SimplerQMS works extremely well for our medical device startup

Simpler is much better than our previous paper-based QMS system. Document management, including versioning and digital signatures, is hugely better. We are just now implementing CAPA and defect management, which is the last piece we needed. We are very happy with Simpler, especially their service and support, and highly recommend it.

PROS

Simpler gave us excellent pricing, customer support for understanding how to use their system and set up our QMS, and is easy to use. We can continue to use Microsoft Office for our documents. They have templates for all of the QMS sections that we could choose to use as the basis for our documents. They provided lots of hours in a structured way to work us through the migration of our paper based system to Simpler. My users have a varied level of technical sophistication with software, and everybody found the system easy to use.

CONS

My issues are pretty minor. Sometimes the software runs a bit slowly, which I think may be a server issue. Simpler does a good job in keeping track of user training, but can only do "read and understood" acknowledgement. Simpler says that they are working on automated quizzes that can be set up to verify that training was received, but that feature has not been implemented yet. We do the quiz on paper and then upload to Simpler, which is fine at our small scale.

Reason for choosing SimplerQMS

Price, feature set, ease of use, and most importantly support and help with setup/startup.

Vendor Response

Thank you for choosing SimplerQMS, Subba! We're glad to hear that you're satisfied with our product and our customer support. It's great to know that our software is easy to use for your team and that you find our templates helpful. Document controls, versioning, electronic signatures, and Microsoft Office Integration are some of the most popular features among our customers, so we're happy to hear that those are also working well for you. Regarding the speed issue, you should not be experiencing this problem. We have reached out to you to find the root cause and fix it. Our automated Quiz (Training Assessment) feature is now released, so you can benefit from this improvement instantly. Thank you for being a SimplerQMS customer and for your continued feedback!

SimplerQMS

Great service and support. Easy to get started. Well working in document control.

PROS

- Easy to create and sign documents - Well-working document control and overview of audit trail

CONS

- The organization needs to adapt to using meta data

Vendor Response

Thank you for your honest review, Sanne. We're glad to hear that you find SimplerQMS easy to use and that find our document control capabilities well-working. It's true that metadata can take some getting used to, but it's a powerful way to organize and find your documents quickly. We often see that our customers get a much better structure of their data and improve their ability to easily find information due to the use of metadata. We hope you'll continue to find value in our product.

Review by healthtech start up

Amount of manual work have decreased with SimplerQMS. Especially document workflow is now less prone for errors. Email reminders and periodic tasks have helped to minimize calendar reminders.

PROS

SimplerQMS offered possibility for ISO 13485 compliant document management and processing. Automated options of the system have minimized our manual work. Simpler team offers their full and easy-to-access support for the customers and have free of charge templates available. System integration was flexible and could be scaled to our small team.

CONS

Sometimes short connection problems prevent use of the system. System is relatively new on the market and has included some bugs.

Reason for choosing SimplerQMS

Possibility for customer-specific tailoring looked more easy than with other options. Customer communication and service was excellent from the first contact.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your kind words, Jaana! We're glad to hear that our QMS software system has been able to help minimize your manual work and improve document workflow. Our team is passionate about providing excellent customer service, so it's great to know that we've been able to exceed your expectations. With regards to the short connection problems, then this should not be happening and needs to be fixed. Our support team will reach out to you and work on finding a solution. We recognize that we had some issues in the early versions of SimplerQMS, which have now been fixed. Please reach out at any time to our helpdesk or hotline if you experience any new issues. Thank you again for choosing SimplerQMS, and we hope you'll continue to find value in our system.

Review of SimplerQMS

Having an electronic QMS system, which is CFR Part 21 compliant and where all the documents are related to each other is a very good thing to support documenting that the company are in compliance e.g., during an external.

PROS

The document control is the basic feature and it works fine. It is good that the change control controls the release of the documents, which each company self decides, so you avoid having closed the change request without released all the related documents. That SOPs relevant for an employee is linked, so when the SOP is updated the employee automatic receives a task to read and sign for having read the updated SOP. You need to learn the workflow and how to use the meta data, which requires practice a few times, and when that is learned, then it is easy to work with.

CONS

The possiblity for the user him/her-self to re-open recorded issues, e.g., Complaints, CAPAs, NCs and locked meta data for modification. The modification must be with traceability. The user interface could be more intuitive, but the risk could be that experienced users would find it irritating.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your honest review, Henrik. We're happy to hear that you find our document control features to be functional and help you with compliance. With regards to making the user interface more intuitive, then we are working on several initiatives to accomplish this. One of them is a way to visualize workflows to make the UI easier to use both for experienced and less experienced users. Your input is invaluable to us and helps ensure that we are creating the most effective and user-friendly quality management software possible. Thank you again for choosing SimplerQMS and we hope you'll continue to find value in our product.

The easy way to implement a QMS

SimplerQMS has given us the means to be able to implement a MDR environment while our whole team is only 5 people

PROS

Creating a controlled quality environment in a way that reflects the workflow without blocking you

CONS

No Apple based app, but the webbrowser works perfectly

Reason for choosing SimplerQMS

More suited for MDR implementation

Reasons for switching to SimplerQMS

An eQMS was needed to be able to control our MDR implementation

Thank you for choosing SimplerQMS, Dick. We're glad to hear you find our product easy to use and that it's been a good fit for your needs. Our team is passionate about making quality management simple and accessible for everyone, and we're happy to know we've been able to help you achieve your goals.

Pioneering SimplerQMS

Spending most of my day using SimplerQMS, I would say I am very pleased with the ease of use.

PROS

The migration from an old paper-based system to a digital system is a great advantage in itself. Everybody now knows where to find the information they need. Our Notified Body required us to use a digital system, and transferring documents to them is much easier

CONS

Some of the workflows are not logical to me, so I have had to learn instead of understand

Reason for choosing SimplerQMS

Mainly because it suited our need best, and because it is based in Denmark, so we can get help in Danish

Vendor Response

Thank you for choosing SimplerQMS Dorthe, and for taking the time to write such a positive review. We're glad to hear that you find our software easy to use and that the migration from your old system has been smooth. With regards to improving the user experience for some workflows, this is something we are currently working on. We will be releasing a new way to see workflows using a visual overview, which will make it easier to understand and learn how they work. Our goal is to make your work as efficient as possible and we appreciate your feedback so that we can continue to improve our product.

Professional QMS tool with great support team

Overall the SimplerQMS Platform solves our need for a QMS system. As the administrator I have only had good experiences with the platform as well as the team behind. If errors occur They are easy to get hold of and it is easy for us to get help.

PROS

SimplerQMS provides the needed overview for us. It helps us to track document trails and secure timely signatures and assignments.

CONS

Users using MAC needs to run the program a bit different which sometimes makes it hard to give directions.

Reason for choosing SimplerQMS

Best stomach feeling - and easy to get started.

Vendor Response

Thank you for choosing SimplerQMS, Louise. We're glad to have you with us and that you find our eQMS platform helpful! I'll be sure to pass on your compliments to the team. We understand that using a Mac can be a little different. A new web version of our software will be released soon. The new web User Interface will look like the Windows application and will therefore make it easier to give directions to Mac users.

NFI, LLC Implementation Review

Overall I had a great experience with the SimplerQMS team.

PROS

The hands on training and workshops made it easier to learn the flow of the software.

CONS

The initial learning curve was steep, and being the only employee in the company working on implementation made it that much more challenging.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for your kind words, Bryan! We're glad to hear that you had a great experience with our team and that you found the hands-on training and workshops helpful. We understand that the initial learning curve can be steep, especially if you're the only employee in the company working on implementation. We value feedback like yours on how we might be able to further streamline the implementation process and make sure that customers like yourself receive as much training and support as needed - even when only one person is on board. We appreciate your time in providing us with this information, and should you ever need assistance again, don't hesitate to reach out at any time. Thank you again for your review!

Customer Feedback SimplerQMS

Highly recommendable system, good price-performance ratio, best customer service ever experienced for any software application in 15 years business life

PROS

The system comes in a pre-validated state, easy-to-use, covers all requirements that are defined in FDA part 11. Great customer support.

CONS

A functionality for the documentation of classroom trainings is currently missing. Additionally, the upside of having a pre-validated system comes with the downside that it is not possible to adapt certain features to company specific processes.

Reason for choosing SimplerQMS

Very good price-performance ratio

Reasons for switching to SimplerQMS

System was not user-friendly and too complex, lack of functionalities, insufficient customer service

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Ursina! We're glad to hear that you found SimplerQMS easy to use and that it covers FDA Part 11 requirements. We're very glad to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our customer service team. I'll be sure to pass on your compliments to our team. Today you are able to create classroom training documentation today based on templates. However, we noted the need for a dedicated and more automated classroom/on-site feature. This is therefore being developed and will be a part of our upcoming release. We understand that every company has its own specific processes and it's not always possible to configure a pre-validated QMS software system to exactly fit your needs. However, our newest releases are adding more configuration options that are still pre-validated. This means that you get the best of two worlds: A time and cost-saving pre-validated system and the possibility to configure it (within certain limits). Thank you for using SimplerQMS!

SimplerQMS from the software developer's perspective

SimplerQMS surely does keep track of all documents and allows for "final" versions generation. I don't have any experience with other systems like SimplerQMS to make a reliable comparison.

PROS

I can use the product within the web browser which does not require any additional software installation.

CONS

It is Word documents based - tracking an issue requires constant opening and modifying of the documents, creating new versions etc. and is not that clear as using web-based ticketing system (e.g. Jira). Furthermore, comparing two versions of a document, to see the differences only, is not possible. Or, at least, I didn't find that option.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your honest feedback, Mike. We're glad to have you as a customer and we appreciate your input. Many of our users love the seamless editing experience, where documents are opened directly in Word, Excel, etc. and changes are instantly saved without manual up- and downloading of files. It also enables you to re-use all of your current QMS documents, when moving to SimplerQMS. However, we do understand that some users prefer a non-document-based way of working. Regarding the possibility to compare two documents, then this is possible today. You need to right-click on the document and choose to Compare > Compare with Another Version. Please feel free to reach out to our support if you need any help with this. Thank you for your feedback and for choosing SimplerQMS!
