What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Labguru really helped us keep the our lab's work and our research organized. it was really useful at managing data too. It was easy to track experiments, write protocols, keep track of our samples and connect them to experiments. since all the data was connected and organized, it was very easy for us to share information and make conclusions. Setting it up and creating the infrastructure was very easy because of the user-friendly interface and great customer support. ever since we set everything up we've been using it on a daily basis.

"Labguru is great for pre-populating experimental protocols"
4/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

What I like the most about Labguru is the ability to create step-wise SOP and pre-populate our experimental procedure on the day of our experiment. ELN recording is most efficient when we use the step-wise format for standard procedures. The customizability of the Labguru protocol is great because it is flexible for different types of assays.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

We've had problems with Labguru running slow on iPads/tablets in the lab. We obtained iPads to use in the lab for elimination of paper notes because we thought this was a convenient and portable alternative to laptops. However, we ran into issues when trying to use Labguru in the real time on the iPad due to lagging/slow refresh rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great user friendly ELN that helps with organizing experiments in complex projects"
5/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

The most helpful characteristic of Labguru is how user friendly the platform is. All scientists in our lab can easily use Labguru without extensive introduction. We use it daily to keep track of our experiments in projects involving several people. Labguru has become an essential part of our documentation system that allows to produce polished protocols and reports. Our contact person has been very helpful in implementation of the system in our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

As we can not bring our computers to the lab we had to get used to spending some time transferring details and notes from the lab at the computer after the experiments.

The layout, especially of tables, can be a bit difficult to control and does not always print well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Labguru is a reliable ELN offering many features to users and programmers"
4/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

I like the workflow editor integrated into Labguru. There is a bit of a learning curve to learning how to use workflows, but once understood, it is easy to automate tasks within the ELN.

The organization of the ELN makes sense - I enjoy how collections are structured and how easy it is to filter these collections to find data of interest.

Customer support is response, helpful, and friendly. I quickly get support with questions I have about website usage or programming workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Loading times are too long - particularly for some important pages such as datasets. Some features are not used fully due to these long load times.

Tickets I submit for issues/bugs that are require more help than quick customer support take too long to be fulfilled.

There are serious design issues that could be critical risks such as allowing any user to delete a dataset and allowing any admin to delete the entire account. Greater control over user roles and permissions is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Labguru is exceptionally user-friendly."
5/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Our lab has been using Labguru since the very first day we established the lab in late 2016, and after nearly a decade of experience, we can confidently say it has been transformative for every aspect of our research operations.

Labguru is exceptionally user-friendly, allowing new lab members to get up to speed quickly and integrate seamlessly into ongoing projects. It has been absolutely essential in maintaining high levels of rigor and reproducibility — experimental records, protocols, and data are meticulously organized, easy to search, and fully traceable.

For a lab with frequent turnover, Labguru has been critical to ensuring smooth transitions and preserving institutional knowledge. It has also dramatically improved communication within the lab and with external collaborators — making it simple to share up-to-date protocols, datasets, and experimental designs in a secure and structured way.

The archiving feature has been a major asset: maintaining an accessible and well-organized archive of plasmids, sequences, and reagents has saved us an enormous amount of time, effort, and money. Simply avoiding the re-cloning of a plasmid or reordering an antibody already saves more than the cost of an annual membership per person. The resource management capabilities alone have paid for themselves many times over.

In terms of financial impact, Labguru has been incredibly effective. By tracking inventory carefully and reducing duplicate orders, we've saved substantial money on reagents and supplies. The product purchasing system is well-integrated, straightforward, and reliable, further streamlining our ordering process.

Another major strength is the continuous updates that improve the platform's functionality and security. Labguru now offers even stronger data protection, expanded storage capacity, and regular feature updates based on user feedback. Their customer service is truly outstanding — highly responsive, approachable, and proactive. They have even implemented several of our suggestions into system updates, making us feel like valued partners, not just users.

Finally, when it comes time to write and publish papers, Labguru shines. All experimental protocols, raw data, and critical details are systematically stored and easy to retrieve, making manuscript preparation and review processes dramatically smoother and faster.

In short, Labguru has become the backbone of our lab's research infrastructure. It supports excellence, saves money, improves collaboration, and helps us work smarter at every stage. I would recommend it without hesitation to any lab looking to operate at the highest standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

"Overall, a positive experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

The inventory management system is really efficient, especially with the customizable barcodes that you can easily integrate into your experiments. It makes everything run so smoothly.

The equipment management feature is also great. It’s super clear which equipment needs calibration or cleaning, and it’s easy to log those activities.

The overall layout is user-friendly. Plus, there are tons of possibilities for automation, which can really streamline our workflow.

The customer support that we've received is amazing during development and especially after launch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

We recently switched from using Excel for batch records to Labguru. While the transition has been mostly positive, there are a few downsides as a high throughput QC lab. One of the issues is that there is some lag time, the automation is not as instant as an Excel formula. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Having used numerous digital tools in our lab operations, Labguru stands out, exceeding expectations on numerous fronts.

Ease of implementation- It was fairly easy to implement and if we had questions, the Labguru Customer Success team was there to help.

Ease of use- Very intuitive and easy to use. The platform keeps improving all the time. I love the user interface- it looks good and the user experience has improved lately.

Frequency of use- I use Labguru on daily basis and run all my lab activities via Labguru- from planning experiments to handling the data and samples.

Ease of integration- fairly easy and again the CS team is always there for you.

Inventory Management System is a great feature. It simplifies the tracking of laboratory resources, eliminating the traditional, tedious process of manual stock management. The system provides real-time updates on inventory levels, informing us when we're running low on essential items and need to re-order. Labguru supports the categorization of inventory, making it much easier to locate specific items when needed. It's an exceptional time-saver and efficiency booster!

One of the aspects we appreciate the most about Labguru is its excellent customer support, especially Meirav, Ilya, and Li-Or. Whether we've encountered issues or simply needed guidance on how to better utilize the platform, Labguru's customer support has consistently provided prompt and reliable service. They've proven to be a reliable partner, not just a service provider.

The automation capabilities in Labguru are a game-changer. Automating routine tasks has saved us a considerable amount of time and reduced the chance of human error. It also allows our team to focus more on complex tasks that require human intellect, making our operations more efficient and our work more gratifying. Lately, we felt the need to add some workflow automation. Labguru offers a handful of automation options in their catalog and they helped us implement the automation we wanted.
