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.”

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

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.”
