Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform Reviews

In regard to ERP, this is all you need in order to track what is being done, how long it will take, and what else is needed for the project.

I think the layout could have been better in terms of visual aesthetics, but I do understand why it was designed the way it was. It is very effective!

Seem-less integration of different modules.

Some of the design or features are old-school and not flexible.

Very easy to view and use the data we collect across the plant.

We have the older/cheaper service of plex, so I am sure the current software has more features that would be nice.

We like the "all-you-can-eat" pricing model.

Nearly everything. Plex has nearly destroyed our company and that is not an exaggeration. Part of it I could chalk up to a poor implementation via consultant company and not having the competency on the inside to know what to ask for. Even when we tried to have a completely new implementation done by another consulting company, we could clearly see that Plex was never going to work for us. The MRP, routers and BOM's are completely disjointed making planning a very tedious task. You would think that a simple report like a costed BOM would be standard, but that doesn't exist. The management of Plex has been uninterested in addressing any of these issues (our Director of ops identified over 38 major problems) so we are actually looking to change systems, at the cost of hundred's of thousands of dollars.

Ease of use- very intuitive for any user that has worked with a line of business software

Web based- this allows total IT cost to be reduced. This is particularly true with multi-site/ high
user businesses. Because it is “cloud”, backups and risk plans are not as difficult to develop.

Unlimited users! This sets PLEX aside from all others. Don’t loose this model PLEX!

PLEax community is awesome. Lots of training/ knowledge there. This is typically an add on for other softwares.

UX still has its bugs but you can just as easy log in to classic and do what you need to do. UX is great so far.

Education portal should come free for the first 6 months for a free trial. There are so many training sessions and areas to find answers to your questions in this area. If PLEX gave a good preview, this would likely be a fast add on.

An easy GUI, integrated, and easily accessible from any device. At home I can generate reports and schedules.

Would like to see a more developed distribution framework. It's there but could be better and more efficient for all the logistics involved. The support staff takes too much time to respond but we have configured the system using their development tools.

The ability to track everything to do with employees and manufacturing is great. Everything in one ERP system.

The cons I've found with PLEX is the ease of learning where to find things and how to do things that you are wanting to do. I would consider myself pretty software savvy, but PLEX isn't as user friendly as I would like it to be.

Very user friendly, cloud based so you can access and work from anywhere, the dashboard is great and an awesome tool to have.

The set up was a little tricky. The interface is also a bit dated. When it goes down it stays down for quite some time.

This software was born in a metal stamping company, what makes it very unique. it has a lot of things that applies just for metal stamping companies, i really recommend this software.

the way it is licensing, it is very expensive, we could not justified this kind of expense.
