Cority Recensioner

Cority - An excellent solution

Kommentarer: Overall we are very happy with Cority - their Cority Acadamy for additional training is excellent, the user community is great for picking the minds of those who know a lot more and if you need to log a support request they a fast and effective and explain things clearly and slowly. (Possibly one of the best support teams I have used)

Fördelar:

Cority supplied us with our own dedicated implimentation consultant ([sensitive content hidden]) who was extremley knowledgeable - They provided us with excellent training which made the move from our old clunky system to Cority GX-2 a fairly painless experience

Nackdelar:

As a large Occupational Health team looking after 15,000+ employees and numerous external contract there are a couple of things missing - it isn't easy for our recruiters to search the dashboards, although I understand Cority are working on a solution for future releases.Also we do a huge amount of blood tests daily and there is no ability for us to connect a label printer that allows us to label blood samples - this is a major failing of this solution.

Cority is the mystical unicorn for EHS software

Kommentarer: My employer had just finished implementing the software when I was hired. I was asked to record the minimum amount of data for compliance purposes. However, I soon realized that Cority was the holy grail for EHS management software and the tool could do so much more for the utility if we used it more. When I started perhaps 10-20% of the utility used Cority as an end user. By showing the utility how easy it is to use and showOmg executives that helping us campaign for regular use would allow us to provide more guidance for improving our systems and programs, we reached about 75-80% timely event reporting and usage.

Fördelar:

It’s easy to use, collects the data you need to be in compliance and develop strategies to improve your EHS systems and programs.

Nackdelar:

I lobe everything about Cority. I don’t think I’ve run into a situation where I couldn’t accomplish what I needed due to a obstacle created by Cority.

Expensive Solutions

Kommentarer: We had a negative overall experience with the company. They weren't interested in our initial tender and even after convincing them to bid, they put in only the basic effort. Once selected, they immediately went into money maximizing mode and then we were met with a carousel of different people and account reps that never had any consistency. Some are of the staff are good and supportive but overall you just get this vibe that their focus is to just check you off their list and move on regardless of your readiness or the state of the product.
Decent Solution but Subpar Implementation Services.

Fördelar:

Cority is a powerful platform with tons of features and lots of integration opportunities. It is used by many large companies and is able to customize the solution to a degree if you're willing to pay. There is also a great community behind it where people can come together to answer questions and propose software changes.

Nackdelar:

1. Expensive - this is a very expensive solution, even compared to other players in the space. Not only is the base solution expensive, you are essentially forced into a position to buy "consulting hours" and time for anything after your basic implementation. It can get excessive at times. 2. Pressure - during implementation, you are under immense pressure the entire time from them to move the project forward and any slight changes in timeline are met with fee's and warnings. They have a overly intense emphasis on hitting the deadlines at the cost of implementation quality.

Very versitile and powerful EHS compliance tool

Kommentarer: Great company to work with, good customer service. Always impressed with the forward thinking and continued improvement and advancements.

Fördelar:

The tool is customizable to almost any situation. The calculation engine is one of the best we have found anywhere, and is a main reason we purchased the tool. We can use and configure the tool with little to no assistance.

Nackdelar:

There can be a steep learning curve to the system. With a fully implemented system, when overarching changes need to be made there can be a significant amount of work, however this is likely similar in any platform as complex as this (we use the Enviance platform).

Equipment Maintenance with IQS software 2016

Kommentarer: We have been using this software since 2008 and we switched to the web version in 2013. We use this software to maintain our equipment and it is a valuable asset to record keeping and documenting the preventive maintenance on equipment and tooling. It does require some time to add data to the fields but once it is done it is easy to look up and check on the equipment to see when maintenance has been completed and any upcoming PM's that we need to plan for. I also modify reports in IQS to make it easier for managers to use. I add the new users into IQS and help them with any issues they run into. The software has made it easier for us to show our customers how we are maintaining our equipment during audits.

External Quality MGR/ ISO Mgmt. Rep/ SQA MGR.

Kommentarer: I think this system is great. Our customers really like how this works during audits. The information is at your fingertips. The only suggestion I would make to the program is that all modules and support look ups have the ability to have a full page view. I use 2 screens and many people do now so it would be nice to view all information on a full screen.

Fördelar:

Ease, Information at your fingertips along with how quick it is to get info , charts, past history.

Nackdelar:

I would make all charts or logs with the ability to view on a full screen.

Great support. Great Product.

Kommentarer: The Customer support is top notch. whenever we are stuck on a problem Cority User Community or tech support is able to help.

Fördelar:

As one of a few IT Analysts working with this software for our company it has been very fun to learn the ins and outs of the software. We are self hosted so we need more help then most of Cority's other customers but their customer support has been amazing and top quality. I like that it is built of different modules which your company may or may not want so its very adaptable to your needs.

Nackdelar:

It can be over whelming when you are thrown into it at first but over time you start to understand the ingenuity in the software design.

Dynamic Software

Kommentarer: We are bringing data to our users through multi-level dashboards and are able to react quickly to ever changing business needs. When we run into issues or questions, the Cority support and help desk model is working well above industry standard

Fördelar:

Quick configuration change ability and the power behind business rules and insightful dashboards

Nackdelar:

The reporting feature needs multi variable chart capability in their main reporting tool, but this is coming in June 2020

Review of Software as of 2/12/20

Kommentarer: Still too early to capture and measure true gains but hopefully overtime there will be significant obvious benefits to promote.

Fördelar:

Multiple modules to handle many EHS needs

Nackdelar:

Inability to show user only what is applicable to them when they are in a specific module; for instance, only have incident lookup values available when in incident not also audit values. Sounds like some future enhancements may help to resolve

IQS Review

Kommentarer: My company has been using IQS for our Quality system for aver 20 years. It has proven to provide us with all the funtionality that we require to be a leader in our industry. The IT Customer Support is by far the best I have ever dealt with.

Fördelar:

There is a alot of funcitonality available with the software.

Nackdelar:

The web is not very customizable. Everything seems to require a new deployment.

IQS Review

Kommentarer: I use IQS for Supplier Quality every day, the AVL, Supplier Nonconformances etc. I love the new version.

Fördelar:

Ease of use.

Nackdelar:

Supplier Audit Checklists - Cannot see the whole question.

Very nice software

Fördelar:

Setting up devices such as gages and setting up inspection plans is very easy to do. The skip lot system works like a charm.

Nackdelar:

There should be a way to have "master" characteristics that can be linked to inspection plans for assemblies that use multiple component part drawings. This would allow a change to be made in one place on a sub-assembly that would be pushed into all the assemblies they are part of.

Great Software

Kommentarer: Great for fit testing records.

Fördelar:

Great software. Once implemented, ease to use and customize. Unending resources for any questions or potential customization you may have.

Nackdelar:

Layouts are difficult to customize and understand.

Does so much!

Fördelar:

It is a product that is developing continuously based on customer suggestions and work by Cority experts!

Nackdelar:

Some much I want to implement at once...so little time!

Cority Review

Kommentarer: Overall I am a believer in the software and use it very often

Fördelar:

As I learn more about this product, I can see the value of utilizing the software in other areas of our operations.

Nackdelar:

Because I am not an IT person, at times it’s hard for me to understand that aspect of the software.

First Time User

Fördelar:

Once you get the hang of it, it's not bad

Nackdelar:

Lots of steps to set up. Tough to use as an athletic trainer...little too many bells and whistles for what we need.

CHarting

Kommentarer: We use occ health everyday. Works well for general charting.

Fördelar:

The ease of use for charting clinic visits daily

Nackdelar:

Not knowing how everything works, navigating through the cority community can be tedious

Cority is awesome!!

Kommentarer: Cority is a one stop shop for Safety.

Fördelar:

The ease of use. It house all of my data for my IH and Safety programs.

Nackdelar:

N/A, there is nothing that I like least about the application.

Very Pleased

Fördelar:

The software’s ease of use and customer support

Nackdelar:

Need more drill down capabilities for all users

A program that everyone must have for their organization

Kommentarer: Very good so far. Looking forward to going live.

Fördelar:

Clean simplistic look and easy navigation

Nackdelar:

The repetitiveness in some of the modules.

Implementation of Cority Medical and IH globally

Kommentarer: Cority is clearly within the best software packages currently available for occupational health and industrial hygiene, so it is well worth considering.

Fördelar:

- Extensive feature set, available out of the box - Very good domain/functional expertise from the Cority consultants - Designed by OH people for OH people - "Can do" attitude, eager to assist in projects delivery, demonstrates flexibility - Keeping ahead of new regulations, pro-active - Enforces the capture of data in a structured way (pick lists) - Web-based tool - Cross-browser compatible

Nackdelar:

- Some aspects of the software too focused on North America, rather than global - Reporting done on transactional database (may impact performance on complex queries) - Reporting functionality could be improved (maybe leveraging a full reporting tool, such as Business Objects) - More out of the box interfaces/agreements with labs and device manufacturers would be good - No employee portal available yet

IQS Organizes everything!

Kommentarer: IQS is a very user-friendly program that has helped our company organize all of our quality control needs. Our initial training went beyond learning the software, to helping us think through business decisions in order to maximize our use of the software. When we upgraded our SQL Server Tech Support made the move quick and easy. This software has replaced the use of numerous spreadsheets and forms freeing up much-needed space. We have customized reports and screens with no problems. Customer Service is very prompt and easy to work with - I definitely recommend IQS!

Honest Review of a Starter

Kommentarer: so far so good, no major issues encountered yet

Fördelar:

it's generally user-friendly and easy to navigate

Nackdelar:

The view is not that easy to re-arrange. A "drag" and drop function could be appreciated in re-arranging view instead of creating a new one. Also, can't search using wild characters (e.g. using * to capture all possible results)

IQS Demos

Fördelar:

This product has all the modules that our company needs. We are excited about getting our IT team and them together so we analyze if IT will be happy with our choice. Being able to have all documentation needed for ISO in one place will assist us so much.

Nackdelar:

Can't think of any at this time. It will be a great tool for document control, auditing, corrective actions, no more spreadsheet for every little thing.

software not user friendly

Kommentarer: Software is not user friendly and freezes up often
The reports are often confusing and missing data because we are not sure what needs input where
the training classes have not been real helpful as they are more general and not specific to our needs
