CQ : our QMS best friend

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: In general, great support and platform to structure your QMS

Pros:

I have been using CQ for +2 years. Since the first time that I started using it, I loved how easily you can understand performing all your transactions. In addition, it allows you to migrate different physical documents or records into the platform without losing any traceability. A highlight for us was electronic signatures 21 CFR compliant.Through this software, we accomplish on of our goals of having a 100% electronic QMS, Can't wait for the latest revision to include as part of this effort, the digital SOPs as a way to release or revise new docs.

Cons:

Probably the way the permissions sets works. The software in general is very user friendly. Nevertheless, this aspect can be improved regarding the details associated with the permissions sets to understand the impact on your transactions.

Comments: I like the program. Just wish that we were set up better and had more people interested in using it.

We are in an old version and I don't think we are set up well so there are a lot of errors and user functionality is lacking.

CQ Growth is just... WOW!!! Absolutely Ecstatic to see what is around the CORNER!

5.0 last year

Pros:

I have waited many years to find something with this type of growth potential. I have implemented the QMS modules for CAPA, Document Management and Training for multiple locations.

In addition, we have high hopes for the future and plan on expanding into the EH&S Architecture. Everything in one location is an amazing feeling and ensures a higher rate of SUCCESS!

Cons:

Satisfied Customer

Comments: ComplianceQuest truly is a one stop shop for all of your QMS needs, from EDMS to CAPA! Their staff is extremely helpful, very attentive, knowledgeable and they are quick to respond to anything that comes up. Their out-of-the box application is solid, but I love that it was customizable to meet our specific business requirements.

Pros:

I love how all of the modules interact with each other and also really appreciate the fact that they are customizable to meet our specific needs.

Cons:

I wish there was a way to leave comments within the documents in Doc Control, to more easily identify the area that may need clarifications/corrections.

4.0 last year

Comments: It does the function, it provide elements required by regulations. As an auditor, it is easy to find compliance gaps in data that user enter, as the system has too many touch points the leads to clear potential for errors in records.
Users are impatient, make this simple for users with clear and few navigation touch points. eg. for a CAPA use a flowchart map to guide user in their journey to complete CAPA and NC activities.

Pros:

Fully integrated system that links all element of QMS

Cons:

Too many touch points leading to error in data entry

Comments: The app is configurable to meet your needs. I would definitely recommend the app to others. Everything in the app is simple and easy to understand. My only suggestion to make the user interface a little more simpler in which you have you have index like sub links for the various subsections you have.

Pros:

Easy to followConfigurableInterconnected so your data can be retrieved from the same platform

Cons:

Report generation is a little complicated and doesnt allow other users to get the same level of information unless you change their roles.

All-inclusive eQMS solution for your Quality Systems management needs

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

CQ brings several QMS modules together in one tool which allows for seamless integration. The biggest pros of Compliance Quest are that it is a one-stop-shop solution (Complaints, CAPA, Document Control, etc.). This made it much easier to incorporate CQ into our organization. CQ also allows for module customization to meet our organization's unique and specific needs.

Cons:

The user interface and module flow takes some getting used to. But once trained, the user design does become familiar across all modules.

Out of 17 vendors, ComplianceQuest (CQ) was the solution for us.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: We went through a very detailed selection process when we decided to replace our other Quality Management System. Out of 17 vendors, ComplianceQuest (CQ) was the solution for us. Began planning in April of 2017, implementing in May 2017 and went live with our first module the first part of September of 2017, with Document Management. We have since been adding modules one at a time. Currently working on our Audit Module, next will be Training Module which will provide eLearning (Scorm) content to the entire enterprise. We have several more modules to go after this, but i expect it to be as smooth as the first and look forward to our continued work together. CQ has very highly skilled and knowledgeable people working on our project to make sure we have what we need and when it is needed. CQ is by far one of the best Quality Management Systems i have seen and or worked with. We liked the fact that it allowed for customization and configuration changes, but don't over think any of that. CQ's out of the box solution is great as it is. If your company has never had a Quality Management System, then it would be a good idea to go with their out of the box solution as it is almost perfect, if not perfect. We had a system in place when we purchased CQ so they helped us configure it so our employees understood it easily without to many changes. But most importantly they were able to take all of our data from the old system and pull it into the new system and we kept all of our historical records. They also helped us transfer all of our Historical Training records from 2 other system. At the end of our work together they will also be pulling all of our CAPA and Non Conformance's from yet another system, which i suspect will be an easy task for them. Honestly i couldn't recommend a better system or a better group of people to work with. Keep up the good work CQ, we have a couple more years to go!

Pros:

System Integrations with other systems Customization Configurable User Automation CQ helped us pull in our historical data from 5 other systems. So now we have one system of record. Everyone is very knowledgeable Support was very fast Their out of the box system is really all that is needed, but it is highly customizable and configurable.

Cons:

From our side we wanted to customize everything, which was possible, but not recommended by CQ. We did do some customization that had to be rolled back, but that was on us.

Highly Configurable and Practice Changing

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: We found ComplianceQuest to be our best option out of over 8 in depth demonstrations and reviews of competitive software. After weeks of selection, we were not disappointed in our choice. We found CQ to be highly configurable to meet our unique business needs, but also challenged us to change they way that we do things to provide efficiencies and stay within the software. The dedication and support was excellent from the start and before we had even selected them, and remains consistent. We have few issues, and the issue we have had are resolved in little time. The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is the new lightning experience (not required), looks pretty, but has been both a challenge to learn and use. Our company is not a fan of it, and continue to use classic experience.

Pros:

Highly Configurable and Challenged us to change our ways for efficiency and software features.

Cons:

New Lightning Experience leaves a lot to be desired, but it is not required.

Great product, support, and people to work with!

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

We have rolled-out CQ across our company to automate various elements of QMS requirements such as Document Management, Complaints, Non-conformances, Corrective Action (8D and A3), Supplier Management and Audit Management. We have been using the software for more than 2 years. We are glad to see how well the system is being used across the company. We have several thousand users on the system currently and working to scale the usage further. CQ solution has been configured to meet our needs, works elegantly across languages, across time zones, and business verticals. With integration between CQ and SAP to exchange critical data, the process automation provides a lot of productivity. CQ configuration team and support have worked hard to ensure that our needs continue to be met. They consistently go above and beyond. We cannot be more pleased with our use of CQ QMS capabilities and would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a modern cloud based EQMS solution especially if you want a scalable EQMS solution.

Cons:

Since it's built on Salesforce platform and web based, more clicks will be necessary.

Comments: ComplianceQuest will provide your company the opportunity to reach a new level of Quality Management. Everything from the well thought out and configured out of the box solution, to the system validation scripts, tractability matrix and end user guides, ComplianceQuest sets the standards high! Their customer service is superb, their employees are dedicated to the success of your project and learning about your company to ensure appropriate and effective solutions are provided. All quality leaders at Aphria Inc. have been very pleased and excited to launch all the capabilities ComplianceQuest has to offer to ensure quality remains our highest priority!

Pros:

ComplianceQuest has a relatively small learning curve. The UI is extremely easy for users to navigate and all modules are created in a similar way. The customer service is outstanding. The employees are very knowledgeable of the system and take the time to learn your business to ensure the proper solutions are deployed.

Cons:

We implemented ComplianceQuest in a very short time, so some features/ capabilities were overlooked.

ComplianceQuest: excellent solution for a paperless validated QMS

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: A modern powerful QMS is both a foundational core system and a great sales tool as a medical device manufacturing/operations service provider.

Pros:

As a Life-Sciences manufacturing services startup, our company decided early on that a flexible, agile QMS was a must. We had a very clear set of requirements: cloud-based, cross-platform, mobile-enabled, paperless, e-signature capable. After reviewing available solutions against these, only CQ met our needs. Right after the demo, we knew we had a winner. The implementation process was relatively smooth and our solution engineer was top notch. We went live a couple of months ago and recently aced through our first customer external audit. If you are searching for a modern, flexible and powerful QMS solution for a forward-looking company, look no further: CQ is your answer.

Cons:

We'd like to see the Visualforce to Lightning transition to be completed. This would make the user experience more consistent.

ComplianceQuest

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall a great experience! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality platform

Pros:

I got to work with ComplianceQuest while implementing a new software for the company that I currently work for. The implementation team that assisted with the development and deployment was incredible. Always well prepared, willing to help out at odd hours and able to take and fulfill almost all of the odd or weird customization requests that we made throughout the process. Overall a great experience.

Cons:

Only thing I was disappointed with at all was the time frame it took to get the job done, while the sales reps made it sound like it would be a 4-5 week job, it ended up being a 6 month implementation period to get it live. This was partially due to different factors that were out of their control however so it certainly is not a deal breaker.
