### "Great Software"

January 27, 2022

5.0

It is very useful for anyone with or working towards ISO certification. Very audit friendly - would recommend.

Pros

It is extremely straight forward to use. You can train managers quickly on it and use/adoption rate is very high.

Cons

It is a bit pricey. However it is more versatile and easier to use than most major software - worth the extra costs.

Reason for choosing Qualio

Greenlight also seemed like a great product but the implementation speed and ease of Qualio was out deciding factor.

### "The solution to management of QMS activities and Events"

May 16, 2024

5.0

It has been an interesting learning experience and the solution to the tedious manual QMS. Work is simplified and distributed evenly. Is a fairly lean system.

Pros

Qualio has been improving every quarter to satisfy customer needs by incorporating suggestions for improvements made by customers and advancement of the feature available for use as per the current GMP regulations.

Cons

One has to adapt very fast with the changes to enjoy the benefits. So much good not to miss out on the advantages.

### "Good but could be better"

April 12, 2024

3.0

Pros

Document control and revision workflows are intuitive and easy to use. The application is all on the web which makes it portable. No required desktop software or storage.

Cons

\- Collaborators on the same document would be a huge win. - The editor usually does not utilize the full width of the browser. Makes editing difficult in some cases. - NO DARK MODE. This is by far my most requested feature. There is lots of documentation needed in the medical devices work and I dread the those days if I need to work on qualio. I've used chrome extensions to get around it but nothing will work as nicely as a native solution. Please introduce dark mode for your fellow software developers that have to work on qualio for days at a time. - Page timeout can also be frustrating when working on a couple of documents in parallel through the day. I've noticed at least that when I re-login, I land on the page I was originally working on, but that hasn't been consistent. - Cannot exit an attachment preview unless scrolling to the top of the window and pressing the X. That can be frustrating when viewing multiple page word or PDFs. Most of the time I end up downloading the attachment to preview just so I don't have to scroll all the way up to close it :)

### "Quality Review"

April 29, 2024

4.0

Overall, the experience with Qualio is good so far.

Pros

The best thing about Qualio is that you can customise it according to you own operations. The second-best thing about Qualio is their support team.

Cons

Document management needs to be improved a bit. Resonance Health has faced a lot of issues when people with access to create drafts created drafts without prior permission and without any need of new document. This hinders the log control in Qualio.

### "Quality is in it's name and it delivers!"

April 12, 2024

5.0

I, and the company, have had a good experience with Qualio. Though there have been a few troubled spots we have always been reassured and received the improvements that have fixed issues. We are reassured that the Qualio team is working hard to give its clients the best quality management experience possible.

Pros

Qualio is a platform that we've seen grow over the years. They are a team that strives to deliver a product that meets the needs of its clients and is continually improving upon past versions to deliver a product and experience that is unobtrusive to workflow at a reasonable cost. Their service team ensures you have what you need, and diligently works to implement needed changes if a feature is not available. It's clean and navigable. I highly recommend it for smaller businesses or startups.

Cons

We have waited on occasion past a couple of feature releases for much-needed editor and supplier management changes. The review process and audit trail are good, but change control (requesting approval to create drafts, risk assessment features, and tracking changes between versions) are lacking. Sometimes it shows large chunks of text as removed and replaced when only a few changes were made. Sometimes it shows all it's changes in rich text code which is unreadable for most.

### "Qualio disappointing"

April 22, 2024

4.0

Poor - I came in late (hardly anything was done) with the implementation and just wasn't aware of the capabilities of Qualio, and Qualio was backing out of the on-boarding process. I don't believe Qualio provided me with a good understanding of the capabilities of the system and how best to set it up.

Pros

I do like the Document Lifecycle management and the control of documents. Need the ability to have separate libraries, (i.e for Technical Documents) and not by tag!

Cons

Cost....Not much of a value when compared to manual systems Most everything in Qualio requires the same effort as a manual system (document control/life cycle is the exception, although some software offers version control!) I also resent the price increase applied this past year and the inability of Qualio to negotiate or justify the increase. We are actively evaluating other suppliers.

April 22, 2024

4.0

It is mainly positive, still early days, it would have been good to have more training and a more global presence for Qualio

Pros

Document control, supplier control, CAPA control

Cons

Setting up the system for our use was more complex than expected

Reason for choosing Qualio

Price was an important consideration, ease of use for all employees, help desk,

### "Qualio Review"

August 7, 2023

5.0

Yeah, it is good to use, good to show someone your documentation and completes the process flow with respect to the features and configurations.

Pros

It is the best document management system which consist of whatever things you required with respect to ISO standards and as well as the company standards. It can be configurable. Best interface, controlled documentation, easy to use and to show external parties.

Cons

There are no such thing that i dislike, but some sort of feature incorporation while releasing a patch or full release can be taken as feedback from current users so that the new feature or full release can contains the things which are mostly required by the end users.

Reason for choosing Qualio

I was not there while choosing the product so i can not give the pure info regarding the same.

### "AMM Qualio Review "

August 8, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with Qualio is good. It has helped our company grow and pass many audits. It also helped us reduce a headcount by serving as a document control solution. Qualio solves our companies Quality Management Software needs and helps us to maintain all of our documents in a controlled system. Qualio also helps us organize our training and events such as CAPA's and NCMR's.

Pros

The user interface is very good. It is easy to train new people how to use Qualio.The file organization and linking abilities from documents within documents is very good.

Cons

I do not like how the change control history only limits you to see the last change control. If you want to see previous change control history of older versions of a document you have to create a draft and delete it once you are finished.

### "Qualio review"

April 17, 2024

4.0

Pros

I like that it is easy to use. Has good version control. It facilitates good review process

Cons

Qualio does not keep resolved comments. When someone completes review and click ‘Mark as reviewed’ in Qualio, no email notification is received. For an existing table, adding multiple rows at a time is not possible. Only one row can be added. Unable to copy the contents across multiple rows. There is no functionality to replace one character string with another. Doesn’t notify if a particular reviewer completed review. Doesn’t allow comments by a particular reviewer if that reviewer completed review. Not possible to filter for comments from a particular reviewer. Can not add multiple rows in table. All documents in all states should be visible to all users. Can not delete comments.

### "Qualio has potential"

April 12, 2024

3.0

Overall I think Qualio has a lot of potential. It has a lot of functions which just need slight improvements before they can be fully effective.

Pros

I like the version control of documents and that minor changes can be made without sending the document for re-training. Customer service is exceptional with issue and queries being addressed as soon as possible.

Cons

The 'compare against' function is not very useful as often it highlights entire sections of text instead of the specific changes. It also shows code when changes are made to tables or images. The inability to revision control templates directly. If templates update, changes within sections have to be applied manually to documents in draft.

### "A true QMS for the Cloud"

February 8, 2022

4.0

Pros

The level of learning required to understand Qualio is very light and I have noted that new staff learn how to use it very quickly. Being able to access the software over a browser is powerful without requiring special installations and access installed and setup on a PC.

Cons

It is not easy or flexible to create a document in Qualio. I still find myself reaching for Microsoft Word for the first draft of a document as I am familiar with page setup options, formatting and layout in that application. Qualio is useable but highly annoying to use.

April 24, 2024

5.0

Pros

I have not been using it long and have not been able to use all of its features, but so far I have not had any major problems with it. It is good to know what changes have been made. We will be using it for training in the future and would appreciate your dedication and cooperation when needed.

Cons

Change control is better for us and your support.

### "Qualio for Biotech"

August 31, 2023

5.0

Qualio is an affordable option that includes all of the features you would want to see in an electronic quality management system.

Pros

Qualio provides a seamless transition from the first inquiry to the product handover. Qualio is easy to use and implement which was the most important thing when selecting a system to use at my company. I needed to ensure that employees are comfortable using a system and focusing on creating documentation and other items and not worrying about how to use the software.

Cons

As with any system there are always features that you wish existed. However, Qualio does a great job at accepting ideas and implementing them over time.

Reason for choosing Qualio

Ease of use, affordable, and the system includes all of the functions that I need. Qualio does not overcomplicate pricing and offer module add-ons which quickly add up.

August 4, 2023

4.0

Overall very satisfied

Pros

The whole management of quality system became so pleasant with Qualio compared to manual QMS. All the way from the purchase to implementation to going live all the needed support was available.

Cons

The process of implementing experienced some hick-ups with Qualio's change of employees... Document creation and management is still a bit non-optimal because text modification as in e.g., Microsoft Word is quite limited

### "Qualio Review"

August 3, 2023

4.0

Pros

Qualio is the first cloud-based QMS I've used and it was relatively easy to learn due to its no frills UI. Their platform is updated from time to time which improves the experience (for example, document editing and reviewing has been improved over the past couple years).

Cons

Perhaps out of scope, but Qualio would be great if it could be linked to some form of inventory management system. For example, in quality events sometimes specific materials need to be identified and currently there is a lot of double-entry in our system (Qualio, then in another spreadsheet or software). Also, there are some minor inconveniences that continue to exist, such as links that go to a superceded document. Perhaps there could be a feature which allows for smart linking to a specific version vs. most current version.

Our company loves that the training of our entire company Nationwide can train all at once without having to use a separate program

Pros

Getting used to this system was a challenge. But once I learned to navigate it became quite easy. I love that this program works as Quality should and is always improving.

Cons

The fact that I can not archive and retrieve expired supplier documents

### "Very efficient, user friendly tool for our QMS"

February 8, 2022

5.0

Fantastic, coming from older clunky more expensive QMS at other Pharma companies, Qualio was a breath of fresh air.

Pros

The workflows are very intuitive and with basic training a new user can navigate very easily.

Cons

There is huge potential within Qualio to add on things like calibration management or Internal audits management. So it would be great to see additional modules / use cases added. The ability to integrate with other systems is not very visible.

Reason for choosing Qualio

Cost and implementation time was way better than competitors.

### "Qualio for the win !"

January 27, 2022

5.0

We transitioned from a paper qms to Qualio and we save so much time for archiving, tracking and finding documents ! It is also much more easy and efficient to update documents.

Pros

Very nice users interface Easy to use contains mostly everything we need for an eQMS review and approval process flows well

Cons

\- it would be nice if the NCR and CAPA module could be linked to in documents (hyperlink) - Currently the comments can only be placed at the end of each document section, however if a section is long it is not the most efficient way to put comment. Comment applicable directly to the text would be ideal.
