I have seen many other ERP software products and in my experience there is NONE that can compare with this one. It has it ALL\! It can not only take you from thought to getting paid, but it can handle any and all clients demands (traceability, certifications, quality requirements, etc). It can handle all internal needs as well (MRP, Production Control, Manufacturing Floor, Scheduling your factory, Maintenance, etc.) To all the reporting capabilities\!\!\! Not to mention their exceptional support staff\! > > **Cons**: WOW, this is a hard one for me. There is not much I do not like about VISUAL, I guess my only piece of advice would be if you are looking to implement this for the first time and are making a change from an existing ERP system, take is slow. I get that they want to see you everything at once, but start with the base model. Get it up and running and everyone trained before taking on another module. It is a marathon not a race. Master one before starting another. Remember this is an asset you should get an ROI every year. Make another model one its ROI's. Keep the system current and healthy and it will do the same for you. > > I have and continue to have an awesome experience with VISUAL. At one time I was the president of the SCVMUG (Southern CA VISUAL Manufacturing User Group) and also sat on the global Infor User Group as a secretary for a few years. I have taught at conferences and still have a few clients to keep my fingers in it. I truly cannot recommend this software enough\! ----- ### "Great Value for Small to Mid Range Companies" — 5.0/5 > **Sam** | *23 September 2019* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Visual offers many different configuration options to help customize the software to your company. Visual is comparatively easy to learn when compared to other major ERP systems (e.g. SAP or Oracle). It's also much easier to administer. The database tables are logically named and relatively easy to figure out for troubleshooting, reporting, and tieing systems together. Visual offers a lot of features that can be setup and used quickly when working with a reliable channel partner. Since signing on with Synergy Resources, we've been introduced to a wide range of applications (e.g. SmartViews reporting, quoting through Configurator, etc.) that have created easy wins for helping our company to get the maximum amount of value out of Visual. > > **Cons**: When first starting out with Visual, it's not always easy to recognize red flags in the system that should tell you stop and look into something, or to know what reports the system gives you that will help you see problems and fix user issues. For a manufacturing company that wants to be able to drill down on what's happening on the shop floor, Visual's labor capture system that comes out of the box has some major shortcomings. Users can only enter one defect code per transaction into the system, requiring them to enter multiple transactions to record their scrap. The new Shop Floor Mobile app offers better features, but doesn't address this issue. We had to write our own labor capture program to meet our business needs. After using and administering Visual at our company for 7+ years, I still have a lot to learn about the system. The amount of options available for configuring Visual is a strength of the system, but also requires a strong knowledge of what each option offers and how the system works. Our original channel partner for implementing the system had a very knowledgeable consultant who offered us hope for how the system could work, but the consultants that primarily dealt with our account were far from experts. Implementing Visual with a bad group of consultants created many issues for us within the system. Since switching our channel partner to Synergy Resources, we've had much better success in cleaning up the problems and utilizing Visual more effectively. > > Your success with Visual will be tied both to your employees' willingness to adjust their processes and procedures to being conducive to the system and to how reliable your channel partner is in helping you setup and learn the system. ----- ### "Business management software built for success" — 5.0/5 > **Marcus** | *22 May 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instead of using disconnected spreadsheets and separate tools for each business function, VISUAL connects workflows across the entire business, worldwide. > > **Cons**: The framework is rigid. Some of the businesses more unique processes do not fit the system design. However, all the processes that are managed within VISUAL are robustly controlled \& easy to use. > > VISUAL is a single business management software that we use to automate and integrate all core functions \& operations. It allows every department to share a single source of accurate data \& information. ----- ### "This product continues to confound me, some things as or better than advertised and many not at all." — 3.0/5 > **Paul** | *25 June 2018* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a fairly comprehensive software package that covers many features in the base product. It's fairly easy to teach new users and users of other ERP systems. > > **Cons**: First \& foremost, part revisions. This product does not handle part revisions in manner that is consistent with accepted engineering practices. It's almost like it was an after thought and even though these short comings have been pointed out to them for years there appears to have been no attempt to fix it. VERY frustrating to deal with. > > Some days it's hard to say. There is a lot of data stored in the database though, however, the "out of the box" reports stink and nearly everything has to be customized. ----- ### "Robust But Difficult" — 4.0/5 > **Jared** | *5 July 2022* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Infor VISUAL is essentially a barebones GUI built upon a robust database made up of many different tables for manufacturing operations. It has all of the tools and functionality needed to run an operation. Actually, it has much more than most companies probably need for their purposes. > > **Cons**: While this software "gets the job done", it doesn't make it easy. The interface is not intuitive, so a lot of training is required for new users. In addition, it lacks useful analytics and is difficult to gain insights into your process. > > Infor VISUAL is successfully running our manufacturing operations. It handles the entire production life cycle. However, we perform our shipping schedule, capacity planning, and analytics on different software. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/415369/infor-visual?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/415369/infor-visual) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
