"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."
"It's simple to use. You don't need any complex training to use it."
"The user interface and user experience were good."
"M3 has several useful features for managing supply chains, production, and customer orders. It's an excellent system that helps me meet all my requirements for fixed costs."
"NAV covers everything from purchasing and selling items to invoicing. Everything is within NAV, so it's all very neat."
"We are getting more features after switching to Microsoft 365."
"The solution can scale."
"The initial setup is easy - because it stands on Microsoft offerings, it's simple and intuitive to use."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is using the Excel sheets on Chrome and other applications."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central are the dashboards, ease of use, and flexibility."
"The security feature, particularly the encryption, which still builds sensitivity, is one of the most valuable features."
"Microsoft products are very good in general. This product is flexible, easy to use, intuitive, and has good capabilities."

"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."

"The solution is stable but not agile."
"We can't make modifications to fit the client's requirements."
"The implementation could be simplified, it's complex."
"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."
"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 initial setup of the solution was quite complex and the troubleshooting involved with that needs to be improved."

"There is a book for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central explaining how to use it. But it is not easy to use, and it is not easy to learn."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has been buggy in my experience and they should improve in this area. Additionally, there are too many updates. The updates involve a whole bunch of applications as part of the package, such as the Edge browser. The updates are too broad across the whole package of applications."
"Since it's complex for a layperson user to understand the solution, it would be better if the solution provided some training resources."
"In the next release, I would like to see a quality check module - Navision doesn't have one, and the industry very much requires it."
"The solution can improve by having better integration with Microsoft PowerBI and reporting."
