Cons
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."

More Infor VISUAL Cons →

"SAP is not making a big effort to make it easy to integrate solutions from other vendors. It's not easy at all... Integration is what they can do better.""SAP ERP's initial setup phase needs to be simplified.""More integrations and built-in integrations with other environments and products are needed.""The UI could use improvement.""We will not make any major changes, and we are not expecting any enhancements or new features from SAP because they already have a new solution. No development is happening on SAP ERP because SAP has come up with a new version called SAP S/4HANA, which is memory-based technology. We are planning to upgrade to SAP S/4HANA, but we don't know when it will happen. We are in the preparation phase.""Technical support is an area that is in need of improvement.""There is room for improvement in the integration of the solution, especially in the payroll area.""It would also help if it were more open, more flexible, with more standard products."
