Overall Satisfaction with MasterControl Quality Excellence

We use MasterControl for Document management and Training. We have a number of document types and workflows to manage them. We have created multiple types of courses and leverage classes in our training module.

Pros

  • The VxT tool kit probably the standout for MasterControl

Cons

  • It seems to me that MasterControl struggles with database management. To often there are issues on the database side that result in document packets failing, locking, or getting stuck. In that area MasterControl seems to be behind the times.
  • MasterControl customer service is often slow to respond and does not seem to have strong technical knowledge. Typically it seems like it takes a few day for your the customer service rep to respond and then they spend time working with the technical experts
  • For us using only DMS/TMS the ROI has been limited. The modules we use are not complex and MasterControl is more expensive than many options on the market.
There are some features that are clunky. One specific example is the document editing.
My company had MasterControl when I joined, and I have not used any other DMS/TMS

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

No

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?

No

despite not being very robust and having technical issues, I feel that MasterControl can be a good DMS/TMS solution for a company not very familiar with complex systems that needs a solution out of the box with minimal configuration or validation.
