Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"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."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"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."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"The project module is the best that I've ever seen, and more than that, it's the company's flexibility to change. It means that in our company, Infor LN has the capability to support many kinds of industries."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
 

Cons

"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"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."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"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 finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"When it comes to planning, it's more challenging to consider the entire structure, such as having a specific SKU and wanting to look at the planning for the whole structure. You must delve into individual item details to plan for it with order planning. Therefore, improvements will allow more comprehensive planning for each SKU."
"It's not that intuitive."
"The user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc."
 

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."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"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."
"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."
"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 tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
