"This is an excellent one for data analysis"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Genomics?

This is a platform that I have little time to use and, therefore, I do not have as much knowledge, but it has been good and useful. I like the ease with which you have to analyze the data quickly and effectively, it is also effective and is a tool where you really pay for what you need to use and this makes the payment a bit lower Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Genomics?

I think that I like the interface and everything that is related to the software, I have found it quite useful within the organization to me and many colleagues, but well if it has a disadvantage is usually its cost, in my opinion is somewhat high, well It is known that it has a free version which is a test but after it ends and the payment comes this is usually a bit high and is a disadvantage since sometimes you see in the obligation not to use the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
