Q-Hub vs Qualsys
If you are searching for Qualsys, start here: qualsys.co.uk now redirects to ideagen.com, and the Qualsys name does not appear anywhere on the site it lands on. The Sheffield-built EQMS is sold as Ideagen Quality Management inside an 18,500-customer portfolio. This page compares what is there now.

The short answer
Read this and you may not need the rest of the page.
Choose Ideagen if…
You need 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 13485, AS9100 or IATF 16949 built in, you are a regulated manufacturer, and an enterprise platform with a long roadmap suits you.
Choose Q-Hub if…
You are UK mid-market, you want a published price and a named plan, and you would rather buy from the company that will still be answering the phone in three years.
Ask Ideagen…
what happens to the Qualsys product line and its roadmap. A redirect and a renamed product are not the same as a commitment.

Each one checkable against their own published material.
Zero mentions of Qualsys on ideagen.com
You know who you are buying from
- Qualsys
- No — qualsys.co.uk redirects to ideagen.com, which does not mention Qualsys
- Q-Hub
- Q-Hub is sold under one name, by the company that built it
qualsys.co.uk returns a 301 to ideagen.com. Across nine Ideagen pages read on 22 September 2026, the word "Qualsys" appears no times at all. Q-Hub is one product, one name, sold by the people who built it.
£245 a month, published
A published price
- Qualsys
- No — no pricing page; /pricing returns 404
- Q-Hub
- Yes — from £85/month
Ideagen publishes no pricing page — ideagen.com/pricing returns a 404, and every product CTA is a demo booking. Q-Hub publishes the price and what is in each plan.
A trial, not just a demo
- Qualsys
- Not offered — every route is a demo booking
- Q-Hub
- 30 days, no card
Every route into Ideagen is "Book a demo" or "See it in action". Q-Hub gives you 30 days with your own data and no card.
All three QHSE standards in one system
- Qualsys
- ISO 9001 named; 45001 and 14001 not named on the quality platform
- Q-Hub
- Yes — all three
Ideagen splits EHS and Quality into separate product lines with separate pages. Q-Hub covers ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001 in one system, which is the point of an integrated management system.
Priced for the mid-market
- Qualsys
- Named by solution area, but no plan breakdown and no price
- Q-Hub
- Published, with a plan-by-plan breakdown
Ideagen names solution areas but no plans and no figures, which is how enterprise software is sold. Q-Hub publishes the plan breakdown so you can build a business case without a call.
Scoped to what you need
- Qualsys
- Yes — 21 CFR Part 11 named as built in
- Q-Hub
- No — we do not claim it
Ideagen carries 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 13485, AS9100 and IATF 16949. If you do not need those, you are paying for depth you will not use. Q-Hub does not claim validated-system status and does not charge for it.

Where Qualsys 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 are a regulated manufacturer
- Qualsys
- Yes — 21 CFR Part 11 named as built in
- Q-Hub
- No — we do not claim it
Ideagen names ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11, AS9100 and IATF 16949 as built in. Q-Hub does not claim 21 CFR Part 11 or Annex 11 compliance. If you are in medical devices, pharma or aerospace, they have done work we have not.
You need supplier quality at depth
- Qualsys
- Yes — qualification, scorecards and supply chain risk
- Q-Hub
- Yes
Ideagen publishes supplier qualification, performance scorecards and supply chain risk as a dedicated product area with GFSI and IATF coverage. Ours is supplier management, not supply-chain risk management.
You want one vendor for EHS and quality at scale
- Qualsys
- Yes — a separate EHS product line, not part of the quality platform
- Q-Hub
- Yes
Ideagen runs EHS, Compliance and Quality as separate product lines across an 18,500-organisation base. At genuine enterprise scale that breadth is an advantage.
You are already an Ideagen customer
- Qualsys
- Quality, EHS and compliance across a 18,500-customer GRC portfolio
- Q-Hub
- Quality, health, safety and environment
If other parts of your business already run on Ideagen, staying put avoids an integration problem you would otherwise have to solve.
What you would actually pay
Set your team size and see the Q-Hub price. Ideagen publishes no figures — their pricing URL returns a 404 — so nothing on their side is estimated here.
Qualsys
No — no pricing page; /pricing returns 404
Published pricing is not available, so the figure depends on a quote.
- Free trial: Not offered — every route is a demo booking
Q-Hub figures are our published prices. Qualsys does not publish prices, so nothing is estimated on their side — their column quotes their own pricing page, read 2026-09-22.
Feature deep-dive
Qualsys built EQMS in Sheffield and sold it to UK mid-market quality teams for years. That product still exists; it is sold as Ideagen Quality Management, and it is good. Document control, CAPA, audits, training, supplier quality and inspection are connected in one platform, with ISO 9001, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11, AS9100 and IATF 16949 named as built in rather than bolted on.
What changed is everything around it. qualsys.co.uk now returns a 301 to ideagen.com. On the nine Ideagen pages read for this comparison, the word "Qualsys" does not appear once. There is no pricing page — ideagen.com/pricing returns a 404 — and every call to action is a demo booking. The product is one line inside a portfolio serving 18,500 organisations, and EHS, Compliance and Quality are sold as three separate things.
None of that makes it a bad system. It makes it a different purchase from the one people search for when they type "Qualsys". If you are a regulated manufacturer who needs 21 CFR Part 11, Ideagen is the stronger answer and we would tell you so. If you are a UK mid-market business that wants quality, health, safety and environment in one system, at a published price, from a company whose whole business is that system, the comparison is worth making.

Switching from Qualsys
What a move actually involves.
Find out what you are on
Ask Ideagen which product and which version your licence covers, and what the roadmap is for it. That answer decides whether this is even a decision.
What comes across
Controlled documents and version history, audit and CAPA records, training records, supplier data.
Run both for a while
Two to four weeks in parallel before switching off.
What we cannot promise
We have not migrated a Qualsys or Ideagen Quality Management tenant end to end.

Frequently asked questions
Not as a brand you can buy from. qualsys.co.uk returns a 301 redirect to ideagen.com, and across nine Ideagen pages read on 22 September 2026 the word "Qualsys" does not appear. The product is sold as Ideagen Quality Management.
Ideagen Quality Management. Their page describes it as connecting "document control, CAPA management, audits, training, supplier quality and inspection in one platform", with ISO 9001, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11, AS9100 and IATF 16949 built in.
They do not publish it. ideagen.com/pricing returns a 404 and every product page routes to a demo booking. Q-Hub publishes £85, £245 and £530 a month with implementation included.
For a regulated manufacturer needing 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 13485 or AS9100, yes, and we would say so. For a UK mid-market business wanting quality, health, safety and environment in one system at a published price, we think Q-Hub is the better fit.
Yes, but as a separate EHS product line with its own pages, not as part of the quality platform. Q-Hub covers all four QHSE letters in one system.
Yes — Ideagen is headquartered in Nottinghamshire. Q-Hub is in Caldicot, Wales. On this row there is nothing between us.
BSI, the UK national standards body, publishes guidance on integrated management systems covering ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 together, on the basis that shared processes reduce duplicated audit and documentation effort. Ideagen sells EHS and Quality as separate product lines; Q-Hub runs them as one.
