"Streamlined Production with Intuitive Controls"
4/5
What do you like best about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

I like how MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence has made working with production records much quicker and more intuitive. The system feels responsive and streamlined. I particularly like the review-by-exception approach, as it helps focus attention on the areas that actually require review. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, following the steps provided by the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

I think some of the UI experience could use a bit of polishing. It looks a little clunky initially, and it would be helpful to make a visual distinction between editable, completed, locked, and read-only fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mx for Life Sciences"
3.5/5
What do you like best about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

I like how everything is interconnected and traceable with MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence. It really to know where things are in the process, who's touched it, where it's going next, and how the process is working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

The setup is incredibly time-consuming and requires more bandwidth and time than we normally have. We're still working on it, and it's been more than two years. So, no, not easy. I think simplifying the setup or having outside help to set up our templates and help us with that would... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Digital, Scalable Manufacturing with Real-Time Visibility"
4.5/5
What do you like best about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

What I like most is how it makes manufacturing more digital, visible, and scalable. It cuts down on paper and manual work, strengthens data integrity, and gives teams real-time information so they can make better, faster decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence?

Some areas still take a lot of effort and repeated iteration, especially when it comes to integrations and building templates. In a complex environment, that can slow momentum and lead to rework, so I’d like to see further simplification and smarter automation in those parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good MES when switching from Paper Batch records to eBR"
5/5
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"
5/5
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.

Response from Megan Haskins of MasterControl Manufacturing...

We love to hear about time savings and error reduction when going digital! Thanks for sharing, Nicholas.

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.

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.
