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,…

A streamlined and customizable ERP solution with a user-friendly interface, modular flexibility, cost-effective licensing, and a comprehensive suite of integrated business applications
Our country, Pakistan, seems to have limited support compared to other regions. Currently, the regional office is in Dubai, and I believe it would be beneficial to establish a regional office in Pakistan to enhance support and accessibility for users in our country. There is room for improvement in their mobile app. While it is generally user-friendly, it frequently encounters glitches and issues and I suggest that the mobile application be enhanced in future updates to make it more interactive and reliable.

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 feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Customer service and support are very good."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months."
"The feature allows customization as we wish."
"Odoo operates on a subscription-based model, ensuring access to the most up-to-date version at all times."
"We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features."
"Being open source, it is more affordable compared to alternatives like Oracle or SAP, and I appreciate how easy it is to customize with the available sources."
"The most beneficial feature of Odoo is its wide community and store, allowing users to purchase solutions and resolve any problems quickly."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Odoo is user-friendly. It's the first solution we tried, so we find it easy to use."
 

Cons

"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"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 user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"Additionally, the price is challenging in the market."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features."
"The solution should improve its performance."
"It's too early to make a definitive statement about Odoo as we are currently in the implementation stages. Once the implementation is complete and the system is up and running, we'll be able to provide feedback on its effectiveness and suitability for our needs. The implementation is very straightforward, and the system is easy to operate, similar to working with a spreadsheet. If there's one thing that could significantly enhance the system, it would be incorporating more AI capabilities."
"The tool needs to improve its scalability."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"The reporting and the interface could definitely be better."
"Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is somewhat high."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"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."
"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 standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
