"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"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 the solution is that it is highly customizable."
"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."
"provides all modules, supply chain, HR - it's good for management."
"Infor M3 has tailor-made packages for each and every industry."

"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We can't make modifications to fit the client's requirements."
"The product's technical support has certain shortcomings. Sometimes, my company doesn't get a proper response from their end."
"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."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
