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."

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."

Popular Use Cases

Infor dEPM is utilized primarily for financial purposes, business intelligence, and management reporting. Organizations often customize it for analytics and reporting dashboards to support top management in decision-making. Consulting firms sell it to clients to avoid strict budgeting while focusing on management reporting. Used widely in housing and hospitality, it assists with end-to-end management reporting, budgeting, forecasting, planning, re-planning, and analytical reporting, highlighting its flexibility in different industries.

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. In specific instances, users find the technical team knowledgeable and timely, yet others experience slow responses or insufficient resolutions, prompting self-resolution of issues. While office plus is rated average, application studio is commended. Import master is low unless documentation suffices, yet technical support often scores high ratings.

Deployment

Infor dEPM's setup experience varies. Some found it straightforward, quick, and easy with assistance, while others faced complexity due to technical language requirements and tailored configurations, particularly in specific industries like Oil & Gas. Some setups were smooth with IT support, though certain users mentioned challenges in automation and workflow setup. Deployment can take a month, resembling Jedox processes, with options for cloud or on-premises. Customized deployments are essential for meeting distinct customer needs.

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. Users agree it performs reliably with adequate processing power in cloud environments and across different geographies, though performance can fluctuate with data scale. No significant issues are seen when data volume remains reasonable.

Stability

Infor dEPM displays high stability, with most users experiencing minimal to no issues. Some users attribute complications to external factors like network issues or Excel interactions. Ratings often reach nine out of ten, indicating satisfaction but acknowledging potential for improvement. Larger databases with accelerators may show instability, though accelerators are crucial for model functionality. Users find stability impressive and appreciate the responsive handling of features that may not meet expectations.
