"Utility Company uses Infor which serves our needs"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Infor CloudSuites (M3)?

It maintains our chart of accounts and satisfies our needs when it comes to reporting and analysis of expense data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Infor CloudSuites (M3)?

It is not very easy to use and not very user friendly. The screens to print something are too many and not intuitive. Entering a JE is also not easy to do in Infor, and I only use an upload template in Excel using Add-ins. You cannot conduct in depth expense analysis in Infor, it needs to be done in excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Infor CloudSuites (M3):

Look to see if it satisfies your needs, in term of cost, but in my opinion Infor is not a market leader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Infor CloudSuites (M3) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maintaining our chart of accounts and our General Ledger. One system to see our accounting vs using Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company uses Infor ERP for all of our business transactions. From customer service, purchasing, manufacturing, warehouse, accounting, etc. Infor ERP is crucial to all aspects of our order to cash cycle. There is great transparency within the system when it is being fully utilized by all departments. The issues come when people want to do too much outside of the system and do not update the system accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile with lots of depth, can take getting used to"

4/5

What do you like best about Infor CloudSuites (M3)?

The 'card layout' for building estimates of equipment is very useful, letting us immediately see the structure to a complex system and swap parts and services in and out easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Infor CloudSuites (M3)?

The default reports within the system did not meet our needs, and customer reports were required. Manipulation of the manufacturing cards is fairly straightforward, but it will take trial and error / practice to learn the rules of when you can and can't copy/paste, or when the info you need does or does not copy over, etc. The pricing within the parts database is not updated realtime when building up a new estimate in the manufacturing window, so this must be done manually. However, this can lead to mistakes if the 'cost reset' is done after manual manipulation of certain parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Infor CloudSuites (M3):

A well-organized implementation team is recommended that will discuss and document all needed items for the implementation. Extensive testing / trial is required before going live. Continued internal support is required after implementation to work out any issues that come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Infor CloudSuites (M3) solving and how is that benefiting you?

More streamlined cost estimating for full systems, more detailed cost breakdowns for systems, better historical records and searching of those records, better parts maintenance, easier to utilize past estimates for new projects, easier to move estimates in to orders, easier to generate parts lists, and to issue parts orders.

"ERP Management systems"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Infor CloudSuites (M3)?

Visual is an amazing tool. I've used several ERP systems, and this one is by far the best. Once everything is integrated, it makes inventory management a breeze. Everything from checking to make sure all the parts and materials are on hand to creating masters to manage work orders can be done in a matter of seconds. It truly is a wonderful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Infor CloudSuites (M3)?

The interface is almost purely text-based with no ability to add graphics or shortcuts. That makes the user and training curve a lot longer, especially for the under-30 crowd that might have never used a text-based data entry or programming system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Infor CloudSuites (M3):

Learn it, put systems in place to ensure that the information is accurate. If you don't, it's garbage in, garbage out, but it is great at data organization and validation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Infor CloudSuites (M3) solving and how is that benefiting you?

It runs our entire ERP system across multiple divisions for a company with over 11 branches and 1k employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
