Pros This is a powerful and customisable document management system with applicability across the scope of medical device regulatory activities. We use it both for our core activities and as part of a client offering. Cons Steep initial learning curve due to the power of the software. However, this is counteracted by great on-boarding support.

All there from the beginning Cons I cannot „tweak“ nor bypass the system as all the steps are logged Alternatives considered [OpenText Documentum Content Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/233488/OpenText-Documentum/) [Confluence](https://www.capterra.com/p/136446/Confluence/) Reasons for choosing CogniDox CogniDox was the only one to offer all the modules at once, e.g. workflows, training, forms, extranet, etc with a single price, on EU-servers only, secured and fully pre-valdated.

Director of Product Management Information Technology and Services ### "Cognidox for " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 20, 2022 As a technology company, we have a lot of files and documentation. The business problem that Cognidox solves is accessing the valuable "wood" among the "tress". As as supplier, Cognidox have been very second to none in their efforts to train our staff and show how the tool can work for our business. Highly recommended on this aspect. Pros For us, Cognidox delivers an excellent Document Management System for a highly technical organisation with complex products. Cognidox helps answer the "where do I find the latest version of..." question, whether that be for Product, Engineering or Sales teams. This means that everyone has fast, easy access to current information that can be relied up and reviewed/approved as necessary. The linkage with extranet gives the ability to rapidly publish to our customers with a single tool. Cons For us, Cognidox is not an ideal tool for early collaboration on new pieces of work. We are using when documents are heading towards completion and need to be rigorously reviewed, approved and saved for access by the organisation.

COO Medical Devices ### "Fantastic tool for QMS geeks!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 20, 2022 The entire process from demo, training and implementation has been wonderful. The acceptance of the tool within the organization was very fast and growing by the week! Pros This is a very versatile product and simple to use. The workflows are very powerful and helps build compliance to several standards with ease. Cons Certain standard terminology is missing, for example - Training Profile, Training requirements etc. The features are available though!

CEO Medical Devices ### "Best value for money and excellent customer support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 7, 2021 Company customer oriented politics is open and honest. From the begining if they say - you will get this and this, believe me its true. A lot of trainings are free of charge and it is really nice. 2 Month Demo version also provides you with the full spectre of the software features. Competitors provides only 2 weeks of demo, some of them dont do it at all. We are really hapy that we found Cognidox with their best support team. Pros 20 users from the beginning. Extranet possibility to create accounts for your suppliers. Excellent documentation management and control. Audit trial. Electronis signatures with your own authentificator. All this will help you to deal with dozens of the regulations in the MedTech industry. Cons At the beginning the interface looked a little bit "not user friendly", but after the trainings and understanding "how to" you find out a lot of different possibilities to customize it for your needs and interface is the latest thing you are look for.

TG Trevor G. Director Professional Training & Coaching ### "A great value product with excellent features and unparalleled support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 11, 2017 Enhanced document control and system management Pros As a Management Systems Consultant, I was introduced to this package by two clients who had already been using it. I found it to be very powerful and quick to learn. Several other clients have independently chosen to use this solution and I can see why. I have used many document management packages across my client base and CogniDox is by far the best-featured product I have come across. The more you use it the more you learn what it can do for enhancing your management system and optimizing your organization's effectiveness. In addition, the customer support is outstanding, with timely and helpful support provided in real time, and openness to enhancement going forward. Cons The user interface may not be considered to be as modern as some other web interfaces (but for internal use within an organization I do not consider this to be a high priority).

Just wanted to say what great support Cognidox provide - questions are answered promptly and difficulties always overcome. Also seems to be almost 24x7 with a very small team, most impressive.

TR Tanja R. ### "Good software and outstanding support" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 0.0 0.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 June 15, 2015 Our company has used Cognidox for a few years. We used a simple net drive before, so it has been challenging to get people used to document management system concepts such as document numbers as containers, and the added steps needed to create and manage content in a structured way. It was however a necessary change as the company grew. We have had some difficulties, for example with the automatic PDF conversion and automatic modification of document properties in MS Office, but for the most part it has worked well. The web interface is easier to use than other DMS I have tried. The strongest point of Cognidox is the excellent customer support, which is very quick and effective.

The functionality of the system is extensive, at both document and category levels, and provides efficiency and accuracy in dealing with our documentation. Exceptional customer support provides swift responses and well-explained solutions to any issues, with the added benefit of being fully open to customer suggestions on system modifications.

Also offers great added value functionality, specifically the built-in Intranet / graphical Quality Management System which we have just chosen to replace our previous SharePoint-based system (for ease of use, cost, and maintainability reasons). Customer service is a bonus - CogniDox is highly responsive both to requests for assistance and suggestions for future enhancements.
