"I have found the most valuable feature to be the ability to monitor integration performance and the reasons for the failure of inbound and outbound transactions. We can see both inbound and outbound transactions, and it gives us a mirror image or the whole history of all inbound and outbound transactions between Infor M3 Business Engine and the third parties."
"The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."
"The tool requires you to write a lot of code in Java and XSLT, which makes development tough."

"API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy."

"The dashboard is not very simple and can be a bit tricky."
"I would like to see ION add automated setup and integration with Salesforce. They need to work on these types of tools."
"Infor ION doesn't provide connectors for all integration touchpoints. Sometimes, we may have to build our own. It incurs additional costs for the customer."
