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\! ----- ### "EDGE - Easy to use, does what it says on the tin" — 5.0/5 > **Claire** | *10 March 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, easy to navigate around interface, tabs do what you think they will, icons are sensible, system does not respond in unexpected ways. Operations are 'foolproof' - it is almost impossible to accidentally delete or overwrite something, which makes you confident to experiment. Support materials are easily accessible and clear, support team are great and really helpful. System can be optimised to have additional 'personalised' functions via Forms and Workflows so can be easily adapted to your own ways of working. > > **Cons**: System logs you out if no keystrokes/mouse movements after a very short period of time (however this is required by security rules in NHS so not much they can do about this) > > Great system - easy to use, easy to train others to use, now currently could not do my job without it. I am evangelical about EDGE - it's a great design\! ----- ### "Easy to access system with adaptable functionality" — 5.0/5 > **Alessia** | *27 May 2020* | Research | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system is user-friendly and can allow training to be rolled out with minimal support. There is functionality to use adapt the system within the limits of the programme to be bespoke for your organisation. Allows collaboration, and visibility of data to a wide audience and it is particularly useful to be able to gain access from a web-browser for home working. It has been essential for our switch to home-working during the COVID-19 pandemic. > > **Cons**: Creating reports being limited to admin users is not very user friendly due to time constraints for the admin staff. We do not use EDGE for our reporting purposes for that reason, however the ability to create reports for staff to use does get around this slightly. > > EDGE is a good company who we have had positive interactions with. When escalation is required to EDGE they are quick to get back to you and offer support via regional contacts if required. It is a very effective research management system. ----- ### "Edge is No.1 for Research" — 5.0/5 > **Alice** | *7 March 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Edge constantly throughout my working day, it is easy to navigate around and keeps track of all the studies that I currently have in set up. I use the reports regularly to keep up to date with the tasks I need to complete each week. Uploading documents has now become so much easier with Edge 3 and there are constant updates to make our work each day easier > > **Cons**: Edge logs you out of your account after not using it for 20 mins or so so constantly logging back in. > > Edge is user friendly for all users whether it is used for study set up like me or the logging of new participants to a study or a new researcher who needs to understand the process of submitting a new study. I enjoy training new staff on Edge and showing other members of the team features that we currently do not use within our Trust. If I had it my way we would be using Edge to its full advantage and Edge would be the first port of call for everyone within the department. ----- ### "Manage all projects in one space" — 5.0/5 > **Annemie** | *3 March 2025* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is designed from the site user's perspective and not from the 'top down' like most other software. As a research site, we have visibility of all our projects and participants in one space, regardless of who the study sponsor is or where the study is being conducted. We can easily see the status of all our projects. > > **Cons**: There are many ways (almost too many) to navigate the system, which can make it hard for new users to learn/grasp. There is a navigation bar horizontally across the top of the page and another vertically down the left side of the page. This can be confusing for new users. > > I love how Edge can be customized to fit what I need it to do. I can also leave out/ignore features/fields I don't want to use, without any issues. ----- 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
