Small IT footprint (doesn't require massive resources). Very good tech support when needed. Extremely budget friendly > > **Cons**: Our original implementation was using an Access Database. This relied on a stable local network, which we unfortunately didn't have. Resulted in drop-outs and crashes. We migrated to a Cloud SQL server and never had a problem. > > From initial implementation of an Access database to our migration to cloud-based SQL, any issues we had were resolved very quickly. The UI was easy to navigate for a variety of user competencies ----- ### "Equipment Shop Manager" — 5.0/5 > **Isaac** | *26 February 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We clawed back a ton of time. It handles the tracking so well that we can actually focus on the work in the shop instead of being stuck behind a screen doing manual data entry. It isn't a "one-size-fits-all" deal. We were able to tweak it to fit exactly how we run things, which is huge for us. Their support is top-tier. Any time I’ve had an issue, they either fix it on the spot or tell me they’ll put it in a future update. > > **Cons**: There’s definitely a bit of a learning curve at the start because there are so many options to customize. It’s a minor hurdle, but you do have to put in a little time upfront to get it dialed in. > > Honestly, APE Calibration Control has been a game changer for us. The time we’ve saved on documentation alone is massive, and knowing that the support team actually listens to my feedback makes a huge difference. ----- ### "20+ year user and still continuing to be happy with Calibration Control\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *20 October 2025* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Honestly, the best part about this Calibration Control software is how simple it is to use. Right from the installation, it's so easy to figure out and navigate, very minimal learning curve. Plus, the options for customizing things are endless—it really lets you set it up exactly the way you need it. In addition, I truly appreciate the security features and security levels you can have with the program to ensure your information is not only safe but only certain individuals can modify it. > > **Cons**: My biggest complaint isn't about the product itself—it's that I didn't upgrade sooner\! Seriously, I should have switched over years ago. > > We've been using Calibration Control for a long time—over 20 years, in fact\! We started with a really early, standalone version on a few computers, and everyone already loved how easy it was to use back then. Now that we've finally upgraded, we are absolutely thrilled\! There are so many more options, and having it network-compatible is fantastic. There wasn't much of a learning curve, but the help topics and references are so extensive, they cover virtually everything you could want to do. What truly makes this product stand out, though, is the customer service. I have dealt with a lot of customer support over the years, and none of them even come close to the level of service I get with Calibration Control. They genuinely go above and beyond to help. The representative I worked with was incredibly she was very patient, explained every step clearly and concisely, and took the time to fully understand what I needed to get done. It’s a top-tier product with unmatched support. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Excellent calibration software. Fits our operation perfectly." — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *11 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is extremely easy to set up and use. We don't utilize every feature that's available, but it's nice to know it's there if we decide to. The customer support team is fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. The developer also seems very receptive to tweaks and modifications if you should happen to notice anything that may personally benefit your operation. Ongoing support and frequent updates are also a couple of things I like about this program. > > **Cons**: I honestly have no complaints or dislikes. This software fits our needs and plays an important role in our daily operations. If I had one wish, it would be that this software tied into our instrumentation repair history database. That's of course no fault of this program; it's simply a desire to streamline our overall process. > > Better management of calibrations through use of software. Before Cal Control we were documenting all our calibration data and records through Excel Spreadsheets. This has streamlined our process and allows far better data collection and record keeping. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/42536/calibration-control?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/42536/calibration-control) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
