DZS Software Solutions
The platform can be used for new biotechs who are just starting to implement clinical research platforms or for companies who are looking for new systems. ClinPlus has all other systems too such as EDC, IWRS, and eTMF so a company can use one platform for all the systems. ClinPlus Clinical Trial Management System is cloud-based so it is useful for end users to access the system without logging into a company server.

MasterControl
MasterControl Clinical Excellence would be great for short or long-term projects where regulatory approval flows are required. It would not be great as an Onboarding platform or learning management system as the user interface is not extremely intuitive nor is the design super user friendly or modern. It does do a few core things very well, which include storing documentation and managing streamlined approval processes.

MasterControl
  • When starting packets you get multiple emails daily while a packet is in progress, some emails come when it is not your turn to make any edits. Too many notifications.
  • It is sometimes difficult to see who has seen all levels of a document in a packet before you sign off. Everyone may not get a chance to view it.
  • Search function is good but simple searches can turn up too many unnecessary results.

Alternatives Considered
DZS Software Solutions
I still prefer using Medidta CTMS as the platform is laid out in a very intuitive way and it is also very easy to integrate all the data into other platforms. With Clin Plus CTMS the system is good but to utilize it to its full potential all the other platforms provided by Clin Plus needs to be purchased also
