User-friendly interface has enabled intuitive operations while customization of reports needs polishing
Each product has its disadvantages; for Infor ION, reporting is the biggest downside. The standard reports available are not particularly impressive. When users click for a report, they expect it to be visually appealing, which is not the case, especially with Infor M3. From a technical standpoint, comparing Infor ION to SAP and Oracle, SAP HANA appears much better currently. However, this depends on the application level or the customization that vendors provide. The UX or UI component is crucial, which is why multiple small organizations focus specifically on UX/UI development. They develop visually appealing reports that can be used in Excel or Outlook. Some customers even create orders from Outlook. The implementation quality ultimately depends on the expertise of the person implementing that particular functionality.
