REDCap Reviews & Product Details

REDCap is user-friendly, and yet allows for highly complex projects. It is easy to customize, and yet powerful in terms of its many uses.

REDCap also has features to assign specific roles to people, set up a calendar, and conduct spot checks for quality assurance purposes.

It is easy to download the data in a variety of formats which makes it easy to analyze in a variety of statistical environments (SAS, R, Python, SPSS, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New users should be careful to think about how data will download when designing the front-end of questionnaires and data entry forms. For example, an intuitive front end may require re-coded when it comes time for statistical analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like REDCap because it is an easy to use application for tracking my research projects. Research can involve tracking many details, so REDCap makes it easy to keep track of patient information, contacts, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of data fields in REDCap that can look a little overwhelming, however it is customizable for each project which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the REDCap user interface is highly customizable based on the page creators needs. The data management team also frequently updates the system which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only usage of REDCap has been using pages created by other sites, such as a trial Data Coordinating Center. It may very well be the particular way that that site chose to create their page, but it feels very clunky and cumbersome to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great interface and easy to use. It is a great standard to have for research studies. Most of the primary investigators really enjoy using the this database for their study. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

unable to modify without approval in production mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to organize multiple projects and the record status dashboards shows all the entered data at a glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Back button logs you out of the whole system and you have to log in from scratch which is cumbersome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that REDCap is user friendly and easy to navigate. It is easy to send out emails through the website and keep track of all the participants we have in our project. It is also easy to collaborate with other researchers on this website and add/restrict their permissions on there. It helps to be able to easily collaborate with others. In contrast to Qualtrics, I like that the surveys can be pulled into or out of production when making edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes REDCap can be overly complicated, I have a hard time finding certain functions on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using REDCap to administer surveys and consent forms to research participants, and the ease with which we can track and utilize their responses. But most of all I love using REDCap for its Reports functions - at my fingertips are easy tools to help me collect, categorize, and analyze information for our research study in a variety of ways. The ability to easily use our data in preliminary analysis, without having to export it to outside programs or do lengthy calculations by hand, have been a life-saver.

I wish I could link some of the data between different Projects, or combine data from multiple projects into our master database Project for easy over-arching analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great tool to set up surveys and collect data for research projects. The forms are easy to set up and links can be sent to participants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited data visualization from the data collected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RedCap is incredibly flexible and you can build so many types of data capturing systems from surveys to complex tracking databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RedCap is in no means a relationship database. It is difficult to link certain data points to others within RedCap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

REDCap allows you to easily create and manage surveys for a task of any size! Even for an extremely large project, REDCap makes it easy to queue groups of surveys together and make links accessible at different time points (for longitudinal research studies, for example). Even among a huge dataset, survey mode and the survey queue creates a clean appearance for the outside user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Exporting data is a great feature, but the output is not great. In the capacity that I use REDCap, there is no way to filter and choose which variables from a particular survey that you want to export. The result is a very large, confusing dataset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
