Ideagen Quality Control vs. SpiraPlan

The software was very useful in assisting with our annual audit for our ISO 9001 audit. The auditor was impressed with our use of the software and how well we use it. It is extremely well suited for our needs. And had been a integral in maintaining all our documentation and changes.

• Access from South East Asia is rather sluggish. Could be due to server location.
• Complimentary phone app to do simple tasks (e.g. create tasks, create requirements, add comments) offline would be beneficial because access to the internet can be an issue at the customer's environment.

This program is very user-friendly and all employees are able to easily use the features provided. The customer service provided also helps, because any issues with overall usability is easily resolved. All of the features are easy to use and understand. The mains issues with usability are in small glitches in the programming.
