Comparison
Q-Hub vs Montrium
Montrium is a clinical operations platform for life sciences, built on Microsoft Azure, with eTMF, regulatory documents and quality for pharma, biotech, CROs and device manufacturers. Q-Hub is a QHSE system for manufacturers, engineers and testing labs. Different buyers, and usually not a real choice between the two.
Montrium is a trademark of its owner. Shown here to identify the product being compared; Q-Hub is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

The short answer
Read this and you may not need the rest of the page.
Choose Montrium if…
You run clinical trials. eTMF Connect and RegDocs Connect are built for trial master files and regulatory submissions, and nothing in Q-Hub does that job.
Choose Q-Hub if…
Your compliance is operational QHSE across ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001 — audits, incidents, CAPA, documents and training on an operating site.
Choose neither if…
You need both clinical operations and a full QHSE system. Those are two products with two different audiences.

Where Q-Hub is the better choice
Each one checkable against their own published material.
QHSE all four letters
Health, safety and environment
- Montrium
- Not named
- Q-Hub
- Yes
Their products name document control, training management, CAPA management, change control and Risk & Oversight. Health and safety is not among them, and neither is environmental management. If you certify to ISO 45001 or 14001, that is a second system.
A full audit programme
- Montrium
- Not named
- Q-Hub
- Yes — full audit programme
Audit management is not named among their products. Q-Hub runs a scheduled programme across internal, supplier and process audits, with findings tracked to verified closure.
£85 a month, published
You can see the price before you speak to anyone
- Montrium
- Not published
- Q-Hub
- Yes — from £85/month
Their site links to a pricing page but displays no figures. Q-Hub publishes its plans.
An audit programme, not a document library
Montrium does not name audit management. This is the part a manufacturer runs every month: scheduled audits against the clauses you are certified to, conducted in the field, findings raising corrective actions as they are logged.

Where Montrium is the better choice
Cases where we would tell you to choose them, because a comparison page that never concedes is not worth reading.
You run clinical trials
- Montrium
- Yes — eTMF Connect and RegDocs Connect
- Q-Hub
- No — not offered
eTMF Connect and RegDocs Connect handle trial master files and regulatory documents. Q-Hub offers neither, and there is no version of this comparison where we are the better answer for clinical operations.
You need a validated system
- Montrium
- Yes — named
- Q-Hub
- No — we do not claim it
They name FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EudraLex Volume 4 Annex 11 and ICH E6(R3). Q-Hub does not claim formal computer-system validation.
What you would actually pay

Feature deep-dive
Montrium builds for clinical operations. eTMF Connect and RegDocs Connect are the products, 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 are named, and document control, CAPA and training sit underneath them.
Audit management is not named. Neither is health and safety management or environmental management. For a clinical team that is the right shape; for a manufacturer it is most of the operating system missing, because the audit programme is how ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001 are actually run.
The two rarely compete for the same buyer. If you run trials and your document burden is the trial master file, Montrium is built for you and Q-Hub is not. If you run sites, it is the other way round.
- Full audit programme, scheduled and carried out in the field
- Health, safety and environment alongside quality
- Published pricing from £85/month
- Live in about four weeks, implementation included

Switching from Montrium
What a move actually involves.
This is usually not a switch
If you run clinical trials, keep the platform that does eTMF. The question is what runs QHSE alongside it.
What comes across
Documents, training records and CAPA records, mapped rather than flattened.
What stays behind
Trial master files, regulatory submissions and anything validated.
What we cannot promise
We have not migrated a Montrium tenant end to end.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. eTMF Connect and RegDocs Connect are built for trial master files and regulatory documents. Q-Hub does neither, and if you run clinical trials you should keep a platform that does.
Health and safety, environmental management and a full audit programme — none of which are named among Montrium’s products.
No. We do not claim 21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11 or ICH E6(R3) compliance. Montrium names all three.
They publish no figures. Q-Hub publishes £85, £245 and £530 a month with implementation included.
Yes — clinical operations in Montrium, operational QHSE in Q-Hub, connected via REST API, webhooks and SSO.
Four weeks is standard, including data migration and role-based training.
Yes — the three standards share a harmonised ten-clause structure, which is why BSI, the UK national standards body, runs them as a single integrated management system: “an integrated management system for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001”. Q-Hub runs all three as one audit programme, so a finding closes once against whichever standard it belongs to instead of being re-entered somewhere else. Montrium is built for clinical operations, so an operational audit programme across the three standards is not what it is for.
Built for sites, not for trials
If you run an audit programme across operating sites rather than a trial master file, see it against your own standards in 30 minutes.
