It enables us to easily record information about the projects reviewed by our Research and Development team and track the journey of a clinical studies in a clear interface. It was my job to teach our local users how to use EDGE and the its customisable features made it simpler to explain it. The list of cons are really just suggestions on how EDGE could improve in my opinion, not really things I dislike about it. In fact, colleagues who know me well can attest to the fact that I'm pretty effusive about it and could talk about EDGE for hours\! ----- ### "Main source of information" — 5.0/5 > **GABRIELLA** | *16 September 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: EDGE is used for our research main database to store the study documents and track processes for better patient efficiency. Easy to use and train new users. The customer and client support is always available if any problem and they take any users feedback on board to make it more user friendly. There are regular updates to the system to fix bugs and issues. The reports are very useful to give an overall picture on performance and setup workflows/forms to track any issues or help to adjust to specific timelines. > > **Cons**: The system constantly logging us out every 20 minutes, but I understand it is setup for safety. We don't tend to use it yet for site file management or delegation/training logs. > > I am using EDGE throughout the day, this is the main source of information where I can find the latest patient facing documents or I can look up any source of information like is there a pharmacy support, when recruitment finished or whether a PI has approved a modification yet etc. ----- ### "EDGE-og, the OG data management system" — 4.0/5 > **Rebecca** | *30 September 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: EDGE is great for Data Management, when so many organisations use EDGE they have done an excellent job at making it useful for everyone. The customer support team are one of the best, they are super responsive and will make changes as requested by users, if appropriate > > **Cons**: There are tweaks that could improve EDGE. Better flexibility about role: task settings. Improved reporting - so that you don't need to export and filter for example > > Working in a large organisation EDGE helps us to use one system in many ways to successfully set up, run and invoice studies. My experience is overall very positive. ----- ### "Edge is invaluable\!" — 5.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *17 September 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Edge transformed our daily workflow by bringing everything into one centralised system. Every aspect of the study and participant journey is managed within Edge, from study set up, finance, document management, appointments, reporting, processes and training records. Having all information in one place has significantly improved efficiency and organisation across our organisation. > > **Cons**: There are no features I dislike on Edge, everything I need can be stored or created using the system. > > I have used Edge since 2014 and was involved in the implementation at my HB so I really recognised the benefits from day 1. Going from using paper diaries and spreadsheets to using Edge for every aspect of managing research and participants was invaluable. ----- ### "EDGE - Superb LPMS making Research easier\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *23 September 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: EDGE is a fantastic project management system for Research\! My role is in Data and Reporting and I am also our Trust's Lead Admin and trainer for the system so I use it constantly through my working day. The user interface is very clean and easy to navigate and I love how customisable the system is with options such as creating custom forms for data collection on research studies and participants. > > **Cons**: As with all systems there is always room for improvement and development and the support team are fantastic at working on developing and progressing the system and also supporting Trusts with any suggestions and ideas. However, the only area of the system I would love to see developed further is the audit functionality to allow more thorough and accurate auditing of data entry and user management, particularly as our Trust uses every aspect of the system so fully. > > I can't recommend EDGE enough, and frequently do to anyone who will listen. As a Trust, I would say we are one of the most advanced nationally with our use of EDGE and have presented several times at EDGE conferences and supported other Trusts with their development and use of the system. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/220291/edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/220291/edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
