Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine)

Pros

• Advanced planning and scheduling is built in, with finite and infinite scheduling and what-if simulation, so APS does not need to be bought separately.
• Costing methods (actual, standard, FIFO, LIFO, lot-specific) connect shop-floor activity directly to the general ledger.
• Customers can choose between the cloud and on-premises editions, and one reviewer found it easier to customise than SAP.
• Long-term users describe it as a stable system, and one reviewer has run it for 19 years.
• It covers multiple entities and intercompany trade, with deployments in more than 100 countries and 17 languages.

Cons

• No public pricing, and third-party estimates put implementation at £80,000 to £400,000 or more.
• Reviewers repeatedly call the interface dated and clunky compared with newer cloud ERPs.
• Setup takes a long time, and reviewers report a steep learning curve for administrators.
• Moving from on-premises SyteLine to the cloud through Infor Leap can be a services-heavy project.
• It is broad manufacturing ERP, which is more than firms that only need accounting require.

Tiime

Pros

• Invoicing is free on every tier, with no limit on the number of quotes and invoices, plus e-invoicing through Tiime's registered platform.
• The business's accountant can see its data for free, and around 2,000 accounting firms are reported as partners.
• Bank sync categorises transactions automatically, and receipts can be captured by phone, which cuts pre-accounting work.
• Paid plans come with a 60-day trial, and the entry plan costs 9.99 euros a month.
• Users rate it highly, with about 4.8 out of 5 on Google and Trustpilot.

Cons

• Tiime only does pre-accounting. The full ledger and the tax return package are left to an accountant using Tiime's separate production tool.
• The business account cannot send transfers outside the euro zone and offers no overdraft.
• Reviewers say modules cannot be bought on their own, and the free plan is fairly limited for running a business.
• Users have reported occasional bugs, including after one update on Mac.
• It is aimed at the French market and at companies with up to 20 employees. Larger firms must request a quote.
