Other ERP solutions provide the same level of integration as Infor M3, but Infor M3 specializes in several functions, such as planning and manufacturing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Infor GL tool that allows us to do our application support and development."

"It's useful for users and it's simple to work with."
"It's very powerful and very complete."
"It's user-friendly and comes with comprehensive manuals. So, it is easy to learn to use SAP Business One"
"We bought all licenses for the whole package in the very beginning, and now we're just paying for 404 licensed maintenance. It's a standard fee. Of course, we still pay partners for implementation."
"It's simple to use and very direct."
"It is quite simple, and it is suitable for medium and small businesses."
"SAP Business One consolidates various functions, including production, sales, inventory, and purchase management."
"Business One's best feature is transport management and collections."
"It would be great if Infor added some new workflows in the finance module. I'd also like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"The product's technical support has certain shortcomings. Sometimes, my company doesn't get a proper response from their end."
"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."
"We can't make modifications to fit the client's requirements."
"The implementation could be simplified, it's complex."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is stable but not agile."
"Our company is expanding to different countries, and business is growing. We feel that it is not good enough for the huge volume of the business. On-premises setup is not good enough for the overseas office. We have our onsite premises in Hong Kong, but we have a major sales office in the US. We are looking for a more efficient setup to fulfill our requirements and needs. It can have portals for vendors, suppliers, and customers. I know that they have this feature in version 10, but it still has space to improve."
"The extension of dashboards into mobiles is something which SAP Business One has to improve on."
"More support can be provided on the web client end."
"SAP could improve the performance of the business alignment with other products."
"The solution could improve by providing HR payroll, quality control, and maintenance. These are the missing features which we have to use add-ons solutions to provide the functionality."
"There are possibilities to extend its functionality. Things such as Quality Management System (QMS) and Payroll are currently not a part of the product. These things are needed."
"The installation process could be easier. They should have better tools to improve the effectiveness of the installation."
"There are a lot of good improvements coming out in every version. They release a new version every quarter, with all new up-and-coming things on each one. However, it might be lacking specifications for the specific verticals. However, SAP Business One is a generic tool. It's very widely used, and I understand why it's not into each vertical. There are solution partners available out there to give it those extra areas of what it needs, but this is depending on what kind of business you run."
