Implementing LS-NAV always went smooth. The latest developments are a real addition to LS-NAV.
The ease of use makes the difference!
Pros
It has a lot to offer out-of-the box and on top of that it is really easy to customize for that demanding customer. The help that is available from LS (academy, consultancy, help-desk) was a bit unknown to me, but since we got in contact it is that "+1" for me.
Cons
It can be a bit overwhelming for first-time users, but also for junior consultants. But at the same time it is easy to learn.

3. Uses Microsoft AZURE & Cloud
4. Rich features with integrated ERP
5. Best fit for mid and small retailers and quick setups to go live
6. Good replication tool
7. etc. etc. i have a massive list to go
Cons
1. NOT User friendly on POS configurations, too many complicated setups involved behind scenes
2. NOT easy to install and deploy
3. Hard for low end retailers to maintain and manage
4. Lack of training materials in latest versions.
5. Lack of integration to other channel platforms.

LS Retail for Supermarkets
Pros
I do not know of any product that comes close to LS Retail when it comes to super/hyper markets. It can be setup as online or offline cash registers. Synchronization with HQ is extensive. Promotions and offers are extensive. User interface is fully customizable. It's an end-to-end solution that works on top of Microsoft Dynamics NAV which makes everything seamless. No interfaces or integration with the problems that come with them are needed.
Cons
Support resources are scarce and hardware requirements are high if you are planning for an on-premise setup

LS Retail is like a doctor of Retail business which has the solution of all your business problems.
LS connectivity with Navision is beauty of it as data replication is just a simple configuration.

LS Retail should arrange the training on quarterly basis to explain the new features. Training can definitely help the LS Retail partners to increase their knowledge in shorter time

LS Retail is a one stop solution for Retail POS
Pros
Ease of Use and functionality available on POS. It captures all the essential features required be it related to Replenishment, Loyalty and Member Management, Gift Card, Credit Note on Sales Return
Cons
The discount feature is not robust. It does not offer much usage flexibility and becomes a bottleneck in the current dynamic environment when both brick & mortar establishments with e-Commerce are moving in ahead jointly in such volatile and cut throat retail industry business. The LS offerings in discount is highly lacking in terms of support and are incapable to handle multiple and diverse discount feature processes required in todays time to retain loyal members of different retail brand.

I think if the UI is configured properly this is a great software. It is feature rich.
Pros
It is so big that users are easily confused and need more training than typical POS'.
The average POS user barely knows how to make a sale and need more time and knowledge to understand what they are doing and how it affects sales.
Cons
I like the breadth of products and how it fits into the ERP. I see know Cons from a management point of view.

THE REAL END-TO-END SOLUTION
We are a partner of LS Retail and somewhat not satisfied with the support they are extending to partners like us.
Pros
With LS Retail, you won't have to worry maintaining several systems for your retail, inventory and financial management needs. It's an all-in-one solution for your retail and accounting needs.
Cons
Data director. gives us a lot of headaches. While this is the strength of the system, the issues, bugs and other related concerns attached to it is also its lowest point and dragging the overall performance of the system in the market with large-sized industries. And support sucks also when it comes to questions on data director.
