## Reviews

### "Propulsion 2025 experience" — 5.0/5

> **Lennie** | *29 May 2025* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user group and the live demos to the new Propel features. The guest speakers were great as well\! I enjoyed all the AI discussions.
> 
> **Cons**: The user group session room was too small and hard to hear the speakers. If each session had its own room, it would have helped.
> 
> It was a great experience to network and meet Propel Staff in person. The user group was a great way to learn how others are using the system.

### "Propel Document management and qulity management reviews" — 3.0/5

> **Ramin** | *19 March 2025* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very flexible, can be set up based on the intended purpose. The user interface is straightforward.
> 
> **Cons**: there are lots of bugs. for example  creating and exporting PDF reports do not work. or after we updated to a news revision last year, there was a limitation on File lenghts that was not there before. these issues atre fixed in subsequent releases However, for us to upgrade we need to go through a validation process that is costly and time consuming.
> 
> to me it looks like any other document control system. It does not have any feature that stands out.

### "I would recommend Propel to anyone" — 5.0/5

> **Stivalis** | *03 March 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Propel allows users to consolidate from multiple platforms into once single interconnected platform. It has proven to reduce development time and facilitate data management.
> 
> **Cons**: DHF management seems challenging. This is tricky, there is not an easy solution for the challenges that Breg has
Also, the management of documents is not ideal.
> 
> I use propel every day, not only for my Product Development job, but also to support our manufacturing teams into any challenges they might have. I can't imagine going back to how we were doing things pre-propel.

### "Lead Product Quality Engineer" — 5.0/5

> **Lei** | *23 May 2025* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Powerful application that has seemingly unlimited possibilities for managing our QMS and PLM.  I also like the easy configurable features.  The Propel academy is fantastic for the new users to learn.
> 
> **Cons**: I have not found the cons yet. We are new to Propel.  So far, the experience was very positive personally.

-----

### "Propel Eliminates Silos" — 4.0/5

> **Kyle** | *08 July 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and seamless integration with Salesforce. Its strong BOM layout and engineering change order (ECO) functionality is particularly helpful for managing product data and revisions
> 
> **Cons**: There was a learning curve that was somewhat difficult for our users who were unfamiliar with Salesforce. Slow performance when handling large attachments.
> 
> We are very pleased with our decision to migrate to Propel from our previous solution provider. We have gained real-time visibility into product data and processes, enabling better decision-making and faster time-to-market.
