Reviews of TrackWise
Customizable software with limitless depth of information and detail.
Pros:
Trackwise was used in house to create and manage CAPAs, Nonconformances, and SCARs. As a user the software offered many fields and options to complete required information and details set by our company's QMS policies and procedures.
Cons:
This may be more of a fault of the internal training team that on-boarded new users, but the system's workflows and document/record creation is not instantly intuitive. Upon initial login, navigation within the software was not easy to understand, especially when it came to creating the different record types available and how that records establish a parent/child relationship with each other.
TrackWise Review
Pros:
All of TrackWise's features are easy to use through Salesforce. The DMS, EQMS, and TMS have all been easy to use.
Cons:
The classic versus lightning view can be slightly confusing but it is manageable.
Incredible
Comments: Sparta Systems does one thing very, very well...they market their TrackWise QM software like no other. The fact that such a poorly designed, unusable piece of software is at the heart of quality systems in an important industry such as pharmaceutical manufacturing is mind boggling and, frankly, quite scary. Nobody talks about how terrible it is...of course no one sings its praises either - with the exception of Sparta's own marketing and PR teams. They must have a 100:1 ratio of marketers to developers
Pros:
There are no pros when it comes to TrackWise except replacing it
Cons:
The fact that you could build a system in Microsoft Access with more features and far better usability than that of TrackWise

But, our support team can offer guidance and help troubleshoot. We also provide an automated validation package that makes upgrading easy, fast, and cost-effective. As you mention, we are at the core of quality systems. We have about 1M users across 700+ implementations, in 30+ countries. We're committed to our clients and continue to invest in TrackWise. Our upcoming release was built in collaboration with 75 enterprise beta customers. Many exciting new features and enhancements are on the way! So, we look forward to continuing this dialogue. We want you and your organization to get the most value from TrackWise!
Trackwise is very user friendly, efficient database. Our auditors really enjoy working in it.
Comments: We were able to create and implement a database that was simple yet met the needs of the business, users and clients.
Pros:
The software is very easy to use for both auditors and clients. We were able to configure the system to do exactly what we needed without having to modify our processes to fit the database. We were able to make the database fit our processes. In the past, with other databases, we needed to change our processes to make them fit to what the database could handle. Trackwise was totally configurable so we didn't have to worry about changing our process while trying to train users to the new system. The auditors feel it really makes it easier for them to get their jobs done and clients report that they really like the system because it is so easy to use. Changes to the system are super easy as well.
Cons:
There really isn't anything we don't like about the software. This is the 4th database I have used since joining Quality Assurance and it is by far the most configurable and easiest to use. The support team was wonderful to work with and enhancements to the system are easy to do.

TrackWise - not for the faint of heart but highly customizable
Comments: The company I worked for before I retired needed a new CRM application that had a huge list of specialized requirements due to a host of government (FDA) regulations. I joined the project in year 4 of a 5-year effort so was not able to take the training and get the experience with the product the other team members had, which was a disadvantage for me. During this 5-year project there were many software updates to TrackWise... most of which were good or even initiated by us; but some caused re-design of our user interface or interfaces to other system, which partially delayed deployment.
Pros:
I liked the fact it was highly customized, even though it was a lot of work to set up, you could make the database have exactly the data points we needed and the screen display could look exactly the way we wanted it to, without having a pre-designed template for a different industry (or something else not useful).
Cons:
The training for developers and administrators is very extensive and also very expensive. While much of it can be done on-line, most of the training materials only make sense when you are walked through it by a knowledgeable instructor... in person in MA or on-line. Steep learning curve
