Common frustrations with GxpManager
Teams switching from GxpManager consistently report the same pain points.
Designed for pharma, not medical device
GxpManager was built with pharmaceutical workflows at its core — drug development, batch records, and clinical trial quality. Medical device teams working to ISO 13485 or IEC 62304 find themselves bending the tool to fit design control workflows it was never optimised for. The result is workarounds, missing traceability links, and a system that doesn't speak the language of hardware or software-based device development.
Long and expensive implementation
Getting GxpManager to a validated, production-ready state is a significant project. Many teams report implementation timelines of three to six months, often requiring specialist consultants to configure and validate the system. For early-stage and growth-phase medical device companies, this upfront cost and delay is a serious barrier to getting compliance processes in place quickly.
No meaningful AI capabilities
GxpManager offers basic workflow automation but lacks any AI-native functionality. Quality teams are left manually reviewing documents, classifying non-conformances, and building risk assessments from scratch. In a market where AI-assisted CAPA root cause analysis, intelligent change control, and auto-generated quality reports are becoming standard, GxpManager's toolset feels increasingly dated.
Fragmented compliance coverage
GxpManager is an eQMS — but that's all it is. Device teams that also need requirements management, design verification traceability, and software lifecycle documentation must bolt on separate tools and manually maintain links between them. This fragmentation creates audit risk, version control headaches, and significant ongoing overhead for quality and engineering teams alike.
Poor fit for EU regulatory requirements
Teams navigating MDR or IVDR find that GxpManager's templates and workflows are heavily oriented toward FDA and US-market requirements. Building out EU Technical Documentation structure, clinical evaluation report workflows, and EUDAMED submission readiness requires significant customisation that is not supported out of the box.
Limited and US-centric customer support
GxpManager's support function is largely US-based, which creates frustrating time-zone gaps for European and Asia-Pacific teams. Customers report slow ticket response times, limited proactive guidance during implementation, and a lack of dedicated customer success management — particularly for smaller or mid-market medical device companies.
