UD
Vice President, Delivery at Independent Computer Consulting Group, Incorporated
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

"It has improved the way our organization functions by keeping things in order."
"It's very stable, and it handles all types of industrial and manufacturing businesses in very good ways. I've found it to be easy."
"Its ease of use is most valuable; inquiries are transparent, and it shows good information on each screen so we don't have to go to 14 different screens to find out about one item, which is a big advantage."
"The user interface and user experience were good."
"Infor comes up with different tools every year, and they are all compatible with Infor M3, which makes it a more reliable and trustworthy tool. The integration is very smooth."
"The solution provides all modules, supply chain, HR - it's good for management."
"It's simple to use. You don't need any complex training to use it."
"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."
"EnterpriseOne is stable and can be customized according to customer requirements."
"The product has been stable so far."
"A stable and solid product."
"The solution is very customizable according to business needs."
"Everything's under one umbrella and so that's why we're going to JD Edwards; it's just incredible for efficiency."
"JD Edwards is a configurable software solution; they provide you with the ability to be able to configure the software so that you can run your business in the manner that you choose."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is the flashback it quickly takes you to the data browser. Additionally, one of the newer tools is the orchestrator which is very good."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is very scalable. It is suitable for any business size, from retail to manufacturing, and can grow with any business."
 

Cons

"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. I would like to have one system handing all organizations or all the business in deep ways and not have to buy additional features."
"Customer support from Infor is responsive and addresses issues, but the response time can be delayed, which sometimes leads me to explore private vendors."
"The product's technical support has certain shortcomings. Sometimes, my company doesn't get a proper response from their end."
"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."
"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."
"From a technology perspective, this is an old solution making it harder to integrate and maintain."
"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."
"EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved."
"The licensing is expensive compared to other solutions on the market."
"We need improved dashboards."
"It's got a steep learning curve."
"The solution could be easier to implement."
"The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off."
"The only issue I see is Oracle's lack of focus on the product. When the sales team calls us, they try to promote OCI more than JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. They don't even talk about it. I feel there's no focus from Oracle Corporation themselves. The salespeople either don't know about it or don't talk about it. When they have something new, they only talk about EBS or OCI. This gives a feeling that there's no interest from Oracle. We don't see much new functionality being released or announced in the roadmap."
"Customer / Supplier Relationship."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 cost is between $50 and $100 per user annually."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
