Infor SalesLogix comes standard with Infor Mobile CRM, Website Lead Capture, and 100/GB of Storage per 50 users.

As a developer I find the customization of the LAN client fairly straightforward. You can achieve basic modifications to the system relatively quickly and it is easy to track these modifications within the Architect client app using version numbering and project bundles. When needing to make more complex customizations, the standard controls are adequate for most scenarios with the ability to expand into .NET extension scripts in order to use custom controls and a variety of other window layouts that can't be achieved through VBScript.

The customization process for the web client is very complicated and can often be quite unreliable. Transferring custom development from the LAN to Web clients can be a lengthy process. The Application Architect script editing tools are very minimal (though you can develop in Visual Studio before copying back in to your Web deployment).

The ease of LAN customization allows for the product to be expanded well beyond its standard functionality. This includes adding C# .NET extensions, which can be used to connect to varying web APIs in order to bring more value into the out of the box client functionality.

The tool is very customizable. You are working with a 3rd party contractor who will do the majority of your development work, at a cost. The tool is web based, has a mobile site, and has recently seen some investment in product design improvements and upgrades, after years of very little of either.

Although the cost of ownership is small compared to some competitors, it is very easy to be nickle and dimed along the way for every little change or customization you'd like to make. The user community is small, and finding answers to common problems can be difficult. Although recent investments have improved the product, overall it is still very much far behind more current competitors like Salesforce.

We use the tool across an enterprise of 300 users for sales, marketing, service and support, and more.

The system seems passable for the price point.

My primary dislike is Infor as a company. It's difficult dealing with them. There seems to be a few humans over there but I often get heavy handed responses. Don't bother thinking they will budge an inch for anything. Ever. One particular example involves storage. They say you get 100 gigs and in the contract it says, "Infor CRM SaaS storage subscription 100 GB". Great, one of the reasons I picked this platform over Salesforce is because of data overage charges. Now the database I'm migrating from is 11.4 gigabytes. Seems like i'm in the clear right? Nope. It is impossible to know this as an outsider, but that 100 gigs of storage is FILE STORAGE, it is NOT available for your operating database. They have a 10 gig partition for the database engine, and that's what you are stuck with. I pointed this out that the contract says I have 100 gigs of cloud storage and it would be impossible for me to know that my database size was limited to 10 gigs. I asked if we could increase that size and I get: “It is not our process, as all new customers get the designed AMI. The designed AMI is considered standard, and when more space is required or requested it must be purchased. " Help and training are also surprisingly expensive and lackluster. When I'd pose questions to their normal support (infor Xtreme) they will point you to a $3000 course that barely covers the topic. So I signed up for a Developing for the Web course. They didn't have enough instructors for their web-video class (think Udemy $10 course btw) and I was provided someone that is not an expert in the topic. When I asked that guy questions during the course he got back to me the next day with an answer that he couldn't elaborate on when I had follow up questions. There were show stopping bugs during the workshop that I wasted 4 or 5 hours on before the guy told me the next day, "oh we know about that one, you have to do ...". Great, thanks for giving me a heads up in advance. In fact, there were many bugs that I learned about that need workarounds. Now that I have received an official certification, you'd think you'd be able to get some help now right? No, I get referred to my business partner. My original business partner charged $175 / hr and couldn't answer my coding questions appropriately. So get this, I spend $3000 on a course, then when I need help I get pointed to a business partner that charges $175/hr and doesn't have the knowledge to answer my questions. As to dealing with Infor and your business partners. I use the plural, partners, because I've had the (dis)pleasure of needing to swap out business partners because in all honesty, one person cannot know and understand the entirety of this system that has had multiple homes with various development companies. We've been paying Infor for their system for 8 months. We've spent tens of thousands on development already and we had to scrap everything from our first business partner and now we have to start over.

We have realized zero benefits after 8 months of work.
