I really like the personal support and the ease of use and tweakability. > > **Cons**: If you encounter an issue they are very willing to help. They can have a look with you really fast and if the problem requires an Aligned issue, they really want to improve their tool. > > We use Aligned for both risk management (dFMEA 60812 and risk analysis 14971) and requirements management. It is a no nonsense tool, with a good support team, customizable and easy to use. ----- ### "Stilla Review" — 4.0/5 > **Nicolas** | *25 May 2023* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Support Team : they are doing a GREAT job \! > > **Cons**: Queries should be more flexible, more powerful. Same for widgets. Widgets should be able to display the results of complex queries.The User Interface is difficult to grasp at the beginning.Need at least 1 to 2 weeks to understand how it is organized. > > Document generation is sooo cool \! ----- ### "AE covers 80% of the needs" — 3.0/5 > **Ivo** | *20 June 2023* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use. Great user support. Easy configurable for client's needs. Big plus: risk management included compared to other tools. Thus, traceability is easy among the artifacts. > > **Cons**: Sometimes, 2 AE windows next to each other would be useful to work efficiently -\> work around with Word export. Need to log off / on again sometimes due to bugs. > > The product helps a lot to better adhere to processes. Secondly, missing items / traces / reviews are identified with 1 click. It improves efficiency during the life cycle mgmt of a product compared to manual paper work. Even if not used every day, it is intuitive to use. ----- ### "Good tool for traceability but good bit more user friendly" — 4.0/5 > **Julie** | *7 July 2023* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that the structure of our documentation is directly reflected inside left menu and that this can be customized depending on processes the project needs to follow. This is helping to work according to our processes. > > **Cons**: Not so user friendly even if this was improved a lot the last 2 years. It is hard to remember how to use the software when it is only for sporadic use, a bit more guidance from the software would be helpful. > > It took me a long time to feel comfortable with the software but now that I know how to use it, I like it. However, until the complete development team is not using it in their daily work, we will not use all the functionalities of the software such collaboration or prioritization. ----- ### "A great tool that makes managing requirements easier" — 4.0/5 > **Sam** | *26 June 2023* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like the organisation which Aligned Elements provides. The ability to link together all items from your business needs and user needs, all the way through the design \& development process, including your hazard analysis, verification \& validation, will really help when it comes to performing a regulatory submission. With all of the key information being traced, change controlled, and managed in the same space, it is easy to follow the design process from start to finish. > > **Cons**: I feel there is definitely room to improve in terms of automating some tasks. It would be helpful to have the ability to set up reminder emails with a frequency for tasks which require completion. When adding tables within areas like a Verification test case, having the ability to set the width of columns would be helpful, as sometimes we have found that the visual aspects of a page can get a bit unwieldy, and side scrolling of a page then becomes necessary. > > Aligned Elements is so helpful to us in enabling containment of the design and development process. The team @ Aligned are also incredibly receptive to our requests for customisation, and also always quick to act whenever we have issues or bugs. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/409332/aligned-elements?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/409332/aligned-elements) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
