A fusion product that excels in multiple facets
The initial setup is easy. It has made life easier compared to other ERPs in the market. Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP offers features like spreadsheet loaders and integration tools that facilitate data migration from legacy systems to the new ERP version. These tools provide a plug-and-play interface, simplifying data input for functional and technical personnel. Earlier, It was a day-to-day job of inserting the data; migration was complex, and keeping track was difficult. Migration and tracking are streamlined with Fusion Cloud ERP, and tasks such as importing and exporting data are more straightforward. I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is complex and ten is easy. The availability of connectivity tools, learning resources, and Oracle MetaLink support greatly aids users during implementation. The supportive community, including the Oracle ERP community, provides valuable assistance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Customer service and support are very good."
"The best feature of this solution, is that it provides businesses with a way to see information from across different process streams, in one place via dashboards."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"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."
"I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."
"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 solution saves time and money."
"ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."
"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"The best part of Oracle ERP Cloud is that everything can be found in a single place."
"My company found the financial planning and budgeting modules of Oracle ERP Cloud more sophisticated and valuable than its other modules."
"Unlike traditional ERPs, where adding a column is customization, personalization is in the tool. OTBI is built-in, providing many pre-delivered reports and dashboards. It's cloud-based, so it's OpEx instead of CapEx. Oracle Integration Cloud Services offers pre-delivered APIs for easy integration with systems like payroll and Salesforce."
"I find the most valuable feature for the solution to be the company is always evolving by making the product better with continual updates."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"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."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"Additionally, the price is challenging in the market."
"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."
"The stability is not as good as Informatica, but this is very good."
"You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."
"The database is outdated and quite rigid."
"The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version."
"One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database."
"The interface could be improved in future releases."
"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."
"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
