Overall wonderful experience with it, for compliance of QMS on large industry its a good option, further modification and customization can be done by changing QMS scenarios.
Analyze the opportunity of improvement with its cost is easier with this software.
Pros
Best software to implement, control and monitoring of effective quality management system, The core of quality management system like Corrective, preventive action for continuously improvement are comprehensively covered, get reported and tracked for improvement.
Lean methodologies to low down the re work cost, production burdens and loses is very good strategy which is too covered and act upon accordingly.
Human resource development i.e their training, skills level record, needs are too covered which enables smooth, faultless production.
Saas platform, remotely working is good thing to access it over multi locations.
Integration with other tools, apis is versatile data reading, which record reading direct from tool.
Quality improvement for from customer complaints is recorded in a effective way.
KPIs based dashboard which effectively monitor ROIs aswell performance of QMS and employees.
Cons
Visuals are not so interactive for large data, large data should be mandatory reading by visuals.
The linkage or effects of cost of improvement on ROI can not be analyzed on it.
BI and automation is not enough to drive QMS stratigically.

5 Star History, Uncertain Future
Reviewed on 9/8/2022
Pros
Historically, VERY customer focused organization, however each subsequent time they are aquired, this "pro" seems to degrade significantly. In fairness, seems pretty standard to lose customer focus when smaller companies continually get aquired.
Older versions very flexible and easy to configure. Very fast to deploy and at an amazing value compared to competitors. Newer versions less so compared to original. Still much easier to do oneself than their competitor platforms, keeping costs in check if you have an in-house resource.
Marketing team is fantastic. Customer Support is generally pretty good. Level 1 support seems to suffer from turnover / lack of experience, but leadership and intention is top notch. Academy (online user training) and customer forums are GREAT.
Cons
Currently going through what appears to be a philosophical pivot on their offering so the future roadmap is unclear to long time customers. Appears many new development choices are more focused on simplifying the product for the benefit of EtQ at expense of the customer and what they were originally sold. They appear to be pivoting away from flexibility as a core value by taking features away from customers. Older customers are not happy (bordering on angry), but newer customers will not know what they have lost and may be perfectly happy with the "new" value proposition.

ETQ Reliance had been set up and working, partially for several years, but when it was upgraded from 2019 to 2020, some of the forms no longer worked. Use of the software decreased as others found the software difficult to customize. Attempts to correct this with assistance from ETQ has failed so far. Management is souring on the use of this software due to a decrease in technical support.
Pros
ETQ Reliance is focused on the requirements for pharmaceutical industry with FDA compliance, but can be customized for ISO 9001 compliance. There is an extensive library of training video for each of the modules, customization of layouts and forms, and for all administrative duties.
Cons
If you are not familiar with programming software, such as Basic, customizing the program can be a challenge. Though the software comes with preset forms, if modifications are needed, the task can be daunting.
Reasons for Switching to ETQ Reliance
QMS in one package with forms to meet the requirements of ISO 9001. Needed help since I was a one man team. Data collected was searchable and reports could be customized. Was able to start using it immediately with the premade forms.- Industry: Hospital & Health Care

Pros
The ability to connect records throughout the many modules allows for seamless availability of data during investigations and audits.
Cons
The use of the ETQ Academy to teach users is still limited but is always improving and providing new courses for users. The ETQ Community provides even the most basic users the full knowledge of all the ETQ user world which can help with the short comings in ETQ Academy.
