Featured Reviews

Eugenio Santos - PeerSpot reviewer
IT and processes re-engineering manager at DEUTZ AG
Program adapts to our requirements and handles our operations effectively
The interface we use currently needs enhancement, as I am still using the outdated green screens. I would benefit for us to adpot the latest INFOR user interface, which is a more integrated interface. Additionally, improvements in warehouse handling with handheld terminal, quality management in warehouses, and managing a dual sourcing strategy would be beneficial. I have had to build my own applications for some features that are lacking, and aligning all components for uncertainty management in the market is necessary.
MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior DevOps Engineer at Alibaba Group
Free to use and provides valuable monitoring capabilities
Prometheus is a scalable and flexible tool that I can deploy on any cloud platform. It is free to use and provides valuable monitoring capabilities. It allows me to save money by avoiding costs associated with AWS native services like CloudWatch or Amazon Prometheus. The ability to deploy on any cloud platform or environment, including Kubernetes, is a major advantage.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Infor LX is effective for planning, manufacturing, and distribution processes."
"Infor LX's most valuable feature is that it's very interactive."
"I've been using it since December 2009, and it has been absolutely stable till now."
"One of the major advantages of Infor LX is the stability of the program."
"The most important feature of Infor LX for me is the use of models for accounting, which create effects in different layers simultaneously."
"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."
"Mainly for manufacturing and processing, everything is excellent."
"One of the things I love about Infor LX is that everything is integrated."
"The solution helps us to scale our products and services, and it helps me by gathering those metrics."
"The most valuable feature of Prometheus is its ability to collect metrics."
"I like its lightweight configuration functions."
"The best thing about Prometheus is its integration."
"The good thing is it integrates well with the Grafana dashboard. It comes with a UI where you see everything as a graph."
"The scalability of Prometheus is very good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution...Based on the feedback I have received from my colleagues in our company's IT department, the setup phase of the solution is relatively easy."
 

Cons

"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's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX."
"From a supporting point of view, Infor LX is not quite what I see with SAP and other areas."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"They could provide efficient logs in terms of clarity and ease of access similar to Datadog’s paid version."
"The initial setup of Prometheus is complex and rated one out of five in ease of setup."
"Setting up the rules in Prometheus can be confusing, making it an area where improvements are required."
"A slight alteration to the user interface should be made to increase efficiency and streamline the process. Currently, we are utilizing Prometheus to gather and compile metrics and then utilizing Grafana to display them in the form of a graph. However, I believe that Prometheus has the capability to handle both of these tasks on its own, with perhaps the addition of a supplementary plugin. By doing so, the need for utilizing two separate applications will be eliminated."
"There is a tool called Prometheus Exporter that doesn't work well."
"If you are not quite technical, it can be pretty hard to understand the way it works and how to query data in Prometheus."
"Prometheus' UI color can improve. Using the Prometheus UI for configuration or analyzing queries is a horrible experience."
"The primary area where Prometheus could be improved is in terms of pricing, particularly when used with managed services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is variable due to different deals and discounts, typically starting at around $2000 US dollars for one license."
"Our last maintenance fee was around $15,000 a year for 33 current users."
"Infor LX is not cheap but much cheaper compared to SAP HANA."
"The product is expensive compared to Datadog."
"We use the solution's open-source version."
"The solution is free of cost."
"Prometheus is an open-source solution."
"The solution is not expensive."
"We have the open-source version, so we don't pay for it."
"Prometheus is an open-source solution."
"It is an open-source tool."
