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.

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

"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"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 solution covers all modules, similar to Oracle and SAP."
"The project module is the best that I've ever seen, and more than that, it's the company's flexibility to change. It means that in our company, Infor LN has the capability to support many kinds of industries."
"Infor LN has led to money saving and cost savings since I started using it."
"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 support is excellent. It is a great company."
"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

"The price is challenging in the market."
"Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"The user interface of Infor LN could be more intuitive for common users. Sometimes, it is necessary to have an expert for connections."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"The user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."
"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."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"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."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"The licensing costs for this solution are payable annually. Standard licenses are available, but there is also the option to pay to add extra features."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
