The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

User-friendly with good connectivity for analytics

What differentiates Infor M3 from other similar products?
Compared to similar products, it was very easy to connect M3 Prod database to another GRC (Governance Risk Compliance) Analytics software using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) to automate the Duplicate Payments reporting using payment data from M3. Moreover, the user interface is very clean and easy to navigate around.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
1. Compared to other applications, it loads up quickly and does not require restarting the system 2. It has a relatively longer inactivity-log out period which saves you from the hassle of logging in multiple times when not using continuously 3. Features such as APS 200 and APS 205 make it easy to look up payments by vendor and invoice number respectively
What do you dislike most about this product?
1. Learning curve can be steep since it takes a few clicks and right-clicks to open the document 2. The document, i.e. invoice opens in image format page by page instead of PDF format with all pages in the same document 3. When access to a function is restricted to certain divisions of the organization, it may not be clear to the user since no “access denied” message pops up
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Besides the regular month-end close performed by Accounts Payable, Infor M3 software offers countless features and benefits when it comes to accounting processes. My former organization was able to use Infor M3 for payments related to procurement of services as it shows which invoices are outstanding and which have already been paid. When the organization filed for bankruptcy, I was able to use M3 to validate vendor claims relating to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy by reconciling and analyzing amounts from M3.
Pros
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
- Efficient Service

Easy to use and highly customizable.

What differentiates Infor M3 from other similar products?
The ability to train non-IT employees to be able to be self reliant. They can create, save, and run their own queries as well as upload data which saves time with very little training. I particularly LOVE the query upload tools.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Query and uploads tools and the fact that I can save output on an existing table in a MS Access database.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Too much customization can lead to issues
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Highly recommend it, especially if you are in healthcare.
Pros
- Helps Innovate

An effective ERP for Pharma Manufacturing Industry
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Infor M3 from other similar products?
M3 as a product has wide variety of deployment methods, giving IT & business the ease/freedom to work. For mid-sized organisation it stands out as a go-to option!
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
While validating M3 for our Pharma customers, we found the base validation and test evidences provided by Infor to be very exhaustive and comprehensive. Infor understands the requirements outlined by the regulatory bodies (EMA, FDA etc.) and aligns the validation strategy accordingly. The vendor assessments required by regulatory bodies was also achieved as per procedures.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There was nothing specifically alarming or not impressive about this product.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
M3 is a good product and suited well for mid-sized Pharma manufacturing companies. Infor is well informed of the Pharma regulatory requirements and thus gives a good degree of confidence to “prospective” pharma customers while deciding an ERP for their organisation.
Pros
- Trustworthy
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
