Installation and integration are areas that are quite easy to manage
With ERPNext, some business challenges will definitely be there. So far, my company has seen that it cannot go for bigger enterprise models, like SAP. With SAP, it is a completely different game, whereas for the SMEs having almost 100 to 500 users, ERPNext can be a good tool. With ERPNext, there can be some challenges in the case of business or routing. The tool is suitable if you have a multi-cloud environment in your company or if there is some company that prefers to be branded as an enterprise business. As there are so many third-party integrations, depending on third-party applications, all those. You know? I mean, you have so many CRM models, but the thing is that with the ERP ERPNext CRM, you can't compare it with Salesforce. For the SME sector, the tool is good. The tool's features are developed for a bigger network. It will take a little bit of time, but as of now, we can see that the tool is good for the SME sector. The tool has not come up with anything for some specific domains, like construction domains. Right now, it is a big challenge to use the tool in the education domain, but right now, the product has resolved it. Many people use the tool since it has a larger network. The tool keeps developing, and it will take time to develop. For the education domain, the tool will have to come up with LMS features and transportation, which make up for small challenges.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the product's initial setup a nine on a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool that is customizable based on the business environment."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
 

Cons

"The look, feel, and color are areas in ERPNext that can be improved."
"The tool has not come up with anything for some specific domains, like construction domains."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"Additionally, the price is challenging in the market."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"From a technical perspective, LN needs to work on customization and integration. It's fairly expensive for many clients to migrate from a customized private solution to the cloud. Infor needs to improve the cloud solution to make the migration from the on-prem customized solution faster and smoother. Otherwise, many clients will find it difficult or expensive to do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."

"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"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."
