Pros

“It is a reliable and mature solution for managing quality systems in regulated environments and it supports digital transformation initiatives effectively.

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.”

“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

“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.”
