What do you like best about LabWare LIMS?

The customization that is built into labware platform is amazing. The system is robust and versatile. The team support that labware provides are on point and can fit your needs so that you have a functional system.

Once you create a visual workflow, its very easy to install since it cloud based and very easy to use and navigate. Training operators and techs is no issue once its configured properly.

The system is frequently used in operations and QC for compiling daily testing and monitoring of the process. Integrating with scanners and tablets makes is very convenient.

It is highly customizable and can do just about anything you want. We are learning more about folders and I wish the training covered them better as they are super useful/powerful. Labware consultants have been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LabWare LIMS?

My only real complaint is that I feel it could be simpler. There are settings such as facility and plant that we don't need that still have to be configured. The process template that was brought it also had a previous set-up in it so there were/are a ton of analysis/subroutines/etc present that are not needed. It make it more confusing in trying to see what does what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LabWare LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Labware is solving our problem of replacing a system that was extremely outdated and not designed for a large scale corporation. labware is global and can be configured to be an enterprise based system. Labware is our primary LIMS system for the corporation and will be networked throughout the company to centralized as one standard electronic software for collecting and analyzing QC data.

What do you like best about LabWare LIMS?

LabWare LIMS is the industry standard for LIMS Systems that provides a comprehensive and customizable platform with world class product support. The latest generations of the LabWare LIMS platform offer pre-designed templates so the LIMS System can be deployed out of the box with only minimal configuration needed to get up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LabWare LIMS?

Since LabWare LIMS can be incredibly customized and specifically designed, it can be challenging when it comes time to upgrade to a new version. It is advantageous to minimize customization when at all possible to prevent pitfalls when upgrading in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LabWare LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The general goal of being paperless can only be achieved with robust comprehensive systems such as LabWare LIMS. Utilizing the functionality of ELN and LIMS combined not only streamlines the lab operations, but takes us to the ultimate goal of being a paperless operation.

What do you like best about LabWare LIMS?

Database structure, ease in creating subroutines, template solutions, ELN, and storage location manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LabWare LIMS?

LabWare support is not always the most helpful in responding to queries, especially when it comes to bugs in LIMS Basic functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LabWare LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

With ELNs we're able to start moving complex laboratory worksheets from Crystal Report to user-readable excel formulas that they can audit. Tracking standards in SRIM is also immensely helpful for tracks that are required to track the result trends of standards and controls over time. Storage Location Manager is helpful for several of our labs with too many samples in long-term storage and the need to store all that data in a structured, queriable environment.

What do you like best about LabWare LIMS?

It is highly customizable, and most of the components are modular and can be added on or removed as needed. The internal change management system is also excellent and even promotes database changes. The system can run on most any database and offers multi-language support, even for custom fields or tables added after the fact. The ELN (electronic lab notebook) is incredibly powerful and has the ability to replace nearly all outside spreadsheets that may be floating around the lab. It also has excellent audit tracking and traceability tools which are customizable and adaptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LabWare LIMS?

Interfaces are not cohesive and differ from module to module, and most are not modern looking. It also tries to meet the needs of many industries, meaning almost no industry gets exactly what it wants. It is very customizable because it has to be. This product is less like a full-blown, ready-to-go LIMS system and more of an operating system within which one can design their own LIMS system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LabWare LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collection of data, verification and review of data, and data reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
