"Good MES when switching from Paper Batch records to eBR"
What do you like best about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

This platform made our transition to digital records seamless. We quickly saw the benefits after implementation. Supporting the system and creating new Record Templates has also been straightforward.

We've been happy with the time savings and productivity boost. It has especially been impactful during the Quality Assurance review process. Like most life science companies, we hold our product to a very high quality standard, and MasterControl eBR has been great for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

The platform feels quite rigid at the moment. It would be helpful to have greater flexibility to configure more advanced workflows. Setting up the platform can be tedious and demands strong organizational skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Left Paper; Never Looked Back"
What do you like best about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

MasterControl has greatly improved our efficiency as an organization. The paper process was incredibly time consuming and opaque but with eBRs we can issue new records in record time. The visibility into the data and being able to look into what has been done when has been a great help. No more digging through off-site storage to find a specific record from years ago. We can all access what we need online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

It can be difficult to find the proper view when opening a record. It defaults to sections I do not need and has to reset after opening a useful section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MX for Life Sciences"
What do you like best about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

I like how everything is tied together. It makes searching for specifics much easier. This is adding efficiency and remove excess paper waste. The customer support is excellent. The number of features is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

The initial set ups and trial runs are very time consuming. This seems to be improving on it's own as it evolves. It may help to have more education prior to going "live" with the people who need to set it up. The extra add ons can be expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Haskins of MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence

We're so glad to hear that our integrated system is increasing efficiency and reducing waste. Excellent customer support is a top priority!

"Manufacturing Excellence"
What do you like best about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

I appreciate how simple it is to create templates, as well as how easy it is to duplicate and modify them when needed. I also find the global elements templates particularly useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

Maintaining the Master Template library can be challenging, especially when it comes to tasks like renaming or deleting templates. Additionally, the fact that it exists as a separate portal from Qx adds to the complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
