"User friendly, great way to collaborate and keep track of lab work"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Benchling?

Benchling is constantly improving to cater to our labs needs, is user friendly, and easy to collaborate. It is catered exactly to what we need to use to make keeping track of data easy and integrated into our systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The folder organization is inconvenient (the way the notebook and inventory are organized), but that is due in part to the way our lab set up the projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
