The customer support is stellar. They've been able to remotely figure out every situation I've had with ease. Very sharp in not just ApeCal, but their understanding of computer operations and file storage has helped to rectify every imaginable issue. Clicking and dragging a picture or a calibration cert is so easy too\! > > **Cons**: The only thing I wish was easier, is when I enter a new calibration on an existing unit, I wish the 'company', 'as found' and 'as left' fields could be set to a default. ----- ### "Specifically aimed at Customer Service" — 5.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *7 June 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I deal with a lot customer service departments for software and hardware every week and you guys are better than 95% of them. Thanks so much for your help. > > **Cons**: I have limited experience with the product itself. > > My experience has been excellent thus far. ----- ### "Helps me to schedule calibration of our equipment." — 3.0/5 > **Jane** | *9 April 2018* > > **Pros**: Looks a lot like Windows so it gives a familiarity to the person using the tool. The customer support team has always responded promptly and always answered any questions I had. > > **Cons**: I don't really use the software to its potential so I can't really say there are cons. I basically use it to schedule the calibration of our equipment. ----- ### "First Time Exposure to Calibration Control" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *5 November 2019* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are several 'Pros:' 1. The program is virtually 'Instant On,' meaning very little time is lost waiting for the program to load, 2. An active user manual is available online for ready reference, 3. Updates are readily available, 4. Valuable informational status is readily seen, and 5. Fields have color coding to reflect current status of the tool. > > **Cons**: The package is not readily intuitive, meaning use of the Manual and / or call-in to the company representative is needed; although, we used Excel, up to this point, to track calibration status and functioned from that point of view, which was one dimensional and did not provide enough information, the benefits of this package outweigh any negatives. > > Overall experience is quite positive\! When I ran the limit of the Manual and needed further assistance, the APE Software Calibration Control Customer Service Representative, CSR, was extremely helpful, and is representative of the heart and strength of the company. She abundantly answered all of my questions and provided insight into the power of the software. Representative introduced me to the 'Teamviewer,' which, in my view, provides for dynamic customer / representative interface. Through the use of Teamviewer, more than vocalization of what to do, over the phone, was displayed as she showed me real time what to do and then let me demonstrate what she had shown me, in order to ensure I fully understood the concepts. Having been, myself, a trainer within Quality Assurance, the foregoing indelibly etched what I learned. Representative apparent sterling knowledge and understanding of the software spurred me, at one point, to ask her whether she was a program developer. I have had to make multiple calls seeking answers to perplexing questions and Representative has effectively answered all of them. Summarizing, based upon the power of the software and the company’s customer service, I strongly recommend this software. ----- ### "Major Update of APE Software" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 January 2019* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the way the screen can be laid out, sorted, things hidden from, view, etc. Much better than when we tried to do our own thing with EXCEL. > > **Cons**: I am not good with Access so I went to a course on that just to understand what was going on in the background. > > It is mandatory that my group maintains our calibration certificates in an orderly manner as we are audited periodically. Thanks to this software we have passed every audit with flying colors since we implemented the APE Software. Special thanks to rep for talking me thru this update and actually doing the majority of the work as we were at least 10 revisions behind. She was excellent\! ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/92383/calibration-control?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/92383/calibration-control) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
