I give the solution an eight out of ten. I recommend the Infor dEPM system to others as it is a robust solution that runs smoothly for our clients. Three individuals within our organization are in charge of managing the solution. Nevertheless, we have numerous clients who utilize the solution in their respective organizations.

There's always room for improvement. Especially when it comes to scaling and cloud integration. The latest version has been cloud-enabled, but it requires a deeper understanding of programming skills compared to the previous versions, which were more user-friendly and allowed end-to-end development. So, based on our current experience, there is a paradigm shift. Previously, I could handle everything myself as a finance user developer, but now I require programmers' assistance to deliver the desired outcomes. This shift has been significant for me.

Infor dEPM is very easy to deploy. I'd give it a ten out of ten for for ease of deployment. First, we find out the customer's requirements and create a demo for their specific needs. Next, we customize the solution to handle the customer's requirements. We then train the customers and start implementing their live data. Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month.

Valuable Features

Infor dEPM offers valuable features like Import Master for data extraction, Application Studio for comprehensive reporting, and robust OLAP database functionalities. Users appreciate the Excel integration, multi-currency support, and user-friendly reporting capabilities. The system excels in planning, forecasting, and flexible ad-hoc inquiries. Integration with other software, strong data analysis, simplicity in creating OLAP cubes, write-back functionality, and exceptional Q&A reporting suite enhance user experience and efficiency.

"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."

Room for Improvement

Infor dEPM needs enhancements in its rule engine, web-server, and application studio. The web-server's performance is slow and lacks resources for effective user guidance. Flexibility in modifying Infocubes and integration with ETL tools require attention. Usability, mobile features, inventory, and purchasing modules need refinement. Implementation processes can be challenging, causing reliance on programmers. Reporting, budgeting, and technical support could be improved. It's expensive and complicates dynamic business changes. Scalability requires better cloud integration.

"The latest version has been cloud-enabled, but it requires a deeper understanding of programming skills compared to the previous versions, which were more user-friendly."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."

ROI

Pricing

Infor dEPM pricing is viewed as competitive yet costly, rated nine out of ten in terms of expense. Deployment costs, including hardware and consultancy for a global project, were approximately £360k. Maintenance ranges from £25-30k annually or 20% of original costs. SaaS pricing includes some named users at no extra cost. Annual fees can be about 12,000 euros, with cloud versions potentially cheaper than alternatives like SAP BusinessObjects EPM.

"The pricing is competitive."
"It's a very expensive product, and I would rate it at nine out of ten, with ten being the most expensive. There are yearly licensing costs."
"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."

Service and Support

Customer service for Infor dEPM varies with some rating it as moderate to very good, while technical support receives praise for being excellent and responsive.

Scalability

Many find Infor dEPM accommodates growth well, though simultaneous usage by several users may impact performance. It successfully handles varied user bases and their scaling needs, yet some experience limitations when processing large data volumes, particularly with cubes.

Stability
