GageList

Initial Overview

Kommentare: All of my experience has been from a preliminary evaluation. I will update my experience after I have had more time using the product.

Vorteile:

This product is very easy to use and has many useful features.

Nachteile:

It would be nice to see a version of this product more geared toward the Water and Wastewater industry.

So Far, So Good

Kommentare: It has been a positive experience to this point, no complaints here.

Vorteile:

When comparing with other Calibration Management Systems, I liked the pricing, cloud-based storage, and ability to be utilized by multiple personnel.

Nachteile:

At this point I haven't really found any major problems with the software. There are things that could flow a little easier, or be more instinctual to access.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: GAGEpack

Gründe für den Wechsel zu GageList: Primarily because of pricing as it relates to multiple users.

So so

Vorteile:

It helps recall my calibrated equipment.

Nachteile:

It's not tailored to my type of business. It is too slow to enter data.

Intuitive and easy to use

Kommentare: Managing the data for all our measuring devices as per ISO requirements and the monthly reports are great as a reminder to know when there are gauges than need to get calibrated ahead of time. For our company, managing the calibration records was a new thing. It was very easy to jump into GageList and just plug and play all the information needed.

Vorteile:

The interface is clean, simple and clear. There are enough places to enter more data then we need ourselves but could satisfy the needs of other companies. It is customizable to be applied to many industries. Works great to manage data and gets reports for our QMS.

Nachteile:

In the beginning, there were not many tiers for pricing. For us being a smaller company the different pricing options are much better.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: TrackPro

Gründe für den Wechsel zu GageList: Simple and clean design. Easy to use and start with.

Gagelist is completely customizable for any application

Vorteile:

Very easy to use and simple to set up. Unlimited users with access to the database on mobile as well. Completely customizable. We have reported 2 bugs and both times have been fixed in under an hour.

Nachteile:

Still needs a check in/out function, but I hear they are working on it.

Great Software

Kommentare: GageList has made calibration management very simple.

Vorteile:

I like it's ease of use. I was able to navigate and perform tasks as soon as I logged in for the first time.

Nachteile:

When I try to back up to a previous screen (like from the "Active Gage" list back to the dashboard), it takes me to a completely different page. Easier put, the back button on the browser doesn't go back to the previous page. It's not a huge deal, just an observation.

GageList for tracking gages for calibration

Kommentare: GageList has made it far easier to track our gages and assigned locations. We are happy with the software.

Vorteile:

Tracking calibrated tools in GageList is a simple way to set automatic alerts each year. We are not a calibrator, but we track a few hundred gages for our lab.

Nachteile:

Initially, there were some features that needed to be added to work efficiently, but as time has progressed, those features were added, and work well.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Asset Panda, GAGEtrak und Beamex CMX

Gründe für den Wechsel zu GageList: Simple user interface, helpful assistance, free trial, low bar of entry, seemed geared for user/technician, which was appealing, since we are not a cal lab (might still be useful for a lab).

For the Money Gagelist is the answer

Kommentare: Our company has been in business for over 100 years with multiple manufacturing facilities, and more recently been under IS 9001 certification for 15 years. In that time because each facility "managed" their asset calibrations as they saw fit, there were gaps and nonconformance's in calibration documentation found in nearly every surveillance audit conducted. As a result, we recently employed Gagelist to our manufacturing sites so every facility has a central location to store asset calibration data.

Vorteile:

Product is easy to use, whether navigating in general, or setting up/loading gages. The software also has custom settings offerings so you can tailor the look to your business.

Nachteile:

Mass uploads of gages is a bit cumbersome at first, however, the technical support offered by Gagelist helped us get past that very quickly.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: GAGEtrak

Gründe für den Wechsel zu GageList: We chose Gagelist because of the ease of use of the product, as well as it being web/cloud based. We liked the idea of not purchasing canned software that would need to be installed on multiple PC's.

Gagelist

Kommentare: Gagelist does everything we need it to do. It is a great database for our gage assets and the related calibrations. It has some nice built-in reports with the ability to download data.

Vorteile:

The product is easy to use and has a great deal of built in functionality. The dashboard is laid out well and very convenient.

Nachteile:

The interface is somewhat confusing and the flexibility of the on-screen display is limited.

Flexible cal management and excellent support

Kommentare: Gagelist allows me to effortlessly manage our calibrated devices and one less thing I'm manually tracking for our ISO certification. Calibration isn't *fun*, but GageList definitely makes it *easy*!

Vorteile:

GageList can be used for much more than just Gages. The platform is flexible enough to allow for creation and maintenance of non gage devices. We track multimeters, safety analyzers and soldering equipment. GageList allows us to create our own OEM information for each device and track who it is assigned to. It's also AWESOME to walk through your facility with an auditor, have them address calibration and simply pull your phone out of your pocket to show them devices, cal certs and locations of devices.

Nachteile:

Date management can be a challenge at times. Sometimes have to delete a device and recreate it if an error is made on date entered service or last calibrated. Initially had some errors with the out-of-cal reminder emails but seems to be resolved now.

User Friendly

Kommentare: It has been a positive experience so far.

Vorteile:

Easy to understand and use this product.

Nachteile:

Nothing is undesirable in this product.

Sure Shot likes GageList intensely.

Kommentare: Far better than I could have hoped for.

Vorteile:

Dashboard shows quick results. As well, I can modify it to run my numbers by asset number.

Nachteile:

I am still learning the forms part of the software, so will reserve judgement until I learn what I can and rely on support ( which is great) for help in the future.

When all else fails

Kommentare: Overall, great. It gets me through the challenge of lacking sufficient licensing to more expensive software, which is my company's current struggle.

Vorteile:

The ability to organize gages in a way that tracks, and send notifications is the most simplistically important features that GageList provides. I also like that I can export and utilize the information in any way needed. The ability to track calibration records and document tracking to gages are also great features.

Nachteile:

The only downside to GageList was the lack of company or user specific needs. For instance, in my company we have fixtures, that are connected to specific programs, each fixture has its own tool(s). Each fixture has 3 important values: the asset ID, the fixture ID, and the program ID, and several programs and can be connected to each fixture. Each tool has its own of each value as well. This is a bit difficult to track using GageList, but it's not impossible in some form. I simply utilized other fields for the values I needed. For example, the "source/vendor" field became my tool ID field. However, I really wished that I could also list the vendor, which of course did not always match the name of the manufacture - so I couldn't use that field as a substitute.

GageList review

Kommentare: We are just starting with calibration tracking and this software makes it easy, I really didn't know where to start until I came across this. I like that each gauge can be designated a specific area so I know right were to go when it is up for calibration. This feature also ensures that each gauge remains where it is intended (they used to wander between areas) since the frequency of calibration varies from gauge to gauge.

Vorteile:

I like that each instrument has it's own control number and history. It's nice that there are drop down menus for certain sections that you can also add to for customization. I also like the notifications for calibration and the fact that there is a customizable label maker.

Nachteile:

It would be nice if there were more drop down menus, such as for "Range of Size" or " Accuracy" so that they wouldn't have to be re-entered (although you can copy an existing gauge and use that data, which I like).

Easy to use and does exactly what it's needed for

Vorteile:

This product is extremely intuitive. the GageList team offered assistance throughout the entire implementation and after, but I was able to train all our users on it without much assistance needed.

Nachteile:

I would like to see some more features included such as Gage R&Rs.

Critical Calibration Control

Kommentare: So far has been good, have learned on the way

Vorteile:

Integration and control, keeps us updated on past and present calibrations

Nachteile:

Signature programing is complicated not to frendly

Professional Calibration system

Kommentare: We are very pleased with GageList, we have been able to link all our facilities to the system, and maintain a reliable calibration system with it.

Vorteile:

What we like most about GageList was the ability to quickly transfer all our inspection and test equipment over into the new system. We were worried that it could take several days, to re-enter our data, when in fact, it only took a couple hours to finish.

Nachteile:

Because we have several employees, departments, and facilities, we would like to see an additional field added to the calibration due list to take us to specific departments and employees.

RAM JACK MANUFACTURING LLC GAGELIST

Kommentare: I DO THINK THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE SINCE THE USER DOES ALL THE WORK. I DON'T SEE WHERE THERE IS MUCH THAT COULD GO WRONG ON YOUR END. IT'S ALL PRETTY BASIC.

Vorteile:

TUTORIALS NOT REALLY NEEDED. BASIC INFORMATION STORED AND EASE OF ACCESS.

Nachteile:

NO PLACE TO STORE PROCEDURES RELATED TO EACH GAGE. CURRENTLY YOU HAVE TO UPLOAD AND ATTACH TO EACH GAGE IT IS RELATED TO. THIS UTILIZES A LOT OF STORAGE. IT WOULD BE EASIER TO SEND INVITES A LINK WHERE THEY MAY SET THEIR OWN PASSWORD. SET UP A DUMMY PAGE WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHAT INFORMATION IS STORED WHERE (WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS OF EACH TITLE IS)

GageList Calibration System

Kommentare: We use GageList on a daily basis for calibration control. I really like the daily e-mails I receive on the calibration status

Vorteile:

The ease of searching. The software is very user friendly

Nachteile:

Adding a new gage is way to time consuming

Great work

Kommentare: It's been absolutely fantastic. What I like the least about this software honestly pales in comparison to all the functionality and ease of use that exists in this software with zero local memory space and quick updating.

Vorteile:

The web based functionality is fantastic and quick.

Nachteile:

Though there is a lot of customization, there are certain items that I would like to have a little more options when is comes to changing the default information.

Equipment Calibration Software - Excellent

Vorteile:

It is really easy to use and fast to add sensors. The feature that allows you to copy a gauge so one can add another one is perfect. It serves as a template for future sensors. Customer service was great when I had questions.

Nachteile:

I can't say it has any negative items at this point.

A great package for tracking, basic functions.

Kommentare: We now have automated emails and a centralized location to track all calibrations.

Vorteile:

This provides an easy to use interface, and good flexibility for managing the calibrations. It does not have some advanced features in other software, so be sure it meets your needs. For most ISO approved manufactures, this will work and be a big improvement over home-made databases or paper forms.

Nachteile:

I don't think I have anything I dislike. However, I would like a better tutorial that I can give the users in my organization. I have some that are very computer savvy, and are teaching me things. But I have others who have difficulty with email, and needed more hand holding.

Good easy to use software

Kommentare: This program allows us to have varying users access the database remotely which is a great advantage for us compared to the old gauge track system that only allowed license on one computer. It should be a significant improvement in user experience just for that reason.

Vorteile:

I really like how easy to use the product was. The user interface was graphically very pleasing and the report functions were a lot more intuitive than some of the other software I've used

Nachteile:

I wish that there is a way the system could Differentiate between maintenance and calibration more readily. Like a preset option that allows you to Filter.It would also be nice if this could take gauge track records from a pre existing file and implant them.

Review

Kommentare: Works well for top down

Vorteile:

Global - Being able to utilize this globally. Also the Mobile function as to where I can check on phone.

Nachteile:

Nothing that I can state right off hand - does the work I was expecting.

Pricing feedback

Vorteile:

Ease of use and label printing and entering tools

Nachteile:

Pricing needs to have another bracket for tool counts in our range
