Pluto makes it easy for me to organize my data and run bioinformatics analyses, without having to code. Pluto also lets me create good representative figures on my own. It like that all my data can be saved at the same place and gives me the flexibility to create more plots and interpretations as I analyze. I also like that they have a responsive chat feature that respond to my queries quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pluto Bio? It would help to run more types of statistical analyses on Pluto. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pluto Bio solving and how is that benefiting you? Pluto lets me upload bulk RNA sequencing data and generate DEG profiles that I would otherwise have to do on R or Matlab. It allows me to not have to code. I also like that you can run GEne set enrichment analysis on the Pluto platform which helps make sense of your data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team having little knowledge on how to analyze transcriptome data using complex programming languages (R, Python). Pluto makes it easy for any of us to look at our own data and make barplots, volcano plots, etc. I frequently come back and create new figures/comparitive analysis on my data sets later on when I need a new plot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pluto Bio? I would like to see even more analysis types to choose from in Pluto. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pluto Bio solving and how is that benefiting you? I can upload raw RNA-seq data and analyze it to generate the figures I need for my lab meeting presentations and publications. Pluto's scientists are responsive when helping with biological interpretation or other questions and have provided multiple training sessions with our teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am an experienced bioinformatics researcher that has personally tried numerous analysis and visualization platforms across several -omics types. A huge advantage of this platform is that it is fully end to end. I haven’t encountered another platform that can process large sequencing files, perform quality control, and generate interpretable and publication-quality analysis. I have shared data through this platform (which is quite easy) to investigators with limited bioinformatics experience. Despite that shortcoming, the platform is so intuitive that they are easily capable of understanding the analysis to that point and are quickly capable of generating new analyses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pluto Bio? Researchers always want more features and analysis so I would just like to see continued growth. I’ve used this platform for over a year and I have been impressed with the continued growth and development. New experiments and analyses are frequently added, keeping this platform up to date with what is needed for bioinformatics analysis but continued development will be needed. Extensive quality control is performed. However, because so much information is generated, it can be difficult to quickly know if there are issues with the data. QC notifications could be one area for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pluto Bio solving and how is that benefiting you? A major problem with the field of bioinformatics and related analysis is that it is very complex and can be difficult to learn. Pluto seems to be all about empowerment. They have developed an intuitive and accurate platform that brings bioinformatics analysis to anyone’s fingertips. An additional problem that is solved is related to the difficulty of setting up powerful computing infrastructure with the tools to perform bioinformatics. Pluto’s cloud infrastructure eases both issues and consistently processes large files quickly with trusted software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/7/2023 "Bulk RNA seq analysis and figures in Pluto" 5/5 What do you like best about Pluto Bio? The most helpful part of Pluto is the methods section that comes with each figure. It was so easy to write the manuscript when every figure has exactly what was done to make it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pluto Bio? There really was not anything I disliked, the only thing I would like to see is more options to display data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pluto Bio solving and how is that benefiting you? Our group has had only a little experience with bioinformatics although Pluto explains everything extremely well and allows us to fully understand the processes used. Pluto also makes the analysis part much easier with guides throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pluto makes running the more mundane processing parts of NGS analysis easy with very little hands on time from the user. As someone who is a bioinformatician, I do not enjoy running the basic parts of informatics analyses (such as QC and generation of counts matrices), and Pluto allows me to spend a couple minutes uploading the data so I can focus on the more intricate parts of downstream analysis analyses and on software development. They provide very thorough and comprehensive QC metrics, so that if I need to modify or rerun the pipeline, I can easily do that by making a copy of the experiment, changing a couple of parameters, and re-running based on the QC issues I see. I can seriously do this in under 5 minutes of my time. I also think the ability to import GEO studies from fastq through analysis is very powerful and saves me a lot of time trying to download fastqs and dealing with internet bandwidth issues from SRA and re-analyze them to be concordant with the pipelines and parameters I want to use; the platform makes running reproducible analysis much more steamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pluto Bio? I would like to see either more tutorials/docs/video, of how to interpret different portions of the multiqc report and example of when I should be concerned about the QC. Additionally, more experiment types would be great -- some type of streamlined variant calling pipeline (particularly for cancer studies) or scRNA-seq analsis would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pluto Bio solving and how is that benefiting you? Pluto is solving my time management problem in that I can spend more time developing software or code for new analyses types instead of spending my time managing pipelines.

It's a wet-lab scientist-friendly platform that reduces steps toward the actual analysis! And staff from pluto are available and pretty responsive for troubleshoot whenever needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pluto Bio? More webinars would be appreciated considering the diverse aspects you can explore on the platform. And if it can reflect single cell technology which becomes one of the standard, it would be awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pluto Bio solving and how is that benefiting you? It is well-guided from raw data upload to final figure generation. Also good to organize dataset especially when you have multiple assays done for one project. And pluto's scientists are keep us posted and updating features that we'd ask for!
