What do you like best about Castor?

The customisability of this programme was the most useful element. The database matched exactly what was needed for my first project as PI and made data collection so easy! It's a really intuative system and was vital in collecting my evaluation data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castor?

What do you like best about Castor?

What I like most is that you can create the forms with Castor yourself without needing a programmer's help. The data export allows for immediate further processing with common statistical programs. The functions such as good clinical practice and data protection are necessary for the registration of the studies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castor?

Castor is very powerful and offers many functions that go beyond the basics. For some of them, program examples can be found in forums, but overall a more detailed manual would be desirable. Even after years of use, I still lack an overview of all the functions Castor offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Castor EDC for Clinical Trials"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Castor?

The ability to have screening, eConsent, case report forms, and a study database on a centralized platform. Castor can aslo automate email reminders to participants and automate a schedule for emailing study questionnnaries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castor?

Overall, my experience was positive with the Castor Implementation team. I do truly appreciate the time and consideration that was given to me in the process. I feel like every meeting/call that I had, I learned something. It was all helpful. Having said that, I do believe the learning curve is steep. In my experience, I did not use the Castor team to buildout the EDC, and I understand that using them would have made this process much smoother. Unfortunately it was not in the budget as that is an additional service. It was hard to scramble through the videos and apply them as a newbie and I know that this prolonged the EDC being complete. I do feel like there is something missing for the customers that do not pay Castor to do the EDC building. Maybe in the customer package there could be options to purchase tutoring sessions or pay by the hour tutoring for customers on smaller budgets. I understand that it may not be a common problem but I was just sharing my experience to provoke some thoughts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castor?

Takes a lot of time to transer a questionairre or interview into Castor. Would be better if would be a feature to automatically import a number of questions at once with a syntax.

Better tracking of the survey responses, sending a automatic reminder to the responder if answers are incomplete Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
