5.0

Pros

### "Gagepack's Effectiveness"

December 27, 2021

5.0

I myself have enjoyed implementing this software into our application and have full faith that it can and has served my company well. Any short comings could and/or should be looked at objectively by not only myself but my team as opportunities.. opportunities to utilize the software better, to facilitate the internal IT support required, as well as invest in training offered through PQ systems, unfortunately for Gagepack and myself this isn't always possible. I hope we can continue using this software but with new management and new ideas coming with other experience I fear this may not be the case. I will continue to advocate for this software whether here or elsewhere. I am very much satisfied with PQ System's Gagepack and will continue to try and demonstrates its effectiveness as it accomplishes most every need and requirement for our application.

Pros

The systems ease of use, once established through a heavy early development period, allows for an quick and efficient operations in supporting company assets.

Cons

Personally, I have had very few complaints as most issues are more an likely operator induced and can be resolved easily. HOWEVER, the technical/and or customer support i have received has been quite lackluster and at times challenging. I have had support that was so difficult to bear it was almost comical, calls which would require no editing for SNL and would have been plots for Seinfeld.. Maybe it is my ignorance or perhaps my companies incompetence but there has been times customer support has left me feeling like a complete idiot. My company and myself would gladly pay for additional support if this was possible, I don't appreciate nor require condescending conversations, especially in a time of need.

Reason for choosing GAGEpack

I was able advocate and/or lobby for the continued operations with Gagepack since I was familiar with it and/or the new management was burdened with so many other projects and integrations.

### "Our experience with GAGEpack has been exceptional. It has been well worth the purchase for us."

May 16, 2018

5.0

Organization of calibration events and gauges. Reduced time in performing calibration events from having to write all of the information needed. Ease of use when perform calibration events, developing reports and/or reviewing the audit trail of gauges. The customer support for when we need help answering questions or need to make changes that suit our needs.

Pros

Everything GAGEpack has to offer has been a drastic improvement to our Quality System. Coming from a paper based and in-house developed calibration database, transferring over to GAGEpack was a no-brainer. The time spent writing all of our calibration events and navigating the in-house database has reduced our time performing calibration events. The ease of use and features of GAGEpack has improved our overall gauge management and calibration events. Being in the Medical Device industry, the reports needed for gauge files and the audit trail feature makes it a perfect fit for our company. Being 21 CFR Part11 compliant was a must for us. The information provided about the Validation and the software being 21 CFR compliant helped us in making a quick decision to purchase GAGEpack. The customer service PQ Systems provides is above all. When calling for questions, a live person is on the phone. If no one is able to answer your call, it takes no time for them reach back out to you.

Cons

Using GAGEpack for 4+ years, I have not experience any issues using the software. Our company has been using the software for 5 months now. Any questions or modifications that we had were quickly answered by the PQ Systems team. Our calibration technician has not experienced any issues as well. The technician is very happy that we purchased GAGEpack for their daily calibration needs.

### "GAGEpack Software Gets 7 out of 10"

March 16, 2023

3.0

Pros

I like the color coding abilities of the software. Gauges that need attention are clearly identified with a glance.

Cons

The software is NOT validated by the mfg. so "bugs" or any other issues are not identified until later by end users. The calibration / PM due reports generated by the software are in .pdf / .csv file format so they need to be converted to excel or other file friendly format to be useful to the users receiving the reports.

Alternatives considered

### "very intuitive and organized "

July 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ability to "filter" almost any and everything is extremely friendly. On a monthly basis I group gages to send out for calibration and on a weekly basis I run report for "in-house" calibration. Also, the software is color coded for ease of use, very visual. I am able to edit with ease and maintain individual cards distinctively. I am able to add calibration procedures to every gage for ease of access. I almost single handily saved our complete calibration process with Gagepak. The training I received from the instructors was very helpful in meeting the needs of our company.

Cons

If there are any cons to this software, it would have to be in my opinion that the system will not stay up daily, I have to close it our daily and log back in. Also, the ability to export and customize is limited, I cannot establish grids nor move columns uniquely, it's not set up to perform that. Also, getting my emails when gages are due is not an easy task, IT dept. cannot figure it out, blames the software. One of the last things I don't like about it is that the data can easily be manipulated once it's entered for false readings.

### "I have been using this software for years. I have set it up from the start and updated it yearly. "

July 12, 2018

4.0

Value was great. The auditors like that we use it. It was easy to use.

Pros

It has always kept me in the good grace of auditors. They know this software and trust it. until this latest update i never had trouble with anything.

Cons

They keep adding more features and making it bigger. I believe it now is evolving to be used on bigger networks. I had some data lost the first week of using the new software. Never figured out why. It hasn't happened again, yet. The software was great, when we first got it. Now i'm worried about updating it again.

### "Keep track"

July 16, 2019

4.0

Gagepack has been a great help to our com

Pros

It is an easy software to use and figure out. With the tutorials you will be up and running in no time. It is great for tracking your product (tools) and with the built in email in the software you are able to set reminders so individuals are able to see when they have something due. The customer service is great and they are usually able to solve any problem quickly

Cons

To build some of the reports takes time. It does have some reports built into the software but I have found that I needed more than what was offered.

### "great product, great price"

August 27, 2019

5.0

overall a great product. very happy with it's capabilities.

Pros

less expensive than many competitive products. intuitive to use for a non-computer person. Excellent customer service when I call in for help!

Cons

a few functions were not intuitive for me to use (a non-computer savy person). took quite a while to enter all of our gauges manually (PQ Systems can migrate all your gauges into the program for you, but it costs more) these are minor issues however.

Alternatives considered

[MET/CAL](https://www.capterra.com/p/129383/MET-CAL/)

Reason for choosing GAGEpack

the MET/CAL software appears to have a more functionality, but was orders of magnitude more expensive.

### "Gagepack @ Samtec"

August 26, 2016

5.0

We are a large company with many global satellite facilities. The support from Gagepack tech support has been extremely beneficial in merging capabilities and data from each location to make our communication and gaging more effective. The Gagepack system has helped merge our gaging needs into a more cohesive system.

Pros

Ease of setup, ease of use and the great tech support.

Cons

We would like to be able to give our users more editing and security capabilities among our global users. Example, we would like for our global users to be able to edit the General tab but not have the ability to affect calibration data. Another CON is the character limitations in some fields especially the NIST data field and your "storage" location.

July 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that it updates automatically once the software agreement is renewed. I have used the phone tech support and it was helpful.

Cons

### "I went from using Powerway which was really outdated to using GagePack and I couldn't be happier"

July 16, 2018

5.0

the benefit of this software to Kasai NA is tracking over 4,000 gauges that needs calibrated annually because without it, it would be impossible.

Pros

What I like most about GagePack is the layout of the software, it lets you do just about anything you want to do with it. Our company has over 4,000 items annually to track and calibrate whether its an internal cal or an external cal and GagePack makes it as easy as possible to do all those calibrations.

Cons

Probably the only thing I don't like is the way it prints out the reports (list's) of items needing calibrated. I wish you could change the way the report prints, but to be fair its not a big issue.

### "We are an AS9100 certified company. GAGEpack has taken care of our gage management needs."

July 19, 2018

4.0

Gage organization.

Pros

For us GAGEpack is most helpful for our calibrations. It alerts us when our gages need calibrating. It keeps records of the calibrations. Then we have it hooked up to a label printer and it prints our calibration sticker for us. We had been filling out calibration stickers by hand. In the process we would occasionally get a date wrong. Now that we're hooked up to a label printer our calibration stickers are always right.

Cons

I haven't found a way in GAGEpack to find out all the gages a particular employee has checked out to them. I have contacted the company but it evidently isn't a feature included in the software. I would like to see it added.

### "TMT Review of GAGEpack gage management software"

November 1, 2022

5.0

My company MUST be able to track and maintain our gaging system for ISO certification. GAGEpack is a vital part of our program.

Pros

User-friendly, concise overall view of information, ability to generate reports, and tracking of gage information.

Cons

None really. If I HAD to submit something negative, sometimes it's difficult to manipulate reports to do what I want them to do, but nothing I can't figure out eventually. I'm well satisfied with the product.

Reason for choosing GAGEpack

GAGEpack was actually already in place before I started working at the company.

### "GagePack Database"

October 14, 2019

5.0

Because our industry is heavily regulated and subject to frequent outside inspection GagePack is an invaluable tool for keeping our calibrations and records up to date. The freedom to customize needed information helps keep files current and easily accessible

Pros

The ability to track tools and equipment, being able to have different time tables for reminders of due dates, and the wide range of information that can be associated with tools we use.

Cons

The fact that the program tends to "crash" on a fairly regular basis requiring the need to contact support to reset the program.

Pros

ease of use during data entry. Ability to quickly introduce new gages into the system. Also the attachment of calibration Procedures via PDF is extremely helpful. Downloading and attachment of electronic certification from outside calibration vendors is very time saving and helpful.

Cons

Difficulty of generating custom reports. I have had difficulty in generating custom reports to produce the fields and information that I need to generate. Some fields will not show up in the reports after customization. Even our IT dept has experienced difficulty in producing the desired reports

### "We went from a 3 x 5 card system to GAGEpack. It was like moving to a new century. Great."

June 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

We have used the software for many of the features to keep track of our calibration system. This was a fantastic change from our card files of the past. After using it for a short time we found that it can be used for other items as well. We now use it for keeping track of certifications of our personnel, machine maintenance schedules, safety certifications & inspections, OSHA required inspections, and other issues. The software is versatile with a little imagination. We now have one place that reminds us of all the things we need to do and we can trust that we will not forget. This is a great system because it provides visibility even if an employee is on vacation or leaves the business. No more surprises. I have used their technical support and they are quite impressive. This is a great tool for managing our business. Highly recommended.

Cons

I really have no cons. The software has some features we do not use. It is nice to have them there, we just do not use them.

I am able to track all my calibration tools and gauges with one software.

Pros

I like the reporting the most. GagePack uses MS Access SQL as its basis for all reporting. All fields are accessible and you can extract all data you need to key in on. You can send it to the printer,or a HTML file for use with MS Office.

Cons

I would like to see a few more options in the emailing portion of this fine product. If there is nothing due in a particular department the software will send out a blank report. I would like to see nothing sent out if there is nothing due.

We are able to get reports of annual spend and time spent calibrating. We were able to utilize the software for machine PM's as well as audit schedules so we didn't have to buy more softwares to help with those needs.

Pros

customization of fields - We utilize the software for anything that requires scheduling - eye appts, annual training, audits, preventive maintenance, etc.

Cons

The software will crash at times. Would like the software to grow into an optional cloud based system.

My experience with this software has been fantastic. It took me a little while to learn how to use all the features I would need but once I did it has been very useful. And the product support team has been wonderful with helping me whenever I have a question.

Pros

It is very organized and easy to use, and the product support team is extremely helpful.

Cons

The ONLY thing I don't like about it is not being able to write my own custom reports.
