Cons It can be a bit expensive for companies that are just starting off or are small - and there are alternatives out there that are good enough or can suffice for the time being. Also, if someone is not trained well, they can definitely make major issues in the system and support from Veeva may take too long to fix certain large issues. Review Source SB Stuart B. Marketing Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Marketing experiences with Veeva Vault " February 8, 2025 5.0 Overall, its probably the best system I have used for document management. Veeva have thought of everything. You can pay less for other systems, but on the surface they seem to do the same, but when you start using them, the finer details and features are lacking with other systems. Stability is also very good. It doesn't freeze when managing large documents. It doesn't crash. This might sound basic, but other systems freeze and crash on a weekly basis, wasting time. I have used 4 of these systems at large international pharmaceutical companies, and this is my preferred system. Pros As job creator, it is easy to upload documents, link documents as references, and send virtual job bags to a team for review and sign-off. It date stamps each action, which covers you, if project run late, it objectively demonstrates where bottle necks are in an organisations 'sign-off' team. As a reviewer, the exact text in a substantiating reference to a claims made in documents are shown, saving time looking for exactly the right text in a reference. It is intuitive to use, if have experience using other review and approval systems. It is reliable and doesn't crash like other systems. In 2 years I have never needed to call their Support team. It can handle different media types for review, such as pdf, video, etc very well, better than predecessor systems. Cons As a job creator, it takes time linking references to a document, unless you like repetitive tasks. If you upload a new amended version after 1st review of a document, it can loose the linked references. Which if its a 10 page document with 30 references is frustrating. There is a copy references, button, which does take the references into a new document, but it can drop links to which text the references are substantiating. As a reviewer, it has no Cons.

But generally, the tool never impresses me. There's enough UI bugs that lead me to believe that much of my frustration is Veeva's responsibility. Pros Seems to be mostly stable and no unhandled bugs. It is usually quite snappy/responsive. Cons Poor search functionality; for a content management solution search functionality is vital. If it fails on this, it's dead in the water. Veeva seems to be aware of this deficiency, and had documented their way out of it. They should just fix it. There's other issue/UI bugs that I would expect to be caught during beta testing. Some examples: if text is entered in the search box, and an item is hovered over, the hovered item is returned when pressing enter, the search text is not executed. There are drag areas for files that do not always work. The main search bar does not search everything; by default is searches documents, pasting/searching a change control ID in this state does not return the record. Review Source TA Tim A. Strategic Operations Director Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The pharma-grade content management must have." July 10, 2025 4.0 We simplified document workflows, were audit-ready, and shortened the approval cycle, something essential for maintaining compliance and progress in our pharmaceutical pipeline. Pros Vault was made for our industry. I like that integrated audit logs as well as GxP compliant. Controlled documents, such as batch records and labels are easier to manage than ever. Cons It’s not expensive, and admittedly had a steep learning curve for non-regulatory or seasonal professionals. Review Source mG marco G. Innovation Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good choice for life science" November 9, 2025 4.0 Overall experience Veeva Vault is a strong choice for organizations operating under strict Life Sciences regulations that need a unified, validated platform for content and quality processes. Its biggest strengths are compliance readiness and configurable workflows. Conversely, projects that under-resource configuration often face usability issues and disappointing search/results. Pros You can model complex processes (change control, deviations, labeling, regulatory submissions) without custom code, keeping upgrades straightforward. Cons If content is poorly tagged, search efficacy drops. Automated classification is improving but still requires process discipline. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Document management across different sites" September 18, 2020 5.0 Overall this has been great for sharing documents between sites such that all employees are kept up to date with latest document releases. This includes protocols, updated announcements on inspection, and even safety announcements. Users must acknowledge and e-sign to show that they have read and understood the contents, which is then tracked and sent to managers for compliance. The workflow is very streamlined and aside from slight confusion when logging in, it otherwise seems to work wonderfully. Pros We use this application to manage training materials and documents that we need to share across sites and ensure all employees read and acknowledge. Veeva allows for version control between different drafts of the document, as well as the option to share the document between multiple owners, which is great for when you're working across state lines and time zones. There is also a date control for retiring the document upon expiration so that you no longer need to manage expiration for GMP (or just time sensitive) related files. Cons The login process to view the document has caused some headache on our team. Veeva seems to be only somewhat incorporated into the company workframe, meaning users have to sign in with a different username and password than what they would do to log in to other company resources using company credentials.

Scalable system with ease of with ease of assigning roles and responsibilities. Cons Pricing is high as compared to other players in healthcare, including user licenses. User interface can be made better Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Manager Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful and efficient, better than legacy players" February 17, 2020 4.0 Veeva Vault (particularly PromoMats) is great as an end user, complex if you are an admin. Pros I used Veeva Vault, specifically the PromoMats app, at one of my previous jobs. It was a huge step above EMC Documentum on-prem implementations for dealing with 2253 Forms. If you are an end user, Veeva Vault has a really intuitive user experience, and their annotations tools (ex. different color annotations, highlights, etc.) make dealing with promotional materials a breeze. Cons From an administration and configuration standpoint, especially for lifecycles and workflows, Veeva Vault can be quite complex. Guess that's why they offer really expensive certification... which I'm fine with b.c work paid for it. The admin interface and the process of validating whether or not your workflow will actually work is not the most intuitive. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Medical Information Associate Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A premiere software to manage and review content" August 6, 2019 5.0 Pros As a medical reviewer of documentation that is provided externally, it's an absolutely joy to work within Veeva Vault. It is easy to operate, upload, and review documents. There is an interactive means by which comments can be added and responded to on the relevant document. It's also a great place simply to organize content, and to make it available for applications for CRM. The software is continuously being updated and they are very receptive to feedback. Takes no time to set up and is easy to train new users on. Cons This may be specifically an admin problem, but I've noticed some problems with action items, where 'Approve for use' will appear twice. Seems like these things do get fixed quite quickly once escalated.

It allows us to upload documents to the clients cloud easily. Cons The time it takes for finalization is too long. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Unlocking Veeva Vault" February 20, 2025 4.0 The overall experience was satisfactory and I was able to use collaboration features very well and keeping track of the task was easy. Pros The best feature I like most about Veeva vault is its seamless collaboration features with real time editing, commenting, integrated chat and approval tracking is very good. Cons The thing that is not good is that it its performance is slow with large datasets and there are latency issues.

Regulatory consultant Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A powerful tool for businesses " August 26, 2024 5.0 Positive but there are elements which could be improved Pros It has many functionalities and menus and the ability to filter your search effectively Cons The RIM (Record information management) structure is cumbersome to me: the interplay between an event, a submission, a regulatory objective and an application is complicate Review Source ER Erin R. Sr. Account Manager Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Veeva Promomats" January 16, 2022 5.0 We use Veeva Promomats for our MLR Review process (medical/legal/regulatory + usually marketing/marcom/clinical/public affairs reviewers are also included). Veeva is a single platform that can be used for the approvals across the various functions. The system has been much easier to use than our previous system, as the UI is more current & easy to use. Pros The Veeva PromoMats UI is intuitive & easy to learn for reviewers/approvers. It takes a little more time to learn the process as a document coordinator, because there are more steps to follow, but overall still on the simple side to learn. It's a centralized system for all of our advertising & promotional material approvals. Allows for collaboration between users in different time zones/locations. The ability to link reference documents (clinical studies, journal publications, etc.) within the job allows quick access to pertinent material. The newest UI update that included the ability to export annotations as live PDF comments is a game-changer! Cons Until recently, annotation exports were sort of clunky/hard to follow - however, the newest UI update included the ability to export annotations as live PDF comments, and it's a game-changer!

QA Coordinator Biotechnology Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Tried to be advanced but took it too far." September 25, 2023 2.0 Not great, it has applications for highly regulated industries but not most. Pros It's great for proving to auditors that you have intense control over documents. Has a solid tracking of actions. Cons Far too expensive for regular use. Most industries require access for all staff, having to have a secondary login for all staff makes it a pain to use.

Pros I have mainly used the RIM (Regulatory Information Management) Suite of the Veeva Vault Application/Software. It is very easy to use, flexible and customizable. If you compare it with other similar tools in the market like Generis CARA then I would prefer Veeva Vault RIM more because it is much more user-friendly and we have vast amount of API related configuration available for it. There are a lot of Help articles available for Veeva as compared to CARA. Cons Veeva Vault is more suitable for large projects/company with a large number of users. The license and training cost is also very high as compared to the other similar tools. Alternatives considered [CARA](https://www.capterra.com/p/118031/CARA/) Review Source PD Pratik D. Sr. Manager Regulatory Affairs Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Veeva Vault Review" October 31, 2019 5.0 A user friendly software for the management of Health Authority Submissions, Correspondences, Quality related documents, eCTD submissions. Pros Veeva Vault is a very useful Regulatory Information Management software. It is user friendly and helps in various ways for managing and archiving of the Health Authority submissions, Advertisizing and Promotional materials review and approval, helps to comply with the regulatory requirements. Cons It would be good if the software has some ad-ons and more options for Regulatory information management. Otherwise Eva Vault is a very great system. Review Source SM Sydney M. Brand Maven Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great collaborative holistic software" September 16, 2020 5.0 Overall it has been fairly positive, my main pain points are with customer SOP's not the software itself. Pros I like how customizable this software is - there are seemingly endless metadata options. Also i really enjoy how holistically it approaches APS development from drafting, referencing, reviewing, layout creation, proofing all the ay too archiving source files - it really does it all. Cons Sometimes the help features or FAQ's are not helpful as they are general and a client has often customized their version of Veeva so that the instructions no longer apply and customer service doesn't always have an option. Review Source TW Tracy W. Medical Information Operation Specialist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It easy to upload & maintain documents in Veeva Vault" March 10, 2018 5.0 It would be great if the sandbox refresh included a refresh of documents, so we could test the environment as it is in production. The functionality refreshes, but we end up having to upload current documents, so that we can run tests that mimic what is happening in production. Pros Veeva Vault is easy to navigate. You can update the metadata quickly and easily without having to put the document through a workflow. Cons The current version we are using is not set up for the workflows that we need, therefore we have to use another system for our workflows. We need the ability to redline in the workflow and track changes. We also need the ability to reject/accept changes and approve or deny. We are research a better process within Veeva Vault.

It can also be linked to training softwares. We easy to login once password is saved.(Auto login) Cons Not too much of a con but something for future improvement.
