Pros

- Extensive feature set, available out of the box
- Very good domain/functional expertise from the Medgate 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

Cons

- 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

Overall

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