" January 28, 2022 5.0 Pros \- Castor EDC is very easy to use; EVERYONE can learn it. There are very useful videos available to learn how to work with Castor EDC. - Castor EDC is very easy to use in case multiple users need to add information to e.g. the same patient (i.e. record), you are able to limit the access/actions of each individual user - You can access your data everywhere, it is widely availble and safely stored - You can add validation criteria and data verification when you enter data to prevent incorrect data entry to limit missing/incorrect values - It is very easy to incorporate surveys and send them to patients/users - If you prepare your study well in Castor and use the features that are availlable, your data output can easily be uploaded to SPSS, which saves you a lot of work! Cons Around two years ago it was not possible to send a survey to a group of people at the same time by using one link. Each person needed to receive an individual link from his/her own record ID. I would like to be able to use only one link that can be entered multiple times by multiple people. PM. When I asked castor about this possibility at that time, I immediately received a reply. Within one hour they explained why it was not possible and suggested other possibilities to solve the question: the support is very good and always available! Review Source SG Savannah G. Certified veterinary assistant Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Castor Review " May 14, 2024 5.0 Pros The ease of maneuvering between pets on the account Cons two separate pages for adding pets and going through the file Review Source HM Helen M. Clinical Research Director Medical Devices Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Light touch system" February 18, 2021 4.0 Easy set up for a simple study, including simple sales experience Our biggest headache has been with slowness of the system, though some of that is because hospital IT departments have a "go slow" on any non-critical website. We've solved the issue by providing alternative routes to connect to the internet. However, it is still occasionally reported as being slow to update a page when SDV / sign off being captured. Pros Not overly complicated design and user interface for non-drug trials Easy set up, especially of internal data checks Nested forms (records) Visual cleanliness Globally based servers Cons Users report it being "clunky" and slow to update pages. This is more noticeable towards the end of the day (don't know if that is numbers of people using the system, or a reflection of having been working on it for several hours) It is not possible to filter on data within reports (as you can with records), nor run queries within the system (to find out how many patients have been diagnosed with a specific condition, captured in a report, I have to extract data for all patients, and clean it up in excel before I can run a simple count/filter function. The stats page doesn't allow scrolling, which means I often loose half the information User experience of using the system across different smart phones is variable Alternatives considered [Teamscope](https://www.capterra.com/p/179110/Teamscope/)[Greenlight Guru Clinical](https://www.capterra.com/p/152998/SMART-TRIAL/)[OpenClinica](https://www.capterra.com/p/78122/OpenClinica/) Reason for choosing Castor EDC pricing not based on numbers of patients ability to capture images from within the system Review Source Response from Castor February 22, 2021 Hi Helen, Many thanks for your detailed review! Regarding the slowness issue - this is of course not expected behavior - while we have sometimes seen issues with hospital systems using outdated browsers, firewalls or slow networks, it would be good if we can identify the route cause and find a solution. So please reach out to our support team to further investigate this together! In addition, we will be working on improved reporting in the coming period, so stay tuned!

The company provides video training with all the ins and outs, even though you can work with it without the training. In the past, I had issues with obtaining a calculation for a specific formula and the customer support was so helpful, truly. Responses were almost immediate and my issue was resolved. In addition, the use of records and reports are so helpful when building the CRFs. This product includes EVERYTHING you can find in all of the competing products, including the regulatory requirements, but is so much less expensive that it is not even worth checking out the other companies. This is my go to platform for all of my clients' clinical trials. Cons Watching the videos... I just want to hop in. I am writing this because I have to, honestly, there is nothing I don't like about this software. Reason for choosing Castor EDC Value and cost - it was as good or better than the competition at a fraction of the cost Review Source Response from Castor October 15, 2019 Hi Sharon, Thank you so much for this super positive review and great to have you as a loyal customer! Our goal is to offer a product that covers all features necessary for any medical device or pharma study at a competitive price - so it's good to hear that it has indeed met your company's needs.
