Infor EAM review and pricing

Infor EAM is the enterprise asset management and CMMS arm of Infor (a Koch Industries subsidiary). The product traces lineage to Datastream MP2 (founded 1986) and Datastream 7i, acquired by Infor in 2006 and modernized over the 2010s. Strengths: manufacturing-heavy heritage with strong process-manufacturing and food and beverage references, native integration with Infor CloudSuite ERP (Industrial, Food and Beverage, Fashion), and EAM-grade asset lifecycle depth that exceeds CMMS-first vendors. Infor EAM is consistently ranked in the upper-right of Gartner EAM evaluations alongside IBM Maximo. Best fit for mid-market and enterprise process manufacturing already on Infor CloudSuite. Trade-offs: outside the Infor ecosystem the product is less compelling than IBM Maximo at the enterprise tier and Limble at the mid-market tier, UX modernization has lagged, and implementation timelines comparable to Maximo (6-12 months typical).
