Infor VISUAL Reviews & Product Details

Visual is easy to use and convert to Excel and customer service is very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There system is geared towards manufacturing more then the finance-accounting side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is so customizable. Just about anything you wish to do can be done in Visual. Once you learn Visual, the possibilities of what you can achieve in this system are endless. There is a graphical menu so that you dont have to look at the same boring screen day after day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is such a massive system it requires alot of learning about how to work it. Its very time consuming and takes a lot of trial and error to get it figured out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's reliable and proven. It supports most of the features we need and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels clunky and left behind. No decent search bar, still requires 2 additional clicks and use of wildcard characters. The quality of some elements of the scheduling aren't great - I'm not super happy with the way the schedule needs re-running so often and that material dependencies and states aren't viewable from the scheduling window.

SQL based backbone that allows easy access to your data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Out of the box solution is very limited for a production job shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Manufacturing was like my first car. I loved it, I knew intimately how it worked inside and out and it did the job. Infor Visual as it is now called provides deep manufacturing capability, strong scheduling, fantastic material planning. There are add-on's for cad-integration, bar-coding, quality, HR and more. It works with multiple manufacturing/financial companies and can be setup for all types of manufacturers (engineer to order, make to order, configure to order, even process manufacturers can use it).

The community is small so finding a good partner with experience might be tough. The interface/setup isn't as intuitive as other more modern products and there were always problems with reconciling the financials because it was too darn flexible (ship before you make, collect money before invoicing, delete transactions, re-open months, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The structure of the program. The layouts and the repetition of UI throughout the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reference materials are static and do not elaborate on the SQL structure behind the UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to "QuickFilter" my search results in a chart format. It lets me see multiple items on a list for comparison. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The menus or toolbars that I need to use are less than intuitive. Why don't they use standard Windows icons for "Close" and "Save" for example. And keyboard shortcuts are non-standard. Instead of CTRL-C for copy and CTRL-V for paste, I need to use CTRL-INSERT and SHIFT-INSERT. That forces me as a user to often do it wrong, then figure it out, then do it over. Sometimes I can use TAB and sometime it does nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to have all records and data available for Payroll/HR in one system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a bit laggy or will take a very long time to load Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VISUAL provides a good platform for all of our needs, by creating a one-stop-shop for our programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a little glitchy, & causes errors which stops the systems. You cannot customize it at all. Which for as much as the system can do, it was a disappointment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual is used as an ERP and management platform that allows us to manage the flow of raw materials, piece, parts, and inventory throughout our work environment. The system is very good at what it does but it lacks in a graphical user interface. This makes most younger employees have a longer uptake time for processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the inability or seeming inability to customize the platform from anyone but a network admin. There are limited selection choices and most of the commands are text based with no hot keys or map for search parameters or shortcuts. it's up to the individual employees to figure out what these are and create there own documentation in an effort for training and practice. Because this is not a graphics based interface it is not intiuative and must be practiced over and over again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
