Common frustrations with IFUcare

Teams comparing IFUcare with an owned platform tend to raise the same points.

A service, not a platformIFUcare is delivered as a managed service by the QbD Group. You depend on their team for changes rather than controlling the platform directly.
Consultancy retainer modelThe service-led model can mean ongoing fees and turnaround times that a self-serve SaaS avoids.
Less direct controlPublishing, versioning and updates run through the provider, which can slow iteration for fast-moving teams.
No integrated quality suiteeIFU content sits apart from your QMS and design records rather than in one connected platform.
Scaling means more serviceAs your product range and languages grow, so does reliance on the managed service.
Analytics and self-serve reportingDirect, real-time access analytics are less central to a service-led model.
