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

"Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
"The solution covers all modules, similar to Oracle and SAP."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"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."
"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 beneficial feature of Odoo is its wide community and store, allowing users to purchase solutions and resolve any problems quickly."
"It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution."
"With Odoo, being open source is advantageous because we have access to the source code for whatever we develop. This gives us the flexibility to make additions, deletions, or modifications according to our needs without any restrictions. There are no predefined formats that limit our customization options."
"Odoo operates on a subscription-based model, ensuring access to the most up-to-date version at all times."
"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 solution is easy to use."
"What I appreciate most about this solution is its ease of customization compared to other products. Odoo is straightforward and simpler to customize. Additionally, it offers stability by decentralizing the entire ERP with multiple products, making management and support more efficient. Moreover, the availability of talent in India is a key advantage, as the salaries for Odoo professionals are relatively lower than SAP or Oracle ERP professionals. This makes it easier for us to find suitable talent for projects seamlessly."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"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."
"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."
"Additionally, the price is challenging in the market."
"The user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."
"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"The reporting and the interface could definitely be better."
"The solution should improve its performance."
"The sales model is not the best, and it lacks certain features."
"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."
"The user interface is not the best."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo's technical support."
"Odoo has room for improvement in industry-specific features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 price of the solution can vary."
"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."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"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."
"Odoo is cheap compared to competitors."
"Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."
"The price of the solution depends on the use case. However, it can be expensive and we are paying annually."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Odoo's pricing a six out of ten."
"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"The solution's licensing costs are low compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."
