IT Director at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Consistent optimization of production and efficient procurement processes improve operational effectiveness
I am working as an IT Director at Istituto De Angeli, which is a company of Fareva. FAREVA is a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, makeup, and home and industrial care products. I have worked with the traceability and audit features in Infor LX, including the electronic signature module, which is essential in the pharmaceutical industry. The electronic signature is a key component of compliance for our ERP. This is crucial for periodic inspections we receive from authorities, including European authorities, Italian AIFA, USA FDA and other Pharma Agencies and Ministry world wide. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Infor LX a 9.

Integration across functionalities has streamlined business operations and improved cost efficiency
Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented. Additionally, some underlying technologies need refactoring to more modern structures. Although it's not immediately necessary since the system works, changes to the architecture would be beneficial. From the transition from version 17 to 18, it appears they are aware and have begun addressing some of these concerns.

"Infor LX has improved my customers' manufacturing processes by creating a standard in the process, which improves performance in manufacturing as well as finance, distribution, and supply chain."
"The most important feature of Infor LX for me is the use of models for accounting, which create effects in different layers simultaneously."
"The most valuable features are the exit points that enable integration with external software."
"One of the things I love about Infor LX is that everything is integrated."
"Infor LX's most valuable feature is that it's very interactive."
"Odoo is a cloud-based SaaS system, which is better than having the program on the desktop."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Being open source, it is more affordable compared to alternatives like Oracle or SAP, and I appreciate how easy it is to customize with the available sources."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature."
"Odoo is flexible and serves us quite well. Its interface has improved."
"With Odoo, being open source is advantageous because we have access to the source code for whatever we develop. This gives us the flexibility to make additions, deletions, or modifications according to our needs without any restrictions. There are no predefined formats that limit our customization options."
"Odoo is highly scalable."
"Odoo is open source, so we can develop it and adjust it to our requirements. It's easy to work with."
 

Cons

"It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."
"It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting."
"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."

"The interface needs enhancement, as I am still using outdated screens. I would benefit from a more integrated interface."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"Infor needs more APIs, as in the current version, APIs are not fully developed. The development of APIs must be enhanced, especially for AS400."
"Infor has now stopped and drastically reduced investing in this product."
"The customization and technical support are not great and could be improved."
"The authorization management needs to be improved."
"Odoo could improve its newsletters and social media campaign features, which currently feel a bit weak."
"Odoo's automation and workflow design tools could be better. It has some limitations compared to other ERP solutions like SAP. You should have the option to design workflows in order using BPM diagrams and tools that make it more versatile in terms of adapting to any workflow through low code."
"There is a lack of resources for specialized Odoo professionals."
"The solution's reporting could be improved."
"Odoo’s asset management, supply chain, and advanced manufacturing should be improved."
"Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."
