ECI Software Solutions
The best in the complete production process. It provides the correct info in a very usable way. It is pretty good in sales, but the lack of discounts for sales goods and sales production is not ideal. On the other hand, ECI provides an excellent service for looking for custom solutions where we need them. Dutch Translation: De beste in het complete productieproces. Het biedt de juiste informatie op een zeer bruikbare manier. Het is redelijk goed in de verkoop, maar het gebrek aan kortingen op verkoopartikelen en verkoopproductie is niet ideaal. Aan de andere kant biedt ECI een uitstekende service bij het zoeken naar maatwerkoplossingen waar we die nodig hebben. This review was originally written in English and has been translated into Dutch using a third-party translation tool. While we strive for accuracy, some nuances or meanings may not be perfectly captured.

I have only used Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) in my current role so I do not have specific scenarios other than, status/pay rate changes are not date effective so I have to make sure and enter any changes to the employees on the day the change is to occur. It would be better if I could enter changes as I receive them and code those changes to an effective date that can be referenced and pulled for reporting purposes.

  • Conversie van artikelfactoren voor aankoop/verkoop/WIP met gebruik van gewicht en lengte in alle richtingen

  • Very stable product. Some of its weaknesses are also its strengths. The lack of web services seems to actually increase stability.
  • No software vendor in this space is perfect. Lawson does perform as advertised.
  • Again, a weakness of this (limited functionality) is a hidden strength as well. In software there is a complexity/feature tradeoff. Where Lawson lacks in features, it does give you a more simple setup for your organization.

Cons
ECI Software Solutions
  • Ridder iQ misses graphical workflow and blocks designer
  • Adaptions to rights in iQ can be difficult and time consuming
  • Ridder iQ is unfortunately still not webbased
  • Ridder iQ is fortunately developping api endpoints but this is still not completed.
  • The no/low code functionality can be extended
  • Ridder iQ mist grafische workflow en blokkeert ontwerper
  • Aanpassingen aan rechten in iQ kunnen moeilijk en tijdrovend zijn
  • Ridder iQ is helaas nog steeds niet webgebaseerd
  • Ridder iQ is gelukkig bezig met de ontwikkeling van API-eindpunten, maar deze zijn nog niet afgerond.
  • De no/low-code functionaliteit kan worden uitgebreid

  • Infor ERP could improve its functionality with Excel. There are ways to export to Excel but certain screens do not have an export feature.
  • Infor ERP could be improved if they had more drill down options. Sometimes you have to go to a separate screen to get more detailed information.
  • Infor ERP could improve on its financial statement generation within the software.

Its nice software but it is very, very slow in webification and integration possibilities by using api's. Untill now the programm has client-server technology unfortunately. And there are far too less no code adjustments possible.

Strong technology stack that gives it long term strengths. Syteline is very scaleable, highly extensible and expandable. Work flow processing (ION) is strong and useful for increasing system feedback to user and decreasing repetitive tasks. Automated report generation is powerful. User interface is clean and very accessible. Broad functionality to meet a wide range of demanding environments. This is a solution you can use long term and not outgrow.

Usability

The working environment can be perfectly designed for every user and department, which makes the user-friendliness very good. Adding columns, formatting tables can all be customized to the user. Dutch Translation: De werkomgeving is perfect in te richten voor elke gebruiker en afdeling, wat de gebruiksvriendelijkheid zeer hoog maakt. Het toevoegen van kolommen en het opmaken van tabellen is allemaal aanpasbaar aan de gebruiker.

The overall support of Inform M3 is simply the best! There isn't a single flaw that I can detect or think of about this software! I can't possibly express the greatness of the availability and all of the possibilities achieved. The ease of use and a lot of functionalities such as flexibility [allows in] configuration to add new functionalities fast.

Ridder iQ is specialized for our business and has people who bring a lot of knowledge to the table, so Ridder iQ is far more suited than a ERP solution which is not specilized in the make-industry. Furthermore, the customizability of Ridder stands out compared to solutions like ISAH. Therefore, the choice was an easy one, because knowledge and customizability are important criteria. Dutch Translation: Ridder iQ is gespecialiseerd in onze branche en heeft mensen met veel kennis in huis. Ridder iQ is daarom veel geschikter dan een ERP-oplossing, die niet gespecialiseerd is in de maakindustrie. Bovendien onderscheidt Ridder iQ zich qua aanpasbaarheid ten opzichte van oplossingen zoals ISAH. De keuze was dan ook snel gemaakt, want kennis en aanpasbaarheid zijn belangrijke criteria.

I used another Infor ERP version called Mapics in the past. It was also a great product; efficient and fast. It was a hybrid one, running under Windows and DOS platforms; and hey, sometimes you need to sacrifice a good looking and colorful screen to black and white DOS in order to get things done faster and effective.

  • Allows us to complete the full-cycle recruitment process
  • In my experience , it does not allow users to navigate through information quickly
  • I believe, when using infor for recruitment, candidates should be able to upload documents required for the position. In my experience, Infor does not allow us to specify this.
