Common frustrations with Greenlight Guru

Teams evaluating Greenlight Guru for complete medical device development consistently report the same limitations.

QMS-first, not a complete ALM platformGreenlight Guru is built primarily as a QMS solution, so teams needing full ALM capabilities will still rely on additional tools.
End-to-end traceability limited to QMS scopeFull item-level traceability from software requirements to V&V results requires additional integrations for SaMD teams.
AI assistant restricted to higher pricing tiersAI-powered features like design control suggestions and risk generation are locked behind premium plans.
Not ISO 13485 certified as a vendorGreenlight Guru does not hold vendor-level certification, a potential gap for companies whose auditors assess supplier quality systems.
Workflows less configurable than dedicated ALM platformsTeams with complex, multi-product processes may find the configurability more limited than purpose-built ALM platforms.
SaMD traceability depends on DevOps integrationsSoftware-intensive device teams must rely on third-party integrations like Jira, adding configuration overhead rather than native management.
