"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is highly customizable."
"Infor M3 has tailor-made packages for each and every industry."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Infor GL tool that allows us to do our application support and development."
"Its ease of use is most valuable. Inquiries are transparent, and it shows good information on each screen. We don't have to go to 14 different screens to find out about one item, which is a big advantage."
"The most valuable feature of Infor M3 is the level of detail it has about the different manufacturing processes compared to other ERP solutions. Other ERP solutions provide the same level of integration as Infor M3, but Infor M3 specializes in several functions, such as planning and manufacturing."
"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."
"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."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product."
"Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"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 product's technical support has certain shortcomings. Sometimes, my company doesn't get a proper response from their end."
"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."
"The implementation could be simplified, it's complex."
"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."
"The solution must provide more learning documents."
"Its initial setup was probably complex, but it is a very good system."
"We can't make modifications to fit the client's requirements."
