Qualio did not appear to be as robust a solution as Greenlight Guru, and in particular, did not have as strong of design control and risk management capabilities for medical devices. MasterControl was too involved and expensive, and the extra benefits that MasterControl …

Paradigm 3 Document Management Software is a less user-friendly version compared to Greenlight Guru. There is no change order process, and there are many "settings" required for one person to view, edit and print documents.

The interface and usability of Greenlight Guru seemed better, and the ability to make and control changes was easier.

Greenlight Guru was a cloud-based software specifically geared toward medical device companies. The software was easy to use and the price was a good value for the product.
Chose Greenlight Guru
If you are looking for a medical device specific eQMS that you do not need to customize, Greenlight Guru is for you. With most of the other eQMS solutions out there, they are not industry specific, so you have to customize it to meet your needs. They also have built in …

Greenlight Guru was specific for medical devices, easy to use and great customer service is what made us choose them.

We evaluated all 3 companies at the same time when we were "shopping" for an electronic quality management system solution. We spoke with other users about their experiences and received extremely positive feedback from 2 current Greenlight Guru clients. The clients highlighted …

Chose Propel Software
A major requirement for us was the ability to have a traditional ECN workflow, with multiple documents changed on the same workflow; most eQMS solutions do not include this capability. That ruled out several solutions for us. We selected Propel primarily because the cost was …
Chose Propel Software
The company chose it and I have inherited their decision. At the end of the day, it seems like they made a good decision.
Chose Propel Software
Propel stands out the best among them in terms of cost-benefit ratio. Its UI design, Salesforce features, customer support, complex handles themes, and algorithms are very much according to the standards. Though there are some issues that need to be addressed by Propel soon in …

Greenlight Guru is great for any company that wants to track or assign training. This system is also great for hosting quality system or non-quality system documents for the organization for employees to view or access at any time. This system is not great for billing, customer success, or sales-related tasks.

Propel is a solid choice for any company currently using Salesforce and with the ability to manage a configurable system. It would not work well in cases where a company needs a lot of guidance to set up processes the way that they want. It has a fairly intuitive user interface, and adoption for less-tech-savvy employees is straightforward. Economically, it works better for companies with minimal "non-email" users, such as production floor personnel, since all users in the training system will have to have licenses.

We evaluated all 3 companies at the same time when we were "shopping" for an electronic quality management system solution. We spoke with other users about their experiences and received extremely positive feedback from 2 current Greenlight Guru clients. The clients highlighted the fact that they used Greenlight Guru in their audits, even with the FDA, and it went well. Greenlight Guru had comparatively more in-depth resources for SOPs, forms, and Work Instructions. Additionally, they have already made a name for themselves as general educators on Regulatory/Quality matters, as they run one of the few podcasts for the industry that are available. On the contrary, we had a very poor experience with the salesperson from Qualio, and had the impression that all documents would need to be manually created (couldn't just be uploaded), and there was a significant amount of work required to implement. (Conversely, the GG users said that implementation was quick, and only took a few months to get it up and running in a compliant manner.) For QT9, a current user gave a very poor review, and emphasized that it was not customizable, alerts could not be turned off, and that design controls were not part of the program. Since we required design controls as part of our QMS, we eliminated this product from our consideration.

Propel stands out the best among them in terms of cost-benefit ratio. Its UI design, Salesforce features, customer support, complex handles themes, and algorithms are very much according to the standards. Though there are some issues that need to be addressed by Propel soon in terms of Preview collaboration and variant management. Report generation is also one area that needs to be taken care of.
