Read Full ReviewI like that we have the test environment to use as a playground. I like the community because we can see how other companies are using the product to find solutions. I like that many things are highly customizable.
Read Full ReviewWe really appreciate the amount of APIs available, this helped us customize further to fulfill our needs
Read Full Review1. An enhanced post-implementation support would significantly improve customer satisfaction and long-term customer success. As customers move beyond implementation, a more proactive engagement and faster issue resolution would help ensure value realization. 2. The complexity and duration of EDI implementations can be challenging for customers and partners alike, highlighting an opportunity for clearer scoping, tooling, and more streamlined implementation processes. 3. While existing documentation is helpful, expanding and refining work instructions and knowledge base resources would further support users.
Read Full ReviewMany issues recently with uptime. Customer service is outsourced. Limitations to printed documents but sounds like they've created a solution for UX. Update 6/25/25: Uptime is much improved, Customer service is outsourced BUT have had several recent cases where our cases were assigned to someone who took the time to understand the issue and dig into it.
Read Full ReviewWhile it is very much appreciated that we have the ability to write our own reports in the report server database, it would be very helpful for us to be able to write our own reports in the production database, since currently we are limited to the report server database which has a data delay of 4 hours.

A customer review
Love the plex community, do not love the lack of communication from plex employees on the community, but that is improving. Customer service is outsourced which causes issues with time differences and language barriers, but we have had a recent successful case so hopefully that is also improving. Update 6/25/25: Communication much improved and several successful cases! Headed in the right direction. - Associate<50M USDSoftwareReview Source
Adaptable Implementation Appreciated But Post-Launch Support Needs Enhancement in Plex
Plex encompases a strong product vision and provides this information via the Plex Roadmap. The company cares about their customers success and provides a partner-driven ecosystem. - ENGINEERING MANAGER<50M USDManufacturingReview Source

Community-Driven Support Leaves Plex Users Navigating Customization Alone
I do believe that Plex is a quality product, but I wish there were more information on how to use it. - IT Associate50M-1B USDManufacturingReview Source
Customization and Report Features Stand Out Despite Delays in Support Response
The platform is intuitive and user-friendly while also providing a lot of customization and configurations for each module. Support is usually good unless you have a lower priority in which case you might have to wait several months for a response.
