Currently using inbuilt features to streamline document production. Now producing out US records in less that one week, down from 10+. > > **Cons**: All the updates to make with V2 update, but pleased in the long run. Some small day 1 features missing like moving multiple steps at once in a record. > > Overall an excellent and constantly updating system for batch manufacturing records. Excited to continue to work with MX ----- ### "MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence in the Life Sciences Field" — 4.0/5 > **Joshua** | *1 August 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that we were able to move most of our paper production records into the electronic system. I also like the security of automatic timed sign outs for regulatory purposes. > > **Cons**: I dislike having to click to drill down to individual steps in a production record. It would be easier with a series of carrots and dropdowns that are instantly accessible. ----- ### "MX Is Great" — 5.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *8 October 2025* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence is its ability to eliminate paper records and provide real-time visibility into manufacturing processes. The system ensures data accuracy, traceability, and compliance by capturing information directly at the point of execution. It streamlines batch record review, reduces errors, and accelerates product release. I also value how seamlessly it integrates with other MasterControl modules like Quality Events and Document Control, creating a connected, end-to-end quality ecosystem. Overall, MX has greatly improved efficiency, audit readiness, and collaboration between production and QA, supporting our organization’s digital transformation and continuous improvement goals. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence is that system configuration and validation can be time-intensive, especially when workflows require frequent updates. Any change to forms or process logic typically involves documentation, testing, and approval to maintain compliance, which can slow down implementation of improvements. > > My overall experience with MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence has been extremely positive. The platform has transformed how we manage manufacturing and quality data by replacing manual, paper-based batch records with a fully electronic, compliant system. It has improved accuracy, traceability, and efficiency across production processes while streamlining communication between manufacturing, QA, and other departments. The ability to capture data in real time and review by exception has significantly reduced batch release times. Although implementation and validation require effort, the long-term benefits—strong compliance, audit readiness, and visibility into operations—make MX an invaluable tool in our digital manufacturing environment. ----- ### "Strong Potential for Digital Manufacturing" — 3.0/5 > **Sangmi** | *21 May 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: User-friendly and integrated platform with strong data visibility, compliance control, and manufacturing traceability. > > **Cons**: Greater flexibility is needed for workflow customization, notifications, and configuration options.. > > Overall, a positive experience with strong potential for digital manufacturing and quality excellence, though usability enhancements would add further value ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/216298/mastercontrol?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/216298/mastercontrol) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
