Cons

"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"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 user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."
"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 user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"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."
"It's not that intuitive."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
"The initial setup can be somewhat complex."
"Technical support is good, however, sometimes we do need to wait for an answer."
"We did face some challenges during the implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. Certain requirements were not met by the standard functionality, so we had to customize and build custom applications on top of the solution. But overall, I think it stacks up well as a standard product."
"Oracle should offer a platter system rather than module-based licensing, similar to what SAP offers, allowing customers to implement only what they need without separate module licenses."
"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 solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."
"The interface could be improved in future releases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is somewhat high."
"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."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"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 pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"It is too costly."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"The price is average compared to other vendors. The licensing is on a yearly basis depending on the subscription pattern. There are no extra costs apart from licensing."
