Method

How to compare clinical trial software fairly

Feature lists make most platforms look alike. What separates them is how your study behaves in each: how long the first build takes, how sites experience data entry and queries, how participants get through consent and questionnaires, what the audit trail shows, and what the whole study costs, including setup, per-site fees and change orders.

Give every shortlisted vendor the same protocol and the same test scenarios, time each step, and score the results against weights you agreed before the demos. The EDC RFP template and the EDC vendor comparison guide help structure the process.

What Capture is not

Capture is software, not a CRO or a core lab. It does not provide ECG or imaging reading, clinical supply logistics or video visits, and it is not a full CTMS. The comparison pages say so where it matters.
