Infor Ln Manufacturing Consultant at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Cloud deployment has streamlined complex manufacturing projects and supports faster implementations
The workflow configuration, alert configuration, and report designing could be a bit easier. It is easy now, but it needs some technical guidance in terms of writing code, fixing it, and making it more flexible for users. The improvement needed in this area is around twenty percent. Seventy to eighty percent is user-friendly, but if Infor can put more energies into making this easier, that would be beneficial. Extensions and any customizations are also a bit technical. If they can make it a simple drag and drop, low code or no code method, it would be easier. Another area for improvement is AI integration. As we are in the AI era, Infor is putting energies into integrating AI within the application, but they are still in progress. If AI can be integrated so that customers or users can interact with it, that would be beneficial. If users want any information from the system or application, it should be a chat-based, user-friendly interaction so that they can get insights in real time. AI integration would add an advantage on a greater level, and Infor should focus on this improvement area.

IT Director at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Consistent optimization of production and efficient procurement processes improve operational effectiveness
I am working as an IT Director at Istituto De Angeli, which is a company of Fareva. FAREVA is a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, makeup, and home and industrial care products. I have worked with the traceability and audit features in Infor LX, including the electronic signature module, which is essential in the pharmaceutical industry. The electronic signature is a key component of compliance for our ERP. This is crucial for periodic inspections we receive from authorities, including European authorities, Italian AIFA, USA FDA and other Pharma Agencies and Ministry world wide. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Infor LX a 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution covers all modules, similar to Oracle and SAP."
"With Infor LN, many of the processes have been streamlined because it has a central repository of all the data."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex, and the Spanish localization is also very good."
"Customer service and support are very good."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"Infor LN is very good at manufacturing modules for manufacturing industries."
"This solution has brought structure and shape to our day-to-day operations."
"Infor LX's most valuable feature is that it's very interactive."
"The most important feature of Infor LX for me is the use of models for accounting, which create effects in different layers simultaneously."
"One of the major advantages of Infor LX is the stability of the program."
"I've been using it since December 2009, and it has been absolutely stable till now."

Cons

"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"The User Interface needs to be more user friendly with a sleeker design and the industry best practice processes needs to be implemented."
"The interface can be difficult sometimes."
"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"The following need improvement: Standard beautiful looking reports - most reports have too much content and often need to be customized for user friendly presentations."
"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."
"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."
"Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX."
"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"Infor has now stopped and drastically reduced investing in this product."
"The interface needs enhancement, as I am still using outdated screens. I would benefit from a more integrated interface."
"From a supporting point of view, Infor LX is not quite what I see with SAP and other areas."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting."
"It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."
