Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Acumatica

  • Pricing is not published; the vendor directs buyers to a pricing review or an industry calculator instead
  • Cost is driven by transaction volume, data storage and resource levels, so spend rises with business activity rather than staying fixed
  • Charged per application implemented, so adding a module changes the price

Infor CloudSuite

  • No price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published for CloudSuite; the site routes buyers to a sales contact form
  • Infor Velocity Suite is advertised as one flat fee but no amount is published
  • CloudSuite runs on Amazon Web Services only, with no other cloud or on premises option stated on the page
  • Functionality is packaged as industry specific CloudSuites rather than one general ERP product
