Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Infor M3 has tailor-made packages for each and every industry."
"It's simple to use. You don't need any complex training to use it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to cover different types of activities, and the requirement for maintenance and data is very low."
"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."
"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 product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Infor GL tool that allows us to do our application support and development."
"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."
"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. "
"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."
"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"It is strong in integration."
"We can't make modifications to fit the client's requirements."
"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."
"It should be improved in terms of procurement of the supply chain and business intelligence analysis. We have the Infor BI tool, but it's more complex to use than, for example, Power Pivot or QlikView in the market."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The implementation could be simplified, it's complex."
"Its initial setup was probably complex, but it is a very good system."
"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
"The issue we're encountering is that it's primarily designed for independent installations and not initially structured as a cloud-based solution, which has led to challenges with connectivity."
"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
