Castor EDC

Avantages

- Castor EDC is very easy to use; EVERYONE can learn it. There are very useful videos available to learn how to work with Castor EDC.
- Castor EDC is very easy to use in case multiple users need to add information to e.g. the same patient (i.e. record), you are able to limit the access/actions of each individual user
- You can access your data everywhere, it is widely availble and safely stored
- You can add validation criteria and data verification when you enter data to prevent incorrect data entry to limit missing/incorrect values
- It is very easy to incorporate surveys and send them to patients/users
- If you prepare your study well in Castor and use the features that are availlable, your data output can easily be uploaded to SPSS, which saves you a lot of work!

Inconvénients

Around two years ago it was not possible to send a survey to a group of people at the same time by using one link. Each person needed to receive an individual link from his/her own record ID. I would like to be able to use only one link that can be entered multiple times by multiple people.

PM. When I asked castor about this possibility at that time, I immediately received a reply. Within one hour they explained why it was not possible and suggested other possibilities to solve the question: the support is very good and always available!

What I liked least about Castor was that it did not collect all the information that, in my personal opinion, was necessary for the complete management of the trial.
