Great QMS compared to more heavyweight, more costly, harder-to-understand, legacy QMS software in MedTech. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros lightweight and browser friendly. Beginner-friendly and only needs small amounts of training to teach new users. #### Cons Need more capability to pull things back to avoid having to start over if things need to be corrected. --- ### Awesome QMS - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Lynda M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Medical Devices - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, the QMS has been great and well received by all individuals at my company. The customer support received has been outstanding. There is always a quick response when questions are submitted online. And the dedicated customer specialist that I can schedule 1:1 time with to guide me through certain questions or show me how to do something is amazing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The quality processes are customizable to conform to the needs of my company. And being able to assign tasks to internal personnel as well as suppliers is truly valuable. Between the online classes offered prior to implementation and the dedicated project manager put the learning curve to a minimum. #### Cons I would like to see the implementation of version control. Additional information may be received after an approval is completed, or after the entire process is closed. Being able to have version control with the same quality process number would be helpful. Especially when trying to document hard deadlines such as FDA MDR reporting. The cost is a little on the high side. It would be helpful to have "shared licenses" as I have seen with other software. There are many individuals within my company that only occasionally on Arena. So being able to "share" a license instead of having to pay for multiple would encourage an expanded use of the system and features #### Reasons for choosing Arena QMS Arena QMS was selected after evaluating alternative quality management systems based on overall functionality, integration capability, scalability, and total cost of ownership. #### Vendor response Thank you for your thorough review of Arena QMS, Lynda. We're glad you find the system's configurability, our customer support, and the ability to collaborate with suppliers valuable.
