- The ability to customize and add functionality.
- Given that the ERP core is standard for all clients around the world, they are able to customize any process or create a new one.
- It is a great tool to adapt the ERP to clients, independently of the country or countries where the ERP is implemented.

What is most valuable?
How has it helped my organization?
My company is a professional services firm whose main activity is the implementation of this product.
What needs improvement?
- In the older versions, the visuals could be improved.
- Internet access and the general integration with other systems using different technologies (SOAP, REST, etc). In the new versions, these points were improved.
- I have a lot of expertise in the newest version of ERP (Infor 10 or Infor ERP LN 8), since we have been implementing this version for our clients. However, the last version that we implemented, ERP, didn't have the ability to consume a web service by way of REST or JSON.
- Another point is the lack of user-friendly tools to create reports.
- The ERP has a report generator/editor, but it could be more friendly and versatile.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this product for more than eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In general, the system is very stable. From my experience, stability problems arise when there is a mismanagement of the resources in the application server or in the database.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have not had any scalability issues.
How are customer service and support?
In general, technical support is OK.
How was the initial setup?
The initial implementation can be somewhat complex. The size of the system cannot be customized for all the ERP clients due to the costs of doing so.
Many times the corporate environment must adapt to the system's functionality.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don’t know.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
This doesn't apply to my work.
What other advice do I have?
Do not hesitate to implement it because it is a good product. It is robust and reliable.

It's a stable solution with advanced planning tools for manufacturing
Pros and Cons
- "Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing.
What needs improvement?
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.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Infor LN is highly stable.
How are customer service and support?
Infor needs to create an online support chat directly embedded in the product. I will never understand why they don't make a special cloud for support.
How was the initial setup?
If you have a demo company, the setup is easy.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Infor LN eight out of 10. I would recommend Infor LN for large enterprises.

What about the implementation team?

I can't say as I am not a part of the management time, but more on the technical side. However, I am sure it would be good.

What is most valuable?
For most of the clients that I have consulted for, the manufacturing module and the distribution module is utilized and implemented to its fullest.

The User Interface needs to be more user friendly with a sleeker design and the industry best practice processes needs to be implemented. Also, migration from legacy system to Infor LN should be made smoother a process, so that it gives them edge over its competitors.
