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.

AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes

The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's simple to use. You don't need any complex training to use it."

"Infor M3 has several valuable features, including customer order management and integration capabilities with third-party applications like ION."

"provides all modules, supply chain, HR - it's good for management."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is highly customizable."

"It's very stable, and it handles all types of industrial and manufacturing businesses in very good ways."

"It has improved the way our organization functions by keeping things in order."

"The user interface and user experience were good."

"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."

More Infor M3 pros

"The product is cloud-based and offers comprehensive, end-to-end functionality."

"It is easy and very convenient for clients to go to the front end and check whatever update they want to look at."

"It fosters adoption of a shared services center model."

More Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP pros

Cons

"The solution must provide more learning documents."

"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."

"We can't make modifications to fit the client's requirements."

"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 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."

"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."

"The solution is stable but not agile."

"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."

More Infor M3 cons

"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."

"The database is outdated and quite rigid."

"Their methodology of implementation is very rigid."

"The stability is not as good as Informatica, but this is very good."

"Oracle support for this application is not up to the standard."

"You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."

"The interface could be improved in future releases."

"There are two main areas for improvement. First, the licensing and pricing model confuses customers, especially after going live. Different components like EPM, ERP, and OIC are charged differently. Second, the manufacturing functionality needs more maturity, especially for non-process-based manufacturing. We've raised this with Oracle, and they've acknowledged it. They might address it in future patches."

More Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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 tool’s licensing is yearly."

"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 cost is between $50 and $100 per user annually."

"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."

"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is reasonable and recommended for medium-sized enterprises. It might be a bit expensive for smaller businesses, but it is a good product if they have sufficient users."

"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."

"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."

"The price of the solution is expensive. There are additional costs associated with this particular case that must be taken into consideration when calculating the overall expense. These costs may include but are not limited to, additional materials, labor, and other miscellaneous expenses that may arise during the course of the project. It is important to note that these additional costs may exceed the initial pricing estimate."

"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."

"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."

"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
