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.”

“Some modules could benefit from a more modern and user-friendly interface, and system performance may occasionally slow down when handling large processes or extensive datasets.”

Pros

“Tools offered by KPA helps to get and stay on the path for continued growth, success, and compliance.”
CN

Chris N.

HR Manager

“This would be a very strategic move for KPA to include this standard with the platform as it is a must in general industry, yet so costly for minimal viewership of the actual SDS's. ”
CW

Calvin W.

Safety Program Manager

“Essentially just an extensive/fancy form builder.”
SM

Stephen M.

Sr Mgr, EHS

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.”
JA

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.”
MM

Michal M.

IT QMS Software Administrator

“With the cloud and licensing model changes, we've seen a dramatic increase in licensing fees, while simultaneously losing the ability to implement custom solutions and assign user rights freely.”

Sr. Manager, SQA

Cons

“I am not able to pull action items (follow ups) from one source and do a dive into where they came from. How many were from an audit, incident, investigation, inspection, etc.”
TA

Tonya A.

WC and System Specialist

“Some of the form creation/editing activities are not as intuitive as I'd like (moving items accidentally is too easy).”

Perry R.

Quality Manager

“For example, setting up extravagant EHS Audit processes don't work well with the current workflow design of the system.”
