Umesh D

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.

Achmad Dimyati

IT Service Management Team Lead at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Long-term adaptation and evolution meets changing technology trends

SAP ERP is not really real-time. We use the HANA database which is supposed to be memory data in memory, but we are still not very happy. It is supposed to be real-time and come very quickly, but in reality, it still takes time to run. That is why we use BW of SAP, Business Objects, and now we have moved to the Analytic Cloud where we start using predictive AI. SAP recently implemented Databricks, and they started investing significantly in the analytic environment. SAP ERP has been left behind as they moved to S/4HANA with the HANA database. They restructured the whole table structure of SAP ERP, introduced simple finance, simple logistics, and moved HR to SuccessFactors. They have the BTP layer where they manage everything from integration to master data management. The challenge with SAP is that they move very fast to different products and buy different products. It requires significant investment and many skills to catch up because all of these have different sets of technology. The fundamental has changed differently. It is not monolithic anymore but different products under one name, SAP. You have to buy it model by model for additional models. Products such as SuccessFactors, Ariba for procure to pay, Concur for travel, and Facility Management use totally different technology. They try to integrate with each other, but it remains a challenge for SAP to make them have the same management, technology, and operational approach.

Quotes from Members

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

More SAP ERP pros

Cons

"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."

"The implementation could be simplified, it's complex."

"The product's technical support has certain shortcomings. Sometimes, my company doesn't get a proper response from their end."

"An area for improvement in Infor M3 is training. There should be more training resources available for clients. Clients also find it challenging to get consultants or integrators for Infor M3. The product doesn't have enough resources in the market to help clients."

"Improvements could be made in security and scalability."

"I would like to have some kind of dashboard to show an overview of different data on the same dashboard or on the same screen instead of moving to BI."

"The implementation could be simplified, it's complex."

More Infor M3 cons

"Forms customization should be easier. Currently, it has to go through the development life cycle."

"EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved."

"The flexibility of workflows and multi-industry implementation support should be improved."

"From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs."

"The software is highly modular and thereby exposes the risk of different implementation choices for each module."

"The way of creating daily reports could be made a little bit easier."

"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."

More JD Edwards EnterpriseOne cons

"The licensing costs are far too high on this one."

"SAP is always costlier than other products so I'd like to see the pricing improved for preferred customers."

"SAP ERP could improve by having better integration with other platforms."

"The version that we are using lacks in reporting. The reporting feature needs to be constructed more in this product. There can be better scope for mobility. They could include the technical development of reports instead of depending completely on programming. The programming method needs to be easy."

"Their support should be improved. Instead of giving a general solution, their consultants should first try to understand the problem and then resolve the same."

"Technical support is an area that is in need of improvement."

"The UI could use improvement."

"The solution's UI could be better."

More SAP ERP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s licensing is yearly."

"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."

"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 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 pricing is very high. Even though the license is perpetual yet you have to get the maintenance. Since we pay using Pesos, it's very expensive."

"There is an annual license for this solution."

"It's very competitively priced. The only problem now is that most of the industry is moving towards software as a service or a subscription model, whereas JD Edwards has a capital expenditure. You would spend on the licenses once off. You can either host it on-premise or in the cloud, but there is a licensing fee once a year."

"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."

"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."

"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."

"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."

"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."

More JD Edwards EnterpriseOne pricing and cost advice

"SAP ERP is expensive."

"There is a license needed to use this solution."

"The solution has moved from a licensing model to a rights-based, subscription model in the cloud."

"I rate SAP ERP's pricing a six or seven out of ten."

"The price of SAP ERP is high, but it is worth the money. The maintenance and support can be expensive. There should be a different price model for businesses that are not as large to be able to afford it."

"SAP ERP is an expensive tool."

"Some components are available at an additional cost, depending on the type of contract that you have."

"Licensing can vary, but for educational institutions, there are often favorable conditions."

If I were to model the bill of materials and production routing, then that's one of the strongest parts of JD Edwards.”
