Als Datenbankprogrammierer und Datenmanager gab es in all den Studien, die ich in MARVIN programmiert oder betreut habe, nicht viel, was wir nicht umsetzen konnten. Meiner Meinung nach ist es das am besten durchdachte EDC System auf dem Markt, das es mit all seiner Komplexität möglich macht fast jeden Kundenwunsch zu erfüllen, und die tägliche Arbeit der Projektmanager, Monitore, CRAs und Datenmanager wirklich leichter zu machen.

Pros

MARVINs Flexibilität bei der eCRF-Gestaltung: frei programmierbare Dynamiken, fein granuliertes Role-Permissions System bis auf Item-Ebene, Integration externer Systeme durch integrierte Actions und vor allem durch die klare Datenbankstruktur, die Automatisierung und Reporting so einfach macht, wie kein anderes EDC System, das ich kenne.

Cons

Das, was MARVINs Flexibilität ermöglicht, ist seine Komplexität, die abschreckend wirken kann. MARVIN so zu programmieren, dass seine Fähigkeiten voll ausgeschöpft werden, hat eine steile Lernkurve und braucht Erfahrung. Doch die neuesten Innovationen versprechen, dies alles zu vereinfachen, und der Komplexität ein wenig von ihrem Schrecken zu nehmen.

Pros

The feedback received from end user regarding MARVIN is that it's an user friendly system. We think that MARVIN is a very flexible (it allows us to manage very complex amendment and study design). It's also very easy to integrate with external parties (using real web services and the REST technology).

Cons

An improvement of the reporter tool is needed.
