We had a different package that was touted as "easy" but found it difficult and pricey. > > **Cons**: Setting up the software for login of new users when using SQL database requires IT support as there is no easy way to do it through an interface from the software. > > Allowed training of new persons to be easier based on the software. Left me open to spend more time on the actual processes and not as much on how to use software to manage them. ----- ### "Specifically aimed at Customer Service" — 5.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *7 June 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I deal with a lot customer service departments for software and hardware every week and you guys are better than 95% of them. Thanks so much for your help. > > **Cons**: I have limited experience with the product itself. > > My experience has been excellent thus far. ----- ### "Helps me to schedule calibration of our equipment." — 3.0/5 > **Jane** | *9 April 2018* > > **Pros**: Looks a lot like Windows so it gives a familiarity to the person using the tool. The customer support team has always responded promptly and always answered any questions I had. > > **Cons**: I don't really use the software to its potential so I can't really say there are cons. I basically use it to schedule the calibration of our equipment. ----- ### "First Time Exposure to Calibration Control" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *5 November 2019* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are several 'Pros:' 1. The program is virtually 'Instant On,' meaning very little time is lost waiting for the program to load, 2. An active user manual is available online for ready reference, 3. Updates are readily available, 4. Valuable informational status is readily seen, and 5. Fields have color coding to reflect current status of the tool. > > **Cons**: The package is not readily intuitive, meaning use of the Manual and / or call-in to the company representative is needed; although, we used Excel, up to this point, to track calibration status and functioned from that point of view, which was one dimensional and did not provide enough information, the benefits of this package outweigh any negatives. > > Overall experience is quite positive\! When I ran the limit of the Manual and needed further assistance, the APE Software Calibration Control Customer Service Representative, CSR, was extremely helpful, and is representative of the heart and strength of the company. She abundantly answered all of my questions and provided insight into the power of the software. Representative introduced me to the 'Teamviewer,' which, in my view, provides for dynamic customer / representative interface. Through the use of Teamviewer, more than vocalization of what to do, over the phone, was displayed as she showed me real time what to do and then let me demonstrate what she had shown me, in order to ensure I fully understood the concepts. Having been, myself, a trainer within Quality Assurance, the foregoing indelibly etched what I learned. Representative apparent sterling knowledge and understanding of the software spurred me, at one point, to ask her whether she was a program developer. I have had to make multiple calls seeking answers to perplexing questions and Representative has effectively answered all of them. Summarizing, based upon the power of the software and the company’s customer service, I strongly recommend this software. ----- ### "APE software is an easy and efficient way to help capture calibration history for your company." — 5.0/5 > **Cary** | *13 January 2016* > > I have used this software for one year and I have about 5,000 gages currently that I handle. My overall experience with the software and APE staff has been very pleasant. I have experienced some issues stemming from security on my computer, knowledge and glitches in the software but I have had wonderful support every step of the way. Customer service is SUPERIOR. The Ape staff is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Mark has many years of experience and takes time to understand your needs. One particular time there was a glitch with my system and Mark walked me step by step through what happened, why it happened and although he had never had that problem before was able to fix the glitch with me. A big plus is that they usually answer the phone when you call but if they do not, leave a message; they return calls and emails in less than 24 hours generally and in most cases within the hour. The biggest bonus is that Mark and Natasha are always listening to suggestions, concerns, and feedback and then look for solutions to incorporate it into the software to ensure that their customers are running efficiently. Natasha and I have worked on things before and when I would suggest or make a comment and she will stop me, write down the information and I will see the fix in a future update. The software I used prior did not do even 50% of what APE software does. APE gives me the flexibility to do what I need to do and with a professional look. As for the software its very user friendly no matter what the level of computer knowledge the user has. I have not had time to read the manual and still have been able to print reports, attach documents, attach links to policies and procedures and print certificates of calibration among basic calibration record keeping. The software allows for such a variety of options so that you are able to accurately record everything happening with each gauge, tool, machine, etc. By using features like measurement groups, notes, check in and attachments it is easy to with a click of a button know your tolerance for a tool, when it was last calibrated, who checked it out last, where it is located and any documentation such as manufacturers instruction manual, certification, and repair information right from your pc. My previous software was unable to do that and did not always know how it was filed. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/92383/calibration-control?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/92383/calibration-control) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
