Room For Improvement

Infor CloudSuite needs enhanced documentation, IoT integration, distribution, financial reporting, pricing, planning, support, and external compatibility.
ServiceNow needs enhanced UX, simpler interfaces, better licensing, improved documentation, integration, and expanded mobile and offline functionality.
In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long.
In Europe, it's difficult to find people who already know Infor, which was a problem during implementation.
There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow.
There are sometimes challenges with the portal being a bit confusing for new users.
 

Setup Cost

Infor CloudSuite is costly but comprehensive, with pricing from $80,000 annually; discounts depend on usage and user count.
ServiceNow's high pricing and complex licensing favor larger enterprises with scalability and functionality, despite deterring smaller businesses.
Infor CloudSuite is cheaper than SAP and the license is on a yearly basis.
ServiceNow's pricing can be justified if more functionality is required.
 

Valuable Features

Infor CloudSuite enhances manufacturing with efficient scheduling, automation, analytics, and flexibility, boosting processing speed and collaboration.
ServiceNow offers flexible customization, cloud-based integration, real-time analytics, and automation for efficient business process management across various departments.
We handle approximately 500 to 600 orders per day, and the product is excellent for extracting and implementing solutions to check various parameters like client credit status.
Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities.
ServiceNow provides a wide range of functionality, covering all the necessary modules, unlike Jira which is primarily for IT.
The most valuable features of ServiceNow for me are its ticketing and reporting capabilities.

Advanced forecasting and analysis capabilities
In terms of improvements, we can add new features that customers are demanding, such as service and quality improvements. For instance, we could have a model to predict the expected quality, which can be imported and developed as a new feature. We can improve quality features, and there is room for enhancement. Additionally, we can also improve service-related features by adding new functionalities. Each department has its workflow. But there is a hierarchy for pricing, and managers should be approached in such cases. So, there can be a more stabilized way of having a single point of contact to approach at any time. It is already there, but some more enhancements would be good. Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle. Some more workloads need to be done to integrate those tools, and we can have some enhancements on integration. ION is a very good tool, and we use web services already. The old system of using RESTful APIs has been eradicated, and the super approval trial is good. So, this tool is a refined way of working with services where it integrates any third-party tool. But, some of the older versions may need additional adjustments to integrate properly.

Custom integration and reporting lead to efficient ticket management
There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow. Although there are child incidents or tickets, tracking primary issues or bugs within enhancements is not present. The reporting features in the new portal could be more user-friendly. While it provides options to minimize chart and image sizes, actual implementation doesn't always reflect these changes.
