Medidata Rave is a software that I used as a Clinical Research Associate, entering data. I worked on ten different Cancer related studies and entering a patient's demographics and keeping track of their progress is significant. Medidata Rave has by far been one of the easiest softwares to enter patient data on. It is convenient to navigate through different pages and different patient MRN numbers as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Medidata Rave? Overall, my experience has been well with Medidata. However, I thought there were a little too many demographic tabs on there that could have been minimized (optional to fill in). Aside from that, alot of the studies do not use Medidata. I have worked with other softwares that are extremely slow and Medidata is more easy to learn from. Some softwares can be challenging; however, this one is more straight-forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Medidata Rave: This is definitely one of the easier and more efficient/faster softwares to use! Sponsors should use Medidata more than other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Medidata Rave solving and how is that benefiting you? I was mostly working on queries that were generated automatically and from the sponsors on Medidata Rave. I realized that while working on many queries, it was beneficial that Medidata Rave was fast and work was done rather quickly and efficiently because of this. I am also in charge of entering patient demographic data and their progress from each cycle. I enter the medications/IVs that were conducted and/or their questionnaires.

This electronic data capture has a very simple layout, making it easy to navigate between studies, sites, subjects, and individual forms. Data entry is also simple, as is responding to queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Medidata Rave? I have only one improvement, which would be to add the option to save forms as incomplete. A lot of forms such as concomitant medications and adverse events are continually updated throughout a subject's enrollment. Because the forms in Medidata can only be saved as complete, when you go back to update a form you must add a reason why the data was changed after being saved. This is extremely tedious and is a big drawback for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Medidata Rave solving and how is that benefiting you? Medidata makes sharing data with sponsors quick and easy. Queries are also simple to navigate and respond to, so the overall communication between our site and the study sponsor is smooth. Medidata is not convoluted like some other EDCs can be, which makes data entry simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful with clinical trials and enrollment" 4/5 What do you like best about Medidata Rave? The training materials for Medidata are really great, there’s at least 3 tutorials and a certificate of training. It’s pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. I’ve had several sponsors request the use of Medidata RAVE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Medidata Rave? Once you mess up in data entry, it's a pain to fix - the whole page re-configures and you lose track of where you were entering data, it's very confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Medidata Rave: Your first patient is the hardest. Be sure to have the user manual with you when setting up your first patient, or re-take the available training to get back up-to-speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Medidata Rave solving and how is that benefiting you? It’s easy to randomize and keep track of patients enrolled in a clinical trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
