We actually use the system internally to manage our own training and Quality processes. So, I have been the user in that sense and have always found ACE to be very user friendly. > > **Cons**: Some people may not want to set up their configurations and validate them themselves, but PSC Software does offer services to configure and validate these items for your company if that is the case\! ----- ### "ACE" — 3.0/5 > **Adrienne** | *13 October 2020* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: An economic option and great for small companies that are implementing an eQMS for the first time. Great for companies that are just looking for an eDMS. > > **Cons**: Improvement needed in the more advanced eQMS features that go beyond document control, such as the audit module. Allowance for more customization would be appreciated. > > Overall, a really great tool for small companies or those who just want a secure, easily searchable system for storing their electronic documents. ----- ### "ACE the quality multi tool" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 June 2024* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that ACE lets me manage my training and quality processes all in one place > > **Cons**: I get overwhelmed by all of the configuration options > > ACE is a great multi faceted experience with ACE Sign, LMS, Docs and inspection, I find myself leaving the software for other tools less and less ----- ### "ACE Implementation and Features" — 4.0/5 > **Jency** | *15 April 2019* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: ACE is an easily implementable SaaS application. The user interfaces, features and response time is really good. ACE has a lot of configurable attributes which makes it very flexible. ACE has very good collaborative functions. The features are an endless possibility: - Chat functionality - Group chat per record and custom defined groups with history - Ease of creation and transitioning of records and capture of data - Acts a good document repository - Configurable workflows - Live Scribe and saved Scribe notes feature - Very succinct and user friendly dashboard - Strong Analytics reporting capability with export functionality - Step-wise configurable inapp notifications and email notifications - Task alerts - Role based access restrictions and permissions - Audit Trail - API The Implementation team is very knowledgeable and responsive. > > **Cons**: Product implementation: the Implementation process needs vast improvements - the team requires a Business Analyst dedicated to every implementation. They need a professional technical writer and solution architecture. The team communications and project management needs vast improvements. The company needs a product roadmap that needs to be published and a process to elicit product improvements from their clientele. ACE: The tool is great but they need the following basic improvements: - a robust and above par PDF rendition capability - Customization Dashboard (to include company specific branding) - Customization of system notifications (to include company branding and remove ACE) - Alerts for Group Chat - Intuitive record creation and parent-child relational DB structure - more configurable permissions around Scribe functionality > > We have been configuring ACE with the intention to use the application for Quality Assurance process. While the PSC team has been very responsive and approachable, they need improved technical writers, a stronger project management (to include communications) team and above all they need Business Analysis skills. The product is a good application with huge potential to be used in Audit, Inspection, Quality and CAPA managements spaces. The easily configurable nature of ACE, combined with their Analytic Reporting capability and collaborative functions makes ACE a very good product. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/439327/ace?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/439327/ace) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
