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

"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."
"The most important feature of Infor LX for me is the use of models for accounting, which create effects in different layers simultaneously."
"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."
"One of the major advantages of Infor LX is the stability of the program."
"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 valuable features of Prometheus for metrics collection and monitoring are its stability, robustness, and rich set of features."
"The solution is useful to collect huge metrics."
"The most valuable feature of Prometheus is the ease of pulling the metrics."
"Prometheus provides a flexible and adjustable querying and describing time, allowing for more responsive monitoring."
"It has lots of APIs and libraries to integrate with any kind of language, including Python, Perl, PHP, Java, and Kotlin."
"The solution can be deployed in thirty minutes."
"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."
"The scalability of Prometheus is very good."
 

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."
"From a supporting point of view, Infor LX is not quite what I see with SAP and other areas."
"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"The interface needs enhancement, as I am still using outdated screens. I would benefit from a more integrated interface."
"It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting."
"Infor has now stopped and drastically reduced investing in this product."
"The simplicity of the query language could be improved. The current query language is not easy to work with."
"I would like to see improvement in the analysis tools and customization features."
"They could provide efficient logs in terms of clarity and ease of access similar to Datadog’s paid version."
"There is a need for a more comprehensive overview of exporters, especially when dealing with many of them."
"The interface is not particularly user-friendly and that could be improved."
"The solution's error handling part could be improved."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Pricing is variable due to different deals and discounts, typically starting at around $2000 US dollars for one license."
"The product is free."
"The solution is free of cost."
"The solution is open source."
"My company uses the open-source version of the product."
"It is an open-source tool."
"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."
"Prometheus is an open-source solution."
"The tool is open-sourced."
