Cons

"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"However, I found it buggy, clunky, and very stiff."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"The interface is poorly designed and could really use an improvement to compete with other comparable software."
"It could be made much more simpler. Most of the time it looks like a black box for developers."
"We experienced severe performance issues when the models created are getting more details and becoming more complex."
"The usability needs to be improved but bear in mind that we did not have the latest update."
"The data integration is very complex Visualization of the cost flow is not user-friendly It takes hours to build OLAP cubes to analyze the results of the model"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
"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."
