"Managing multiple projects for centers and studies."
3.5/5
What do you like best about REDCap?

The data exporting options and the reports that are searchable, which makes it easy to filter and sort subjects. I find it relatively easy to anonymize the data. Being able to upload PDFs is really helpful for saving forms and tests that you can always use to check the instruments with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about REDCap?

Navigating between records is difficult and data changes in one project can't be synced with another. I can be difficult to create very specific user rights and remove them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"REDcap review as clinical data management"
5/5
What do you like best about REDCap?

Good to longtudinal data and easy to learn. The design is pretty straightforward, and it allows other functions like API and linking to a survey. The report is convenient for data export and further analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about REDCap?

Inconvenient for multiple inputs within a time, like multiple medical history input in the screening period. Medical history has to be created as repeated input and can't be corporated in the screening evaluation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful, but not user friendly"
3.5/5
What do you like best about REDCap?

RedCap is a university-sponsored research tool that allows us to collect data both in-person and remotely (which is perfect during the pandemic!). My favorite part about it is that you can see the progress of the person taking the survey. I conduct research with children with ADHD, so this is very helpful to know if they are actually working or if they are just searching the internet. Additionally, Redcap is very secure and i feel confident knowing that my research data is saved on the site. Finally, they make it easy to start up by allowing you to download pre-made questionnaires or upload questionnaires that someone else made in a csv file. This easily saved me hours of typing and spell-checking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about REDCap?

RedCap is not user friendly. Things are difficult to even find (not kidding - even the link to get into your university's redcap. Its not on the website or published anywhere, we had to ask an administrator to send us a link). The language that it uses is not consistent with typical research language. That being said, it is a powerful and useful tool and the pros often outweigh the cons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of RedCap for G2"
5/5
What do you like best about REDCap?

It's a secure place for storing research data and the version that my company uses is encrypted meaning the information is stored safely and securely. I also use the RedCap External Platform which means that it is extremely useful to use remotely when working offsite which has been extremely helpful during COVID-19 times. The interface is very friendly and there are opportunities available to convert the electronic data forms collected onto an excel spreadsheet and SPSS document for further analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about REDCap?

The RedCap website undergoes routine maintenance which can be inconvenient at times. But the team does provide advance notice as to when the platform will be offline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All the features but not the cleanest platform"
4/5
What do you like best about REDCap?

I like that REDCap is able to manage large amounts of data and has a lot of copy features to reduce redundant work. It has a lot of features to help manage the data such as dashboards, custom reports, and ability to assign timeline to surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about REDCap?

The platform is not very user friendly both from setting it up to using it to collect data. Sometimes it has been buggy with sending out forms or the scheduler breaking. The platform does not look the cleanest/simple adding to the confusion when using to set up surveys and reports or logging data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
