Super responsive
My Castor customer success manager has always been super responsive to any issues that I might have brought up, and my Castor clinical implementation specialist is always willing to work with us to make sure that the EDC has the features that we need, or is able to propose a work-around so that we can achieve the goal that we need with our studies.

The support we needed...
We knew that if we went with Castor, we would have the support we needed moving forward, and would be able to discuss future studies and develop the tool to meet the needs of both current and future projects.

Castor Academy
To be able to test and perform the tasks hands on in this try out manner with the actual screen and actual examples is amazing. Additionally the options to just speeds though instead of clicking the highlighted box is also nice. For those that want to hear the text instead of reading it, the option for the speaker is also amazing.
