It's costly for any small-scale company. The system is complicated to implement and requires someone knowledgeable of the program. It's also not a very user-friendly program and requires a bit of training to learn how to use it.

Software is developed with end users in mind. Lab workflows and processes are easily configured. Out of the box configuration can get a lab up and running in no time. LIMS admin support tools are easy to manage and understand with time and use.

It's a shame that the core of the schedule is fixed. Accordingly, the existing schedule creation rules had to be changed.
