"ETQ Reliance QMS finally made our audit readiness feel completely in control"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

The strong point of ETQ Reliance QMS that I like most is the formidable module on CAPA. It actually assists us to make our corrective and preventive measures lean in the aspect of implementation and closure. We are able to keep track of the non-conformances and even trace them back to the root cause analysis easily. The other massive advantage is the integrated document control system. It also makes sure that everyone is at all times using up-to-date approved copies. This has made the audit preparations so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

The complexity of the setup is one of my greatest dislikes about ETQ Reliance QMS. It took us a lot of time and effort to get all setup to our specific work flows. The user interface also takes more or less outdated at times. It is not as obvious as some of the newer cloud based apps. Although it works, it certainly has a steeper learning curve than the new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Anderson of Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)

We're thrilled to hear that ETQ Reliance QMS has helped you gain control over your audit readiness and streamline your CAPA process. Our CAPA module is designed to make corrective and preventive measures more efficient and effective, and we're glad to hear it's working well for you.

I like so much the configurability of ETQ Reliance. It has a possibility to customize workflows based on our exact business procedures. This will encourage less manual work and minimal chances of compliance. The system modules included such as document control and CAPA are fantastic as well. They make all our quality information centralize. This makes tracking and reporting quite easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

It requires some amount of trouble getting set up and configured initially. It is time consuming and demands special expertise. To some extent the user interface is a bit dated compared to recent software as well. It can also seem less intuitive to navigate than it ought to. This may make new users slow in mastering the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ETQ NXG"
5/5
What do you like best about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

ETQ NXG - the SaaS version of ETQ is clean, crisp and loaded with huge number of integrated modules,

The underlying design of the modules is very scalable, easily customizable, be able to rapidly add new custom modules and yet keep same transactional integrity to the record set. The flexibility in building, integrating modules and features like audit trail, customizable workflows, application promotions etc., are some of the key elements why I like ETQ.

What do you dislike about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

Though lot many REST API features has been added, the documentation on the API usage needs to improve. Some key features like the ability for the users to save view filters and additional level of controls in View configuration and Centralized reports is missing.

Response from Angela Anderson of Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)

"Versitile software, knowledgeable support!"
5/5
What do you like best about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

As a Reliance Administrator, I love how scalable and customizable ETQ Reliance is. I can create or modify fields, views, and notifications. I can even develop custom modules within the applications, ALL WITHOUT BEING A PROGRAMMER! I can also integrate data from other modules within Reliance or from other external applications. Reliance is, by far, the best database front end I've ever worked with! I also appreciate their "User Voice" feature that allows users to make and track suggestions for future application changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

I dislike the use of several software languages throughout the system (sql, python, etqscript). It's sometimes difficult to know when to use which language. The data entry of the new user interface isn't as user friendly as prior versions, but ETQ is working to improve that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Anderson of Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)

Hi Dorci, We're glad to hear that you find ETQ Reliance QMS to be a robust and versatile platform without having to be a programmer. Keep your feedback coming!

"Finally got all our quality tasks under one roof!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

ETQ Reliance’s customizability is among the greatest advantages of the product for our organization. Arel we involve ETQ Reliance across our organization, and the flexibility in customizing distinct workflow plans for each body is very beneficial. It is a great thing how it automatically hooks up with our ERP, which makes data entry seamless and reduces the risk of duplicates from being generated. Familiarization with it enables smooth usability since we also use it every day for audit, CAPAs, and document control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

ETQ Reliance QMS appears to be outdated and somewhat become cumbersome especially if one is starting from ground zero. We often realise that it takes a lot of time to train new employees and this usually frustrates the onboarding process. It does provide some flexibility though and building your own custom workflows can be rather problematic and usually requires some assistance from administrators. Such lack of user-friendliness is an impediment to growth when you demand immediate changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Anderson of Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)

Hi Geeta, It's great to hear that ETQ Reliance QMS has helped streamline your CAPAs and audits tracking, making compliance preparation more efficient. We're pleased that the system has improved collaboration and accountability across your teams. We appreciate your feedback on aspects of the interface and we are continually improving in those areas.

"Reliance - Gets the Job Done"
4/5
What do you like best about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

ETQ Reliance is effective in maintaining a digital quality management system. It is user-friendly and provides a single source of information for the company's quality data. Since upgrading from Verse, there have been several improvements that make the system more and more worth the work that goes into the setup and maintenance. Recently, newer enhancements in Reliance CG (2020 and up) have made the system more bug-free and designer-friendly. The number of support tickets we need to create has decreased significantly from 2019 to now. The software's ability to handle advanced configurations and integrate with external software has made it all the more valuable. Flexibility is a large plus: if you know how to utilize ETQ Script, you can make the system do virtually anything. Additionally, once you purchase RC (Remote Configuration) hours, the support team is very helpful when implementing unique configurations or applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)?

ETQ Reliance is a powerful tool, but it still has its limitations. These limitations mostly appear on the designer side: while it is user-friendly, it is not always designer-friendly. My main pet peeve as a designer/administrator is that every time we update or patch, something else in the system seems to break. It has made me very cautious of upgrades. Some design limitations may make it so that users need to use annoying workarounds, such as needing to close two separate forms for one process. Lastly, the pricing structure (for yearly subscriptions, support, MAUs or CCUs, add-ons, QDL or Insights, and RC hours) is not ideal for small companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
