    Infor
    We have had great success with inventory management and production planning/execution. Also, data and system integrity have been key to our overall solution satisfaction. We struggle when it comes to reporting and analytics. The base product leaves room for improvement as much of the core reporting is not easily configurable and lacks the ability to scale forcing us to build a reporting model outside the solution

    Unit4 is good for small and mid-level companies where they need a single platform to manage their functionality.

    Pros
    Infor
    • Very stable product. Some of its weaknesses are also its strengths. The lack of web services seems to actually increase stability.
    • No software vendor in this space is perfect. Lawson does perform as advertised.
    • Again, a weakness of this (limited functionality) is a hidden strength as well. In software there is a complexity/feature tradeoff. Where Lawson lacks in features, it does give you a more simple setup for your organization.

    • Since the software is built with your needs in mind, it can be tailored to your specific needs.
    • System security is also created with your specific needs in mind and can be extremely detailed for various roles within the organization.
    • The various modules integrate well, if thought through system processes when building.

    Cons
    Infor
    • Trying to locate forms that you haven't used before is not very user friendly
    • overall view and navigation is very old style and could use an update
    • Reports are built in and not very customizable, could also use an easy report reference guide.

    • Their layout and limited web capabilities are a turn-off
    • They lack basic functionality in their web [version]
    • The implementation phase is bumpy since their guides and process documents are not step by step and are usually confusing

    Other than the inherent pain of a new implementation, it's a great platform and Infor is a great partner to work with. Every system has problems, our are no worse than any other platform. Maybe even a little better, nothing to make us want to change platforms any time in the near future

    The overall support of Inform M3 is simply the best! There isn't a single flaw that I can detect or think of about this software! I can't possibly express the greatness of the availability and all of the possibilities achieved. The ease of use and a lot of functionalities such as flexibility [allows in] configuration to add new functionalities fast.

    One of the products I have used is an Oracle accounting product. I feel that Infor stands up well when comparing to the Oracle product especially for the accounting functions. In comparing it to Microsoft Dynamics I feel that Infor is easier to use in some accounting tasks. The one thing the Dynamics has going for it is the ease of use with other Microsoft Products.

    • we have a much better inventory tracking therefore able to meet the requirements coming fmor o2c
    • order handling is smoother since we have almost visual control over it
    • the different GAAPs can be included - like US. and locals (great for statutory reporting)

    • Our business processes were in flux when the initial build of our system was taking place - this made lives very difficult. Make sure processes are set!
    • Time - beyond what could have been imagined - this is a huge project, that needs proper resources assigned to it within a company when planning to install.
