Full of Bad, Buggy Programming

Reviewed 3 years ago

Dealing with Clinical Studio and, by extension, the support staff has been a lesson in abject frustration. It is one of the most bug-filled, poorly written programs I have ever had to deal with. At this point though, I have poured hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into setting up our data management within Clinical Studio, so it's essentially too late to switch to a competing EDC. No doubt many users are in a similar position to my own, allowing Clinical Studio to offer such a sub-par product with little to no repercussions.

Pros

At first I believed Clinical Studio was rather flexible and had lots of functionality. Unfortunately, the more I've used it, the more I've discovered that it is full of undocumented limitations (such as certain Conditional Logic types not working with certain Field types, for no clear reason) as well as hollow functionality (such as a button to copy and paste Conditional Logic from one Field to another Field in the TrialKit, though the button doesn't actually work).

Cons

The fact that most of the bugs and problems that I've run into with Clinical Studio are not new, yet are still not fixed, is infuriating. Often, when I contact support they tell me that they've seen the issue I'm describing in the past, and suggest a work-around for it. This "solution" only addresses the symptom, not the underlying problem (bugs in the developers' programming), and does nothing to prevent the issue from happening to myself or someone else in the future.

Vendor response

Craig, Thank you for the feedback in this review. As President of Crucial Data Solutions I take all feedback seriously and view it as a learning opportunity for our company. I also appreciate you taking time to speak with me on the phone last week upon first learning about your frustrations. I've shared our conversation with our team and I know everyone is committed to providing you with more insight,...

GREAT Tool for Web Based, Mobile, and Wearable Clinical Trial Data!

Reviewed 5 years ago

We've been able to tap into the world of mobile and wearable technology in clinical research!

Pros

Clinical Studio and TrialKit have helped FUEL Studios, Inc. provide even more great tools for our clients. The feature we like most about this platform is the native ability to run on Smartphones, Tablets, and Wearables as an App. It creates a fast and intuitive experience for sponsors, clinicians, and patients. The user interface is modern, and fun for users to use from any location. The Clinical Studio support team has been great to work with too! They have always supported our team in numerous ways, and eagerly receive our suggestions for software improvements. Good people. We're thrilled to have this platform as one of the solutions we can offer to our clients!

Cons

Though this platform has the ability to create reports and easily pull data, we're hoping to see the complexity of these features grow. For example, creating graphical reports or reports with calculations. We're also hoping we could easily query all study and system data to find specific situations. In the times when we need more, it is very easy to export data to work with outside reporting tools. Or, ask the support team for further information!

Vendor response

Hi Jerry, thank you for such a wonderful review! It's exciting for us to see our mobile and wearable technology be put to use in studies as it continues to become a growing tool in the clinical research industry. We're grateful for your feedback. Because of customers like you, we're able to add valuable enhancements to Clinical Studio and TrialKit, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for new reporting features very soon! - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

A must EDC platform for today's world

Reviewed 3 years ago

My experience with Clinical Studio was amazing. I will/would always love to work on this platform.

Pros

Unfriendly: Unlike all other EDCs in the market, my experience with this tool stands out. I must say it is highly convenient for any user in any specific role. Easy to design and program eCRFs, instant view of the change and quick modifications within seconds. Any one can build a DB within a couple of weeks and without need of any programming knowledge. Budget: I must say that one can use the EDC which is economical. Integration: Can integrate with other safety database to pull the reports Customer Service: Amazing response within seconds Coding & Reporting: Standalone tools and reports are pulled in seconds in xml, .xls, .csv etc formats.

Cons

Bandwidth: A bit slow while opening the CRFs but again this depends upon the number of CRFs and complexity of the trial and this goes true with other EDCs as well. But again the customer service is amazing as they resolve the issues within seconds. I don't think I even faced the issue again as it was resolved and never came up.

Vendor response

Hi Ravish, Many thanks for leaving this great review for Clinical Studio! Our team is thrilled that your experience using the system has been a positive one. Designing an easy-to-use solution that helps to shorten study start-up time has always been very important to us. We appreciate the feedback on bandwidth; we're continuously working to enhance system speed to provide users like you with the most seamless experience. - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

A Prodigious EDC tool

Reviewed 4 years ago

Clinical Studio has ticked all my bucket list of a fair EDC rather it would is an exceptional EDC tool.

Pros

Data Manager is the showstopper of Clinical Data and with Clinical Studio you rule the clinical data world. Clinical Studio is exceptionally user-friendly that allows you to design the CRFs in a cinch. The outstanding part of Clinical Studio is that the site doesn't need to refer the assessment schedule everytime for assessments as the same is replicated when the study is designed and pushed into production....

Cons

I don't think Clinical Studio has any section which one would like the least.

Vendor response

Hello Valued User, we are very appreciative of your stellar review! It's fantastic to learn that Clinical Studio has checked every item on your list of EDC wants & needs. We're honored to provide you with the user-friendly tools you need for your clinical trials and hope to support more of your studies down the road. - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

Clinical studio is a fantastic EDC. Our clients love it and we do too!

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

It's so easy to talk to an actual person. You don't have to search through articles or submit dozens of tickets. Our representative is so great. He is incredibly knowledgable, responsive, and patient. I love that Clinical Studio takes suggestions, I've even seen a few of mine go into production. They are so receptive and eager to please they are willing to update their software to make it easier for their customers. The actual EDC is so easy to use, our clients love it! It is clear, concise, and very easy to navigate.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is on the dashboard report you cannot filter by more than one site at a time.

Vendor response

Hi Jillian, we are very appreciative of your review! It's always fantastic to learn that our customers, as well as their clients, love Clinical Studio and find it easy to use. Suggestions from users such as yourself are what propel the system enhancements to be increasingly more user-friendly. Our development team has been made aware of your input on filtering sites in the Dashboard Report; this will certainly be addressed in future updates. - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

Clinical Studio review for Medical device company

Reviewed 4 years ago

We are using clinical studio for 3 clinical studies for medical device company. So far the experience has been good. It is a good deal for the price we pay.

Pros

- Mobile app - Save as draft function for CRFs - Payment manager capabilities - Site level document - Single sign on for all the studies in clinstudio (and different roles for admin) - Freedom for the look of eCRF (better control for positioning of variables and responses) - very prompt customer service

Cons

- On boarding training/experience (especially for admins) could have been better - Payment manager to include PO/check issued details - Multiple table on single eCRF always extracts as separate tabs/datasets. If one CRF has only one extracted dataset , that would be helpful.

Vendor response

Dear Kiran, Thank you for leaving a terrific review of Clinical Studio. We are glad the system's capabilities are performing well for Intuitive Surgical's medical device studies and you find the value for money to be a good deal. Your review has been shared with the customer experience team so we can continue to improve our onboarding process. Your feedback on the payment manager and CRF extractions has also been passed along to the folks in product development so those improvements can be made. - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

Crucial Clinical Study Database review

Reviewed 3 years ago

Our business needed a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution that could support data capture for a complex, large-scale, global, medical device registry. Data collection would be significant in amount with varying types of information required. In addition, we anticipated that multiple database updates would be implemented in order to refine data collection and the system has demonstrated an ability to accommodate these needs. While the reporting and metric capabilities do provide some opportunities for future improvements within the software, we can still get to the information. Overall, our experience has been very positive and we would consider this platform for future studies without hesitation.

Pros

The process of working with the Crucial team was and continues to be seamless. It was easy to obtain/access the software. Our database developers used the software to create a database for a large, global clinical registry and the Crucial team has been very supportive of both the initial set-up as well as multiple updates to the database that have occurred along the way. We have been able to integrate the platform easily within our clinical processes and customer service has been exceptional.

Cons

Future development opportunities exist around reporting and metric-tracking. Specifically, improving capabilities for clinical trial metrics and auto-generated reports. Much of the current reporting requires that a user first exports the data followed by analysis and report generation through additional tools such as excel. While this is technically functional, it would be fantastic to have more...

Hi Sarah, Many thanks for taking the time to leave this review review for TrialKit! It's wonderful to learn that you've had a positive experience with both the platform and our team.

This EDC is awesome!

Reviewed 3 years ago

The company is benefiting greatly from the features we were able to include or exclude based on our specific study. Our clients also seem pleased with the system, as the majority of our previous studies were managed using paper forms. The switch from paper CRFs to utilizing this EDC has been wonderful! Lastly, while it might only be notable for myself, I'd like to mention that I've grown personally through the set-up/customization/study build process in terms of gaining helpful, basic programming knowledge.

Pros

The product is very user-friendly and intuitive with simple icon legends and a detailed, informative help desk. It has the ability to be flexible with many aspects of different types of studies, and has a wide range of reporting features as well as audit reports. The automatic notifications, editable home page, and simple upload/export features are great. After the customization, during the initial study build, it was implemented and integrated seamlessly into our workflow.

Cons

There are a few small suggestions, such as developing the task of adding users to sites into a multi-select type option, instead of one by one. Read-only access to the payment manager would also be helpful. Batched email notifications regarding queries or review items, instead of an email per query, would be a nice feature too.

Vendor response

Thank you so much for this review, Stephanie! We are pleased to hear that the customizable nature of TrialKit has served your studies well and that your transition from paper has been a smooth one. Your suggestions have been passed along to our development team for future enhancements as we continue to improve the system. - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

Great Software for your Clinical Trial ToolKit

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

This software was really thought out when it was built. It robust enough to tackle any type of clinical and data capture workflow that a user will need, but simple enough to use that it does not overwhelm the end user.

Cons

The user interface when building forms is a little outdated and could use improvements, but overall the experience would have not deterred us from choosing this product

Vendor response

Hi Christopher, We appreciate the nice feedback about the TrialKit platform and are so happy that you've found it robust and easy to use! Your input on the form builder user interface has been shared with our development team. This is on the product roadmap for the year ahead as we work to update the UI for the entire TrialKit platform. Be sure to keep an eye out for more information on this in the coming months. - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

Great product!

Reviewed 6 years ago

I used Clinical Studio for several projects, including global phase III trials. We found the team at CLSDS superb to work with and very willing to make adjustments or add features we needed. Clinical Studio offers all the regular features of bigger more costly EDC systems but also offers iOS apps, randomization, coding, email alerts, great reporting functions, and more. This is by far the best product available for the price.
