Infor CloudSuite PLM for Process (Optiva) Reviews

I like how my employees can adjust their own time cards if they miss a punch so I spend less time doing so when approval day comes around.

I do not like how management has to wait until AFTER a vacation day to input the vacation pay code.

Time cards

Its important to plan to avoid clutter. It is frustrating for management when vacation days need to be inputted after the fact. There are an errors there but the system works well.

The lack of a user interface and the need for planning when dealing with custom items make removing them later cumbersome and cluttering up the system.

I really like that it offers a range of capabilities although it can be a bit complex at times. Its definitely worth investing time to learn how to use this tool. The only thing I think could be improved is the user interface, which could have a design.. Overall its a tool. Initially creating filters might pose some challenges.
