Aligni Reviews

Pros

One thing I really appreciate is how often the support team adds new features and improves the ones already there. Aligni is flexible and it doesn't need a lot of data entry as long as the information is chosen well. The revision-controlled part lists are simple to work with and making updates is very simple. User roles are also divided up nicely and the API is excellent.

Cons

A downside is that inventory parts can lose their revision and the substitution process feels difficult.

Pros

Right from the start it stood out to us for having one of the strongest MRP interfaces in the industry. It's very user-friendly which makes training and onboarding new staff much simpler. The advanced inventory capabilities are outstanding and the way it manages bulk parts data is especially impressive. We'd absolutely recommend it to anyone who needs to build bills of materials, manage a large volume of inventory items and generate manufacturing work orders.

Cons

One area that still needs improvement is integration with other platforms since it feels a bit behind where it should be. That said I expect Aligni will continue developing this and that it will get better over time.

Pros

One thing that has really stood out is how responsive the Aligni support team has been as our company's tasks, projects and needs continue to change and grow.

Cons

Since the platform is constantly evolving which is actually something we appreciate, a few added inventory management features like mass update functionality would still be helpful. That said their API and BeSpoke support have covered every gap we've run into.

Pros

this software gives me the right mix of features and functionality to actually get the work done. I've used it for tracking production products and I've also relied on it for open source projects. It covers both the PLM side and the MRP side which makes a big difference. Because of that, I can clearly see what's already in inventory and what needs to be purchased for an upcoming build and that's incredibly valuable.

Cons

Getting started with it does take some effort since the learning curve is fairly steep. You really need a clear plan for how you want to structure your item master from the beginning. Expanding it with additional items and categories can be frustrating and bringing items over from another system is especially tedious. Still, once everything is properly set up, the difference is huge.

Pros

Handling quotes for a multi-level BOM is much more manageable with this system. It fixes the challenge of creating an RFQ when every line item comes from different distributors by automatically generating a separate custom RFQ for each one.

Cons

The platform includes a lot of strong features but there are times when the information I need in the self-help section isn't located where I'd expect it to be.
