Where Comind.work is different
Comind.work serves regulated companies across life sciences, pharma, biotech, and medtech. If your organization works across multiple product types or regulatory frameworks, you get one QMS for everything.
Run on your own infrastructure, private cloud, or our managed cloud. Greenlight Guru is cloud-only. For organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements, this matters.
No module-based upselling. Every Comind.work deployment includes the complete QMS. Greenlight Guru charges separately for some modules and premium features.
You receive the complete source code and documentation. No vendor lock-in. You control your quality system infrastructure.
Being honest
Greenlight Guru was built exclusively for medical devices. Their design controls, risk management, and post-market surveillance workflows are purpose-built for this vertical, not configured from a general framework.
With 1,000+ medical device customers, Greenlight Guru has deep domain expertise and a community of medical device quality professionals.
Greenlight Guru has extensive experience supporting customers through FDA submissions and has built features specifically to simplify that process.
