    Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

    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.

    • 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.

    Cons
    IBM
    • I would be nice to have a new web development environment for DataStage.
    • Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey.
    • It is confusing for new developers the possibility of developing jobs using different execution engines such as Parallel or Server.

    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.

    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

    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.

    DataStage is more robust and stable than ODI The ability to perform complex transformations or implement business rules is much more developed in DS

    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.
