Simpler is much better than our previous paper-based QMS system. Document management, including versioning and digital signatures, is hugely better. We are just now implementing CAPA and defect management, which is the last piece we needed. We are very happy with Simpler, especially their service and support, and highly recommend it.
Pros
Simpler gave us excellent pricing, customer support for understanding how to use their system and set up our QMS, and is easy to use. We can continue to use Microsoft Office for our documents. They have templates for all of the QMS sections that we could choose to use as the basis for our documents. They provided lots of hours in a structured way to work us through the migration of our paper based system to Simpler. My users have a varied level of technical sophistication with software, and everybody found the system easy to use.
Cons
My issues are pretty minor. Sometimes the software runs a bit slowly, which I think may be a server issue. Simpler does a good job in keeping track of user training, but can only do "read and understood" acknowledgement. Simpler says that they are working on automated quizzes that can be set up to verify that training was received, but that feature has not been implemented yet. We do the quiz on paper and then upload to Simpler, which is fine at our small scale.

Having an electronic QMS system, which is CFR Part 21 compliant and where all the documents are related to each other is a very good thing to support documenting that the company are in compliance e.g., during an external.
Pros
The document control is the basic feature and it works fine.
It is good that the change control controls the release of the documents, which each company self decides, so you avoid having closed the change request without released all the related documents.
That SOPs relevant for an employee is linked, so when the SOP is updated the employee automatic receives a task to read and sign for having read the updated SOP.
You need to learn the workflow and how to use the meta data, which requires practice a few times, and when that is learned, then it is easy to work with.
Cons
The possiblity for the user him/her-self to re-open recorded issues, e.g., Complaints, CAPAs, NCs and locked meta data for modification. The modification must be with traceability.
The user interface could be more intuitive, but the risk could be that experienced users would find it irritating.
Response from SimplerQMS
Thank you for your honest review, Henrik. We're happy to hear that you find our document control features to be functional and help you with compliance.
With regards to making the user interface more intuitive, then we are working on several initiatives to accomplish this. One of them is a way to visualize workflows to make the UI easier to use both for experienced and less experienced users.
Your input is invaluable to us and helps ensure that we are creating the most effective and user-friendly quality management software possible. Thank you again for choosing SimplerQMS and we hope you'll continue to find value in our product.
