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 like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"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 best feature of this solution is it comes as a complete bundle. The solution has effective project, document, and application management. Additionally, the collaboration is fantastic, it is well integrated, and can be customized."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"The best thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"Odoo's setup phase is easy."
"Odoo is open source, so we can develop it and adjust it to our requirements. It's easy to work with."
"The most valuable features of Odoo are its customization and the fact that I can add modules whenever I want to the solution and the customization."
"It is a comprehensive tool containing a lot of applications integrated together by nature. It is easy to use and has a nice interface that is easy to learn and teach your employees."
"I like the helpdesk module, and I like the simplicity of integration among their modules. All the modules are very well integrated, and you can move among the modules in an easy way."
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is the integration it provides and the many modules available."
"The most beneficial feature of Odoo is its wide community and store, allowing users to purchase solutions and resolve any problems quickly."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"The user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."
"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."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"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 user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"The customization and technical support are not great."
"I'm uncertain because each year they release a new version with improvements. However, one area that needs significant enhancement is the website, particularly the modern core website. While there's an approach similar to WordPress, it is quite basic at the moment. Besides that, particularly with the POS solutions, we identified potential security issues. This is due to the storage of information on cookies or similar sessions. In cases of Internet-related issues, there's a vulnerability where data might be compromised. The system uses temporary storage until the internet connection is restored, and then it pushes the data to the server or database. This poses a risk, especially in point-of-sale systems, where there could be vulnerabilities for data modification or alteration by unauthorized individuals."
"There is a lack of resources for specialized Odoo professionals."
"Odoo can invest in improvements, considering areas like AI and ML, where there are shortcomings."
"The authorization management needs to be improved."
"The tool needs to improve its scalability."
"Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"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 standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"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."
"Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."
"Odoo is cheap compared to competitors."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one means high price, and ten means low price, I rate Odoo's pricing a five or six out of ten."
"Odoo is straightforward in terms of costs. You pay the vendor for both the software and implementation. We selected one of the twelve certified vendors for implementation in our local area, opting for the vendor named Four Zero Five."
"It's expensive, but it has lots of tools available for running the business."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. It is not an expensive solution, especially in my country."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."
