We use SciShield for our organization's safety data management, and the experience has been positive. The platform is user friendly, with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to organize and access important safety data, enhancing our overall compliance. SciShield enables us to conduct lab inspections, training, and manage chemical inventory all in one place. In particular, the ChemTracker and SDS auto-match functionality has streamlined our processes and significantly cut down the time spent manually searching for and attaching SDSs to chemicals — a game changer for our team.

Furthermore, SciShield's customer service is excellent. The support team is responsive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the setup and implementation process and addressing all our questions and requests promptly.

Overall, SciShield has become an integral part of our safety program. It is a reliable tool for anyone looking to modernize their safety data management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While our experience with SciShield has been largely positive, there are some limitations to note.

First, SciShield lacks the ability to customize features. Having the option to tailor the platform to our specific workflows would be invaluable. This flexibility could enhance our overall efficiency.

Additionally, the ChemTracker/SDS auto-match feature, while useful, could benefit from a more comprehensive database. Ensuring that every product in our inventory has an assigned SDS readily available is crucial for maintaining compliance and safety standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user dash board is designed well and allows users to get an overall complaince 'snap-shot' of their lab(s). As an EHS professsional I'm able to get all necessary information, i.e. inspections, training, personnel, chemical inventory, etc. all at my finger tips. SciShield's customer service is awesome. I've submitted questions to their support team and within the same day had the answer and issue resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had to adapt our safety program slightly to better fit the design of SciShield. Some of the intergration from our old system to SciShield took quite a bit of work, but their on-boarding team was very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I don't have to know everything about SciShield, since help is always avaialble. I use SciShield all the time since I work with EHS, but sometimes I get stuck and cannot solve a problem. Every time when I reach out to support, I get the issue resolved right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of issues that we hear from students and staff are about ChemTracker, especially when chemical is not in database or does not have CAS number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Personal Touch - I like the fact that I can contact VPs and even the President of the company when I have a significant or important request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometime the company's ambitions cause them to look to add new functionality, at times to the detriment of product fixes to current functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that the product is ready to use right out of the box. It is difficult to set up these programs no matter what type of research industry you are in. Too have a product like SciShield, that is complete ready to go, really allows you to hit the ground running. I wold not have a chance to have my current program functioning well without it.

Nothing! I really have zero complaints or issues about this product. It has been an immense aid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SciShield is user friendly, intuitive and easy to navigate from section to section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like the flexibilty to create folders specifically for Bio, Rad, Chem, Animal, Insect, , Permits, MTAs, Shipping, etc. Current documentation allows sorting by type or key word. For large labs, seeing page after page of documents is a little overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SciShield has allowed our campus to keep academic and research information on one platform. This alone saves so much time in pulling data for reports and inspections. The magnitude of modules- allows for the use of one platform for the university.

SciShield listens to customer ideas to continuously improve the platform.

Customers always have the newest version of the platform- there is no fee to upgrade to the version of a module or feature within a module.

Each customer gets an implementation expert who is extremely knowledgeable and works with you through implementation and beyond.

Top-notch customer service is always available. Customer support is very responsive, they are there to answer questions and always take suggestions on how to improve the platform or make it more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No mobile app- allowing for ease of access across campus to update information easily.

Integrate a camera that can read chemical labs into ChemTracker to make the reconciliation and adding new chemicals easier for the research groups.

Limited equipment tacking- being able to add more categories related to safety or research integrity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inspection module has made such a huge impact on our Lab Assessment Program. It has allowed us to do more inspections in the same amount of time. It has cut our follow-up process time in half (or less). We now do all inspections on a tablet that allows us to complete the assessments in the field and review their members and hazards in real-time with the PI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We could really use more workability with field work as we are a land grant university and many of our PIs do significant work in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SciShield has been a great one stop shop in integrating all of our research platforms coming together. It allows the labs and PIs to have one place to access all of thei EH&S needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes SciShield is a bit clunky on the controls. There is also some limited flexibility within some moduels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
