Cons

"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions. Integration is a concern."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"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."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"The usability could be better."
"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."

"There can be an improvement in many regards with the dimensions, the metadata, the interfaces, as well as the integration."
"The pricing model could be more flexible as it's more expensive than its competitors."
"Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."

"Configuration is a little complex, it's not very easy. The solution is integrated with Essbase and there are not many users of the Essbase database. If they can provide different modules for each subject area, like supply chain, for inventory forecasting or for order management forecasting, it would make each subject area easier to manage."
