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.

Cons

"Customer support from Infor is responsive and addresses issues, but the response time can be delayed, which sometimes leads me to explore private vendors."

"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."

"Its initial setup was probably complex, but it is a very good system."

"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."

"Here in Infor M3, you have certain limitations where the main components cannot be modified—you must work around or use bolt-ons."

"From a technology perspective, this is an old solution making it harder to integrate and maintain."

"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."

More Infor M3 cons

"Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined."

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

"The tool is very expensive in Romania."

"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."

"Getting support from Oracle, especially related to this product, is a bit tough, very tough."

"Especially on the CRM side, the CRM modules are a bit weak compared to the financials."

"Technical support is good, however, sometimes we do need to wait for an answer."

"Technical support is not swift so should leverage their access level."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."

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

"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."

"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."

"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."

"The solution is quite expensive."

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

"It is too costly."
