"The most valuable feature of Infor M3 is the level of detail it has about the different manufacturing processes compared to other ERP solutions. Other ERP solutions provide the same level of integration as Infor M3, but Infor M3 specializes in several functions, such as planning and manufacturing.""Infor M3 has tailor-made packages for each and every industry.""It's simple to use. You don't need any complex training to use it.""The product's initial setup phase is easy.""Its ease of use is most valuable. Inquiries are transparent, and it shows good information on each screen. We don't have to go to 14 different screens to find out about one item, which is a big advantage.""The most valuable feature is the ability to cover different types of activities, and the requirement for maintenance and data is very low.""provides all modules, supply chain, HR - it's good for management.""It's very stable, and it handles all types of industrial and manufacturing businesses in very good ways.

More Infor M3 Pros →

More JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Pros →

Cons
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10.""The tool should provide a better user interface.""There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving.""There are some glitches in Epicor ERP.""In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing.""Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story.""I would like to see a better reporting tool.""Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."

More Epicor ERP Cons →

"The solution must provide more learning documents.""An area for improvement in Infor M3 is training. There should be more training resources available for clients. Clients also find it challenging to get consultants or integrators for Infor M3. The product doesn't have enough resources in the market to help clients.""The solution is stable but not agile.""The product's technical support has certain shortcomings. Sometimes, my company doesn't get a proper response from their end.""Sometimes, M3 alone cannot handle all the planning functionalities required by a customer. It has to be used along with industry-specific planning tools because M3 doesn't have all the features. However, no product can handle all the requirements of all the industries. There will be some shortcomings in all the products. Though this is an area for improvement, it is not a very serious shortfall or limitation. It can be covered by using third-party planning applications that integrate with Infor M3.""The implementation could be simplified, it's complex.""I would like to have some kind of dashboard to show an overview of different data on the same dashboard or on the same screen instead of moving to BI.""Its initial setup was probably complex, but it is a very good system."

More Infor M3 Cons →

"Lacking in certain areas of support.""We originally used EnterpriseOne for preventative maintenance, but it is not very good at that so we migrated to Maximo for that task.""Something that could be included is a supply chain management system. That's what we're looking for.""From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs.""I haven't come across any downsides just yet.""Treasury management is typically used in forex, loans, trade management and property management is not available. The solution could improve if they added them.""The licensing is expensive compared to other solutions on the market.""I would like the user experience to be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
  • "When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
  • "We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
  • "The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
  • "Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
  • More Epicor ERP Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is a yearly licensing cost. The price is based on the modules you need. There are several modules, such as HR module, accounting module, sales module, scheduling module, etc., and the price will vary depending on the number of modules you choose. The customers always say that it's very expensive. It can cost a lot of money if your organization is huge. It's not implemented in a lot of organizations in my country because it's too expensive."
  • "Infor M3 is a tier-two product and is cheaper than tier-one products such as SAP and Oracle. However, it is more expensive than some other tier-two products. The licensing cost is dependent on the number of users. Also, if you purchase other tools from Infor as a package, then there may be other discounts offered."
  • "The cost is between $50 and $100 per user annually."
  • "I'm not part of the team that manages Infor M3 pricing, but it depends on the client, integration, ship-out, and training levels. You get the price from the solution provider, but it would be best to discuss it because nothing is set in stone regarding pricing."
  • "If you compare Infor M3 to SAP, Infor M3 is less expensive than SAP, but if you compare Infor M3 to Dynamics 365, Infor M3 is more expensive. It also depends on the model that you buy. It depends on whether you have the complete package or whether you have separate models."
  • "The tool’s licensing is yearly."
  • More Infor M3 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
  • "The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
  • "The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
  • "There is an annual license for this solution."
  • "It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
  • "The solution is really expensive."
  • "The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
  • "In terms of price, it is not on the high end."

    Reviews from Real Users

    JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ability to model, ease of use, customization capabilities, and being able to create reports without coding.

    According to PeerSpot user Raymond R., JD Edwards functional consultant manufacturer at Ordina, “The strongest functionality of JD Edwards is the ability to model, in the production that it is, model the production process. If I were to model the bill of materials and production routing, then that's one of the strongest parts of JD Edwards.”

    Khalid J., Senior Manager - Group ICT at Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill Co. B. S. C., says, "We find the ease of use, customization, and user interface valuable."

    In addition, a Project Leader at a tech services company expresses, "With the new versions, it has become very user-friendly. We have integration with mobiles, and we have cloud-based solutions. There are a lot of things that can be done by front-end users without technical knowledge. They can create reports without having to do any coding, and it's very good now."
