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.…

Comprehensive solution for SCM but requires add-ons for fluid pages
I would like to see a chatbot in PeopleSoft as part of artificial intelligence. Moreover, there are already a few things in the cloud. In the market, all companies and entities are moving to the cloud, whether it is Oracle cloud or AWS cloud. The cloud is the most secure platform where we can also have Fusion. Few companies have migrated from PeopleSoft to Fusion or Oracle Cloud, or AWS cloud based on their organization's requirements. Some organizations are moving from PeopleSoft to upgrade their tools or application versions, while others are moving from PeopleSoft to HCM Cloud if they are into HCM. The cost of the product depends on the enterprise's size, and some enterprises are moving in quantity due to the current market. Additional areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"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 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."
"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 PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"The solution's scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"I've worked with HR, payroll, benefits, time and labor, health and safety, and every module. I've also worked on different modules for the education, health, and financial sectors. My 25 years of experience cover different industries and implementations. I've also worked in the public sector, which is a bit different. I implemented PeopleSoft for the state of Massachusetts, covering 168 schools, colleges, and universities."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"All the features of the solution are integral to the functionality. Additionally, the navigation customization is beneficial."
 

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."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"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."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities."
"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
