Time consuming when transferring large data set from the application

How I use ResearchManager

Comments: I started using the research management to imput some patients information, it let me work remotely with other centers.

Pros:

How easy is to imput the information, it really helps me to look and review what other researchers in my project upload.

Cons:

The company I work with in the USA gave me the oportunity to use it and since the project started I haven't had any issue

Using research manager for getting committee approval

Pros:

Support quickly replied and forwarded me to the correct person to solve my problem.

Cons:

International researchers need to work with the research manager for getting committee approvals, since it only supports the dutch language the work with the research manger is very complicated. Also the open field, which need to be filled during the submit-process are badly explained. The process is not streamlined and although the Amsterdam UMC policy is to let outsiders file submits on their own, the fields do not support submission with non-Amsterdam UMC mail addresses.

Proces and Document Management System

Comments: It does what it's meant for

Pros:

Organizes an essential process of protocol routing

Cons:

Not all buttons are totally intiutive. It requires some training and experience.

New user

Pros:

it's easy to use, in my experience access the data and put the data on the document is very easy, everyone could adapt to his own necessities

Cons:

some data must be calculated in an easy way

Makes setting up a study easier

Pros:

At my University, we have been using this software for the past few months to set up a research project and it is a significant improvement than we had before. It is easy to use and it makes the process faster than before.

Cons:

I did not notice any downsides yet, I have been using it only as of recently.

metc Isala

Comments: The best bennefit is the cloud based all in one system for submitting and reviewing any type of study .
The system is easily accessible and supports all parties in the assessment of a study. In addition, the system has an archif function where all documents are saved. The approved and the rejected. The minutes and questions from the committee members remain transparent to all parties at all times. If a printout has to be made for overviews of studies or study components, this system is supporting this. You can sort on every detail of/in the application. This saves the secretariat and its staff a lot of time.It is easy to make overviews on request for investigators or for the competent authority when in need.

Pros:

it is easy for investigators to upload their study. They can follow the progress of the descission making process.... The METC has all the docs/letters/review questions/and meeting information in 1 application. The members of the METC have easy acces to the application and they can add their review from any laptop/computer or phone from anywher in the world as long as there is internet.

Cons:

It some times can be a bit slow , that can be frustrating!

Great Product

Pros:

I work for an orthopedic practice that collaborates with different medical device companies. Previously our work was paper-based but with RM we have been able to create and collect data in an efficient way. This platform is very user-friendly, with real-time data capturing and meets all the Good Clinical Practice and confidentiality criteria required in our practice.

Cons:

There is no real-time troubleshooting option available. If the issues issnt addressed in the FAQ an email needs to be sent and in most of the cases the response is in dutch.

It's a good program, easy to use. I wish the technical support department was more responsive.

Comments: It's a good program, easy to use. I wish the technical support department was more responsive.

Pros:

that you can easily edit it yourself, I like that as an administrator I can have several studies connected

Cons:

sometimes the system is not intuitive and you have to look for some tabs

Review WCN - LoDoCo2 trial

Comments: The helpdesk is not very keen on providing quick responses on more difficult questions.

Pros:

The software is easy to use and has very good export options to work with the data during the trial.

Cons:

That the monitor options are not so well defined. The query module is very counter intuitive and the pages can only be locked after many steps. The same holds for the monitor option.

Easy to use

Pros:

Efficient and Fast data save automatically.

Cons:

Overall good but for finding all patient data list we need to go to home task.

User shortcoming point

Comments: Its a pitty you can not overwrite some documents.
I mean, for some documents there are templates in Research Manager. But as we have to undersign these documents, we can not overwrite these documents. You have to add a new document instead of overwriting the template!

Pros:

Its easy in use and clear! One can see in one blink of an eye which documents are missing.

Cons:

There is not much I dont least about this software! Just the 1 point I describe here under

overall outstandin application.

Comments: there is no problem while using research manager.

Pros:

how the way research manager working on data capturing that is very nice. easily assess.

Cons:

capturing all the data quickly. overall very good application

Review by a research nurse

Comments: It is easy to use and you can use Study Manager as a project management system which is really helpful and efficient if used by the whole company.

Pros:

Easy to use: data manager is user friendly for data entry. Sudy manager gives a clear overview of the trial.

Cons:

Lack of some functionalities, e.g. I switch a lot from 'Self Service > Invitations' to 'CRF Data' to check the level of the reported data by a subject. There are a lot of clicks involved, it would be easier if you could go directly from a subject number to the CRF data. Also, the program is a bit slow, e.g. to select a site and a subject number.
