Reasons for Switching to Orcanos

Pros

Easy to use, convenient interface.
It is very nice and convenient to be able to upload a document by drag and drop

Cons

There are many bugs in the system, and the technical service does not always know how to solve the problem.
After opening a call in the system, it takes between two and three days for the first response (and the truth is that only [SENSITIVE CONTENT] manages to solve my problem)

Pros

Very organized and flow-oriented SW. Easy to doc control and ensure that all the personnel signs the procedure in a timely manner. In addition, it is easy to implement the folders and sub-folders for auditing purposes

Cons

Some of the features are not user-friendly (i.e. 'protected docs'). We as a company are using a different SW for development and CAPA procedures as the Orcanos solution is too expensive to allow significant number of users, and since CAPA usually requires multi-users, this is not implemented in our company

Pros

Web based application is accesible from everywere by those who were defined by role.
Everything is orgenized and traceable keeping changes history.
It allows to keep implementation and testing coverage updated.
The system allows quick and most updated reporting including printable format.

Cons

Some features like Customer Complaint still requires a desktop application for generating document report.

Pros

I have been using Orcanos for the past year. It is the only tool I use for document management. I use it to manage my work documents, and to keep track of my to do list. It's a great tool to help me get things done. I use it from my phone to review my to do list. It's easy to use and I like that it allows me to organize my documents by people, projects, stages, or products.

Cons

Thank you for the ease of use it provides, it generally saved me valuable time and worked without any problems. Sometimes it may run slow depending on your internet speed, but here the problem is with the user. Thanks orcanos for a perfect experience.

Pros

Orcanos has excellent accountability regarding document control with the amount of tracked changes it has, along with archiving all other versions for historic needs.

Cons

The system can be a little slow when there are multiple users on at once, and the file structure can be dauting when first using it.

Pros

Haldor adopted Orcanos few years back, in order to support our QMS and ALM. I wish to first say that the team at Orcanos has been a great resource and support for haldor, being a part of our team. Together with Orcanos, we recently passed our ISO 13485 audit, presenting comprehensive quality management processes, including document control, and risk matrix integrated to our design controls - everything managed in the Orcanos system!
In short, simple tool, yet strong, integrated, so we didnt have to acquire 2 systems, professional and responsive team, and great help in our audits

Cons

No cons, actually, I would like to see more integrations, but I know Orcanos is now using Zapier, which is great, and maybe more tutorials

Pros

Does everything we need it to do; almost everything within the system is configurable; support is available to help whenever we get stuck; have been through a few customer audits and audits from external bodies since implementing the system and all of the auditors have been very impressed.

Cons

Getting your head around the admin module is quite daunting at first. It's second nature to me now, but at first it took me a while to work it out. Once it clicks, it's a very easily configurable system and I only get stuck on the odd occasion.

Pros

The product provides one stop shop for small and medium size medical companies. No need to use another tools in your development process for documentation

Cons

BOM management is yet not mature enough.

Pros

The option to share document, sign them, track them

Cons

It is not easy to change your mind in case you need to remove a document

Pros

the option to collaborate and simultaneously work as a team on a certain project.

Cons

The tracing mode is sometimes confusing.

Pros

The software is web based and has a very comprehensive level of functionality. It covers requirements management, document control (including electronic signatures), Risk evaluation & management, software test cases and a large amount of pre-built templates.
Customisable data dashboards can be created for individual users or groups displaying any data from the internal processes, such as outstanding tasks, digital signature progress, etc.

Cons

The training module is overly complex, but this is being updated.

Pros

The fact we have one place to check if we have done our trainings or not

Cons

It is impossible to find its way across the product. Here are the steps to find my trainings: (1) select a project that somehow might have changed (2) select a way to display the items (3) select the right row on the left menu, then find your trainings. This blows my mind each time I use it. And every 2 months I have to re-ask colleagues how to do it.
On top of this, the flow is top-right > top-right > mid-left > mid-screen. There is absolutely no UX logic in this.
Finally, why can I see what my trainings my colleagues have done? This is absolutely not relevant to me. It just pollutes the useful part of my screen.

Pros

1. very easy to open and sort folders and files.
2. very easy to track changes.
3. good UI overall

Cons

Some files are protected and need to "XML " removed from them, which is a bit uncomfortable.
Routin sometime have bugs in which not all added single signers are actually added to the signatuers round.

Pros

A deep system of traceability with a lot of practical features

Cons

This software works differently than other software. Thus it is not easy to present to our colleagues, and it is difficult to make them understand how powerfull it is.

Pros

the holistic approach that integrates QMS, DMS, Design controls and risk management in one product and the ability to connect documents and processes in a way that enable a relatively small team to manage huge amount of data and keep traceability.

Cons

Some annoying UI aspects that need improvement and rework (Great support from the Orcanos team though)

Pros

Once you learn Orcanos, it does become easier to use for document management.

Cons

The training modules can be a little complex

Pros

The Q-Pack software is very easy to use.

Cons

Sometime we have some bugs but the Orcanos custoomer support use to resolve it.

Pros

Traceability matrix ,create many filters

Cons

Slow responses in web page refresh
High cost per user account

Pros

Flexible
Quick Customization for personal needs
Fast technical support
Support of advanced filters using SQL DB

Not all filters exposed to regular user (some advanced filters supported only for advanced SQL users)

Pros

Very easy to create and maintain traceability between various items (e.g., requirements, risks, tests).
Automated generation of documents from database items.
Very convenient Document Management System.

Cons

I'd like to have more flexibility in creating word documents.
I'd like to have more tools in batch editing items.

Pros

Intuitive, quite fast , customable, service & support

Cons

Administration management, Document generation app is not intuitive and filtering items isn't straight forward, some issues of stability

Pros

Orcanos offers many useful functions, such as linking between documents and routing signatures.

Cons

Orcanos is often difficult to navigate. It'd be helpful to have a master bucket to search for relevant documents to a certain topic.

Pros

Orcanos covers all the essentials of the quality management process with its advance functions.

Cons

Orcanos could be offered for a much cheaper price and their customer support could be better.
