Pros

"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"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."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"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."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"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."
"The support is excellent. It is a great company."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"The solution covers all modules, similar to Oracle and SAP."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."

"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"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."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"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 user interface needs improvement."
"Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"While Infor LN incorporates the latest business processes and functions, there is always room for improvement as the business grows. In the new normal, it could stand to incorporate quite a few automation processes like the RPA and utilize machine learning in the Internet of Things."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"The solution’s performance could be improved."
