Ease of use and large capability out of the box

The software is scaleable and provides a decrease in common document errors. Allows for faster batch release. The MasterControl team is invested in our success and are personally engaged in ensuring that success.

PROS

User friendly and very intuitive. Flexibility of templates and additional features make revisions easy and quickly issued.

CONS

Could use a better revision history module to capture the template revisions inside the system.

Reason for choosing MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence

Cost was a major factor but the real selling point was the ability to make changes internally without having to get the vendor to make them.

My experience overall is positive. Yes, there is room for improvement but this company aims for it.

PROS

Everything an end user could ever want or need from a QMS comes together in such a way that our end users believe in magic. Its really up to the company (and sometimes department) to decide what level to use the software on. Its easy to get creative with this product and really optimize a already great web based software. Everything is right there, right at your fingertips - all the time!

CONS

Sadly, the set up is not magical and not everyone can wrap their head around the system. Finding competent admins could be an issue. Everything does effect everything else in this system and you need to ahave the forsight to see and understand that. My largest complaint however is that the company could also be more forth coming with issues within their software. They have a lot of what they call bugs. I think these "bugs" are often not fully vetted until a customer points them out, then I imagine there is a lot of running around and work arounds. That said, it is a great system that works incredibly well to keep you and your company complaint.

Support services are excellent, but I feel I need to use them FAR too much

PROS

Clean look, excellent customer service from the tech services groups, but their hands are tied far too much.

CONS

SO MANY BUGS. And several times I have been told that the bugs will not be resolved because they are not high enough priority. Sales groups (who I was told to contact to push the issue) do not respond. I do not feel comfortable executing a new module when the training module essentially cannot be trusted to work with the document module

Vendor Response

We are confident that you will see a reduced number of defects in our latest and upcoming releases as well a reduction in time to resolution of the defects you do encounter.

Review of MasterControl in MFG from builder/user perspective

Overall MasterControl has been a huge success for our company. Standards of quality, tracibility and less deviations are all apparent with the implementation on MasterControl within our site.

PROS

I like the flexibility to build an electronic batch around our process. In the past I've seen process changes occur in order to facilitate lack of software configurability which is a concern. The flexibility of MasterControl eliminates that concern.

CONS

Fully integrating MasterControl with an established ERP such as SAP is a little more difficult than it first seemed. We have quite intricate batch records with a large amount of differing components. MasterControl has been open and helpful during this process, but there have been many bumps in the road.
