Global ERP solution for complex manufacturing companies
4/5 (12 review)Pluspunten
Fast moving: new functionalities are developed frequently. During the last years I saw lot of improvements in all modules. This makes me hungry for installing new releases!
Extensibility: this is the most impressive functionality recently developed. It allows me to customize business logic, without tainting the original source code. By this way, I'm free to move to newer releases, without impacts on my business continuity.
Cloud Option: it is important to have a cloud option for customers
Integration: ION integrations with BOD(xml) and API are a groundbreaking Tool for communicating with other software!
Minpunten
Complexity: it must be stated that this product is designed for large companies, where multiple people can take care of each aspect of the process. Small branches, where few people have to manage warehouse, invoicing etc can be overhelmed by all the tasks required.
In MASA, we use LN for all the service in the company and the posibility to have each one integrated in the software it’s a very good thing for us. That permit us to simplificate the comunication and the exchange of information.
Moreover the robustess of the diferente process permit us to have a better inventory of our production and detect when we can act to reduce it.
Pluspunten
We like the optimize customer user orientation, that permit us to have a nice and friendly tool to make the work more interesting.
Moreover we like the possibility to create a serial number for each part from the beginning and to have a good traceability of our product.
Minpunten
Sometime is complicated to know why you can do something but always it’s a good raison.
Very stable, function-rich system at a fair price.
Pluspunten
* GUI: State-of-the-art GUI, works very well in common browsers like Chrome, IE. LN also runs on a Raspberry Pi
* Generic Excel Export and Import
* Personalization feature - hide non-required fields and tabs from sessions (transactions) and hide non-required sessions (transactions) in menus
* Very rich functionality overall. LN is a very good fit for companies operating in multiple countries and in my different industries.
Minpunten
The length of some fields like item code description, business partner name, ... is too small.
As an ERP product it is the best and I'm personally evident by working as a customer for last 20+ years in around 5 different organizations (different sectors) as a member the implementation team or as the product owner from the very old versions of BaanIV C2 to present Infor LN10.4
Pluspunten
Product functionalities are superb and it is getting improved in every second. Flexibility in customizing UI is far better than any other ERPs available as at now
Minpunten
Time taken to complete one entry is too much and there is no any other option or defaults than we can set to ease the entries.

Pluspunten
Infor LN is highly customisable, easy deployment, easy to understand GUI, benchmark solution for manufacturing industry, localisation is great, great customer support..

Licensing issues especially when killing/retrieving, it could be better in handling single sign on capabilities. Rest is great.
We have a good development team which is able to meet almost every company requirement.

EDI module based on BEMIS - not very user friendly.
Pluspunten

Minpunten
LN contains bad reports, and query tools are not able to search for CDF
incoming inspection, NCR's, inventory management, scrap reviews
Pluspunten
This ERP can be a great asset to a company if it is set up right. A lot of flexibility for customization and the very vast list of features.
Minpunten
It's not so user-friendly, a lot of glitches. Its funny like some feature works perfectly right and out of sudden, it does not work next time.
Would not recommend. For the price you pay and the lack of support you get, you'd be better off finding a different solution that works better.
Pluspunten
We are able to synchronize with 3rd party software's and it works a lot better than prior versions. Functionality for emailing reports directly out of LN is nice.
Minpunten
Support is crappy. I have had tickets open for nearly 3 months that are unsolved. When patches/solution updates are released, they normally cause other issues and has major impact on the end users.
Pluspunten
The good thing about Infor ERP is that it is not as pricey as SAP and can pretty much compete with SAP in terms of functionalities.
Minpunten
The only con I can think of is that it is far more expensive that Microsoft Dynamics so customers sometimes go for Dynamics.
We are able to connect all our plants/ofice across the globe and we can guarantee consistent, structured data in all countries. We are able to integrate third party software by using BOD messages and adding business logic with Extensibility.
