Pros

"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"I find the job management features of Epicor ERP most useful, especially for material planning. The ERP gives a perfect overview of many aspects. The scheduling is also helpful. It lets us see what we're planning and try different scenarios. For real-time analytics, I use it mostly for planning and "what if" scenarios."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"The solution is great for production planning because everything is out of the box. It smoothly handles the process from engineering to ERP, including version management and subcontracting. These features aren't in NetSuite."
"The most valuable features of Epicor ERP are ease of use, powerful API, and comprehensive integration. It is a one-vendor solution, where other vendors need other software systems from multiple vendors."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of Infor LN include its production planning capabilities, its efficiency in running in the cloud, and its ability to handle multi-site, multi-logistic, and multi-finance operations."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"The solution covers all modules, similar to Oracle and SAP."
 

Cons

"The UI is quite logical, but it needs time to train users because some functions are complex to understand. As for cons, some calculation logic is difficult to grasp and requires time to test and try out. Creating dashboards or reports needs some technical IT knowledge."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"Additionally, the price is challenging in the market."
"The user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."
"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"If you use Infor LN in Infor CloudSuite, there is a need to make an early payment for a license, which is approximately 2,500 EUR."
"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"The licensing costs for this solution are payable annually. Standard licenses are available, but there is also the option to pay to add extra features."
