Likelihood to Recommend One example of where the quality management system, document module excels for us is the loading, distributing, and acknowledging documentation. We are easily able to load SOPs, guides, and policies for staff to read and then sign to state that they are aware of the contents of the documentation. This is crucial for our laboratory as we need to know if staff are aware of the Health and Safety practices and policies within the laboratory.

If your training program is more complicated than simple onboarding training, then the Q-Pulse training module will be a bit of a challenge. It's not impossible to use, but there are better programs out there. I understand though, that this is an area that is being improved on soon.

Read full review Usability The Q-Pulse QMS client works great in our organization within the head office as the server is hosted on-premises. Remote locations connect in through Citrix, which reduces the usability. However, Q-Pulse QMS is currently transitioning to a web-based model, which will remove this problem. Once the system is fully web based, then this will no longer be an issue.
