One of the aspects I appreciate most is the ability to customize workflows, which has enabled me to tailor the software to meet my organization's specific needs. The reporting and analytics capabilities have also been beneficial, allowing me to gain insights into our quality management processes and identify areas for improvement. Additionally, the customer support provided by ETQ has been excellent, with quick and helpful responses to any questions or issues I've encountered. Overall, I highly recommend ETQ Reliance for organizations looking for a powerful and customizable solution for quality management. > > **Cons**: In my experience with ETQ Reliance, there were a few cons that I came across. I found the software to be quite expensive, and it required a significant investment from our organization. Additionally, while the customization features are excellent, it did take some time and effort to get the hang of them. Finally, I did notice some performance issues when dealing with large data volumes, which was a bit frustrating. Nonetheless, I still believe that ETQ Reliance is a robust and comprehensive solution for quality management, and I would recommend it to other organizations in need of such a system. ----- ### "The Benefits of EtQ Reliance" — 5.0/5 > **Katherine** | *7 February 2023* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best features of Reliance outside of the ease of use is the ability to configure it to your processes. You are not restricted to something out of the box that works for some and not for all. > > **Cons**: Since moving to the cloud we have lost the ability to the database for real time information, for reporting and trouble shooting. Also, things we were able to do ourselves now are billable services such as cloning environments and dropping schemas. > > Overall Reliance is a great product, easy to use, and has been beneficial in harmonizing our many locations. ----- ### "If you can pick something else, you should" — 2.0/5 > **Haliee** | *14 April 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: There isn't a ton that I like about this system if I'm honest. My only upside would be that it can be accessed via the web? > > **Cons**: It's not aesthetic, it is not intuitive to navigate, it has difficulty parsing documents with multiple attachments without flagging that there are duplicates and preventing it from happening to begin with. > > Overall, I dread supporting our users with ETQ and I think it lacks critical quality of life features and organizations options. ----- ### "5 Star History, Uncertain Future" — 4.0/5 > **Joel** | *8 September 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Historically, VERY customer focused organization, however each subsequent time they are aquired, this "pro" seems to degrade significantly. In fairness, seems pretty standard to lose customer focus when smaller companies continually get aquired. Older versions very flexible and easy to configure. Very fast to deploy and at an amazing value compared to competitors. Newer versions less so compared to original. Still much easier to do oneself than their competitor platforms, keeping costs in check if you have an in-house resource. Marketing team is fantastic. Customer Support is generally pretty good. Level 1 support seems to suffer from turnover / lack of experience, but leadership and intention is top notch. Academy (online user training) and customer forums are GREAT. > > **Cons**: Currently going through what appears to be a philosophical pivot on their offering so the future roadmap is unclear to long time customers. Appears many new development choices are more focused on simplifying the product for the benefit of EtQ at expense of the customer and what they were originally sold. They appear to be pivoting away from flexibility as a core value by taking features away from customers. Older customers are not happy (bordering on angry), but newer customers will not know what they have lost and may be perfectly happy with the "new" value proposition. ----- ### "Quality Driven System for Multi-Faceted Healthcare company" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *30 August 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to connect records throughout the many modules allows for seamless availability of data during investigations and audits. > > **Cons**: The use of the ETQ Academy to teach users is still limited but is always improving and providing new courses for users. The ETQ Community provides even the most basic users the full knowledge of all the ETQ user world which can help with the short comings in ETQ Academy. > > We have been able to solve the our issues with document control and managing complaints and CAPAs using ETQ. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/22614/etq-reliance?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/22614/etq-reliance) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
