### Most mentioned pros

- From what I’ve learned, the platform offers robust tools for document management, training, and compliance alignment… all of which are essential as we work to build and standardize our processes.
- The AQEM module has a simple and customizable workflow system with plenty of helpful features that enhance usability for end users. And you don’t have to be a software engineer to use the system or customize the workflows.
- I especially appreciate the ready‑to‑use digital forms, which are already designed around industry‑standard processes and allow teams to start working immediately without lengthy configuration.

### Most mentioned cons

- The standard forms don’t fit our business requirements, so we need to tailor the workflows and fields.
- Certain configurations and workflow customizations require significant administrative support and can become time-consuming.
- Some features that are not the focus of improvements and upgrades, creating limitations for the teams on site

### MasterControl Qx Review

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Phyllis F.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Medical Devices
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: August 2026
- 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 experience with Qx has been great. The system does what it needs to with few issues. For the most part, MC is responsive and fixes these issues. However, reporting can be challenging with data "living" in multiple reports, requiring outside services to combine them into something usable (e.g., 6 fields you need are on one report, and 3 are on another) and the "new" report solution still has many data errors and latency issues.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Hands down the best support from any QMS software company that I have personally used - and that includes bespoke systems. MasterControl really listens to its users and is actively engaged with its customer base.

#### Cons

The UI is starting to show its age and as an administrator, can be somewhat complex. However, this complexity has a purpose to keep things simple for the end user.

#### Reasons for choosing MasterControl Quality Excellence

Better features than Greenlight Guru and less expensive than Veeva

#### Reasons for switching to MasterControl Quality Excellence

Qualio was difficult to use and required a lot of training administrative time. SharePoint and Lotus Notes - while fine in their day, were past prime and no longer compliant.

Overall, we would recommend using MasterControl. They have so many tools to support you in whatever stage of the process you are in. Customer support is outstanding and we always have a quick response to the issues we are dealing with. We feel well supported and taken care of.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The Documents and training module are so easy to use. I love how multiple collaborators can work on something and you have traceability of who added what. Also, training tasks are easy to assign and automate so that you never have to fall behind. The supplier module has also been great for us so that we are able to keep track of our approved suppliers and which products they supply to us. We have even be able to indicate which markets the products are approved for which helps our demand/planning and purchasing teams.

#### Cons

The Audit module needs to be updated. When we were using it, there were many defects and work arounds that we had to use. This caused a lot of inefficiencies in our process as we had to restart multiple times.

#### Reasons for choosing MasterControl Quality Excellence

MasterControl met more of our criteria, and had better support

### Robust eQMS platform for regulated environments

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Simone B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Pharmaceuticals
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2026
- 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, my experience with MasterControl Quality Excellence has been positive. It is a reliable and mature solution for managing quality systems in regulated environments and it supports digital transformation initiatives effectively. While there are areas that could be improved in terms of usability and flexibility, the platform provides strong compliance support and helps standardize quality processes across different functions and sites. It is particularly valuable for organizations looking to move from paper-based systems to a more integrated electronic quality management approach.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

MasterControl Quality Excellence is a solid and comprehensive eQMS platform, particularly suitable for highly regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices. One of its main strengths is the ability to centralize quality processes including CAPA, deviations, change controls, training management, document control and audit management within a single integrated environment. The workflow configuration is flexible and supports compliance with GxP requirements, electronic signatures and audit trails. It also improves traceability, collaboration between departments and overall inspection readiness. The reporting and dashboard capabilities are useful for trending and KPI monitoring.

#### Cons

The platform can sometimes feel complex and not fully intuitive for end users, especially during the initial learning phase. Certain configurations and workflow customizations require significant administrative support and can become time-consuming. Some modules could benefit from a more modern and user-friendly interface, and system performance may occasionally slow down when handling large processes or extensive datasets. Reporting customization could also be more flexible without requiring advanced configuration knowledge.

#### Reasons for switching to MasterControl Quality Excellence

poor customer care by trackwise and need a different option

### Qx Docs/Training/AQEM Review

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Aubrey K.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Pharmaceuticals
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: August 2026
- 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 jumping into Qx was a huge learning curve but well worth it for the functionality and streamlining of training and document updates.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I like how seamlessly documents and training integrate together and how easy it is to find information once documents are linked. The document collaboration takes some getting used to but works very well once you understand the flow. The system is very flexible in terms of different workflows and document types.

#### Cons

The searchability of the AQEM module is pretty poor compared to documents and training. Insights does help with trending but searching for a specific quality event without knowing the number up front is difficult. Additionally, controlled printing is a little bit of a hassle and is less flexible than the rest of Qx.

#### Reasons for switching to MasterControl Quality Excellence

Integration of document management, training, and quality events.

My overall experience with MadterControl has been amazing. The 2025 Summit is my second summit attending and I’ve learned so much more about what MC can do than I knew possible!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

I use MasterControl Qx all day in my role as a Quality supervisor. The document management was the first piece we rolled out. It is so helpful to have access to the vaults (draft, released, and archived). The collaboration step is beneficial to allow multiple inputs at the same time.

#### Cons

The portion I like the least is likely more on our behalf as a company than on MasterControl. The setting up of roles and job codes has been less than ideal. The department that initially set these up phased out and unfortunately took all their knowledge with them. Coming in on the back end has not been met with positive results.

#### Pros

I'm a fan of quality excellence. It's easy to use and makes sense for our organization. Have the regulation in our quality process makes all the difference. We're small and just getting started, having gotten set up in such a short amount of time getting this implemented helped tremendously with taking one more thing off our plate.

#### Cons

There are some cons but mostly just program things I do not like or wish I could change. Working with things like AQEM a lot, I have certain ideas in mind that would work great for the specific scenario I'm in but aren't always within the realm of capabilities on MC. There are however some new additions I was made aware of coming soon that solve some of these problems!

Overall I would recommend MC to other companies. Docs and Training are easy to use and are reliable modules. It’s exciting to hear about all of the other products that MasterControl is rolling out and we are actively looking at ways in which those solutions might be incorporated in our processes to provide efficiency.

Many of them are in the works and will be addressed in the future, but right now we have to find workarounds.
