"Great experience and value with the Labguru ELN LIMS"

4/5

What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Labguru ELN is well-organized into various tabs and subsections, such as the E-Notebook tab being conveniently categorized into project, experiment, protocol, and SOP subsections. In addition, the LIMS part of the software is very easy to use as we were able to map out all the different storage locations in the lab and populate them with inventory items. It also sends us an alert every time an item is below its desired stock level which lets us know we need to order more. Lastly, the customer support has been fast and efficient in any type of problem or question we have had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

When adding additional sections to an experiment, the user is able to add a section in between existing sections but not below the existing sections. The "add section" button does not appear below the last section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable, Feature-Rich Platform for Daily Lab Work"

5/5

What do you like best about Labguru ELN LIMS?

Labguru is intuitive and easy to use, even for new team members. Setting it up was straightforward. Customer support has been responsive and helpful. We use it daily to manage experiments, inventory, and protocols—all in one place. Its many features and integration options help us keep everything organised and compliant without extra effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

We use the basic Labguru package, and while it's a solid platform, there are some limitations regarding advanced analytical tools and AI assistance. Working with imported tables and performing more in-depth data analysis can feel restricted. Generating detailed research reports and having direct integration with scientific databases for literature, references, or citation suggestions would significantly enhance the experience. A feature that links our experimental data to relevant papers—or even recommends literature based on our projects—would be incredibly valuable. However, many of these capabilities are available in the more advanced plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Labguru ELN LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Labguru helps us centralize all our research data, protocols, and inventory in one secure, searchable system. It solves the problem of fragmented data and manual documentation by offering structured templates, version control, and traceability. This improves our lab’s efficiency, ensures regulatory compliance, and makes collaboration between team members much smoother. As an administrator, I especially appreciate the control over user permissions and how easy it is to onboard new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Researcher"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Labguru ELN LIMS?

One thing that i dislike about Labguru is have to using the authenticator for logging in. it can be a bit of a hassle sometime, especially if im in the lab with gloves and i have to reach for my phone just to log in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Labguru ELN LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Labguru makes it easier for us to document experiments, keep track of our samples and connect everything, it makes it easier to "jump" for one experiment to another, according to the project, or the samples being used. using one system makes it easier for us to share data with the team and make conclusions faster.

"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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What problems is Labguru ELN LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Labguru ELN LIMS is solving the problem of paper lab notebooks. One huge benefit is being able to search for past experiments and protocols. There is a significant time savings when we are trying to locate older data when it is on Labguru ELN. Another benefit is streamlined communication about experimental protocols between team members. We can easily collaborate by all using Labguru 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.

What problems is Labguru ELN LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a group of scientists working on the same projects but different experimental aspects. We needed an easy system to keep track of all the experiments so everyone has easy access to data from other experiments to get an overview of the entire project. Additionally, Labguru can produce polished documentation of studies which is currently a major advantage in our company setting. 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.
