I enjoy having access to a system that allows us to design digital workflows that work with our labs. In the past, with much more rigid systems, it was more re-work of laboratory practices to work with a system. Not with this ELN! In addition, utilizing agile workflows, we were able to test and implement individual workflows as well as to test integrations along the way! Couple this with a great team at Sapio - it makes all the difference! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sapio LIMS? Obviously having a more open software leads to the introduction of bugs. This is more of a fact of life, then a downside of this particular ELN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sapio LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you? The ELN is helping us digitize laboratory experiments within the non gxp manfuacturing sciences lab.

We appreciate the feedback also. 7/23/2025 Current UserValidated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: Seller invite BY Brendan Y. Senior Associate Scientist II Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/7/2024 "Customizable LIMS System with Good Customer Support but Poor Documentation" 4/5 What do you like best about Sapio LIMS? Sapio comes with a lot of good to decent apps out of the box that work within our system. What's especially great though is the fact that we can add our own plugins and webhooks that interface with our other information databases and accurately map out our experiments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sapio LIMS? I really dislike the documentation of how Sapio Apps work. Most of the App Setup backend is obtuse and can require either a lot of trial and error or multiple demos to fully grasp, and that's just for 1 user. If we have to train another user then we have to rely on our own documentation or try to refer to the barebones Exemplar End User Documentation. Thankfully, over the last year there has been a concerted and much appreciated effort from Sapio to expand their documentation and simply our ability to ask questions. The Sapio Sciences Support Portal is a great step forward, but still lacks much of the necessary documentation for specific apps. I look forward to more pages written within it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sapio LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you? Sapio is a robust ELN that can contain all of our relevant experiment data, provide comparative searches across the whole database and makes looking up old information much easier than before. Sapio also ensures that experiment data is tracked consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Current UserValidated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: Seller invite MG Michal G. Data Czar Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/7/2024 "Production for 4.5 years" 5/5 What do you like best about Sapio LIMS? Sapio provides a foundation - the platform that guarantees the reliable storage of records. There is a ton of tools they provide on top of that for keeping track of experiments, materials, and data. The tools are inherently customizable so that we get process tracking to match our specialized workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sapio LIMS? Sapio documentation does not provide best practices for the use of their tools. In fact we have to try and test things to figure out what practices to adopt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sapio LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you? The ELN features enable keeping records of experiments. The LIMS and SDMS store our sample, reagents, and data which we then use to refine our ML models and analyze experimental results. We also use the collected records to generate reports.

The web-based access allows access from any instrument in the lab. This is great for rapidly uploading data at the point of creation into the database. The fundamental ability of the system to represent complex biological workflows is the single most important and attractive feature of this system. Combined with the ability to tune it to our specific needs, this makes data tracking for large numbers of entities very easy in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sapio LIMS? Building views and generating reports is a little too dependent on the support from the team. While we appreciate the rapid turnaround and fantastic product support, features that allow us to glean data as is from the system would be nice to have in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sapio LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you? Exemplar is agnostic to the numbers of data elements that move through the workflows, which means it lends itself to high-throughput implementation from the get-go. This is critical to our workflow in the biologics space and we are able to provide the discovery process with an informatics backbone like no other. In addition to the speed, this system allows for easy data parsing and analysis, which allows us to examine our process and trends like never before. Most of our workflows are request-driven, so to have timeline data associated with a variety of requests empowers us to address age-old inefficiencies and even new challenges as the science evolves.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/13/2023 "Sapio: The All in One Platform; Jack of All Trades" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Sapio LIMS? Sapio is one of the most customizable platforms I have ever had the opportunity to use! Our current use is pushing the platform's capabilities to its limits, and it is succeeding at delivering our ELN needs. My experience using this platform is pretty positive thus far. However, there is a steep learning curve when it comes to learning the fundamentals and the features available for a particular solution. That being said, customizing how your data is stored, related, and found is extremely useful. Finding data is very easy once you understand the search functionality. I would recommend this platform to anyone who needs high customizability when it comes to an ELN solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sapio LIMS? The biggest issue I have with Sapio is the lack of training documentation. It took me nearly three months of constant trial and error before the system started making sense to me. What elevated my understanding of the platform was being directed during support calls and tickets. If you are considering Sapio as your ELN of choice I would make sure to have ample time to learn the platform and what features will be available to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sapio LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you? The biggest problem that Sapio solves for us is its ability to search for data easily and in a centralized location. This has made it so easy for me and my team to search for particular samples without having to sift through pages and pages of spreadsheets or have to write complex queries to find what we need.
