Overall Satisfaction with MasterControl Quality Excellence

MasterControl Quality Excellence is our eQMS for document and training management. We also use it for supplier, audit, and event management information. It is important for our organization to have a system that can support audits, manufacturing of products, deliver training, and track event management. In our endeavor to drive innovation of life sciences, we need a robust system.

Pros

  • Document revisioning
  • Collaboration on tasks
  • Lifecycle management

Cons

  • Data governance
  • Form management
  • Audit trail visibility
  • Training
  • Time savings on paper processes
  • Data collections (where possible)
There is a general appeal to the look of MasterControl Quality Excellence and it is overall functional. Once you dive in things can get a little complicated, especially with search functions. It is not clear to the average user when to use the global search bar or when to use a module specific search tool. The explorer feature can help with this, but there is some setup required before harnessing its benefits.

No

The document module has full functionality in terms of housing documents, provisioning access, and revision capabilities. Users will quickly become comfortable using this part of MasterControl Quality Excellence. The Training module is very basic and does not allow robust curriculum or dynamic training pathways. It is sometimes a challenge for system admins to view audit trail details as well. The reports in the system can be limiting, especially when tailoring specific info for users.
