Not much to dislike, it's pretty straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After first being a user of ACE at CSK Behring for a year, I was able to install this eQMS with under 10 hours of billable time for a startup client that included LMS, Doc Management, eSignatures, a core set of SOPs and assign training, and 15 new users with no external help from paid contractors from the vendor aside from the several included live training sessions on the system they provided. It's that easy, I'm not a programmer, I'm a biotech quality professional. Within three days managers were approving SOPs and specifications on their own, employees were completing Level 1 training on their own and I had metrics built on training compliance. Going forward it took about 30 min a week for the routine sysadmin tasks and no dedicated IT support was needed. As far as features, Master Control, Veeva, TrackWise, Qualio and Documentum do not come close in terms of ease of searching for a file, route and review and especially how intuitive the LMS is for setting up training curricula by role and even accounting for classroom session attendance. Most users who have used one of the prior QMS find ACE to be something they don't need any training on once they get a 5-10 min demo, it's that intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We liked ACE Essentials so much we tried to (or wished we could) do things it's not intended for. You can issue a master production formula and batch records for each lot with it no problem, and we immediately tried to figure out how to avoid buying an ERP system to assign and manage lot number assignments for 200 master and working cell banks and disposition actions. ACE Essentials isn't designed to include that it's also not intended to be a stand alone material management system but we certainly tried to put off ordering SAP or RedPrairie-like product to keep as much as we could in ACE Essentials.

The ease of use and creating workflows. The user interface is friendly and you can tailor it to your business' needs. We have tailored ours to match our SOP forms, and it works like a charm. We are a cGMP manufacturing company of OTC goods and with ACE, our QMS has not been as organized as it has been with ACE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike. I know some users were perturbed at the amount of signing in to ACE (specifically when you enter your username and password when signing off a document), but this is cGMP, it has to be done. They got used to it and I have not heard any complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The absolute best thing about ACE is that it can be customized to the needs of your organization. Unnecessary steps are eliminated, special steps for your organization can be inserted, etc. Fantastic ability to customize. This is in stark contrast to most other programs that are very rigid with no customizable features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The absolute best thing about ACE, its customizability, can also be its worst feature if used improperly. When setting it up, it is critical that the right amount of time and effort be put into setting up all of the customizable features. If not, you are setting yourself up for failure. In a case like this, ACE would be no different than any other program that poorly fits an organization's workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an intern with only entry-level skills, I found ACE easy to navigate. The software is clearly designed with the user in mind. The design is simple, its functionality is practical, and there is a comprehensive help manual available. ACE also presents the workflow of every user involved in a project, so you can quickly see which documents your coworkers have edited. It also documents what changes were made, so that duplicate edits do not occur. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unless you are an administrator, changes made to documents in ACE are quite permanent, meaning users need to be careful about what edits they save. (For the sake of document security, it is nice to know that all document changes will be recorded, mistakes and all.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ACE is a highly customizable system, so that the same function can be used for multiple purposes. Countless ways to customize the workflow makes it very powerful and suitable for plenty of usages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since ACE is highly customizable, the user manual could be better explained to help the user understand/create all possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
