### "Rapid Turnaround Time and Phenomenal Customer Service"

June 25, 2021

5.0

Pros

It's not required that you hire a programmer to design and implement eCRFs with this system. The training and customer service team is so incredibly helpful. I was able to turn around an entire study's EDC setup within 3 weeks of getting contracts signed.

Cons

Each time I've identified a pain point or a feature that I would like or wanted to work better, it was updated in the next release. I don't currently have any unmet needs.

### "TrialKit - Leadership that is transforming the biotechnology industry"

February 5, 2022

5.0

Wonderful! I know that sounds short, but it really has been a system that I have grown to appreciate and enjoy working within. The tech support and staff at TrialKIt are also a primary reason for my choice to go with TrialKit. Working with TrialKit allows the versatility to have a solution for my clients where I can contour the system to meet their needs.

Pros

Answered in previous section with regards to system performance

Cons

The only improvement I would recommend is the add the capability to schedule jobs to automatically generate reports and send them to a sFTP.

### "No SLA, Accountability: Rolling out Validated Features that are not FDA Compliant"

July 21, 2025

1.0

Shockingly poor, oversold, and once you're using, you cannot switch out during the trial. Misled by former reviews that were suspiciously high for a very buggy, unreliable product with poor service to boot.

Pros

Really disappointing software and software support. Sometimes we wait more than a week for a response and when FDA trial participants are not able to save their responses we lose 12-14 in a week at a time and do not recoup those costs.

Cons

No accountability, very buggy software, not accountable for mobile-views of their surveying tools, audio fails during sessions, heavy push for additional mobile app development and delay after delay in fixes. Very costly, not knowing what features are validated for trials, allowing us to believe that certain features like mobile-view are validated--however, this was not true and more than 50% trial participant failures in this mode requiring us early on to purchase additional development for a mobile app separately because the mobile view was not actually validated. This was not communicated from the get-go and the trial delays and costs are unbelievable. There are trial costs and damages in the millions in working with Trial Kit and Fuel. No accountability and dangerous practices that should raise issues with any accreditations.

Hi Grace, We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've encountered and understand the impact this may have had on your study. From your review, it appears you may have been working through an external service provider rather than directly with Crucial Data Solutions. In these cases, we’re often limited in what we can directly support or guarantee—such as validated configurations or SLAs—but that doesn't lessen the seriousness of your concerns. We’d like to better understand what happened and explore how we might assist. If you're open to it, please contact us at info@crucialdatasolutions.com with the subject line “G2 Review Response” so we can connect you with a member of our leadership team. Thank you again for raising these points. We are committed to delivering transparency and reliability in all TrialKit implementations.

### "Medical Device Start-up Experience with TrialKit"

December 16, 2024

5.0

Wonderful! I would gladly recommend it to colleagues.

Pros

The team at Crucial Data Solutions had great customer service. They were promptly and consistently available to provide direct support during our build and throughout the study.

Cons

I used TrialKit before TrialKit AI became available. At the time, some of the reporting functionality was cumbersome, making it more difficult to capture key performance metrics for our trial. I look forward to trying the AI tools as we plan for our next study.

### "Crucial Clinical Study Database review"

June 18, 2020

4.0

Our business needed a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution that could support data capture for a complex, large-scale, global, medical device registry. Data collection would be significant in amount with varying types of information required. In addition, we anticipated that multiple database updates would be implemented in order to refine data collection and the system has demonstrated an ability to accommodate these needs. While the reporting and metric capabilities do provide some opportunities for future improvements within the software, we can still get to the information. Overall, our experience has been very positive and we would consider this platform for future studies without hesitation.

Pros

The process of working with the Crucial team was and continues to be seamless. It was easy to obtain/access the software. Our database developers used the software to create a database for a large, global clinical registry and the Crucial team has been very supportive of both the initial set-up as well as multiple updates to the database that have occurred along the way. We have been able to integrate the platform easily within our clinical processes and customer service has been exceptional.

Cons

Future development opportunities exist around reporting and metric-tracking. Specifically, improving capabilities for clinical trial metrics and auto-generated reports. Much of the current reporting requires that a user first exports the data followed by analysis and report generation through additional tools such as excel. While this is technically functional, it would be fantastic to have more common reports available in the software that would allow you to view key information within your data at the click of your mouse. For example, additional standard/customizable reports that contain aggregate data, summary information from your data, some data sorting capabilities, and tracking of metrics commonly used within a clinical trial stetting (e.g., monitoring metrics such as query aging, etc.) would make it even easier and faster to oversee any given clinical study.

Reason for choosing TrialKit

TrialKit was a cost-effective option that met our key needs and provided a means to effectively and efficiently conduct a study on this scale.

Hi Sarah, Many thanks for taking the time to leave this review review for TrialKit! It's wonderful to learn that you've had a positive experience with both the platform and our team. We appreciate your input for future development opportunities; we've been listening to similar feedback over the last several months and have since implemented some excellent tools to provide more direct access to various study metrics without users needing to glean out the information on their own. In the meantime, there is a query aging report which can be viewed and/or exported via the TrialKit mobile app. CDS is currently in the midst of finalizing a new TrialKit module which provides robust business intelligence and analytics capabilities for cross-study reporting, providing interactive visualizations and animated reporting. Please stay tuned for further announcements related to these capabilities in the coming weeks. - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

### "A must EDC platform for today's world"

October 27, 2019

5.0

My experience with Clinical Studio was amazing. I will/would always love to work on this platform.

Pros

Unfriendly: Unlike all other EDCs in the market, my experience with this tool stands out. I must say it is highly convenient for any user in any specific role. Easy to design and program eCRFs, instant view of the change and quick modifications within seconds. Any one can build a DB within a couple of weeks and without need of any programming knowledge. Budget: I must say that one can use the EDC which is economical. Integration: Can integrate with other safety database to pull the reports Customer Service: Amazing response within seconds Coding & Reporting: Standalone tools and reports are pulled in seconds in xml, .xls, .csv etc formats.

Cons

Bandwidth: A bit slow while opening the CRFs but again this depends upon the number of CRFs and complexity of the trial and this goes true with other EDCs as well. But again the customer service is amazing as they resolve the issues within seconds. I don't think I even faced the issue again as it was resolved and never came up.

### "A Prodigious EDC tool"

November 24, 2018

5.0

Clinical Studio has ticked all my bucket list of a fair EDC rather it would is an exceptional EDC tool.

Pros

Data Manager is the showstopper of Clinical Data and with Clinical Studio you rule the clinical data world. Clinical Studio is exceptionally user-friendly that allows you to design the CRFs in a cinch. The outstanding part of Clinical Studio is that the site doesn't need to refer the assessment schedule everytime for assessments as the same is replicated when the study is designed and pushed into production. Reporting tool- JReview and Clinical Coder for coding comes handy whereas Clinical Studio can be integrated with any PV tool which is flawless. Programming edit checks is a piece of cake for DM (without any hardcore knowledge in programming) as it takes hardly any time to program. DB updates don't hold up the data entry process, metadata and other backend output takes few seconds. Design monitoring reports, inventories....the complete business is in your fingertips. You can do a lot. An extraordinary part of Clinical Studio is the Support system. Truly speaking, customer satisfaction is 10/10. The query response is in less than 12 hours or even less and that too with a complete guide to your issue. Worked in multiple EDCs; Clinical Studio is phenomenal and I would highly recommend.

Cons

I don't think Clinical Studio has any section which one would like the least.

So far it has been amazing. The personal support and interaction of everyone I have worked with to date has been great. Their goal is to support clinical research with cost-effective, easy-to-use solutions, and that is exactly what they do.

Pros

Easy to configure. You don't need to be an EDC expert to build a well-designed user oriented Database!

Cons

I will let you know when I find it. They are always improving the product and offering.

### "Clinical studio is a fantastic EDC. Our clients love it and we do too!"

April 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's so easy to talk to an actual person. You don't have to search through articles or submit dozens of tickets. Our representative is so great. He is incredibly knowledgable, responsive, and patient. I love that Clinical Studio takes suggestions, I've even seen a few of mine go into production. They are so receptive and eager to please they are willing to update their software to make it easier for their customers. The actual EDC is so easy to use, our clients love it! It is clear, concise, and very easy to navigate.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is on the dashboard report you cannot filter by more than one site at a time.

### "Clinical Studio Review"

May 29, 2019

4.0

It has been good so far. The Clinical Studio team responds very quickly and is good at updating on the status of questions/projects.

Pros

Very user friendly and easy to train sites on how to use.

Cons

I think there could be additional reports and features that could be added to make the manual work less. For example, instead of having to go into each subject to determine if a visit is overdue, there should be a report that can be run to determine the number of overdue visits at a site and/or overall. Some sites have 100 subjects enrolled and it is a very manual process to determine overdue visits.

### "EDC for clinical trials"

May 25, 2020

5.0

We are still in development phase, so no experience with lots of different users.

Pros

Adaptable to needs, useful for different size and complexity of trials, hands-on support

Cons

Like any system, it takes time to get to know the program.

Reason for choosing TrialKit

TrialKit seemed to be accommodating our needs for a 'flexible' system, in terms of size of trials, complexity of trials, what activities you do in-house or outsource.

### "Full of Bad, Buggy Programming"

October 3, 2019

1.0

Dealing with Clinical Studio and, by extension, the support staff has been a lesson in abject frustration. It is one of the most bug-filled, poorly written programs I have ever had to deal with. At this point though, I have poured hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into setting up our data management within Clinical Studio, so it's essentially too late to switch to a competing EDC. No doubt many users are in a similar position to my own, allowing Clinical Studio to offer such a sub-par product with little to no repercussions.

Pros

At first I believed Clinical Studio was rather flexible and had lots of functionality. Unfortunately, the more I've used it, the more I've discovered that it is full of undocumented limitations (such as certain Conditional Logic types not working with certain Field types, for no clear reason) as well as hollow functionality (such as a button to copy and paste Conditional Logic from one Field to another Field in the TrialKit, though the button doesn't actually work).

Cons

The fact that most of the bugs and problems that I've run into with Clinical Studio are not new, yet are still not fixed, is infuriating. Often, when I contact support they tell me that they've seen the issue I'm describing in the past, and suggest a work-around for it. This "solution" only addresses the symptom, not the underlying problem (bugs in the developers' programming), and does nothing to prevent the issue from happening to myself or someone else in the future.

Craig, Thank you for the feedback in this review. As President of Crucial Data Solutions I take all feedback seriously and view it as a learning opportunity for our company. I also appreciate you taking time to speak with me on the phone last week upon first learning about your frustrations. I've shared our conversation with our team and I know everyone is committed to providing you with more insight, support and guidance that I expect will have a positive effect on your experience with CDS. With over 10,000 global users and overwhelming positive feedback, your situation is an outlier for us. Software inherently has bugs and challenges; how we address them is what we've been lauded for by the majority of our customer base. Unfortunately, we haven't done an adequate job in your case, so I plan to be personally involved to make sure we can set you up for success. I look forward to supporting you moving forward and to a successful launch of your upcoming study. Jeff Rogers

### "This EDC is awesome!"

May 20, 2020

4.0

The company is benefiting greatly from the features we were able to include or exclude based on our specific study. Our clients also seem pleased with the system, as the majority of our previous studies were managed using paper forms. The switch from paper CRFs to utilizing this EDC has been wonderful! Lastly, while it might only be notable for myself, I'd like to mention that I've grown personally through the set-up/customization/study build process in terms of gaining helpful, basic programming knowledge.

Pros

The product is very user-friendly and intuitive with simple icon legends and a detailed, informative help desk. It has the ability to be flexible with many aspects of different types of studies, and has a wide range of reporting features as well as audit reports. The automatic notifications, editable home page, and simple upload/export features are great. After the customization, during the initial study build, it was implemented and integrated seamlessly into our workflow.

Cons

There are a few small suggestions, such as developing the task of adding users to sites into a multi-select type option, instead of one by one. Read-only access to the payment manager would also be helpful. Batched email notifications regarding queries or review items, instead of an email per query, would be a nice feature too.

Reason for choosing TrialKit

We chose TrialKit over other options because of the great customer service, the unbeatable costs, and the abundance of customization that other "out of the box" companies could not accommodate.

### "GREAT Tool for Web Based, Mobile, and Wearable Clinical Trial Data! "

November 15, 2017

5.0

We've been able to tap into the world of mobile and wearable technology in clinical research!

Pros

Clinical Studio and TrialKit have helped FUEL Studios, Inc. provide even more great tools for our clients. The feature we like most about this platform is the native ability to run on Smartphones, Tablets, and Wearables as an App. It creates a fast and intuitive experience for sponsors, clinicians, and patients. The user interface is modern, and fun for users to use from any location. The Clinical Studio support team has been great to work with too! They have always supported our team in numerous ways, and eagerly receive our suggestions for software improvements. Good people. We're thrilled to have this platform as one of the solutions we can offer to our clients!

Cons

Though this platform has the ability to create reports and easily pull data, we're hoping to see the complexity of these features grow. For example, creating graphical reports or reports with calculations. We're also hoping we could easily query all study and system data to find specific situations. In the times when we need more, it is very easy to export data to work with outside reporting tools. Or, ask the support team for further information!

### "Review of TrialKit "

March 13, 2020

5.0

Overall, TrialKit is a great product. With it's ease of use, time from study start to go live is a smaller window of time than other software I have worked with. Customer Support is quick to respond with professional, personal care taken to address any issues I encounter throughout the life of my studies.

Pros

As a study builder, I have found TrialKit easy to use from study start up through archival. Form building, study visit schedule set-up and conditional action programming are fairly quick and user friendly. Also, if needed, online help information is concise and thorough. The process to go live, migrate to an updated version and lock/archive are simple to perform and navigate.

Cons

One feature that could use improvement is Report Builder. Currently, it is not robust enough to generate custom reports of data in the system. It is mostly a data dump and it would be nice to have some added features where the user could add logic to the reports to give the customer a better and more robust output of their data.

### "Clinical Studio Turns a Complex Oncology Study into a Manageable and Customizable SAAS Solution"

January 3, 2017

5.0

Let me start off by saying Clinical Studio's customer service is the best. Cody and Paul in particular have been invaluable. They provided all the necessary training to build our studies, made potentially challenging data migration a breeze, and often respond within minutes to our email and text questions. They incorporate new features as we need them and seem to have great synergy between their development and support teams. They treat us like a partner versus a customer and we love that. ONCOtherapeutics (CRO) specializes in oncology-related studies that require several hundred case report forms clinical research sites must complete for every subject throughout the course of each study. Being able to create and reuse templates and then adjust them as needed has saved us from time-wasting manual duplication. Their study builder, which works on the desktop browser or as an iPhone or iPad app, is a simple drag-and-drop user interface and also allows for flexible conditional actions (e.g. hide or show fields and validate or compute data entries). Both sites and subjects can use their iOS apps to complete study forms. Their value proposition is constantly improving and we are grateful for their partnership.

Pros

Drag-and-drop interface and reusability of forms.

Cons

Too many confirmation windows to click on but pointed this out to them already so it may not be an issue by the time you read this. ;)

May 29, 2019

5.0

We are using clinical studio for 3 clinical studies for medical device company. So far the experience has been good. It is a good deal for the price we pay.

Pros

\- Mobile app - Save as draft function for CRFs - Payment manager capabilities - Site level document - Single sign on for all the studies in clinstudio (and different roles for admin) - Freedom for the look of eCRF (better control for positioning of variables and responses) - very prompt customer service

Cons

\- On boarding training/experience (especially for admins) could have been better - Payment manager to include PO/check issued details - Multiple table on single eCRF always extracts as separate tabs/datasets. If one CRF has only one extracted dataset , that would be helpful.

I have enjoyed working with Clinical Studio on two projects. When changes need to be made then the team works diligently to correct the issue. Reviews from the sites are that they enjoy working from platform and that it is more user friendly other EDC platforms that they have used.

Pros

The software is easy to use and the site's enjoy working with the platform.

Cons

Building reports hasn't been the easiest but it is doable.

They are eager to improve the customer's experience and are implementing improvements based on our feedback. Thanks, Clinical Studio!

Pros

Ease of use Includes a CRF payment manager Allows for randomization

Cons

Lack payment report (list format only which can be used to build your report) Lacks robust build-your-own query capability Subject follow-up tool could be more robust by including the visit windows (windows available only via the subject manager)

### "Great Software for your Clinical Trial ToolKit"

May 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

This software was really thought out when it was built. It robust enough to tackle any type of clinical and data capture workflow that a user will need, but simple enough to use that it does not overwhelm the end user.

Cons

The user interface when building forms is a little outdated and could use improvements, but overall the experience would have not deterred us from choosing this product

### "Infinitely customizable eCRF requiring no coding knowledge "

November 4, 2020

5.0

I'm extremely satisfied and don't understand why anyone would use any of the extremely expensive alternatives.

Pros

The infinite possibilities. It can be adapted to any kind of data collection. The other key element was the affordable price. Given our budget, we could either use a paper CRF or Trialkit. No other eCRF provider was affordable at all. Trialkit made this study possible ! There are all the features that a study would need, and more than just an EDC. It's an amazing tool.

Cons

It took me some time to learn some parts of the building process, but I received a lot of support and would be able to build studies alone on this platform now.

Reason for choosing TrialKit

It was the only affordable solution that required no coding knowledge and could perform randomization.
