Overall Satisfaction with MasterControl Quality Excellence

We use MasterControl to manage all of our documents, change controls, non-conformances, customer complaints, CAPAs, training documentation and monitoring, among other work-flows. Since MasterControl has the flexibility to create electronic forms, and work-flows, we migrate more of our paper systems to MasterControl every year. 100% of our personnel use MasterControl. We don't use the Manufacturing modules as our manufacturing is customized for each of our clients.

Pros

  • Document changes and revisions through collaborations.
  • Reporting and audit trails, accountability for tasks.
  • Managing recurring tasks.

Cons

  • Flexibility in training course structures.
  • Ability to attach non-document files such as videos and PowerPoints.
  • Flexible electronic batch records.
  • Flexible data reporting for varied employees.
  • MasterControl saves paper and storage.
  • MasterControl makes it easy to track project status and with whom the project sits.
  • MasterControl makes producing metrics possible due to imbedded reports.
MasterControl has a bit of a learning curve and the work-flows are not always intuitive, but they do preserve data integrity and documentation principles in an electronic system. From a data integrity point of view, the workflows make sense.

Do you think MasterControl Quality Excellence delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with MasterControl Quality Excellence's feature set?

Yes

Did MasterControl Quality Excellence live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of MasterControl Quality Excellence go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy MasterControl Quality Excellence again?

Yes

We are a 21CFR11 compliant company and need complete capture of all of our data without data loss. We have a broad training curriculum and MasterControl allows for setting up varied curricular paths. However, there is not the ability to create blocks of pre-requisites, or visibility of training task progress outside read and understand training. There is limited ability to assign open-ended assessments.
