Manufacturing planning has become efficient and supports integrated shop floor and quality control
For manufacturing, Infor LX is very strong on the MRP side with MRP and MPS capabilities, and even shop floor functionality. The platform has quality control features, and there are many additional features available. There is also integration with finance. Overall, for manufacturing, it is very good. There are many modules that have been implemented including inbound, outbound, and logistics. Primarily for manufacturing and the processing side, everything is excellent. It's a solid, proven product. Infor LX's material planning feature is quite a flexible solution.

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

"Mainly for manufacturing and processing, everything is excellent."
"Infor LX has helped us in conducting efficient production planning, streamlining procurement processes, and maintaining a reliable source of information for our vendors and procurement purchase orders."
"Infor LX's most valuable feature is that it's very interactive."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the exit points that enable integration with external software."
"Infor LX is effective for planning, manufacturing, and distribution processes."
"One of the things I love about Infor LX is that everything is integrated."
"Prometheus is a scalable and flexible tool that I can deploy on any cloud platform."
"Prometheus is a great solution for monitoring."
"It has lots of APIs and libraries to integrate with any kind of language, including Python, Perl, PHP, Java, and Kotlin."
"The most valuable feature of Prometheus is its ability to collect metrics."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It lets me proactively identify and resolve system issues. This, in terms of, most of the time, really reduces downtime. Because when there are notifications on time when we engage it quickly on time, our downtime is highly reduced. So basically, Prometheus is for monitoring and alerting."
"The most valuable features of Prometheus are the many functions available. The functions are helpful for understanding the behavior of applications and infrastructure."
"The product’s scalability is valuable."
 

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."
"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"From a supporting point of view, Infor LX is not quite what I see with SAP and other areas."
"Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX."
"It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting."
"Infor has now stopped and drastically reduced investing in this product."
"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."
"If you want to collect details of metrics, you should be able to write a query for it directly. I want the product to offer better queries for the metrics."
"There is a tool called Prometheus Exporter that doesn't work well."
"Lacks the ability to clusterize."
"There is a need for a more comprehensive overview of exporters, especially when dealing with many of them."
"Setting up the rules in Prometheus can be confusing, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Its stability could be even better."
"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."
"The solution's error handling part could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our last maintenance fee was around $15,000 a year for 33 current users."
"Pricing is variable due to different deals and discounts, typically starting at around $2000 US dollars for one license."
"Infor LX is not cheap but much cheaper compared to SAP HANA."
"Prometheus is an open-source solution."
"The solution is free of cost."
"Prometheus is available as an open-source product."
"The price of Prometheus is good, it is affordable because it is open source and there is no cost to it. You put it on your own server and the costs incurred completely depend on how you set it up."
"We have the open-source version, so we don't pay for it."
"It is an open-source tool."
"The tool is open-sourced."
"The product is free."
