    Infor
    I think the integration side of Infor SunSystems is really good where by it works well with our other business systems. It is easy to pick up for new staff members. We have not had to hold full blown training courses for unfamiliar users, they were able to use existing documentation and guides. The graphical interface is a drawback as it feels like you are using an old system.

    Its well suited for medium and large organizations that needs strong financial control , automated workflows , inter-company accounting and real-time reporting . It works wonderfully with all the Microsoft products . However , it may be less useful for small businesses as it requires a good investment in implementation , customization , licensing and user training

    Pros
    Infor
    • Integration options are very good. We are able to import data in a number of ways and extract data as well. The use of their built in API for data validation, extraction and entry is working very well for us.

    Cons
    Infor
    • Although easy to use, Infor SunSystems has a very classical look which comes across outdated
    • Reporting feature is Infor SunSystems is not the best as it is not easy to create reports and the built in reports are limited in the filter options available
    • The Audit function needs configuring and is not ready out of the box so when you come to requiring audit data you can only retrieve after set up

    Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is more robust, and can handle larger, more complex business operations, and have better delineation between corporate management and divisions in a company, but it is not flexible, nor easy to change. It is complex, inflexible, and difficult to incorporate new workflows or business rules to accommodate changes in the business. We have changed over the past decade and while F&O is big and robust, it is not nimble.

    Return on Investment
    Infor
    • With the cost of living we had to reign in the budget this year. As it's easy to export data out of Infor SunSystems we were able to report on spend and gain greater control of outgoings
    • One of our objectives is to build new homes for people. Infor SunSystems allowed us to budget and forecast all the costs to determine what we could achieve
    • With Infor SunSystems being a popular accounting software we are able to recruit previous Infor SunSystems users therefore not having to spend on training staff which is very costly.

    • Because F&O is not very nimble, we are looking to reimplement
    • The lack of interoperability has hindered our ability to use external tools to supplement shortcomings of the product
    • The inflexibility has lead to great frustration from team leads
