### "Nice erp system, but requires a lot of knowlegde"

February 6, 2019

4.0

I'm a daily user of Infor ERP as an administrator. I provide people access to infor by creating users, assigning roles etc. This is a pretty straightforward process. Might seem complex at the beginning.

Pros

This ERP software has a lot of capabilities, you can develop multiple environments (production, acceptance, test, ...). Create users for giving access, giving them specific access rights to open specific applications, etc. Also ways to import bulk information.

Cons

It can very complex, because it's a very big environment with alot of capabilities.

### "High rated ERP Software for the manufacturing industry"

December 26, 2024

5.0

We used this software for one of our client for their supply chain management and purchase order management, and its works very smoothly and process has been optimized by few work hours by using this ERP. this was the first instance when we go live within a week, so kudos to their team and also support was very good. they are guiding us wherever we stuck in the process and we have almost recieved return on experience by using this software for our client

Pros

This is the best ERP software for manufacturing industry with some of the top notch functionalities to serve in a better way, i like the customer purchase order management feature, which i think the best feature in this software also the implementation within very much less time.

Cons

User interface is still looks very old and even in the updated versions also due to the old UI, features are not look promising. UI need be corrected

### "Niche Rental Application"

July 31, 2020

3.0

Allows for high volume of transactions and equipment movement throughout our over 30 locations. Could use more documentation on what is and is not supported functionality in certain programs. It is a fairly large ERP system, so this would be tough with all the new features being added.

Pros

It has many more features than we currently use, that we can grow into.

Cons

We are an unusual rental operation and initially it didn't have all the functionality that we required, so our 3rd party implementer made modifications to our base code, so when infor came out with the similar feature, we could not move to it. There are some feature fixes that can not be retrofit into our release.

Reason for choosing Infor M3

Advertised current and future functionality

### "Incredibly powerful and sophisticated"

June 4, 2020

4.0

We moved off of an in-house application to M3. Once integrated with our existing systems and processes, we are able to better track and use our product data.

Pros

We are running the 13.4 on premise version of M3. M3 is able to be configured to about any business process. The ability to run multiple lines of businesses with different business processes is tremendous. The product isn't intuitive but it easy to use once it is set up properly. The implementation of the product is a process that needs to be carefully thought out and executed. Infor and their business partners are a huge help in that.

Cons

Because the software is so customizable, it is extremely complex. This can cause problems if the person configuring it does not understand all of the processes and how they work. Transitioning from an in-house product to packaged software is always challenging but Infor was helpful in the process.

August 29, 2020

5.0

Factory management improved, production planning and material purchases were improved a lot by the use of .

Pros

It's very customizable to meet your needs without loosing any performance. Infor OS makes it even more easy to use and more intuitive, alerts for tasks that you need to do are just great.

Cons

Configuration and deployment is not that easy, a lot of consultant was needed to deploy the application or even to update it.

### "Superb ERP for Industrial Manufacturing"

September 20, 2019

4.0

We're using , together with some 3rd party applications fully integrated to run our daily business on 40 factories across 11 countries all over the world.

Pros

It's easy to use, doesn't need much customization. Good support both from consultants and web portal. Very good documentation available, lots of details on the setup.

Cons

Not easy to customize if you have that need. Development it's also quite expensive. Infor should improve this in order to make this ERP perfect.

### "Must be heavy on the dev side."

September 24, 2018

3.0

Pros

The ability to customize your experience is almost limitless assuming you have the resources on the dev side to do so.

Cons

In order to make the system work for our business, it requires full time staff and constant work arounds. Not ideal for a business tool.

### "Infor M3"

December 5, 2019

5.0

All operations of the company are managed through this software. This is very useful and easier to work with

Pros

The best ERP system that I've used so far. Every thing is so neat and tidy, and once learnt, this is the easiest system to work with. Has a very user-friendly interface and has the ability to change the appearance with a limited selection.

Cons

There's nothing that I dislike about this software. I enjoy using this software application at the moment.

### "20 years of experience"

December 17, 2019

5.0

the biggest problem is when working with users, but after implementing the solution, users cannot imagine any other solution. The profit from implementation is always the improvement in the organization of work and hence the costs.

Pros

Flexibility to match the real image, easy to configure.

Cons

sometimes implementation time drags on for objective reasons.

Reason for choosing Infor M3

software price and flexibility in matching production and the supply chain

### "Best ERP I'm been using as an IT admin "

March 13, 2026

4.0

Well structured ERP with a lot of extra tooling nicely integrated into the LCM. Easy updating using fix packages with clear indication on applied solutions.

Pros

The nice LCM management tools as an admin. Both the installation as an MSI of H5 browser based operation.

Cons

Consultancy is expensive ;-) Following up on bugs/fixes can take a lot of time. You need experienced team-leads to do troubleshooting.

### "Infor M3 Evaluation"

November 10, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with has been great. I like how it can be integrated within other sites as needed and also has a lot of functionality within the software itself that can be utilized. I have found the analytical tools this software has to offer are more advanced than other platforms we have used in the past.

Pros

is a super easy, convenient software to use. Within our workplace we have customized our home page and dashboards to specifically meet our industry’s needs. There are many functionalities it has to offer, for example, inventory and sales management tools. Lastly, it can also be integrated with other websites as needed.

Cons

I really don’t have any complaints about ’s offerings or functionality, but I have found the site can be lagging at times. I find implementing changes can take a while to complete and I have to refresh more than I should. For the amount this costs to maintain each year, it would be nice if this could be fixed.

### "More than I expected."

September 2, 2025

5.0

It is excellent because it not only fits my needs, but I was also able to manage all my tasks, balance my information, and track my stock and inventory. Everything was at my fingertips. I also appreciate that it is ever-evolving. And whenever I got stuck, I was able to speak to someone ready to assist me.

Pros

I like that it is very customer-friendly. I have used similar systems in the past and was worried that I would have a challenge navigating it, but this was not the case. This made me very happy, Money well spent.

Cons

There are some areas that need to be built out more to give more access to what you really want to accomplish.

### "More Access = Smile"

December 22, 2025

2.0

It's ok but I need more access. If you want a software to be good you have to be able to navigate important information and right now I can't do that.

Pros

Being able to copy an older PO that has similar information to a new one. I'm sure there is much more that it offers but I'm blocked from being able to use those options.

Cons

Everything I need is locked from me. It's not easy to look up old orders or find orders based off whom I ordered for.

February 4, 2025

5.0

Overall as of now I don't have trouble using the INFOR system, for me this i a work buddy that maximize my work output and meet deadlines, experiencing minor problems but can handle it immediately.

Pros

We are currently using INFOR in our office, so far using this system is very easy to understand and very work friendly. Details and functions are organized that new user will catch up easily.

Cons

Sometimes experiencing website errors, and personalization of tool bars and forms sometimes bit a tricky.

### "M3 a 100 miles an hour"

June 2, 2020

4.0

I have been solving a lot of different Business scenarios with the Suite provided, and since it also allows us to expand on functionality without Modifications, the necessity to modify the code is mostly not necessary. Despite this, sometime there are no alternatives, so it is highly appreciated that this option still exist though. Even coming into Cloud with M3 Extensibility instead of MAK and the ability to create your own Custom Api's, where we can even wrap existing Standard API to create functionality that would have been hard to accomplish by just calling the API's by themselves! Some of the solutions/enhancements I've been able to create using base M3 functionality and integrated tools are: - Integration with MES System - Web based QA Application integrating with M3 QMS through Standard API's and Events/MEC Processes - Automated US/Canadian Tax Rate updates through third party Tax Rate Tables (monthly subscription) - Enhancing Planning by calling Google Maps to estimate Transportation Times based on Driving Distance between our Warehouses and Customer Warehouse for better Planning capabilities This list can go on and on and I am still working on new ideas and solutions to improve processes and experience for our users. To conclude, I am an avid fan how the capabilities and also very active in the M3 User Community.

Pros

The M3 Product and the related Suite of Products are mostly very intuitive once you get to use it. People tend to get hesitant when initially introduced, but after having used M3 for a while, expanding into additional areas becomes fairly easy since it is consistent in the way everything looks, feels and behaves. There have been iterations of the side product (i.e. Mashups) that have been replaced without a fully viable replacement, but mostly there are only improvements that expand on current functionality or introduces new and exciting functionality (and sometimes even provided without any extra cost as part of your current licensing).

Cons

There is a lack of intuitive development documentation and especially when it comes to setting up your own development environment, it is sometimes quite cumbersome, although once you pass this hurdle it is, almost, always worth the effort.

### "Proven, mature ERP is getting modern UI at last"

April 18, 2019

5.0

I have worked with M3 for a number of organizations, and besides effectively managing the material plan and production schedule, it has also served well for the management of multiple business units which require monthly consolidation, multi-currency financial operations, and the complete life cycle of business processes.

Pros

M3 is a stable, robust, proven ERP system that fits a wide variety of industries well, handles international business requirements and has the flexibility to support both the front office and the back office. In recent years, this has been supplemented with a modern UI toolset, allowing for workflow design and management, along with browser-based homepages and widgets that present users with the information they need to act on, focusing on exceptional situations instead of repetitive, routine tasks.

Cons

The basic user interface for functional programs is still designed in the old AS400/RPG style, with a series of panels and a method of proceeding from panel to panel and program to program which can seem counter-intuitive to the user. Output management (for forms such as customer invoices or packing lists) has long been a weak spot but that is being addressed with new tools being developed. API's are available for many programs which allows for the development of custom user interfaces via Infor OS Homepages and Widgets, but there are significant gaps where API's have not been published.

### "Lot of flexibility and usefull functionalities"

September 28, 2020

5.0

user experience makes easier introduction of new hired colleagues. Flexibility in configuration helps to add new functionalities fast.

Pros

flexibility, easy of use and a lot of functionalities ready to use (that had to implement custom with other products)

Cons

I see mainly 2 points: 1. enterprise structure has got some lacks, do not manage structured sales organizations (it doesn't exist a concept like it, which is usefull when you have same customer managed in different sales organization within the same company which could have different price list, discounts, payment terms) 2. all accounting is inherited through order, in example when I post good receipt I need to have cost center in purchase order and I cannot change during good receipt. And also for sales, all accounting are inherited from order. Workaround exists, but it is still a limitation

### "Excellent Software Solution For Product Driven Businesses"

June 15, 2019

5.0

has been helpful with providing us overall better work flows and increased productivity in many areas. The Finance software has aided us in more efficient cash management and bank reconciliation too. The Supply Chain software has been a plus in and better control and utilization of our raw materials, replenishment planning, reduction in production time, and overall has increased the turnover of our inventory.

Pros

is a multifunctional ERP software suite of applications to help manage several different key areas of any company's performance. There is a lot to like about Infor M3. The Financial Management application provides better visibility into your General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable(as well as invoice aging), Expense Management Control(includes Travel Expense Reporting), and compliance to the company's T & E policies) and also includes helping to track Asset Depreciation expensing. The Human Capital portal includes good Human Resource functions, managing Payroll and Employee Benefits, and is also helpful in HR Recruiting of new employees. But I feel that the Supply Chain function is the real star of the Infor software(especially for product driven companies who need to track products by SKU from initial production sourcing all the way through sale to their customers.) The Supply Chain portal is also helpful in procurement of new suppliers as well as measuring the performance of your current vendors.

Cons

The initial implementation and learning all the functions and screens of is somewhat daunting and a bit cumbersome.

### "One of the best ERP system for industry companies"

June 20, 2019

4.0

allows you to control the whole manufacturing process of products, allows integration with other software through the amount of APIs available. The departments at this moment, that are sustained in Infor M3 are, financial, purchases, logistics, production, quality and maintenance all this process are 100% controlled by Infor M3, in a multi company environment.

Pros

Cover all most area in industrialization process, M3 provide a variety way of configuring each process. Covering almost all departments, except HR, allows A-Z control of the live cycle of process, especially in the supply chain issues. In this sector is probably the most capable ERP to respond to the different processes of each industry. It has this elasticity without having to make changes to the source code, this allowing an easy system update.

Cons

There is not yet a level of consultants acceptable in all ERP modules. However, it is a great bet of INFOR in the last 5 years, in which the offer has improved a lot.
