Pros

“Security is another great feature, since you can adjust access depending on the user and apply watermarks across all documents.”

Raymond V.

Cell and Gene Therapy Specialist

“Working in biopharmaceuticals has been a rewarding experience, requiring a strong focus on quality, compliance, and collaboration to ensure patient safety and product integrity.”

Genesis B.

Aseptic Technician

“One area where Qualio could improve is its overall flexibility, as some workflows can feel restrictive when trying to accommodate unique business processes.”

Genesis B.

Aseptic Technician

Pros

“It is a reliable and mature solution for managing quality systems in regulated environments and it supports digital transformation initiatives effectively. While there are areas that could be improved in terms of usability and flexibility, the platform provides strong compliance support and helps standardize quality processes across different functions and sites.”

Simone B.

Quality compliance specialist

“MasterControl Quality Excellence is a solid and comprehensive eQMS platform, particularly suitable for highly regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices.”

Simone B.

Quality compliance specialist

“The supplier module has also been great for us so that we are able to keep track of our approved suppliers and which products they supply to us.”

Karina B.

Manager, QMS system

Cons

“Collaboration was difficult because, until the collaborator feature was added, only the author and QA could see initiated/draft documents, which made for many accidental duplicates.”

Abby W.

Quality Assurance Specialist

“Search limitations can feel clunky when looking for specific data.”

Loralie B.

Clinical Operations Consultant

“There is nothing I can point to that I did not like, other than I think the cloud storage could be larger”

Patricia M.

Administrative Director

Cons

“Some of the pain points are the cost of licensing, not having the ability for multiple collaborators to edit the same document simultaneously, and search functionality being tough for users who aren't as familiar with document numbers/names.”

Johana A.

Jr MasterControl Sys Admin

“The performance on "on prem" version, pdf publishing time and constant issues with pdf not beeing generated, issues with custom forms created by MC.”

Michal M.

IT QMS Software Administrator

“Additionally, controlled printing is a little bit of a hassle and is less flexible than the rest of Qx.”

Aubrey K.

QC Project Support Specialist
