"The most valuable feature is the ability to cover different types of activities, and the requirement for maintenance and data is very low."
"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."
"The user interface and user experience were good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Infor GL tool that allows us to do our application support and development."

"In terms of features, GP offers a wide range of strong capabilities, particularly in the financial module."
"Microsoft Dynamics is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is that it fulfills our requirements. We haven't had any issues with performance."
"The solution is stable but not agile."
"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'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."
"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 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."
"The product's technical support has certain shortcomings. Sometimes, my company doesn't get a proper response from their end."
"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."
"I sometimes put in wrong data that needs correction, but I cannot change it or approve it without withdrawing it. It will then take time for me to go back in and edit it."
"It could be more scalable and stable. It would also be better if the interface were more integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem because 2012 is not really integrated."
"There is no Arabic interface in Microsoft Business Central, which is a big weak point."
"If I had to add something in the next release, it would probably be a mobile application for a sister application of Dynamics 365; not the ERP but the Dynamics 365 HR solution. It would definitely help if we could have Microsoft or a Microsoft partner introduce a mobile application for it."
"There is room for improvement when handling various currencies within the current Microsoft Dynamics AX system."
"Change management could be better."
"AX does take some time and maintenance."
"From a consultant's point of view, I recommend an enhancement in terms of detailed documentation for the products on the website."
