THey are rather different, but whilst BlackLine is able to be connected with many things - M3 is not on that side of the road.
Compared to BlackLine, m3 is a bit more robust I must admit - however, nowadays this can not be an excuse for lack of flexibility.

Infor CloudSuite is much easier in my opinion to understand and get up and running. All ERPs are complex... but Infor was less complex than SAP. Infor had prebuilt processes for our industry that we could start with and then tweak and adjust further for our specific needs. …

We only had Lawson initially because it was "what we had always used". Closer to when I left the company we began looking for alternatives and ultimately engaged Oracle to switch to the Oracle ERP Cloud. We needed something that had better API integration and ease of use, and …

We have used Lawson for over15 years. I'm not sure what products were reviewed when Lawson was implemented. We migrated from AS/400 to Lawson for most of our product verticals/geographies. Lawson is easier to use compared with other ERPs, perhaps due to the fact it has been …

I was not here for when Adage was introduced but I can say having had experience with Oracle I can say that it can hold its own. When it gets down to, Adage is easier and cheaper to maintain then other ERP's. It can do the same tasks other ERP's can do and does them well.

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

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.

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.

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.
