It seemlessly integrates across my entire company when it comes to full cycle procure to pay accounts payable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There can be a bit of a learning curve when picking it up at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best ERP system for manufacturing systems on which user get all the required information on single window.

For example if they want to view the items on any purchasing order, they just need to click on upper window to get the details on below window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Things that I don't like about this it is taking lot more time to deploy the changes. Also you can't do any changes if the file taken care by Infor itself. If you forgot to generate and compile any Business Object then the changes will not reflect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use. I mostly use for bill of materials, parts database & costing information which it does the best and I believe it's a cheaper option than a SAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It need a Citrix Xenapp to login into and require frequent password change which irks me. Should be a direct simple login & User interface could be much better. Also, downloading or copying a large data from database is tough and require additional steps which is time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that we have a platform we can use to collect all of the information on our projects. We can look in one place to find the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very cumbersome platform. It is not intuitive, and any changes requested involve a lot of time and resources from our IT department. It also crashes a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface. In depth inter departmental manufacturing operation accessibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It sometime crashes without any reason and take much more time to load again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have been using Infor XA almost 13+ years now, the company uses Infor XA across the organization. With the company being in the manufacturing industry Infor XA allows an efficient tracking of jobs from beginning to end. The Infor XA helps managers see the costs as each job moves from raw materials to finished goods. Infor XA helps the accounting group understand costs and make recommendations as needed to other departments.

Recently added System I Workspace is giving almost a new paradigm shift on the feel of Infor XA, using Infor OS Single sign-on, you can drill down to XA with single click from any feed coming to Infor OS. Using new NETLINK is a perfect web-based interface to XA.

I would highly recommend start using System I workspace/NETLINK interface of Infor XA, also do try some of the cool ready to use Infor OS widgets automatically connect to XA using ION. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

XA is easy to use and give good visablity to everything in your company expecially from a Source to Pay perspective using the Procurement Management module. Features are simple as easy to understand and mimic Microsoft functions. Add on modules give capabilities to help your business in all areas. A solid and reliable ERP. Customization is made easy by using the Powerlink Browser. Infor is always looking to improve the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features are still in 'Green Screen' and if customizations were done in the past they can be hard to 'unravel' and migrate to new technology. Also difficult to upgrade from Green Screens to the Browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Infor XA provides various options to integrate & automate their modules with external applications.

Some of the interfaces for external applications are : System Link ( XML based) & Web Services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is their windows based UI ( Power Link). Good that they are moving into Cloud based web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
