How Unifize outpaces Greenlight Guru in Life Science innovation

Modern life science teams move fast and depend on seamless collaboration to stay compliant. Greenlight Guru offers an eQMS with “audit-tested” workflows and ready-made templates for medical device companies. But this structure often comes at a cost. Its rigid design and rising expenses make it difficult to scale or adapt. Instead of fostering agility, GLG locks teams into predefined processes that can’t match the pace of modern innovation.

Common complaints from Greenlight Guru users

Rigid by design

“Audit-tested” workflows ensure compliance but create friction that slows down projects and innovation.

Collaboration bottlenecks

A document-first approach limits real-time collaboration, causing delays in decision-making and team alignment.

The cost of growth

Appears affordable at first, but costs rise steeply as teams scale, turning manageable expenses into a financial burden.
