Pros

The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live.""It is a scalable solution.""The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward.

Cons
"The solution's support service could be better.""The platform's distribution features need enhancement.""Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement.""It takes time to properly learn what the product can do.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution.""Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."

More Infor CloudSuite Cons →

"The user interface needs to be 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.""One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication.""The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""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.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention.""The solution’s performance could be improved."
