HareshSuralia - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior lead consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Manufacturing planning has become efficient and supports integrated shop floor and quality control
For manufacturing, Infor LX is very strong on the MRP side with MRP and MPS capabilities, and even shop floor functionality. The platform has quality control features, and there are many additional features available. There is also integration with finance. Overall, for manufacturing, it is very good. There are many modules that have been implemented including inbound, outbound, and logistics. Primarily for manufacturing and the processing side, everything is excellent. It's a solid, proven product. Infor LX's material planning feature is quite a flexible solution.
Hubert Wentzel - PeerSpot reviewer
Principle Consultant at iOCO
Accounting processes have become transparent and time tracking supports our consulting projects
The built-in analytics tools of NetSuite ERP are not good enough for my needs. I did not create the accounting reports; my accounting team developed all of those. I know that all the data we need to analyze in CRM and from projects must be exported, and we run reports on those. The built-in analytics tools in NetSuite ERP do not help me identify opportunities or risks at all. I export all the data and use Power BI to analyze it. I do not utilize the customizable dashboards and just use a normal home page. The inventory management feature does not help us because we do not have any inventory or stock. The advanced financial management features are basic, as general ledger functionality is fundamental to accounting. I would not call it advanced. The principles are as old as accounting itself. NetSuite ERP is a cloud-based accounting platform with nothing exceptional to note. Their pricing is a package deal, so the deeper the investment, the more features are available and the more difficult it becomes to leave. I would like to see additional features in the next release to make it more competitive. I only use a fraction of the functionality because we do not have logistics, merchandising, warehousing, or inventory. We are a consultancy that sells software, implements software products, and provides advisory services, so our accounting needs are actually quite basic. I would rate this product an eight overall.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've been using it since December 2009, and it has been absolutely stable till now."
"Infor LX has improved my customers' manufacturing processes by creating a standard in the process, which improves performance in manufacturing as well as finance, distribution, and supply chain."
"This solution has brought structure and shape to our day-to-day operations."
"One of the things I love about Infor LX is that everything is integrated."
"Infor LX has helped us in conducting efficient production planning, streamlining procurement processes, and maintaining a reliable source of information for our vendors and procurement purchase orders."
"Infor LX's most valuable feature is that it's very interactive."
"The most valuable features are the exit points that enable integration with external software."
"The most important feature of Infor LX for me is the use of models for accounting, which create effects in different layers simultaneously."
"It's perfect for a company that is growing, that's still on the border of small to midsize, and it fits perfectly from a cost and functionality perspective of them trying to get to standard practices that allows them to grow efficiently."
"I like the ease of setup and customization of forms."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"We use it for the projects we do in the telecom industry."
"A single suite of applications (like NetSuite) is a far better solution than running multiple systems."
"As NetSuite ERP is a cloud product, a valuable feature I found in it is the very friendly user interface. You can set up shortcuts within the applications for frequently used reports or navigation. You can also customize dashboards in NetSuite ERP. Another feature I found valuable in the solution is good reporting. It has many industry-standard reports focused on finance and inventory. I also like the seamless switching between production and test environments and that you can customize the environments within NetSuite ERP. For example, you can put banners on your test and production environments to differentiate or segregate the logins to prevent mistakes. The solution is pretty easy to use and navigate, and it's more of a lightweight software. I like that it's a cloud product, so work is done on the front end rather than the back end. There's also a community for NetSuite ERP where you can raise your queries and issues. You'll find other people sharing experiences about common issues so you can get quick fixes from the community."
"We were able to implement NetSuite and the apps and the integrations for under $500,000 for the entire new system, achieving a net savings of $500,000 a year with more modern technology that worked better for them and without needing a team of three tier-one experts on staff to manage the system."
"I really like the CRM module of NetSuite that gives a 360-degree customer view."
 

Cons

"It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting."
"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"Infor needs more APIs, as in the current version, APIs are not fully developed. The development of APIs must be enhanced, especially for AS400."
"From a supporting point of view, Infor LX is not quite what I see with SAP and other areas."
"Infor has now stopped and drastically reduced investing in this product."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"The interface needs enhancement, as I am still using outdated screens. I would benefit from a more integrated interface."
"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."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. Multiple manufacturing features need to be updated on NetSuite. More functionalities need to be added. I think there are a lot of functionalities coming out for warehouse management systems and manufacturing automation via advanced manufacturing functionalities. I think they need to improve a little more on those aspects and make it easier on the scheduling aspect."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. Multiple manufacturing features need to be updated on NetSuite."
"Technical support is very weak. That's because, once again, they've hired a bunch of kids."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
"Some of the features around the payroll and payroll taxes and management of that are lacking. We had to outsource some of that because we found that the functionality isn't there."
"The areas that this product needs to improve on is the implementation and inventory processes."
"I would like to see improvement around the Revenue Recognition module. Right now, several templates are there, but they are either too complicated, or they are difficult to configure, from a company finance perspective."
"The user interface could be improved. The latest technology can be used to improve the list view of records and load pages faster on a browser."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Infor LX is not cheap but much cheaper compared to SAP HANA."
"Pricing is variable due to different deals and discounts, typically starting at around $2000 US dollars for one license."
"Our last maintenance fee was around $15,000 a year for 33 current users."
"It's very competitively priced due to it being a subscription model. So, clients are quite happy with the pricing. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It is completely on a subscription basis. We pay yearly and, and you do not have to do anything on a monthly basis. Prices depend on the organization's scale and all those things, but they are doing a good job with the pricing."
"I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
"When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
"The price of the solution is quite high."
"Pricing for NetSuite ERP is okay, but it could be better. The licensing model for NetSuite ERP is based on the number of modules and users. The standard license covers up to twenty-five users. If you have more than twenty-five users, you'll have to buy the premium license, which would double the price. For one module with five user licenses, the cost is between $40,000 to $50,000."
"NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
"The price is less than the cost of daily hours."
