OpenClinica Reviews & Product Details

I have had a great experience using OpenClinica EDC during the last 3 years with several studies (Observational studies, Registries and Clinical Trials). It´s a web based solution to build and manage multi-sites clinical studies.

It´s a powerful platform, great user support, Data Entry and DM capabilities makes everything simple.

Super User Training is very helpful for data managers when building CRFs.

OpenClinica offers Cloud Services. No need IT skills for installation and setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementing certain complex validation checks can get a bit technical. Creating custom visual reports can be involved unless you have purchased the OpenClinica Insight product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This system can be personalized to your clinic to include whatever is relevant for you. As a genetics clinic, the field is constantly changing and OpenClinica has the capabilities to keep up with all the changes we need. It is also helpful that it can work with another system we use, Progeny, to match up people for data inquiries. I am impressed that OpenClinica is available for all types of research and not just genetic since it works so well for us, I previously assumed they specialized in this area.

I wish the Subject Manager, which we use to look up people's OpenClinica's ID numbers, could be better integrated. It works, but it has a totally different look to OpenClinica. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gets the job done. As a data manager and monitor I find OpenClinica to contain all of the functionality that I need to administer studies, users, and CRFs (including versioning). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The navigation, location of features, and overall user experience seems lacking. OpenClinica does offer good support but initial feel when navigating the interface does not seem intuitive. Also, the built-in checking system (data edits, queries) has the potential to be clunky and interfere work flow in smaller-scale studies. Finally, certain features seem to require OpenClinica support (e.g., randomization), and I'd like to be able to make site-level changes to studies but it seems unable to do so.

I like that I am easily able to return to a matrix view of all of my participants enrolled in the study, and easily able to see what CRFs I need to enter for each patient in order to have a complete dataset. I like that I am able to enter CRFs in any order, so that I can continue to capture data for participants that is in a later CRF while waiting for data in an earlier CRF to be communicated to me by doctors and other hospital staff.

What I do not like is that as in the coordinator view, I am unable to make changes to a CRF once I mark it 'complete," and need to have an administrator open the CRF back up for me to amend anything. I also do not like the amount of times I need to click in order to enter a CRF. My final complaint is that there are many things on the screen that I do not need to see or have access to that clutter my view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
