Aligned Element Reviews & Product Details

Aligned Elements enables the team to easily create, edit, modify and review design requirements in a single place, whilst providing a detailed and complete audit trail for all activities performed on the platform. It allows you to organise the requirements largely as you see fit, with the ability to create folder structures to nest requirements into systems and sub-systems. Having the ability to also perform HAZOP or FMEA on the platform is really useful as you can then provide a direct feedback loop into the requirements when you have mitigated risks.

Aligned Elements provide ways to integrate existing systems, such as JIRA integration, which is useful for creating tasks from requirements than can then be fed directly into a JIRA board.

The support provided by the team at Aligned Elements is also top notch, with responses to enquiries usually happening on the same day, or within an hour or so. the Aligned Elements team are always grateful for any feedback too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Often fitting all of the necessary information that is within a document object into the various screen sizes that are in use can be challenging. In our care this usually relates to verification testing, where we like to input a lot of information into the test, however I will say that Aligned Elements have gone some way into correcting these sorts of problems with a number of updates to the platform, enabling users to scale areas of the page independently.

Aligned Elements stands out for its intuitive interface, making it easy to navigate even complex documentation structures. The ability to access and organize information in the most useful way—whether through customized queries, trace tables, or filters—greatly enhances productivity. One of the most valuable features is the automatic inconsistency detection, which ensures no critical element or linkage is overlooked, supporting thorough and compliant documentation.

One area that could use improvement is the training module. As it's still quite new, it lacks the depth and polish found in the rest of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the perspective of an IT admin for that system it's perfectly customizable. You can change the process templates, mails sent by the system, create new assistants i.e. for automatic document creation. It's important to mention that the customer support is really outstanding and has a short response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that every new project creates a seperate database, so if you have many projects it has an impact on the systems performance and migrating to a later version of the system gets more difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy and compliant way for us to handle traceability, when designing a medical device. Allan our rep provides us with quick and effective support to make sure we know how to use the system and get the most out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently no downsides! We are early in our journey, but so far every problem we have faced, there has been a solution for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aligned Element offers a well-structured way to manage traceability and documentation, which is extremely helpful when building compliant and audit-ready reports. The structured templates and clear field mapping make it easier to extract data for Power BI reporting. I also like how it supports change tracking and version control — this is especially useful for maintaining data integrity across updates. The interface is intuitive once you get familiar with it, and the documentation is quite helpful for navigating key features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a bit of a learning curve at first, especially when working with integrations or setting up exports for reporting. Some datasets require manual formatting or cleanup before they can be effectively used in Power BI. While the documentation is helpful, a few more tutorials or integration examples (especially for BI/reporting tools) would make it easier to onboard new users.

That said, it’s a solid tool once you’re up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trace tables to create Input/Output matrices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Formatting capabilities, particularly in test plans. I would like better numbering capabilities. The Windows version is better, but both still seem to have issues with doing any multilevel numbering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
