Used for end-to-end logistics, manufacturing, and finance, but its performance could be improved
We are using the solution for end-to-end logistics, manufacturing, and finance Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability. The solution’s performance could be improved. I have been using Infor LN since 2017. I rate the solution’s stability a six out of ten.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."
"The most valuable features of Infor LN include its production planning capabilities, its efficiency in running in the cloud, and its ability to handle multi-site, multi-logistic, and multi-finance operations."
"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."
"The project module is the best that I've ever seen, and more than that, it's the company's flexibility to change. It means that in our company, Infor LN has the capability to support many kinds of industries."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"The initial setup is easy."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne's most valuable feature is its one consolidated platform that runs all the different aspects of companies."
"It has simplified the process completely, and even though it has many features which are available in the market now, but it is on par with the other ERPs that are available in the market now."
"The financial management features are convenient and helpful in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne."
"The financials are great."
"It is highly configurable. You have a choice in terms of how you want to run it. You can run it in your own data center, in a private cloud, or in a public cloud. The choice is really up to the customer."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are the flexibility of the configuration, it is highly configurable. It is not rigid as other solutions, such as SAP. They have recently added a custom workflow approach and approval workflows."
"The tool is valuable for its rich set of functionalities and stability. The solution is stable. The customer service and support is good."
"It is very straightforward to deploy and set up."
 

Cons

"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."
"It's not that intuitive."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"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."
"The user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"If they can research and make the installation part easier or more user-friendly, it would be nice."
"We found that the system was unable to address many of our concerns, especially when it comes to project management."
"Localization features are critical for all regions. Improving these features in various countries and markets is essential to meet customer needs."
"They need to improve the logs and need to write some sort of script that clears logs after so many days."
"The solution could be easier to implement. However, the complexity was in our internal processes meeting our country's requirements. Every country has a slightly different process, taxation, and rules. That was the difficult part, not the solution itself. I expect our experience would have been more or less the same with any ERP, such as SAP, Navision, or Dynamics."
"Originally, there were some complications with implementation."
"The initial setup was complex...One should get the end-user manual because, in some parts, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is not user-friendly."
"From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs."
 

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."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"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."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"The pricing is very high. Even though the license is perpetual yet you have to get the maintenance. Since we pay using Pesos, it's very expensive."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
"The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
