Cority Review

Pros:

User friendly and easy to use. Our success person is amazing to work with.

Cons:

Unknown capabilities. There are some many features that are available that we have no idea about or how to use them.

Experience with Cority

Comments: Cority has helped our clinicians save time by having all employee information in one place to access. Clinicians can view all notes on a particular case at one time. It has helped us to keep all records and documents in an employee profile. Our admin love the system because it allow them to schedule and send out notifications out of the software. It has allowed time savings in all departments of our occupational health clinic.

Pros:

Cority has a user friendly interface that makes is simpler to teach new employees how to use. You can easily access employee information with the quick access modules (CXR, PFT, Questionnaires). Profiles allow you to configure PII information to allow NEED TO KNOW. Reporting makes it easy to communicate with projects, HR, FOIA requests, and employees. Functionality with creating your own letters. Time efficiency with the ability to correct rejected data by individual rather than each test and re-import. You can also clone the medical histories and physician exams. This allows you to add to or change what needs to be updated rather than having to re-enter all the information.

Cons:

Once you save a created letter, you cannot go back and edit that letter. If there is a mistake, you have to delete and start over again. Sometimes it may take a couple of weeks to reach a resolution to a bug in the system.

Great solution for medium sized business or large enterprises

Comments: There are two version of the IQS software, the currently deployed Web 2.0 version, and their new version TruBox. The current version is a bit clunky (requiring Internet Explorer in Compatibility Mode), though the new direction they're heading corrects that. We use this software for defect tracking the whole way through the process. Equipment/Gage management modules are available that are full featured whether you're one location, or many across the globe. Implementation with existing systems was a breeze. The only downside I can see aside from the old interface would be that development work seems focused more on helping large enterprises get the most out of it. The complexity may be a bit much for a smaller business. Have been to the user group meetings and met many of the staff personally. The customer service has always been above and beyond.

Pros:

Active development and great customer support. Covers all features our quality department required.

Cons:

Forced Internet Explorer usage for Web 2.0 version. Interface tends to lag a bit when tabbing through fields.

Great Software for IH - Not good customer support

Comments: Great software for IH & OH, but tech support is lacking.

Pros:

I have been a Cority administrator for 9 years, but a Cority user for 15 years. The software is great for doing industrial hygiene. Layouts can be customized to fit the users needs.

Cons:

The company I work for recently went into a joint venture, merging together several sites with over 7,000 employees. While migrating the data from one Cority environment to another (around 40,000 records) Cority put an upload limit of 200 records in place, severely crippling my migration progress. When discussing this issue with tech support & recommending a way around the issue, I was told by tech support "the 200 limit is to be respected" and they refused to help. In addition, I have two other outstanding issues that have been out there for about 3 months. Tech support occasionally will contact me to try something, but they have never been resolved.

Cority - An excellent solution

Comments: 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)

Pros:

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

Cons:

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.

Equipment Maintenance with IQS software 2016

Comments: 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.

Comments: 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.

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Regional Manager - HSSE & Contract Management

Comments: Excellent. I will suggest, its should be made mandatory to every organization to reduce Co2 from their services/operations and submit report to governing authorities which will help the globe to bring more sustainability at faster speed.

Pros:

Make awareness about the sustainability to our customers to reduce Co2. Sustainability will give awareness about how Co2 is impacting on our overall environment, humans, animals, etc and how to reduce Co2 from their operational services by implementing various mechanisam & initiatives.

Cons:

This is good initiative but small scale industries are not much aware of that and it should be made mandatory to all.

New user into a system that was set up by others

Comments: As a new user myself i didn't think we were using a lot of the system to it's benefit. Having been at the Cority APAC Roadshow on [sensitive content hidden] i got to see the overall capabilities of the system. Presenters showed how they have implemented, developed or use the system based on how long they have been using Cority. That experience has given me new passion to further develop our capabilities,

Pros:

Overall system capability is excellent, as is the user community. As a new user to the administration function of the system the support i am getting from the Cority team has been awesome.

Cons:

There is no 'process maps' available for how how system was set up - that is NOT a Cority issue, more an issue at our end but Cority have been excellent in helping me navigate the system to better utilise the features

Cority Review

Comments: I love how cority listens to customers and values feedback.

Pros:

We had a major gap while we transitioned from an old database to Cority. I liked how we became tied in from occ health to safety, less paper and felt like we were moving up with the times.

Cons:

Training when releases come out! AND It often feels like new things come with a cost and it’s hard to keep going back and asking for money each time.

Good Software but Clunky

Comments: Data entry is very cumbersome compared to the Access databases we used to use. We stopped using part of it several years ago and went back to Access because of the time required to click one button after another and switch between tabs. The Access database allows all data entry to be done on one screen and is at least 10 times faster. Also need simpler inspection plan setup ability and the ability to link to pre-set characteristics that are used across multiple product numbers so that a change to a specific universal characteristic is pushed forward into all product using this characteristic. Also need a way to link component parts to an assembly so a change to any component part is pushed forward into all the assemblies that use this component.

Pros:

Overall a good system.

Cons:

As stated above, clunky data entry and hard to maintain inspection plan changes.

Review of IQS Quality Management Software

Comments: I work with IQS Software daily, the benefits make my job duties so much easier, the automatic notifications for items save me so much time. The Software has allowed my company the ability to organize everything from audit reports to PPM tractability

Cons:

Little hard to navigate and learn

Cority Connect Conference 2020

Comments: Knowledgeable staff. Proactive approach to improving overall use for end user.

Pros:

Reporting features; ability to set up and send emails with attachments.

Cons:

Not that I like it “least” but would just like more hands on with the report builder

The system works as intended with lots of opportunity for improvements

Pros:

The amount of ability to configure to your own liking. The Report writing features. The advanced dashboard. The inspections module.

Cons:

no Self reset passwords. Inspections not linked to user roles. Missing ability to tie in required fields from other tabs on the incident investigation module to the workflow.

Nice Software

Comments: Very great. Always improving the software to meet customers need.

Pros:

Ease of use, the ability to create SEG GROUPS

Cons:

Continue to improve to have less clicks.

Cority

Comments: easy to use.

Pros:

ease of use, big fonts, no problems with log in issues.

Cons:

too much clicking from one place to another.

I feel so behind

Comments: Really like the metrics

Pros:

Functionality and services are great which makes it an easy choice.

Cons:

Frequent upgrades make you feel behind when you finally implement a new process

Implemented IQS within organization

Pros:

I like that all of our QMS is maintained within one system instead of scattered throughout our internal network. Everyone has easy access.

Cons:

Not always the most intuitive user-interface. People who don't use computers regularly struggle to learn this system.

Best QA Software Available

Comments: After 13 years with IQS my company switched over to SAP and the complexity of SAP makes me wish we were back on IQS. SAP offers no easy way to do searches and what is one or two steps in IQS is as many as 20 steps in SAP. If you have IQS stick with it

Pros:

It is easy to set up products and devices and doing searches is very easy to do. Be nice if exporting data could be done directly into Excel and was faster.

Cons:

no real complaints other than suggestions I made in previous reviews concerning inspection plan setup.

Not live yet!

Pros:

We wanted to have strong data and Cority offered the best solution

Cons:

Amount of customization time was not known in advance

Cority Review

Comments: I am a new user to Cority and I am working for formal education. However, it looks like there are resources under the user community that are available such as videos and webinars.

Pros:

Cority covers the basics for what we use at our company.

Cons:

We need to implement my Cority and have a better understanding of reporting. It seems difficult to use.

My Initial thoughts

Comments: Initial go live found several issues not doing what we thought it should and should have been configured up front.
Fixed rapidly during coricon (for the most part).

Pros:

Dashboards and capabilities. Relative ease of use with navigations. Options for design and layout.

Cons:

Implementation process and configuration

New Customer

Pros:

The implementation and general service support has been outstanding!

Cons:

Would like to see a little more emphasis in efficiency of use for power users. Although, the new version may have addressed this.
