Integrated planning has improved document automation but reporting and user experience still need work
There are areas where Infor CloudSuite can improve. I have touched on the pros and key strengths of Infor CloudSuite, but end-user feedback indicates that there are several areas where the user experience can improve. For instance, when it comes to reporting, it comes with a very limited number of reports, and the standard reports are clunky, requiring a technical resource or developer to enhance or make them presentable. Another area is user experience; it takes several clicks to get to the information, and the user interface isn't that intuitive. Compared to other solutions, such as top-tier options such as Oracle or SAP, this stands out as an area needing improvement. When it comes to integration, Infor CloudSuite does offer a great deal of flexibility. It comes with APIs, so you can integrate with any third-party systems you may use. On that front, it's sufficient; however, it does require some specialized resources, as it's not a layman's job, and developers need to help with the integration. This is generally the case for any ERP. The user interface could indeed be better, and there is a steep learning curve for users; it takes time for them to get accustomed to Infor CloudSuite's interface and forms. However, once users adapt, it becomes easier and smoother to navigate. There are great features associated with Infor CloudSuite, such as DataViews and Birst as a business intelligence tool, which can be integrated with the basic product. Implementing Birst isn't plug-and-play; it requires a team of technical resources to execute. Additionally, there is a feature that allows integration with Excel, which can be installed by your IT team.

Has shown limitations in digital capabilities but has supported key processes over time
JD Edwards World's real-time data analytics is very limited, and while it can be helpful, it is not the same as EnterpriseOne. I am currently using inventory management in JD Edwards World. I am satisfied with the security architecture in JD Edwards World; it is very easy and user-friendly. Even in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, it is very adaptable and you have role-based security without needing additional software. I am totally satisfied with the security part of JD Edwards World, but you must just know what you are doing. I am currently using on-premises JD Edwards World. My final mark for JD Edwards World is about five; I think it was good for when it lasted, quite a few years ago, but it is very outdated now. Therefore, the way to go is EnterpriseOne or cloud. For current usage, I would rate JD Edwards World maybe a five. My overall review rating for JD Edwards World is five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
"What I appreciate most about Infor CloudSuite is the out-of-box standard functionality; it really can function to meet the needs of any company."
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."
"The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."
"Mainly, we pushed back a $7M plant expansion because we were able to increase throughput with our existing facility."
"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"JD Edwards World is a good ERP with high security from the application design."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"We have been satisfied with how it works and how stable and reliable it is."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"The solution has very good stability; there aren't any bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
 

Cons

"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"They could include marketing automation for the product."
"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."
"Customer Service: Infor is impossible, but if you have a good reseller partner, they can handle just about any issues."
"The disadvantages of Infor CloudSuite are related to Absence Management. There are too many setups for users to establish absence plans, formulas, and calculations."
"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."
"As far as pricing and licensing are concerned, more licenses are needed when companies grow with Infor CloudSuite."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World."
"JDE World is more stable than JDE EnterpriseOne. For JDE EnterpriseOne, the Integrity part will generate some errors; since they have low Integrity, we get some duplicate records in the accumulator table."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"I have more than 18 years of JDE experience in JDE EnterpriseOne and World versions. I think JDE is good but compared to SAP and Oracle EPS, we can see which area needs to have some improvement for JDE."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
