    Altec
    It's a great tool that works well to automate processes and, once set up, reduce admin time on things like tracking the approval process. However, it can be challenging to initially set up because it requires an understanding of the process in the first place. We have a team of business analysts who work for us so one of them was assigned to understand our own internal processes and then set up the relevant workflows. I think without this we might have struggled. We also each use the expense receipt feature which is great. You can in a receipt and using OCR the expense forms are automatically populated. You do need to manually check it but this saves a lot of time in filling in forms. As we now have a workflow in place it is straightforward to submit your monthly expense report for approval straight afterward. The document tracking feature is good too - who has seen, worked on, or needs to see the document. It means we were able to stop using Slack.

    Qualio
    This is one of the most user-friendly QMS programs I have used because it does not require lengthy training to navigate the system. We are able to bring on a new employee and have them start their own initial onboard training in Qualio with only a simple introductory message that shares a few key instructions. The available training in Qualio Help has proved very effective when needed. An individual can pick whatever training is appropriate at that moment and there will be instructions on demand on any topic related to Qualio operations. Qualio is relatively new software and is maturing with a responsive staff that releases new updates on a monthly, weekly, or even daily basis. It has grown incapability in the two years I have used it and it continues to evolve through customer inputs and looking at other state-of-the-art products. The staff listen and respond quickly compared to my past experiences with other QMS software. There is an opportunity for them to provide more and better features, but the gap is closing and the Qualio engineers have been very collaborative to work with, providing us opportunities to participate in their directions for growth.

    Pros
    Altec
    • Maintains all scanned and processed documents since we converted from paper files. 13 years and counting for our company.
    • Able to create custom folders or "workflows" with specific permissions.
    • Able to quickly search using a wide variety of search parameters.
    • Allows the user to make notations, highlights, and digital stamps for future reference.
    • Allows the user to scan or drag and drop documents into the program and will convert to the acceptable format (ie: PDF will convert to TIF).

    Qualio
    • Readily available policy documents to access any at any time which we wanted to access.
    • Quickly identify, understand and compare the older and newer version difference of the SOPs and to understand the changes which have made.
    • all the SOPs DOPs at the same place with secured access.
    • Particularly the upgraded version of Qualio is so classic and the dashboard and menus are easily able to understand to any new user as well.

    Qualio
    • I would appreciate if similar documents are grouped together. For instance if engineering documents are put in one category and management document in a different category
    • Qualio has links to external documents but it would be helpful if it linked the user to sections within the document also
    • I would prefer that users be able to purchase licences directly without contacting a representative

    Qualio
    as i already mentioned earlier.... Qualio definitely makes things run smoother, especially with keeping compliance in check and reducing errors. The setup took a bit to get everyone on board, and yeah, the costs can stack up over time. But overall, it’s been a solid tool that’s saved us time and stress, so it’s definitely worth it.

    Usability
    Altec
    DocLink is VERY user-friendly! The daily functions are easily taught to non-financial individuals. It's easy to understand and easy to manipulate with a simple, functional layout. The Administrative module is not too complicated, but it would be more effective if there was a more thorough "help" section or an online forum for users. All of my knowledge is self-taught, trial and error, but it would be helpful for a new user to have an online resource to address questions or issues.

    I think the system is usable, but only to a certain extent. If the organization using Qualio did not outright need audit trails and functionality around metadata compliance, then it would be an okay system to use. However, there are systems that are approximately the same cost, but are fully compliant. It depends on your organizations needs

    Performance
    Altec
    DocLink is quite reliable and effective. Scanned documents are easy to read with very slight loss of integrity. Pages load quickly with occasional lag loading very large files. We use DocLink with MS Dynamics SL, and the two systems perform well together without much interruption or ambiguity in the process. One issue we have is in relation to the number of licenses and issues we have when a session will not close upon exit, thus suspending an available license rendering it unusable. Although very infrequent, IT has had to manually "end" a session to clear the license.

    Qualio
    Two great things Qualio has for customer support. 1. They are available online and on the phone, if needed, 24/7 with very friendly and knowledgeable people. Usually, the wait is no more than 10 or 15 min, and while you wait, you can search their online help library. I used to call first, but now I've found that their online help library usually has he answers already and the instructions are clear. Usually, I learn more than I needed. So I now go there first and only call if I don't find anything in the online help library.

    Document sender u can only send one at a time, doclink sends mass emails all at once and can archive all your documents, making it a complete solution.

    We selected Qualio over Greenlight Guru because of the flexibility offered in adapting the system to support software as a medical device (SaMD) processes. Greenlight Guru was more expensive and very focused on hardware medical devices which did not fit our needs.

    Return on Investment
    Altec
    • Now set up it has significantly reduced admin time for everyone. I would say on average 1-2 hours per month per staff member spent on expense forms and submissions.
    • Cancelled paid version of slack as no longer needed.

    • The number of emails received.. end up just deleting as it is spamming my inbox.
    • Benefitting from E-sign approvals.
    • Keeping track of our documents in a efficient and better way.
    • Amazing to use a cloud based system where everything is not on paper.
