RedCap Reviews
Pros
REDCap is a perfect software for retrospective data collection with many useful features (e.g. data quality control, reports etc.). It is really easy to set up the project.
What I liked most about this software was that it was extremely easy to use and ultimately did not require much initial training.
It helps you capture a lot of information on progress of work at all times and all data is assembled in one app bring ease in tracking information.
Wonderful data collection program for over the phone interviews.
Cons
I feel bored when conducting surveys on this app.
I don't like the way they output the longitudinal data. It's difficult to categorize.
Logic functionality could be difficult to do for questionnaires such as IPAQ and PROMIS-anger.
It is a little difficult to navigate at times.
"Research "
Overall: Overall is a good experience but everytime there is a new bug happening in the codes and logic
Pros: They provide videos teaching you how to use the platform, it is user-friendly, and it is able to manage a lot of data.
Cons: Sometimes there are errors in the logic codes that you just cant solve and the error will keep there for ever
"Secured the way we work "
Pros: You can track participant visits and see who has entered data if a query was to arise which saves so much time. The export function can specifically export certain data sets making it easy for data analysis. The fact that each form can be locked provides us with an extra layer of protection of our data.
Cons: It would be good to have an app for iPads or tablets for easy lab use.
"Decent Software"
Overall: It is okay, decent software that could be improved but charges a reasonable price
Pros: It's not as expensive as other sites and can be easy to use for non complex trials
Cons: Often ran into issues on more complex trials
"Saves time and money by fitting our groups needs for data capture. "
Pros: Being able to verify data and lock forms means we are able to avoid time consuming QC on paper based inventory forms.
Cons: The overall appearance of the platform could do with an upgrade. The design is dated and can seem cluttered.
"RedCap for clinical trials "
Overall: I Liked to use RedCap, it was basic enough for me to follow and fill-in but it captured all the relevant information required.
Pros: I found RedCap very straightforward to use, nice sequence of click boxes.
Cons: Logging in after a break of 5 mins, not sure if it was our companies IT set-up but had to re sign-in too often.
