"A highly functional and user-friendly LIMS"
5/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

1) Labguru covers all the main features that we use in our organization. These include:

- ELNs with timestamps

- Standardized protocol modules that can be used to build experiments and imported into ELN entries

- Project folders for easy organization of experiments, protocols, literature and other documents related to a project

- An inventory system for chemicals and samples, that allows specific reagents and samples to be linked to experiments

- All of these features can be highly customized

2) Labguru is user-friendly, intuitive and easy to navigate. We have had little need to be in contact with their support team.

3) Labguru is very secure, offering many methods for 2FA.

4) The Labguru team was very transparent regarding features and pricing when we were first introduced to the system. I'm mentioning this since we've been in contact with sales reps for other LIMS in the past that failed to be transparent regarding available/paywalled features.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

I wished that the calendar had more functionality, for instance that it was possible to assign different colors to different experiments for an easier overview of what everyone in the team is currently working on. The ability to pull up a list of assigned daily tasks (based on current ELN entries), or to get reminders about upcoming/overdue tasks, would be another useful calendar feature.

An integration with Quartzy would be highly useful since we use it for ordering chemicals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keeping us organized and consistent!"
5/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Lab Guru is great for keeping our experiments consistent and on track. It is quick and easy to create a new experiment for a new lab member (or myself) using pre-populated customized protocols, which then guide them through the daily tasks of their first experiment. Labguru's flexible format makes it especially easy to customize protocols and experiments to reflect the dynamic workflows of an R&D based lab.

It is also wonderful to have perpetual documetation of what has been done for later analysis, which is available at any time for anyone in the lab, unlike a paper notebook. Its ability to preserve and transfer knowledge for future employees has proven invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

One of the only downisdes of labguru is that it is reliant on the user to document what they actually did, but that is true of most documentation systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Essential Tool for the Laboratory"
5/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

The ease of accessing import information is what I like best. I was able to quickly pull up a media formulation I need from an experiment 5 years ago. I use the platform every day to enter data, track experiments, and review our laboratory inventory. We can track what items have been received and make comments about the ETA's of pending items. If I struggle with any aspect of the platform, I can easily reach an agent through the chat feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

The most challenging aspect of the platform is adjusting to the occassional redesigns of the workspace. It usually requires a few weeks to get accostumed to the new workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Great Electronic Laboratory Notebook and Lab Management Software"
5/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Labguru is fantastic for a wide number of laboratory organizational needs. It is the first place I go each day and is easily one of my most used resources. It is fairly easy to organize, track, and plan different projects, experiments, and protocols on the platform. Additionally, it is also easy to track my reagent useage, key antibody information, and core liturature resources. It was easy to start as a new user, and integrate into normal lab operations.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Some more advanced features are less easy to use and hard to utilize correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Satisfaction with Labguru"
5/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Having everything—including projects, protocols, recipes, and consumables—organized together with direct links to whatever is needed ensures efficiency and accessibility.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

About two years ago, I encountered an issue with organizing my projects and creating folders, which I mentioned to customer service as a suggestion. To my pleasure, I found that it was updated, and the changes I recommended were implemented. I am now completely satisfied with how everything has been arranged.

"Comprehensive and flexible ELN system"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

It allows to effectively organise your stocks, whether they are cells, reagents or rodent specimens. Allocate them to locations (rooms, racks, boxes) and consume reagents in the experiment records helps keep track of what needs ordering. The experiments can be created, organised, moved and even saved as protocol templates which allows flexibility, as it does the option to link resources. To import and export list of any stocks is very easy and fast using the excel templates. As a manager, is very easy to distribute roles and access to the different users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Sometimes the local edit plugin function to edit a document embedded in an experiment doesn't work properly and requires manual editing, which is more time consuming. Overall it requires to spend time learning how to use it, but this is because it's very comprehensive and has many functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
