Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Document Control Users can collaboratively edit procedure and policy documents using Microsoft Word, Excel, and other applications, and upload files in existing format, with Document Control automatically tracking any changes. Policy and procedure documents can be approved according to lab processes, enabling department heads, lab management, and the CLIA lab director to review and approve documents with 21 CFR Part 11 compliant PINs and signatures. Employees are automatically notified by email of major revisions or new documents requiring their signature, and supervisors are alerted to any employees who have not signed. Periodic policy and procedure reviews can be delegated to appropriate users, with electronic signature to record annual and biennial reviews, and the ability to flag any documents which require revision. Users can view upcoming tasks and see which employees have completed their signoffs on the dashboard, and view, print, and export reports on approvals, employee signoffs, and more. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.4/5** | 124 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.1/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support Software | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.3/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Vastian - **Location**: Lawrenceville, US - **Founded**: 1995 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$752.00 - **Pricing model**: Usage Based (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Tiered pricing based upon total laboratory user size.

Provides Lab Director and staff with reminders to sign-off on new procedures, as well as providing notification to all staff of changes to processes and procedures when they occur. > > **Cons**: The numbers of users jumps fairly high after 25. There should be an option between 25 and 100. ----- ### "Great document control software; easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Amer** | *November 9, 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to use and provides excellent reporting functions. Updating and uploading documents is seamless and tracking functionality is second to none. > > **Cons**: Receive too many emails from database which leads to ignoring of important messages. Some aspects are not as easy to use as others and this is true of the personnel documentation section. > > Overall, MediaLab LDC has been GREAT\! We went from using an extremely buggy and unreliable SharePoint document control system to one that is seamless to use with excellent tracking capabilities, easy to upload, update and manage laboratory and personnel documents. Would highly recommend MediaLab to any laboratory especially accredited facilities. ----- ### "Not user friendly" — 3.0/5 > **Tracy** | *May 22, 2018* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's nice to have one place to store all our documents. Other than that, I really can't think of anything. > > **Cons**: It is not terribly user friendly, and non-computer literate people have a hard time navigating it. I am constantly having to talk people through its use ----- ### "This is the best document control system that I have ever used for a laboratory." — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *May 29, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Tracking of revisions and approvals is simplified by far. You can always look up retired documents for retrospective review, changes are tracked and highlighted for quick review, as are all levels of review and approvals. It's easy to get to one's to do list, and the system can be set up to send emails when there are actions for you to take. > > **Cons**: Can't think of anything that I don't like. The vendor is responsive to requests for changes. When we have asked for changes, they have been implemented in a fairly quick timeline. > > This product simplified the review and approval process, and made true document control a reality. ----- ### "Great way to stay organized" — 5.0/5 > **Meredith** | *September 6, 2018* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about this software is having one place for all of your documents, and an easy way to track who has read them. I like that you can restrict printing so there are no unauthorized copies floating around the business. > > **Cons**: I find some of the interface a little challenging to use - like the home page isn't totally intuitive. I end up using the search functions more than I normally would because things aren't laid out in a way that makes them easy to find. > > We are readying for a CAP inspection and this tool has helped tremendously to keep us organized. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/111045/document-control?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/111045/document-control) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
