Systems Expert Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome CTMS solution" March 15, 2021 5.0 Overall, a very efficient CTMS software to use, ensures data privacy and has minimum breakdowns. It is a bit expensive and therefore I think it should be used by a mid-big pharma business. Pros A very reliable CTMS system, the training offered by medidata before you get full access to the system covers almost everything you need to know whether you are the Principal Investigator or the CRA. It can also be incorporated into an independent portal where you can bypass constant credential requirement by storing the original credentials. Cons I think the only issue that annoys me when it comes to Medidata is the use of different login credentials as opposed to company credentials. For other CTMS systems, I can log into the company network and not require different credentials for signing in. It saves time, medidata takes a little bit of my time every other day as I keep logging in over and over again. A bit costly for small companies as the starting price is about 1000$/month with no free version or trial Review Source CB Christine B.

The interface is not fun or intuitive to navigate and completed pages do not flow into the next page once saved, making data entry more time consuming. Pros Good training videos; I like that some ediaries flow directly into Medidata Cons It's interface looks archaic and varies in appearance from study to study. I don't like that when you finish a data entry page of the eCRF, after I save, it doesn't automatically flow to the next page where data is needed, especially in the same visit.

" June 25, 2024 3.0 Pros It's cleaner looking than othe EDCs and in general works well. Cons It's crazy that in 2024 we can't add info in bulk! They show the option of adding multiple lines to AEs but if you use it a fatal error shows up. Their solution was to "please add line by line" instead of working on this error. Review Source ET Elijah T. Clinical Research Coordinator Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Useful Source Capture Resource" December 12, 2024 5.0 Pros Extremely user friendly. Makes inputting source data simple. Cons It is easy for some information to get lost if it is not saved appropriately or if there is another user working in the same page. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director, Software Development Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simplify your clinical trial workflows with Medidata CTMS " June 14, 2023 5.0 Pros \-Well integrated with EDC, eTMF, and other tools and technology to provide real time data for informed decision making.-Automated workflows and real time dashboards.-Medidata CTMS can be scaled from early phase to late phase trials without much hassles. Cons As compared to competition, the pricing of Medidata CTMS is relatively on the higher side.

Pros This is very good in extracting data for over a long period of time.This includes 2 or more projects includes in the same window at a time. Cons This is not much handy when we compared to other software like Elluminate,etc... Review Source LP Lora P. Associate Clinical Research Coordinator Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "iMedidata Rave Review" December 4, 2023 4.0 Overall, it is an industry standard software that has multiple great capabilities, and is a sufficient way to enter patient information. Pros I like that Medidata is similar for different trials, and makes it much more user friendly when having to navigate between different trials from different sponsors. Fairly straight forward when it comes to data entry and management. Cons I don't like that some of the user interface is pretty out of date. Some of the query notifications can also be frustrating, but I believe it is more in data management, not the software itself.

However, there are always some sections that get set up differently by every sponsor and you need a bit of an FAQ to understand how they want it to be completed. Pros This is a great CTMS with a ton of features that link well together. This is very specifically built for clinical research and it has a lot of features that would only apply here. Cons It can be a little intimidating to get started because there are so many features and it has a bit of a language of its own. For a smaller sponsor or a small study, this might be more complicated than it's worth. Review Source PSJ Professor Sarah J.

Pros It's fast, efficient, catches everything my students can throw at it, and it can still give them the responses or results they need on tracking the information they inputted into this platform. Has it's own file management section of the platform we use to store our student's information until the next weeks in-class logging patients, all necessary information on each patient, Insurance information, work information, family history, and on and on and on. Cons It's not the primary part of the software the students see or use so they really don't know that Medidata is what keeps their medical office work secure and available. Reason for choosing Medidata CTMS It was enterwined with another software we use for Medical Billing and Coding students. I first realized it's value a few years ago so I use that part of the other software to manage data files of mine, the classes, and store all by each semester's usage. Review Source KN Kowsalya N. Data Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Medidata" July 31, 2023 4.0 Pros It eases the CRF designing with it's architect. Also, it makes sure that the used get proper training before the full access of the system, which covers almost everything which they need to know based on the person's role in the study. Cons Sometimes i faced system performance issues. A little high in price range, compared with other EDC.

Clinical Data Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unfinished higschool science project" February 5, 2018 2.0 Pros Architect builder allows for easy database specification and build. No other pros exist no matter how much I think about it. Cons No robust reporting tool . GUI looks like broken software project made by higschooler. Ease of use for site coordinators pales in comparison to other established systems. Every feature saps the limited resources and makes Rave come to a crawl. Terrible system for end user at the site leads to too many errors and too much money spend correcting them. Nearly absent helpdesk support. Review Source DS Deborah S. Clinical Research Manager Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Medidata" December 4, 2018 5.0 This system has made data entry smooth compared to other systems. The home page lists clearly the status of each subject. Pros Easy to view icons. Corrections that are needed are clear. Data entry seems to go quickly. Cons I have not had any issues so far. Most have only been with the sponsor’s locked pages. Review Source RS Rebekah S. Clinical research coordinator Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Medidata Review" October 24, 2018 4.0 After using other systems, I've realized medidata does offer the best training for new users. Pros I like that Medidata has several services and products that it offers. It has a secure portal that allows me to confidentially put in results for clinical trials. Medidata has offered multiple online training courses that are very beneficial. As far as EDC systems, it is currently my favorite one to use. Cons I feel as though Medidata could be more user friendly. Some things on imedidata/RAVE can be very time consuming. Getting help from the help center usually isn't immediate. Even with these complaints, I still recommend the software. Review Source JW Jen W. Director of Operations Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best EDC's" December 6, 2016 5.0 It is easier to use than many other EDC's. Easy to learn, easy to navigate. Doesn't take long to learn the bascis Pros New users can be trained quickly because the software is pretty easy to use Cons Queries that automatically pop up can be frustrating to the user. They often are wrong. Review Source AH Amy H. Physician Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Medidata review" October 15, 2018 4.0 I have been using Medidata for 1 year with no issues. User-friendly interface and good customer service. Pros I use Medidata EDC for two of the clinical trials I am involved in. It is not difficult to learn and use, and the training is fairly quick. The interface is user-friendly and customer service is excellent. Cons Requires training, like all EDC software. Review Source JW Jon W. CEO Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very cumbersome, but includes many data points that are valuable." November 20, 2018 4.0 Pros Love the elements it requires our staff to complete for each entry. Very friendly to the administration Cons Due to the length of data required for staff to enter, it becomes very burdensome and often gets one of two things, our staff dont enter it or they will enter "0000" in sections to complete it. Review Source DK Deepak K. Associate Director Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Medidata Rave is the one of the best EDC software" October 12, 2016 5.0 worked on Rave to design and manage clinical studies and found this the best EDC software so far . Easy to use and reliability is very high. Pros Easy to use for site users and easy to manage clinical trials Cons programming on custom checks is complex.
