Medrio Reviews

Medrio has all the features necessary to capture data for any clinical trial. They present it in an very easy to use interface that sites like to use. The design features allow for rapid setup and deployment which is key for many type of clinical studies. Make updates and changes along the way is easy and their business model if very transparent and affordable for all budgets.

The randomization capability is nice but does not handle complex study designs and trial supply management. This is an area that can be expanded.

The ease of work. Almost anything you think of its doable within Medrio.

Sometimes you just need a tip, an advise on how to do or implement a small change and you're required to purchase a whole training session. It would be great if at least basic, guided information would be available through support.

Very flexible, user-friendly and easy to set up. Great system for our early phase studies which can be up and running in 3 weeks, including edit checks programmed in and validated.

Anything that we have any issues with gets flagged and discussed, with any possible improvements being part of their feature roadmap.

Ease and ability to configure database in a short amount of time.

System was initially lacking some key features we find common to oncology trials.
System slowness at times.

Easy to build and use but sites, sponsors and clinical teams. Very responsive Customer support.

Lack of EDC capabilities that other EDC systems already include (Local Lab tool, true diary collection)

Building in Medrio is intuitive and quick, while still providing a powerful and flexible platform. Their customer service is the best in the industry with rapid replies to all our needs. My team can always count on Medrio as a reliable and versatile solution.

We look forward to new features like local lab and integrated IRT modules

In the beginning it was a small team and they were very customer oriented, and just all around helpful with start up

Not enough reporting features or management of sites/monitors features

Ease of use. Very easy to learn and pick up.

Limited functionality when compared to other systems.

Extremely user friendly...
System Navigation, Query resolution or data base build etc...very easy to learn

Coding Module
Would be great if we can have indication/Route populating with the coding term.
Will become much efficient while coding avoiding going back and forth

It is very easy to use for both the end-users (i.e. site data entry people) and the back-end programmers. It is very quick to get a database up and running. Building the database only takes a couple weeks (counting time for review cycles and UAT). Mid-study changes can be completed in as little as a day or two.

There are still a few features that some of the largest (i.e. most expensive) systems have that Medrio is missing, such as a very robust targeted SDV / Risk Based Monitoring module. In addition, it has a cumbersome re-querying method. That said, we've still used this system successfully for 700+ patient Phase III studies that included Risk-Based Monitoring, so those issues are not too limiting.

Medrio is an intuitive easy to learn and use EDC system right out of the box. Very customizable to meet most sponsors' needs. The simplicity of the system allows for lower training costs and faster build times.

Great EDC choice in most situations.

Like most EDC solutions, Medrio cannot be all things to all people. Medrio does lack a number of key 'modules' and some of the modules it does have cannot handle more complex studies.

What Medrio does, it does well, but as it continues to grow, it needs to continue to add to its package and keep the product at high levels.

My favorite feature in Medrio is the skip logic (field dynamics). This feature eliminates writing a large number of edit checks and aids the end user in data entry, as the fields they do not need to enter are hidden.

I would like if some of the design portions could be done in bulk, for instance copying forms and editing variables. The current release allows one variable to be edited at a time and can copy one form at a time.

Medrio is extremely user friendly and makes database building a snap.

There are still some system limitations, such as no lab norm module.

Medrio is drag and drop programming so very easy to use. Their customer support is excellent.

Medrio would benefit from faster new releases.

The end to end customer / user / administrator support and instruction. Ease of use - building, using, and administration.

Some small features that do not impact use and have no sway on my opinion.

The data points you are able to include are remarkable and easy to identify for users

Dislike the difficulty in use for some of our staff who claim it is TOO much like an old school EDC system

I am able to access all of the information I need on the site and entering information into the EDC is very user friendly. IT is very easy to follow.

I found it difficult to find the printable version of the pages I entered information on. When the system was prompted to generate a file, it actually never did and I ended up having to print the webpage.

Ease of use. The speed with which a study database can be set up and deployed. Also, the ease of implementing mid-study changes without affecting existing data.

Some of the configuration modules are still inconsistent in the way they look and function. Laying out case report forms could be easier.

Medrio is fairly easy to learn and leverage to advantage. Many of the features are useable and configurable by relatively inexperienced users - like any software once you begin to really dig in a more focused and dedicated setup person in beneficial. That said - it is powerful and allows for a great deal of design and setup flexibility with out advanced coding or programming knowledge.

There are some interface inconsistencies that require the developer to adjust to a slightly different look and feel as you move from section to section. This is to be expected as a product matures and moves forward adding features and function. I'd like to see the incorporation of a more robust Lab Normal component (this is in development and components are rolling out with each release). I have also run into a few restrictions with Skip Logic that could benefit from a slightly more robust solution. Most of the issues are minor little things like not coming back to the same page when you complete a configuration or not being to dynamically control the number of items on a page - all minor and easily adjusted to.

The flexibility to design and implement EDC databases that are tailored to the needs of medical device start-up companies in an efficient and economical manner is the main aspect of Medrio that appeals to me and my clients.

Does not have some of the features (i.e. dynamic fields) found in other EDC database platforms; however, this is not a must-have feature for me.

Medrio is an incredibly intuitive system to learn, much simpler to learn than other traditional EDC systems I have used. Very efficient workflow for quickly building a clinical database, with lots of more advanced features that can be leveraged as needed. Also the cross-functional team has given positive feedback about the user interface. Onboarding was smooth and easy, thanks to a series of helpful meetings and active followup from our Medrio Project Manager.

Certain features from other EDC systems have not yet been developed in Medrio (i.e. complex custom function query logic, dynamic search list fields). However, the support team was very helpful in developing workarounds in these situations and they pro-actively seek client feedback for new features to add with future product releases. Overall, Medrio EDC is a great product and will continue to get better!

It is very easy to set up and for the end-users to use. Anytime I need the system to do something that is not straightforward their help desk is able to program it and they build the feature into their next upgrade. All users can see data and reports in real-time. It is also so much less expensive than most other systems. Updating and validating the database due to protocol amendments is easy and quick. Their helpdesk is always timely to respond and answers their phone right away.

There are sometimes limited capabilities for when a trial has a unique data collection requirement, however, there has always been a workaround for when this has occurred.
