Capture vs Ennov: the short version
- Ennov offers Ennov Clinical, an EDC and clinical data management solution, as part of a wider suite covering areas such as regulatory, quality and pharmacovigilance.
- Suite vendors appeal to organisations that want several functions from one supplier.
- Specialist platforms focus on the study itself: faster builds, participant tools and site workflows.
- Capture is self-serve with a free sandbox, and includes ePRO, eConsent and randomization in the same study.
- Test the study workflow hands-on, and weigh the value of a single suite vendor separately.

The comparison
Suite convenience versus study focus
Buying clinical data management from a vendor that also supplies regulatory, quality or safety software can simplify procurement and support. The question is whether the clinical module is the best fit for how your team runs studies, or whether a specialist platform would save more time in the study itself.
Capture is a specialist: its focus is getting a study built, live and clean, with participant data, consent and randomization in the same place. It exports data in open formats with a data dictionary, so it works alongside other systems. See clinical trial data ownership and portability.
What to compare
What to test when comparing Capture and Ennov
| Criterion | Why it matters | Capture |
|---|---|---|
| Study build | Time from protocol to testable study | AI drafts visits and forms from the protocol; your team reviews and approves |
| Modules in one study | Reconciliation and vendor count | EDC, ePRO, eConsent, randomization and kits with one audit trail |
| Data cleaning | Clean data at entry | Range and custom-value edit checks raise auto-queries; one query list |
| Exports | Analysis and future moves | CSV and Excel with a data dictionary, raw and decoded |
| Compliance controls | Part 11 and GCP expectations | Field-level audit trail, re-authenticated e-signatures, role-based access |
| Commercial model | Fit for your study size | Free sandbox; no setup fee; pay only when you go live |
This table shows Capture's answers only. Ask Ennov for theirs, and confirm current capabilities and terms directly with them.
Self-serve build
Your team builds and amends, with AI doing the drafting
The AI form builder drafts questions or lab tables from a description or an uploaded file, and the AI Study Generator drafts the schedule from your protocol. Nothing is saved without human review. Forms move from draft to approved and are locked for live use, so amendments are deliberate and recorded.
- Ten question types plus repeating table sections.
- Calculated fields such as BMI, BSA, eGFR and QTc.
- Configuration export and import between studies.

One platform
EDC, ePRO, eConsent and randomization in one study
Sites enter data on locked, approved forms with edit checks that raise queries at entry. Participants complete questionnaires on their own phones and sign eConsent with verified signatures. Randomization and kit management run in the same study, and everything shares one field-level audit trail.
- One participant record across every module.
- No integrations to build or reconcile.
- Phase 1 through Phase 3.

Fit
When Ennov fits, and when Capture does
Ennov Clinical is often a good fit for organisations already using other Ennov products that want clinical data management from the same supplier.
Capture fits teams that want the fastest route from protocol to live study, with EDC, ePRO, eConsent and randomization together and a free sandbox to test.
Compliance controls
The controls inspectors look for, built in
Every change is written to an append-only, hash-chained audit trail with user, time, old and new value and reason. Electronic signatures require password re-authentication and carry a meaning statement. Roles separate sites, and identifying data is segregated from study data at the database layer.
- Field-level audit trail, never hard deleted.
- Re-authenticated e-signatures.
- Role-based access with site separation.

Switching
Moving from Ennov to Capture
Start new studies in Capture while suite modules for regulatory, quality or safety stay where they are. Use exports with a data dictionary to feed other systems.
Historical data stays in its original export and is combined at analysis if needed. See how to switch EDC vendors mid-study for when a mid-study move makes sense.
