We use Edge as a fully integrated governance system for studies for which we act as Sponsor and also as a participating research site. The system is used for basic recruitment information. We customised it to report and store information on all aspects of study set-up, end to end from site selection to contract and then for amendments. The Research Management and Governance Team are the main users but we have extended use to the Research Practitioners and Data Managers for study documents and information that is version controlled and in date. All research facing staff involved in study set-up use Edge as part of the process to review capacity and capability. We have plans to extend to clinicians acting as Chief and Principal Investigators. We extended the system for all aspects of Sponsorship, as part of site oversight and management. We also use Edge as part of ECMC reporting and as our Document Control system. > > **Cons**: We would like to see a simple way to work on finances and costing templates. > > Our experience with Edge is excellent. We can produce timely reports on all aspects of study set-up and management. Particularly helpful with DoH reporting for PII and PID. The system is flexible and enables fully integrated governance and oversight. We have extended the system for the studies for which we act as Sponsor and continue to customise the system. We receive excellent support from the Southampton Team. ----- ### "There's a reason most NHS organisations use EDGE for research data" — 5.0/5 > **Mat** | *August 11, 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: High level of reliability and security. My users have very few complaints and require only a small amount of training to be able to use the system - always a good sign. The facilitation of collaboration with our LCRN and other NHS organisations is brilliant. > > **Cons**: Haven't been many changes or features added in the time I have been using EDGE - I'm really looking forward to EDGE 3\! > > We use EDGE for capturing trial participant recruitment, study management and governance, workflows, finance recording and tracking. calendar sharing and reporting of all study data. Haven't found another system which covers all the required functions as well as EDGE does. The EDGE team are superb - always available for queries, friendly and prepared to help, and there's a great community of EDGE users, happy to share their knowledge and experience. ----- ### "Edge" — 4.0/5 > **Rikki** | *May 26, 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is extremely well tailored to our research landscape and very customisable. The team are extremely helpful when you have any queries and brilliant at sharing knowledge > > **Cons**: The calendar functionality is very basic which makes tracking things difficult. No search functionality on the documents sections make finding things difficult. ----- ### "Evolutionary Development leads to Global Empowerment" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *May 25, 2020* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: A highly recommend clinical trials management database that is extremely quick and easy to use, and it gives you a noticeably clear overview of trials engagement. One of the few systems that spans the UK and research globally connecting the top professionals within the research community with the same goal. A product that organisations can scale to suit their needs benefitting from direct development involvement > > **Cons**: It is difficult to criticise a system I have been extremely supportive of, however there a few suggestions I had made previously that may make there way to EDGE 3, these include automatic appointments and more report filtering capabilities. > > Unlike many applications EDGE has evolved by the direct involvement of the users it is not designed with any organisation in mind but in a far more democratic manner. As a software package for research it is not perfect but for the customer service and high security storage costs afforded alone it has more than the Edge on its competitors. I doubt there is a similar package out there commercially that would provide the functionality and support of EDGE at the same price. ----- ### "Multi-functional system" — 5.0/5 > **Cathy** | *August 8, 2019* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is so easy to use and everything is in one place when setting up a research study - from the initial idea/concept of a study through to archiving it. You can upload any document you need into the relevant section of the system including sponsor and site information. When you upload a new version of a document, the old version is automatically archived so you don't lose any previous documents - they are all safely hidden away for you. You can keep information private or public depending on what level you require people to view your study. Information is easily found and reports can be run for nearly everything - if it's in EDGE you can get it out in a report\! You can create your own fields such as attributes and workflows (checklists) to make the system your own. If you have an idea to improvement EDGE, the Local Administrator can put it onto IdeaScale - you can help develop EDGE for the future. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately you can't drag and drop documents into EDGE yet but fingers crossed that will be coming in the next version. You can't amend documents in EDGE as you have to download them and upload the amended version. For me there aren't really any cons as I've already mentioned, you can make your instance your own. > > I have used EDGE for over eight years and couldn't imagine using anything else. The brilliant support team are always on hand to answer any questions you have. Use EDGE - why wouldn't you\! ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047603/edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047603/edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
