Project Manager at a aerospace/defense firm with 10,001+ employees
Facilitates streamlined business processes and consolidation of divisions
The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs. It simplifies tracking by following every transaction in the system, allowing finance to see online each finance transaction from production orders, purchase orders, inventory, and project-wise. Infor LN helps consolidate divisions into one language, facilitating time and cost savings.
Carlos  Cardona - PeerSpot reviewer
Operations Manager at Visual K
Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"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 thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects. We implement the manufacturing for many customers. These are the main goals of the solution."
 

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."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"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 price is challenging in the market."
"The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it."
"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."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
