About CDD Vault

CDD Vault is a cloud-based informatics platform designed to help research foundations, hospitals, academic labs, pharmaceutical and consumer goods companies organize, track and analyze biological and chemical data.

CDD Vault enables drug discovery teams to search for experiments and results in a structure-activity relationship (SAR) table and filter substructures to detect patterns. Project teams can collaborate and share datasets with team members, measure the quality of results through heatmap visualizations or plate statistics and generate custom reports. The solution lets professionals document research using text, images, tables, and files, coach teammates in real-time and design custom electronic lab notebook (ELN) forms.

CDD Vault comes with an inventory management module, which allows supervisors to maintain compound details, pre-order compounds, allocate resources and track location using barcodes. Pricing is available on request and support is offered via documentation.

Pros:

Very good for E-lab Notebook management where we can integrate both chemistry and biology workflows. It supports easy data sharing, project tracking, and helps maintain good collaboration within teams. The user interface is intuitive and smooth, which makes learning and using the system simple even for new users.

Cons:

Honestly, I don’t have any major complaints. But occasionally, loading large datasets takes a bit of time, and the system can slow down. Also, some advanced features could use more detailed documentation or help guides for easier adoption by new users

Pros:

In our drug discovery organization, CDD is a central feature for biological data storage, analysis, and reporting. Its intuitive interface requires a minimal learning curve to register compounds, generate assay curve fittings, and produce useful data reports. Numerous built-in options allow additional customization to your projects or your organization. Sharing specific data with collaborators is very easy through the use of readily available links, user-defined collections, and saved searches. We use separate virtual vaults to record, communicate, and assess new design ideas, thanks to a growing list of "calculated chemical properties" offered within CDD Vault. The support team at CDD is exceptionally responsive and helpful, allowing all our requests to be promptly and effectively answered.

Cons:

The CDD team is eager to keep improving their product via customer feedback, and thus most of the CONS eventually get resolved over time. One function that we would really benefit from is a temporary "working space", where data could be reviewed and analyzed by the uploading scientist prior to publishing to the main vault for all collaborators to see and use.

Great data base but could be better

It's a great software for this price, compared to other software. But they need to improve some aspect of it.

Pros:

I really like how we can customize everything according to our needs. I also really like the ELN (optional)

Cons:

I do NOT like at all the graph given by CDD vault. It's not graphic, we can't change anything on it. We will still have to use graphpad prism for the paper/grants figure.

CDD gets high marks for design, ease of use, functionality and reliability as a platform

Functionality

Pros:

Each feature is well thought out, tested (yes tested!) and documented. The interface is clean and does not overwhelm the end user or admin with unlimited configuration. I have helped deploy this software at over a dozen biotechs and most are up and running in a week. Compare that with a an expensive slow deployment of most other drug discovery platforms. Loading data into the system is quite easy and reliable with "error" and "warning" messages which are descriptive. Searching for and viewing data also gets high marks. From an admin perspective I find the system to have very low overhead.

Cons:

There is not a lot I dislike about CDD, most items are addressed by the development team via a request. If I had to pick something it would probably be updating DRC data (specifically DRC) which has already been processed by end users. Ultimately this can be a bit cumbersome as you can either update in the CDD interface which is not quite perfect for editing this data OR you can reload the data. Reloading the data is less than desirable so it would be great if the interface undergoes some renovations.

Pros:

As a bioinformatician scientist I find this tool very useful. It serves both our biologists and medicinal chemists scientists. The fact that it includes additional outsource valuable resource of information e.g. PDB, Chemogenomics databases assists sometimes in first-step hits characterization. Helps to organize the data coming from different sources e.g. Genedata Flexible tool; you can add your own features such as comments, supplier, synthesis notes etc The Support team should get 13 out of 10 STARS, one of the best support that I got.

Cons:

The QC process currently only provide several reports, but I think that professional tools that enables to search the database directly could be better.

Pros:

I used CDD Vault as a biologist in a previous drug discovery group. When I was recruited to lead a new drug discovery and development program one of the first moves was to bring CDD Vault into the program. CDD Vault's technology enables easy data-sharing between chemistry and biology so cross-discipline discussions become clear and productive. Analysis of screening data from raw or normalized plate formats with linked compound structures and computed properties makes sorting and ranking for desired properties simple. Any hiccups in our experience was easily solved by support, or a quick search of the help section (very clear write-ups on how data are analyzed/computed can be found in the help section).

Cons:

I haven't found an easy way to format data from our plate reader for upload to the vault, but I bet if I contacted support they would have a few recommendations. They really are quite helpful.

Pros:

the Vault is so easy, flexible, and intuitive to use, and requires nearly zero maintenance. It's a very cost effective way to recapitulate industrial-style databases in a smaller environment. In addition, it allows us to easily and smoothly share our data (structures, biology etc) with our many collaborators around the world. In addition, their customer/technical support is astonishingly fast and helpful.

Cons:

I'd love for there to be a mobile app! Frequently I'm in a meeting or on the road, and want to quickly look something up.

Easily store and retrieve data and use it within the app for modeling and visualization. CDD provides analytical tools such as calculated properties and some in silico calculations. Entering data is facilitated by flexibility in setting up data fields, and customer support is extremely helpful getting everything running smoothly.

Cons:

Very little not to like, so there isn't much to say here.

Using CDD Vault for Virtual Lab Meetings

Pros:

We are running HTS and hit to lead using a semi-virtual model: all bicohemical and cellular testing is done in house; med chem, chemistry, ADME/PK and XTAL is external. The Vault is our primary communication tool. Our med chemists check daily for new biochemical and/or cellular dose response data to drive SAR and design of new analogs. When we hold virtual meetings, we use the Vault as our primary tool for sharing data. It is extrememely convenient to be able to pull up all of the data on a compound, along with physicochemical properties, and eastily search for data on related compounds, etc. The ability to eliminate outliers from dose response curves on the fly is also very handy, as it allows you to firm up SAR in real time.

Cons:

Uploading new compunds can be tricky if different SMILES formats are used.
