Carlos  Cardona - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"The solution covers all modules, similar to Oracle and SAP."
"Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."

Cons

"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."
"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."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"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."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"It's not that intuitive."
"Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."

"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"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."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The cost is somewhat high."
