Facilitates streamlined business processes and consolidation of divisions
The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs. It simplifies tracking by following every transaction in the system, allowing finance to see online each finance transaction from production orders, purchase orders, inventory, and project-wise. Infor LN helps consolidate divisions into one language, facilitating time and cost savings.

Maximized industry-specific process efficiency with rapid implementation
The best features of Infor M3 are the micro-vertical and industry ready-made solutions rather than generic solutions. They have ready-made solutions ready, so the implementation of the process discovery happens very fast. It won't take more than two months, and if the process is very simple and they adopt the standard, it may happen within five weeks, covering the implementation cycle which will finish within seven to eight months. Most of the time, it helps streamline business processes; maybe some processes such as unique subcontracting vary by continent or job work, which could be different due to legal compliance. Other than that, everything helps because the processes are very much streamlined. Everywhere you have a check and maker concept, there is a workflow, and all those things are there; document management is also very simple. You can drag and drop the reports. The workflow feature is very good and flexible, working with multi-level authorization and all those capabilities. Apart from that, the GUI interface screens are really good. Users can design their own workspace based on the roles, and there are roles-based security options, with many roles available that you need not define—you can just tweak them.

Has supported global operations through multi-currency and modular customization
Oracle's support is not that good for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Their support is expensive, and I don't think you're getting your bang for your buck. For the cloud product, they do give you support, but everything is online and you might not get somebody. I would give Oracle's support for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne about a 6.5 on a scale of one to 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Infor LN is highly stable."
"With multi-site support and advanced reporting, Infor LN services are the best."
"The most valuable features of Infor LN include its production planning capabilities, its efficiency in running in the cloud, and its ability to handle multi-site, multi-logistic, and multi-finance operations."
"Infor LN is very good at manufacturing modules for manufacturing industries."
"The solution has helped a lot in the sense of consolidation and in providing us with real-time information."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"The best feature of this solution is it comes as a complete bundle, with effective project, document, and application management, fantastic collaboration, strong integration, and the ability to be customized."
"Infor M3 has several valuable features, including customer order management and integration capabilities with third-party applications like ION."
"M3 has several useful features for managing supply chains, production, and customer orders. It's an excellent system that helps me meet all my requirements for fixed costs."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Infor GL tool that allows us to do our application support and development."
"It's simple to use. You don't need any complex training to use it."
"Infor M3 has tailor-made packages for each and every industry."
"Infor M3 has ready-made processes, which provide the best workflows."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is highly customizable."
"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 product has been stable so far."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple, with a very straightforward interface that allows end users, especially those with a finance background like me, to engage in finance areas such as vouchers, manual vouchers, email receipts, and GL analysis efficiently."
"The financial management features are convenient and helpful in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne."
"From an organizational perspective, it obvious that the ease-of-use and ease-of-maintenance aspects of JD Edwards provides us with greater efficiency and, ultimately, cost savings."
"EnterpriseOne is stable and can be customized according to customer requirements."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is very scalable. It is suitable for any business size, from retail to manufacturing, and can grow with any business."
"When you're comparing JD Edwards to any other tool, look at the flexibility."

Cons

"The user interface needs improvement."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"While Infor LN incorporates the latest business processes and functions, there is always room for improvement as the business grows."
"From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution."
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem."
"Additionally, the price is challenging in the market."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"The solution is stable but not agile."
"Its initial setup was probably complex, but it is a very good system."
"It would be great if Infor added some new workflows in the finance module. I'd also like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"From a technology perspective, this is an old solution making it harder to integrate and maintain."
"Infor should create one product to handle the whole business. At present, they make ERP systems for each type of business, and then sell additional features."
"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."
"Here in Infor M3, you have certain limitations where the main components cannot be modified—you must work around or use bolt-ons."
"We can't make modifications to fit the client's requirements."
"We originally used EnterpriseOne for preventative maintenance, but it is not very good at that so we migrated to Maximo for that task."
"The implementation procedure could be simplified."
"Some modules are expensive and there is an annual software maintenance cost as well."
"The initial setup of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is straightforward. However, it could improve."
"The Fixed Asset module is not desirable because it is complicated."
"We had stability issues, but Oracle support resolved them."
"Localization features are critical for all regions. Improving these features in various countries and markets is essential to meet customer needs."
"This is one area that could be improved -- the features that can be changed to fit your own organization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"If you use Infor LN in Infor CloudSuite, there is a need to make an early payment for a license, which is approximately 2,500 EUR."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"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."
"The cost is between $50 and $100 per user annually."
"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."
"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."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"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."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has a lot of value for the money. The implementation cost and license cost are quite reasonable compared to other solutions, such as Oracle EBS or SAP."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
