"Successful implementation"
4/5
What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

Implementation went well, and the system integration between documents and the other modules exists and works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

There are some areas that could use improvement such as customization for columns that remain static in both search and my tasks. Customization of my tasks is a big one. There are also areas of document control that need improvement (no reject of DC collaboration, and the ability for a reject workflow to go through without all original collaborators signing off on the revisions). The fact that the original modules work slightly different makes it hard for buy in and hard to train end users. When creating procedures we literally have to log in to each module to verify functionality when if they all worked the same it would make it easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Document Control But Needs UI Improvements"
4/5

I truly appreciate how MasterControl Quality Management System allows everything to behave consistently across the platform. This consistency facilitates our ability to quickly and efficiently adopt new modules and build-outs, significantly reducing the learning curve for both new and existing users.

Overall, this consistent and reliable performance across the board adds considerable value to our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

I find the end-user interface challenging to navigate. It's not always user-friendly, which can cause issues, especially for users who are not familiar with the system. Simplifying the view and reducing the number of steps required would greatly enhance user experience, as currently, users can get lost easily within the system.

"Loving MasterControl"
4/5
What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

I love how customizable MasterControl is. I have used other eQMS where they have not necessarily met the need of our company and we have had to make it work for us. MasterControl is constantly improving its systems and takes the feedback from customers and applies it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

My least favorite thing about MasterControl thus far is the risk module. It is very outdated and could use improvements that can assist other modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MasterControl Experience"
4/5
What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

The most helpful thing about the MasterControl system is the doc management system. All documents are organized and submitting a DCR or change request is easy and more importantly user friendly. It has helped us with retention & controlled copies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

The aspect we dislike about the system are the J reports. We find it fairly difficult to create a report or pull any data from the system. As the business grows and changes, so do our requirements. The J reports are not user friendly and require a lot of knowledge and coding to get the correct data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Review of MasterControl's Qx Module for Use in the Life Sciences Field"
4.5/5
What do you like best about MasterControl Quality Management System?

I've been using MasterControl’s Qx module for a just under two years now. Having everything integrated into one system is incredibly convenient. It simplifies document management, training, audits, and quality events. The document management feature is probably the most noticeable advantage. Instead of dealing with scattered paper files, everything we need is right there in the system. It’s hassle-free, and the approval process is so much smoother. It’s made it easier to keep track of what’s complete and what’s pending. Tracking employee training is another huge advantage. We use Qx to manage all of our SOP training. I no longer have to go through individual personnel files to make sure they’re up to date on their training because the system tracks everything for me. It helps keep us compliant and ensures that everyone has the knowledge they need to perform their job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Quality Management System?

It’s not all perfect. It’s not an intuitive system and the learning curve is steep, especially with some of the more complex features. There are some customization limits, but for what we need, it’s been enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
