The quality service and the strong production versatility has helped us develop a great solution for our batch records. These improvements are much better than the legacy batch records and provide immediate access at multiple points across the organization. Would definitely purchase again.

Usability
MasterControl
I receive positive feedback from manufacturing personnel about how easy it is to use when manufacturing and I also receive positive feedback from quality personnel for review batch records. We have had some deviations where operators are inputting data under other operators accounts which is really bad good documentation practices and is a compliance risk

I have used and worked on SAP ME/MII. This product(SAP DM) is far better in every way than the older sibling - ME/MII. This is completely cloud based solution which removes the hinderances of procuring and managing an on-prem solution. And as this is a cloud based solution, it also enables a very smooth scalability of the deployment across various plants
