User Testimonials
	Cloud Elements (discontinued)	Infor Intelligent Open Network (ION)
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products Cloud Elements shines when you want to offer multiple options to the user on a type of system, such as supporting integration to CRM and wanting to offer Dynamics, Salesforce, and HubSpot on equal footing. If you only have a single integration with a single system, using Cloud Elements adds an unnecessary layer of abstraction. Incentivized Erik Ralston Chief Architect Read full review	Infor Highly configurable workflows with multiple connectors make it a powerful tool. Built-in Infor ION document schemas are robust and efficient to use. Setting up integration with cloud and complex on-premise systems. Seamless and real-time integration of data between systems. Incentivized Aparna Gudikandula IT Manager Read full review
Pros	Discontinued Products The API itself is very robust and easy to use, being a standard REST interface, standard HTTP response codes, well-packaged error messages, etc. Their uptime is great! I think I've seen one (short) 5-minute' blip' the entire time we've been connected for any type of primary function. Their support is top notch, they respond quickly, and the team that works with you is communicative and knowledgable. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Infor Configuring workflow. Multiple connectors. Real time Integration of data. Easy upgrading of integrated systems. Incentivized Aparna Gudikandula IT Manager Read full review
Cons	Discontinued Products The only thing I can think of that they could improve is the quality of the assets they produce in the go-to-market process. This is a huge value add service, but the quality of what was produced was lower than what we would have produced internally. We spent more time going back and forth on the assets than it would have taken us to build them from scratch. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Infor Support documentation.

Return on Investment	Discontinued Products Not my area of expertise, but it made my job as an implementer much easier, especially after finishing the first integration.
