ERP integration transforms automation and financial reporting with good support
I use the solution for the manufacturing process, finance, supply chains, and quality It integrates with robotic processing and automation, enhancing our process automation. It also integrates with the PLC system using Mitsubishi and with the MIS software. The solution covers all modules,…
Carlos  Cardona - PeerSpot reviewer
Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
"The most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects. We implement the manufacturing for many customers. These are the main goals of the solution."
 

Cons

"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"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."
"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs for this solution are payable annually. Standard licenses are available, but there is also the option to pay to add extra features."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
