About Q-Pulse
Q-Pulse is an electronic quality management system from Ideagen, which also automates business processes covering compliance, safety, and risk management. Included in the system are tools for managing documents, staff training and competence, safety, incidents, corrective and preventative actions (CAPA), audits, suppliers, and more. Structures, workflows, data security, alerts, and escalations can all be configured in Q-Pulse to reflect organizational standards and processes.
Q-Pulse’s audit module gives users control of the full audit lifecycle, covering planning and scheduling, preparation, implementation, reporting, and action tracking. Audit capabilities are available offline, allowing users to work remotely with limited connectivity. Risk-based internal audits can be carried out, and financial audits, including SOX, can be automated. The CAPA system can be used to centrally record, manage, and track the progress of actions, with approval process workflow management enabling the automatic routing of approvals, notifications, reminders, escalations, and closures to the responsible individuals.
Q-Pulse enables users to monitor performance via KPIs (key performance indicators) in real time, for operational performance, quality, safety, risk, and compliance, and use these to identify and correct issues in governance strategies. Q-Pulse also offers native apps for iOS and Android, which include audit, document management, and reporting capabilities, and can be used to collaborate, communicate, and submit reports in real time while outside of the office.

Wow Vikki, on behalf of the whole team at Qualsys - thank for you leaving us a review!
We are over the moon you've had an overall great experience of EQMS. We'll keep working on making the data available across all the modules but have raised this.

We have used Q-pulse for over 10 years and it is a critical part of the business that we could not be without, although if we had a wish list to improve it, we would like it to be more user friendly and more helpful for the casual or new user.
Pros
Q-pulse is a very good tool for helping us manage key areas within the management systems, such as CAPA and document / asset control, at least it is for them that know how to use it.
Cons
Q-pulse is not an easy tool to learn your way around and it can put people off using it due to it not quite being as intuitive as it could be

A very easy business system to administer. I particularly like the Actions and Document Manager module.

We needed a lot of customization to ensure the Training Manager module worked for us.

Hi Daniel
Thank you for reviewing Qualsys. Delighted to hear you think EQMS is great software and a very easy business system to administer.

If you do have any suggestions or recommendations to help us improve EQMS, please do send us your feedback to [email protected]
Thanks again,

Overall, it has made an improvement and met a lot of our needs.
The most difficult part is getting end users engaged in the system.
Pros
I love the usability of the software. It is very intuitive, and has all of the features we wanted, or didn't know we wanted!
The configurability of the system has also been a huge positive for us. With our old system we weren't able to fully configure, and the elements that we could configure required an IT administrator and/or a particular licence.
I will bullet point the rest:
Ability to link related documents
Setting review dates for documents
Dashboard
Limiting permissions/viewing ability
Ability for end users to leave feedback on documentation
Automatically PDFing documents
Embedding codes
Training/help is within the system
Overall the software is miles ahead of the others, with so many positive points!
Cons
The cons:
There is not an option to select the information shown in an issue report
The forms are "fully configurable", for example some information has to be there, and it has to be at the top of the form rather than in another section
Kickstarting workflows is a little more clunky than the "pass to" function
The "if" option could have a lot more power (but I understand this is a recent development)
You can't do a blank search for all documents (filtering with topics for example)
Response from Ideagen
Hi Danielle,
This is such a lovely review. Thank you so much for sharing your experience of Qualsys with the world. It means a lot to us.

Many thanks
