How to evaluate an alternative
When comparing FMEA tools, check three things: whether it follows the AIAG-VDA standard (structure, seven steps, Action Priority), whether it fits how your team works (cloud vs desktop), and whether you can get your data out in a format your customers accept (Excel). QSA Hub is built around all three.
