"The solution is stable but not agile."
"Its initial setup was probably complex, but it is a very good system."
"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 solution's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement, especially the support for the product named M3 rather than the support offered by Infor as an organization."

"Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."
"From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's stability could be improved as they have a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."
