## Reviews

### "My experience with PLEX" — 4.0/5

> **Ajshanique** | *14 July 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: For close to three years, I worked for a company that supplied parts to an auto manufacturing company, MAZDA TOYOTA. The PLEX system allowed us to store safety quality sheets. It showed us everything we needed to know about the Stamping and Weld Cells, such as any downtime, how many coils were being cut, how many parts were being stamped and how many being welded. We also used PLEX to print out labels for each container. PLEX also told us where each container was to be stored and where to locate them.
> 
> **Cons**: When PLEX was down, we had to manually write out labels, which was time consuming. Sometimes PLEX showed an inaccurate count, versus what we really had in storage.
> 
> My overall experience with PLEX was good. It only sucked when the system was down, which made the job hard. Everything and everyone relied on the PLEX system.

-----

### "Our Plant uses PLEX" — 5.0/5

> **Jacob** | *17 December 2024* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very easy to view and use the data we collect across the plant.
> 
> **Cons**: We have the older/cheaper service of plex, so I am sure the current software has more features that would be nice.
> 
> We use PLEX everyday to manage our manufacturing team. Overall very good experience.

### "PLEX Review" — 4.0/5

> **Sukhpreet** | *14 August 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Seem-less integration of different modules.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the design or features are old-school and not flexible.
> 
> Overall Experience with Plex is satisfactory; build is stable.
Room for improvement.

### "Plex is ERP made easy" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *10 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 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.
> 
> **Cons**: 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\!
