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

"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."
"Most of them who use Infor LN have add-ons connected to ERP. It's either a supplier exchange, or they've got sales problems that are integrated with it."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 user interface needs to be 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."
"Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem."
"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."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"It's not that intuitive."
"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."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"The price of the solution can vary."
