The most valuable aspect of REDCap is its user-friendly interface for coordinating data, managing queries, and conducting research. Its intuitive features allow all team members to quickly learn how to use the platform with minimal support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reports section in REDCap could benefit from some minor improvements, overall, it is quite effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is user friendly, easy to design and build a study database even for a first-time user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not provide a good data approving function that a multi-centre clinical study requires. REDCap has 'data resolution workflow' and 'form locking' to help with verifying data, but for a multi-centre study, which requires several layers of data approval including data manager review, source data verification and PI review. REDCap does not satisfy these needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use REDCap at my workplace as a secure database. We are a psychology lab, and we do research with human subjects, which has strict regulations in terms of how we store confidential information, including contact and personal data of our participants. We provide a survey link from our website for people to sign up. Once people are in the database, it is easy to filter through parameters of interest to export lists of names to contact for a particular study. Different users can have different roles and levels of access which is also helpful, so I can have members of the team working on specific tasks without worrying about them changing settings that I don't want to be touched.

The layout is not very intuitive. It can take some time to play around with the website to figure out how to use it, mainly when exporting sub-lists; however, the learning curve isn't that steep. A couple of hours of exploring should make you pretty proficient in using all the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Building the RedCap database is straightforward and does not require previous knowledge of data management. Also, it allows many users to enter the data in the database at the same time. There are different levels of access depending on the role in the clinical study or trial. Mostly, you can create different reports and perform a statistical analysis of the data. RedCap includes the newest statistical software such as SAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you have a very robust data set, it takes time to download/export data into the report. In addition, there are a few data sets you can download by one report. For a big database, you need to repeat the downloading steps for each set of data. Sometimes it can be very time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Usability, ability to have external sites enter information directly into the system so we can access it, ability to put restrictions on fields so they are entered correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be hard to set up some of the more sophisticated checks and cleaning features, and does not create paper forms from the database that are compact and easily usable- often have to re-create our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
