What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

The range of quality assurance forms and processes that are incorporated, plus the eForm option to build out custom items

Being able to create a workflow that linked key quality form types together to ensure a full end-to-end flow was captured to support any deviations/out of specification results etc. Having all the reports, investigations, results and conclusions all in one SaaS platform allows for ease of preparation for audits (particularly regulatory ones) and helps support drug approval applications

eQMS offering easier to implement than the previous spreadsheet option, on-demand training (with the option to purchase additional training courses) helps with the user adoption for maximum usage by all team members.

If you purchase other MasterControl products, they readily integrate with one another for a one-stop-shop, seamless SaaS platform for all regulatory needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

Configuration of the platform, the eQMS offers a more customisable product that can be easily tailored by the customer whereas the previous spreadsheet upload format was not very user-friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MasterControl Quality Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quality management

Logging of events and tracking actions within the MasterControl company

Education on the platform was provided to all members of the Professional Services team to ensure colleagues were experts in each module so that the best solution configurations could be proposed and built for customers, based on their specific use cases and pain points Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

What I like best is that it's a centralized system that supports documents, training, risl, audit, supplier, projects - Quality Complete and PLx. I am also looking forward to the new AQEM - enhance forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

Very little dislike if there's any. For right now, it woould be the wait for AQEM. We wanted to use enhance form earlier this year, but had to stay using our manual paper process for CAPA, Deviation, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MasterControl Quality Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

Training records and document management. It is a critical process that we have our revision controlled documents go through the proper review, approval, and release process -- also critical that these effective documents are sent out for training in a timely manner, MasterControl supports all these process.

What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

We are in the process of implementing Master Control within our company and it will be a huge change for better. it will be our one QMS system that will replace a multiple systems we currently use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

There are some limitations within Master Control:

- no multiple documents can be put through one packet if not preconfigured first hover the combination of docs that can go through one packet can change. ideally any doc type we should be able to put through one packet.

- Rejection codes should be pre-defined (rather than a free text field) so the dat can be trended Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MasterControl Quality Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

Master Control will replace current Doc Control, training, CAPA, Cmplaints, etc systems therefore it will become our global solution that would serve multiple organization sites.

Master Control = One system that replace multiple different systems we use in QMS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

Mastercontrol Quality Management System has worked incredibly well for our organization. We have been able to customize the experience for our users. Currently excited about our pending upgrade to the cloud. MC support has been extremely helpful during this process as we navigate this new territory. MC has also enabled us to easily create, track, manage, and produce documents as needed for a number of regulatory agencies. We are excited to implement AQEM as part of our upgrade! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

Currently we have an older version of MC that has been a little cumbersome to use. Our employees found it difficult to search and navigate. The new features we are upgrading to should certainly help the user experience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MasterControl Quality Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ease of document control, creation, management, collaboration. Allows us to be compliant with our governing agencies and easily produce documents as part of regulated inspections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

The MasterControl Quality Management System keeps all our records and documents in one easy to use place. It keeps everything organized for us without a lot of setup/upkeep on our side. It keeps track of training and offers data analytics for how we're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of a document control group at our company makes for a lot of repetitive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

I like that we can use one system for all investigations, documents, training etc. I like the dash board and it is a very user friendly system. I like the audit histories and the collaboration functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

I do not like that you can close an investigation with open action items. I do not like the report function since you can alter and filter before it's exported to excel. I think that reopening an investigation of caps should go back thru approvals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We currently use it for documents, training, and investigations, change controls, capa, oos, complaints audit and supplier event reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

I main advantage is that we can mostly avoid paper. We use it for documents, training, deviations, CAPA, OOS-OOT, suppliers, audits and production records. The system is relatively straightforward to use and doesn't require a huge amount of training for users to be able to perform their tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

Some of the modules are relatively old and don't function as one might expect in a modern system. Some configuration items are not as configurable as one might expect. However, they're moving to address that with their new platforms to support a more modern interface and configura tion functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MasterControl Quality Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

Master control provides us with an integrated electronic quality management system that is relatively easy to administrator and keeps us out of the paper world by having most of our items captured electronically Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

MasterControl has enabled us to streamline our old paper based processes and build efficiency in everything Quality related. Collaboration between our large functional groups (quality and operations) has greatly improved due in large part to the MasterControl Qx solution. In addition, the system is super user friendly and there is lots of free training/help resources available. Even when something goes wrong, the support is always there to assist in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

MasterControl systems can be rigid in their customizabilty. Although there are improvements being made in that front with new solutions like Advanced Quality Event Management, not all customers are able to upgrade to the new solutions right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MasterControl Quality Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

Streamline quality processes like change controls, OOS, deviation reports, and SOPs. As well as a document storage system for records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
