Likelihood to Recommend We currently have a scenario where we print 1,000 documents per month, one for each resident. Because of DocuWare's ability to process barcodes, we dump that pdf to DocuWare and it files it into each resident's account. We then run scripting to add each of those documents to our cloud-based property management software. Saves having to process one document at a time per resident.
Read full review MasterControl is very flexible in all modules. A manufacturing department and a nursing unit can both use the same modules with all their needs met. System configuration can be accomplished at a broad and or granular level. Each document, incident, user etc can have a customized configuration for its unique workflow. The application is web-based and available on a variety of platforms. Security allows staff to access what they need from the workplace, remotely from a client site to home. While I work in healthcare, I can talk to other MasterControl clients in the oil industry or Pharma and we still can provide suggestions to each other about new or unique uses for MasterControl. I

No Outlook integration. Would be nice to be able to interact with Docuware from email. No mobile application. We have many remote users that would benefit from this.

There is still room for improvement though. Rapid company growth means many new staff. Some tech support staff know less than the customers they are supporting.

Read full review During the past five years, we expanded our business and its quality control, and we hadn't had any issues even when we grew the company's size around five times. The software has proved itself during these years, and now we rely on it heavily and don't think we need to switch to any other similar product in the near future.

Read full review Support Rating We use a third-party company to assist in the support process, and they have been great to work with. Quick turn around on issues and almost immediate communication concerning support tickets. They are more than willing to consult with our IT partners as well, which is a must for our business.
Read full review The Technical Support team has grown exponentially over the last couple years. Some front line support staff are new to the system and so know less than the clients do. Back line staff are more seasoned and provide immediate assistance to the front line staff. They have an extensive knowledge bank to assist them as well as client access to most KB articles. Annual user group conference gives us chance to meet the support staff an also to resolve any outstanding issues. Any critical vendor notices are emailed immediately when found and a patch offered at the same time. These are rare, but quickly resolved.

Plate IQ because Plate is restaurant specific and shares many item codes, SKU #'s, etc from major vendors. However, we continue to use DocuWare for other data management because it was so useful to us while we used it for AP.

Read full review SharePoint and DocSTAR were reviewed as well as 6 others. None of them provided that flexibility that MasterControl did. MasterControl had all the whistles and bells other systems did, but it offered for customizations to let us include clinical ancillary services, nursing units, outpatient clinics, product manufacturing etc. All its modules are linked together so processes are streamlined and automated. The cost is more than several other systems, but it makes up for it in its customer service and flexibility. MasterControl does value its customers and does take client suggestions to new enhancements routinely. Clients routinely get together on virtual meetings to assist each other and provide suggestions to MasterControl.
