What do you like best about Castor?

The ability to have screening, eConsent, case report forms, and a study database on a centralized platform. Castor can aslo automate email reminders to participants and automate a schedule for emailing study questionnnaries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castor?

Overall, my experience was positive with the Castor Implementation team. I do truly appreciate the time and consideration that was given to me in the process. I feel like every meeting/call that I had, I learned something. It was all helpful. Having said that, I do believe the learning curve is steep. In my experience, I did not use the Castor team to buildout the EDC, and I understand that using them would have made this process much smoother. Unfortunately it was not in the budget as that is an additional service. It was hard to scramble through the videos and apply them as a newbie and I know that this prolonged the EDC being complete. I do feel like there is something missing for the customers that do not pay Castor to do the EDC building. Maybe in the customer package there could be options to purchase tutoring sessions or pay by the hour tutoring for customers on smaller budgets. I understand that it may not be a common problem but I was just sharing my experience to provoke some thoughts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Castor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using Castor EDC reduced the paper trail that comes with performing a clinical trial. We were using multiple sites for this trial and having paper case report froms for each location would have been difficult to manage and very time consuming. Additionally, staying on top of the data monitoring duties was simpler and data was much easier to verify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cole Egan of Castor

Thank you for your review! Glad to hear that you are taking advantage of our email reminder and automated scheduling features for your study questionnaires.

To offer assistance with future study builds, Castor now offers assisted build packages which include consulting time with one of our Clinical Implementation Specialists. Additionally, Solution Architect consulting can be purchased by the hour.

Improving the efficiency of the clinical trial process is our goal – thank you for sharing that Castor EDC has reduced your paper trail and simplified your monitoring process!
