It’s intuitive, easy to customize, and great for keeping our protocols, samples, and experiments organized in one place as we scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major - continuous improvements to UI have improved user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to organize the data, document experiments and use protocols accross the R&D teams.

Costumer support is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it locks excel sheets for no reason, seems like a bug.

When trying to perform more complex data management, it doesn't have some features we could use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The electronic lab notebook is straightforward and easy to collaborate with other lab members. It's excellent for data archiving. Our lab uses the various functions on a daily basis.

I especially love the inventory system -- it's ideal for keeping detailed freezer records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The molecular biology interface could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Labguru is very user friendly. Although there are still minor things to be tweaked, I like the appearance of the LIMS as a whole and how easy it is for our internal developers to use API and customise the LIMS to fit our needs. It is great with integration with our other sample collection system. It is very easy to import in samples and link experiment and reagent usage to each sample. All actions are tracked and there is a trail log which is super useful if needed for troubleshooting and also for the purpose of auditing and eventually accreditation of our lab. I like that we can customise to get notifications when reagents are running low and when items have expired in addition to when and what maintenance are due for each equipment.

At the moment it seems that moving items between storage location is not very specific but this is on their list of things to do to make it better. When we have documents to upload for certain equipment, we cannot yet upload them to specific service date that is logged but only uploaded to the main equipment inventory page.

It would be useful to get notifications at a specified time prior to reagent expiring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For years we have look for an inventory management system however due to our unique needs we were not able to find a fit at an acceptable price point. After exploring several options, we found that Labguru offered something that was completely customizable with all the features of much more expensive alternatives. Having the ELN with the LIMS helps us not only track our production but also our screening and assay development. The documentation has made processes such as ISO9001 compliance an after thoughtwith the system also FDA /GLP compiant if needed. Communication within the system is easy allowing our groups to collaborate and stay informed on all processes. Automation has eliminated many manual daily processes keeping us organized, and allowing scientist to do science. Although the automation does require some coding in either Python or Ruby customer support has allowed myself a non-coder to develop much of the automation we need. Customer support has been excellent providing training and help with automation. Support is readily available within Labguru and very responsive answering questions within minutes or at most hours. The system is also not stangnant pushing forward by adding new features without breaking the old ones. From the business side our company still needs an ERP system however our NetSuite system has been easily integrated with Labguru. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One can use the system out of the box but to get the full benefit it does require customization and automation. While the general automation is easy, dashboards are not as easily setup for complicated analysis and a non-coder like myself. They do offer many examples that can be edited for one's needs but visualization is somewhat basic. There is the option to now use widgets but this does require more coding background. Honestly the biggest challenge for us is not using the system but having people adopt the change. Once they do they do find that it does make their lives easier with minimal effort.

Search function could be better.

A better way to see which experiments you need to witness would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-The amount of functions (Inventory, storing, equipment, experimental entries, protocols, SOPs etc.)

-User-friendly

-Good customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-Due to it's complexity, it can take a while for user to get acquainted to the system.

-Copy pasting from Word or Excel is somewhat troublesome.

-Returning to the previous page, for example from an inventory box to the rack within the storage. You can't simply press the return-button as you will come to a page where all boxes are listed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can call it up from anywhere, whether you're in the lab or in the office with mobile divice / laptop / tablet. Where there is reception, there is Labguru. No network is required, "only" internet. They have an excellent costumer support, short response time and always very friendly. If there is a problem, they make me feel that they are really interested to help me and change what is the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If there is an excel attachment in a protocol / experiment, you first have to download it before you can have a look at it. Something like a preview whould be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
