Easy to use and very efficient. The upload links are useful to ensure timely documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing! I have not encountered any difficulty with Castor yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I found entering data on castor extremely easy.
The automatic queires generated are easy to respond to and can edit orignal data with ease.
I like the % completed on each tab.
I liked the calendar option for selecting dates rather than inputting manually.
I liked that it does not generate all the data fields, only the fields that are necessary depending on the previous answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can't think of any areas for improvement. Really like using the system in comparison to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thanks very much for taking the time to review Castor. We're delighted that you've had a good experience with our platform and are willing to share that publicly.
Castor EDC is easy to use and learn quickly. We can contact customer support easily and their response time very quick. Also, the role level permission feature for users is awesome. The email alert and survey feature also helps users in the clinical trial data management.
Regarding the queries, it is easy to filter the closed, open, new queries. The EDC also displays the overall graph of study data which is very useful for study level tracking. And, it has separate page for repeating forms which is easy for integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The form level export is not possible in Castor EDC. Eventhough, we have options to export data for selected forms, the study export has all the data.
The SDV level page in export is not appropriate. It does not show the exact SDV status of each form/field. Also, it does not have audit trial export.
360 degree query report is not possible to export in Castor which is difficult for Data Manager to analyse study data.
Also, it does not have feature for DM marking for Data Manager and Safety marking for Medical Monitor.
Also, it does not have feature to raise queries to specific role.
Single person cannot have two study roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback on Castor EDC. We're delighted to hear about our platform's ease of use, quick support response times and awesome role-level permissions.
We acknowledge your concerns about our export functionalities and are excited to update you on our progress. We've been actively working on redesigning our exports (we don't have form level export now, let's stick to our current export) to enable domain-based exporting, and following our June update, SDV has been enhanced to be at field level. We're also in the process of planning an SDV export feature to further streamline your data management activities. In terms of audit-trail exports, we've made significant improvements making it more efficient and now available on-demand for our Professional Services and Customer Support teams.
Looking ahead, we are excited to share that in the upcoming year, we will be placing a stronger emphasis on patient-focused developments. Watch this space!
Your feedback is essential in guiding our efforts so we are grateful for that. Thank you for your ongoing support.

It is a very clear and usefull way to create a database, get notifications and fill it in by centers all over the world. I also worked with other platforms in which you have to work at least twice as much to get the same result. I would advice castor to everyone. Also, the support system is great when you have troubles (and the courses too!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Actually I cannot find anything I dislike of castor. The only thing they could potencially to better is make a good Q&A, so you do not have to ask everything but can look it up easely. Ofcourse in case of questions that come up a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
CASTOR has been my favourite trial database to use, it's very self explanatory and easy to click through the patient's journey. Each entry autosaves so you don't have to keep inputting passwords. Only once had an issue with the site crashing. It has been simple to speak with someone to rectify any issues too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it times out but doesn't tell you it's timed out until after you have inputted data. You don't get email notifications when there is a query on a piece of data, you just see it on the database when you login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clear and consise
I like how it shows the progress of your participant and what is outstanding
All participants can be found in one place
Easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It logs out after not too long and if I am looking at patient notes at the same time, I can lose my place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Castor is very well organized, it works quickly and when you only need specific data it is easy to extract this from the database. Furthermore, the design is very pleasant to look at.
I am still in my master's but still have worked with a few studies and all used just the standard data drive bases like Google or Microsoft. I liked how professional castor is and it really feels like a safe foolproof system to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is one small thing I dislike and this is the colours that are used for saving data, which is due to myself being colorblind. Making it hard to see the change from orange to green. One other thing I had to work out in the beginning was how to extract the data, but this was a rather quick learning thing. In general, I do not have any complaints regarding the use of Castor.

It is a very easy and intuitive system to use. No programming skills are required and help is always on hand if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I honestly can't say there was anything that I disliked - other than being logged out frequently when entering data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When we reviewed various EDC companies to partner with on our industry randomized controlled trial, Castor was an easy first choice. They provided exactly the type of services we needed, without any of the bells and whistles that were unnecessary and created bloated price points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is some limited functionality that has presented some challenges. There was a specific survey form for which Castor did not have a template format that would allow us to collect the data we need in the most user friendly format. This has actually resulted in some changes needing to be made mid-data collection. Also, it would be great if the partnership came with the same level of support once the study had launched that we had during implementation - the service and support we received when setting up the study was amazing! Only wish we could have kept that level through the rest of our partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
