It’s a great way to process transactions depending on the logic of your applications. Real-time tracking for logs can be monitored via the backend; however, we cannot pinpoint which transactional logs it is. We usually ask the DB admin to provide the ACE entry and exit logs for this. I would love to have that functionality readily available at any given time, without relying on the other team.

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.

  • Periodic review of documents is an industry standard that is missing
  • Would love a training matrix similar to the design matrix that links with procedures/work instructions
  • Ability to modify or add parameters in the analytics function for better trending metrics
  • Ability to modify or add to predetermined "lists" in CAPA, Audits, Nonconformance workspaces

Usability
It is a very great tool, user-friendly even. You just need to get your head in and immerse yourself in the tool so you can manage and tweak its configuration to suit your liking and performance. The support team is an A-plus since they are available most of the time.

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.
