Useful Layout and Systematic Reports, but Clunky Support and Some Outdated Reporting **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2026 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** Systematic reporting and kind of useful layout **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** clunky limited support options outdated reporting systems in some cases **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** manufacturing costing accounting ### 2. Manufacturing Company-Finance Side **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason H. | Accountant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** Visual is easy to use and convert to Excel and customer service is very reliable. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** There system is geared towards manufacturing more then the finance-accounting side. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** I dont have any problems with the system. ### 3. Infor Visual Manufacturing **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Melissa B. | Financial Accountant, Machinery, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2020 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** 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. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** If you need a system that handle a large workflow and is customizable, Visual is the way to go. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am keeping my accounting & manufacturing data safe, secure, and all in 1 place instead of multiple types of programs. Visual can handle a heavy workload and support multiple departments. ### 4. Reliable software, starting to lag behind. **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2021 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** It's reliable and proven. It supports most of the features we need and more. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** 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. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** Production scheduling - although there is a lot of time consuming manual tweaking required, which requires running the schedule multiple times to make it work. ### 5. Heavily customized ERP software **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steven E. | Manufacturing Engineer / CNC Programmer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** SQL based backbone that allows easy access to your data. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** Out of the box solution is very limited for a production job shop. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** Scheduling/tracking ~300-600 concurrent jobs through a multi work center job shop. ### 6. Best out of the box manufacturing system I've worked with **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike F. | Manufacturing Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** 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). **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** 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.) **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** Great product if you own a small to medium size business and don't care about financials, sales/marketing, reporting or remote access. This product does one thing REALLY well. It costs, tracks, schedules and reports on production. If you're reading this and need help or advice, just reach out to me on linked. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** Most ERP's on the market require you to spend a small fortune to get up and running, but not Visual. Probably for less than $50,000 you will have a manufacturing system that is equivalent in functionality to SAP or AX. So if you believe that you make money on the shop floor instead of accounting department and don't have a lot of money to spend I strongly recommend looking at this product. ### 7. Senior Manufacturing Engineer **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2019 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** The structure of the program. The layouts and the repetition of UI throughout the interface. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** The reference materials are static and do not elaborate on the SQL structure behind the UI. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are implementing full costing of our custom configured products using Visual in conjunction with a full CPQ system. ### 8. Infor VISUAL -Part Maintenance and Purchasing modules **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeffrey S. | CAD System Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2018 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** I like the ability to "QuickFilter" my search results in a chart format. It lets me see multiple items on a list for comparison. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** I am glad for the User-Defined Fields. It seems like most of the data I need is in those fields. But I wonder why they are not standard fields. For example: Part Number and Engineering Change Level are UDF. I would recommend that a new company who is considering an ERP system have some experienced personnel from multiple fields review the software thoroughly before making a decision. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** My company uses Infor Visual Manufacturing for ERP. Like many large companies, our specialized users normally each only use a small portion of the software to do our various jobs. Hopefully someone is finding value in all this information, but at my level it is a bunch of data I am unsure of the benefit. ### 9. Great software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Valerie D. | Recruiter, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2018 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** Ability to have all records and data available for Payroll/HR in one system **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** Sometimes it can be a bit laggy or will take a very long time to load **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** If you want a system that provides great database of information of our employees than I would highly reccommend Infor Visual, **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ability to have all of our records held in one spot. ### 10. Product is on the Right Track **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maria F. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** VISUAL provides a good platform for all of our needs, by creating a one-stop-shop for our programs. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** 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. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used it to manage and keep track of Purchase Order's & financial data. ### 11. infor visual review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** 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. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** Learn how to operate in a none text based environment. This is not a graphics friendly program. I cannot stress how much a different graphics user interface and ease of data entry and ability to change things would make life so much easy for this software. Though the structure is there to support it. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visual meets all of our current needs and is very good at managing the flow of materials into and out of the facility. It is so good at this that we are using it to aid us in the expansion of all our facilities. ### 12. Material Buyer **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Machinery | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 12, 2018 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** Easy access to all fields pertinent to material purchase **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** No really good training tools available. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** Reduction of raw material on hand. Quick reference to order screen. ### 13. Infor Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lukas S. | CFO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2018 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** I like the ease of use and ability to quickly export reports into Excel format for further analysis. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** Some of the windows within Visual do not have an option to drill down to a transaction level. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps keep track of the various steps of manufacturing and offers a good system to report financial information. ### 14. using for over 15 years as our ERP **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** It works. Infor support and knowledgebase are helpful. Most questions answered quickly. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** can be a little slow to grasp process at first. **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** Work with a test environment at all times. Using ODBC connections you can easily access the data in Excel or MS Access. Gupta runtimes are archaic and probably the Achilles heal. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visibility and tracking from design, to orders, returns, bill of materials, customer service. Visual handles a wide range of these processes and has good security features. The software is constantly evolving. ### 15. Streamline your production with Visual **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2017 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** Visual is a stable platform with tons of available customization. It work great out of the box but really reaches its stride when you customize it to your business environment. The support is great and most problems/questions are resolved same day, usually within the same hour. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** Visual does have a learning curve and some understanding of databases will help tremendously. The learning curve can be daunting for new users. **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** A solid product. Use the Infor website, especially the Knowledge Base. Most of the answers to my questions can be found there. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** All aspects of manufacturing are covered, Purchased orders, Customer Orders, Work Orders, Labor collection. Shop floor and resource planning and made simple and reporting is built in. Visual has become the one-stop-shop for data collection and processing. ### 16. Compentent ERP System for limited functionality **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Machinery | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2016 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** It is a functional system for basic ERP operations functions (inventory tracking, shipping/receiving, purchasing, MRP, etc). Infor in general has good support when issues arise. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** Reporting in general is archaic. This is not a finance friendly reporting system. Without a few different types of 3rd party reporting software packages, it is extremely difficult to do any analytic work directly from Visual beyond reconciling GL to Subledger. Consolidating is also very difficult compared to tier 1 ERP systems. **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** Make sure before you adopt an ERP system that it meets the basic needs of all functions in your organization, and consider where your organization will be in 5-10 years before committing to a software package. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** ERP software for efficiency of operations. Automated tracking of inventory movement, job costing, job workflow. ### 17. Awesome Product **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Airlines/Aviation | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2016 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** Very capable ERP. It can do things that larger ERP's like SAP can do at a fraction of the operating cost. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** The Visual Quality module has many features however approval flow of records could use further enhancement. **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** N/A **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** Powerful tool to ensure your program is on schedule and on budget. ### 18. this product is easy to use and shoud be simeple to process data **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2016 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** I like the reporting on the product best. The reports turn out great **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** I think the product needs to be a little more user frendly. **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** I as use the product as a casual user and see improvements daily. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** I really have not seen the benefits yet. I have realized I need the product. ### 19. Not a modern day expierence **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2014 **What do you like best about Infor VISUAL?** It is good as a manufacturing tracking capability tool. **What do you dislike about Infor VISUAL?** It is very difficult to use as an end user. With today's multiple products that require a very little technical expertise to run/manage this is complicated and out of date. I think that it is challenged to keep up with future technology. I would strongly encourage them to leverage a different platform and follow a user friendly first approach. Allow the technology to be adaptable. **Recommendations to others considering Infor VISUAL:** If you are looking for a forward thinking product I would not recommend this solution. Make sure that you take an end user first approach without that you will be hard pressed to get adoption. **What problems is Infor VISUAL solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted to be able to track manufacturing capabilities and financial information. It links the two together well. ## Infor VISUAL Discussions - [What is Infor VISUAL used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-infor-visual-used-for) - [View Infor VISUAL pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/infor-visual/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-24+02%3A14%3A11+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=1782e648-1cf6-4023-bfe3-f358cd042628&secure%5Btoken%5D=2afbc66dc16aa4edc1865fc14f82fa799fffab35274880fbf1a27947d84aad07&format=llm_user) ## Infor VISUAL Features **Accounting** - Chart of Accounts - AP Automation - AR Automation - Journal Entries - Tags & Dimensions - Cash Management - Payment Batches - Payments Scheduling - Payment Settlements - Payment Methods **Accounting** - AP Automation - AR Automation - Audit Trail - Budgeting / Forecasting - Collections Automation - Financial Statements - Invoice Customization - Journal Entries - Monitor Cash Positions - Multi-Entity / Consolidation - Payment Processing - Recognition Rules - Reconciliations - Tags / Dimensions - Payments Scheduling - Payment Batches - Payment Settlements - Payment Methods **Inventory & Warehouse** - Inventory Tracking - Inventory Costing - Product Master - Inventory Forecasting - Integrations **Back Office** - Allocation - Maintenance - Organization Management - Purchase Orders - Requisition - Sourcing **Purchasing** - Demand - Purchase Orders - In Transit - Receiving **Front Office** - ATP - Contact & Account Management - Product & Price List Management - Promotions and Discounts - Quote & Order Management - Returns / Refunds - Territory & Quota Management **Sales & Marketing** - Customer Master - ATP - Order History - Returns - Credit Limits - Pricing & Discounts **Integration** - Data Import and Export Tools **Manufacturing** - WIP - Work Orders - MRP - BOM - MPS - Shop Floor **Logistics** - Centralized Inventory Database - In Transit - Inventory Forecasting - Inventory Pricing and Costing - Inventory Reporting - Inventory Tracking / Ordering - Picking Methods - Picking Planning - Receiving - Shipping Options **Quality Management** - Inspections - Rework - Waste - Defects **Platform** - Customization - Internationalization - Output Document Generation - Performance and Reliability - User, Role, and Access Management - Workflow Capability **Distribution** - Picking & Packing - Shipping - Tracking **Production** - BOM - Defects - Identify Demand - Manage Resources - MPS - MRP - Production Plans - Rework - Shop Floor - Waste - WIP **HR** - Payroll - Time & Attendance **Reporting & Analytics** - Custom Reporting - Dashboards - Integration **Generative AI ** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Agentic AI - ERP Systems** - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Discrete ERP** - Cross-system Integration - Natural Language Interaction - Decision Making ## Top Infor VISUAL Alternatives - [NetSuite](https://www.g2.com/products/oracle-netsuite/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (4,684 reviews) - [Acumatica](https://www.g2.com/products/acumatica/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (1,906 reviews) - [SAP Business One](https://www.g2.com/products/sap-business-one/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (418 reviews)
