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.

Reliability and support ensure secure financial messaging over decades
The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability. For a bank, reliability is the most critical aspect. We also appreciate the extensive support facilities available worldwide. SWIFTnet FIN's services provide us with reliable connections to entities like European Central Bank, and we plan to join CLS as a direct member through SWIFTnet FIN. The store and forward feature, along with real-time messaging services, are crucial for our operations. Their security measures and compliance with CSP program ensure the highest safety standards. Audits and assessments by companies like KPMG and Ernst & Young further validate SWIFTnet FIN's reliability.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When you buy an Infor ION product, you can start using it from day one, and there is a very short learning curve."
"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."
"Its stability is commendable, as I rarely encounter bugs or problems."
"The tool's most valuable feature is middleware capabilities."
"ION is good for building custom middleware boxes."
"ION acts as a middleware that allows me to handle all the volumes of incoming and outgoing documents with partners."
"We haven't had any issues with ION so far."
"It provides the ability to interact with financial institutions and apply the same rules."
"The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability."
"Their technical support is very professional."
 

Cons

"ION's integration with older applications could be better."
"The main issue for me is that the current product is obsolete, and I need to migrate to Infor 10 for more features. Accessing the interface and monitoring aspects is problematic, and I hope it improves in the new version."
"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."
"Each product has its disadvantages; for Infor ION, reporting is the biggest downside. The standard reports available are not particularly impressive."
"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."
"I would like for them to work in real-time."
"While SWIFTnet FIN is a robust system, there is room for minor improvements in scalability and installation complexity."
