IBM Clinical Trail offers an improvement on the above as it is considerably easier to navigate and has many more features. The side did seem faster however and could be used via an app which is useful in a busy environment. Both are around the same price bracket give or take.

ICD is a good tool for companies currently utilizing multiple software platforms to create and monitor clinical trial information. Due to the price, it is best suited for large pharmaceutical manufacturers with active pipelines and high R&D spend. ICD's value is more limited to smaller, more focused companies.

Cons
Merative
  • We cannot have multiple study accesses for a study in the studies supported by IBM clinical. eg. Coder and Data manager.
  • Though all the study-build related errors are flagged on the study-build page, some errors like incorrect dynamics applied, which eventually affects the subject PDF extraction, reports, etc.
  • When the study is imported from another IBM studies, certain attributes remain running in the background even if it seems to be disabled.

Usability

IBM has many different functionalities as well as modules that can be used depending on what the sponsor wants. I like that they are optional so that when building a study, you can give the sponsor options if they want them or not. Many of the optional models I like to use (Training Tracking for example) as they make tracking Site training so much easier than sending training forms out

ICD's support team is phenomenal. They are quick to answer or indicate that they need to research to provide an answer. There are some things that they cannot do which we can be annoying but we deal with it (visit windows). I have been very happy with the support team.
