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.

  • Study build process is relatively easy to learn, and there are many tools within the system to help builders throughout the process.
  • Outstanding support - both technical / Helpdesk (with system features and capabilities) and project management. Each organization has their own Client Success Manager, and ours is doing an excellent job.
  • Periodical enhancements based on the users/clients/s feedback.
  • Training materials are very well prepared and organized.

Cons
Bioclinica
  • Report generating should be more robust and up to date. Clinical trial sites receive multiple queries for the same images even after the sites have responded to the same query.
  • The webiste to upload images by the site is good but I have used other similar software which is more intuitive and easy to maneuver.

  • 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.

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.

Parexel also has the capability to collect medical images in a central repository database. Parexel's uploading website is very intuitive and very easy to use. BioClinica can easily ensure that their uploading website is more user-friendly and the interface is easy to understand. Overall Bioclinica ICL is a very good option for pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies.
