"AQua user from Yusen Logistics"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Scilife?

I love how simple the system is to use. The help function is good to help you use the system if you are unsure. It also is brilliant for automating document control with the version control and ensuring everything is in one place. Communication from Sciflie is brilliant also Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilife?

Have been waiting for the KPI functionality to be fit for purpose for Yusen for over a year. Sometimes changes take a lot longer to implement. and sometimes requires chasers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scilife: modern, intuitive, and easy-to-use design with configurable language"

5/5

What do you like best about Scilife?

What I like most about Scilife is the design of the platform, as it is modern, intuitive, and easy to use. I also greatly value the ability to configure the language according to each user's preferences.

The navigation is very user-friendly and easy to understand, which makes it accessible for any type of person, even for those who do not have much experience with this type of platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilife?

One aspect that I believe could be improved in Scilife is the downloading of large files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Because spreadsheets are not a quality strategy"

5/5

What do you like best about Scilife?

A lot of growing life sciences companies delay implementing an eQMS because they assume it will be expensive, painfully complex, and designed only for big pharma. Scilife is one of the few platforms that genuinely breaks that perception.

What impressed us is how accessible and scalable the system feels for smaller and mid-sized biotech teams that need structure and inspection readiness without a massive enterprise burden. The implementation is pragmatic, the user adoption is far easier than expected, and the platform avoids the heavy, overly engineered feel that many larger systems create.

In practice, we’ve found it gives companies a far more realistic route into digital quality management than platforms like Veeva, particularly for organisations still building operational maturity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilife?

Some very large enterprise companies may want deeper customisation in certain areas. But honestly, for growing biotech/medtech and medium sized pharma teams, the fact Scilife is less heavy and easier to implement than platforms like Veeva is part of the appeal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scilife solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scilife helps solve a problem we see constantly with growing biotech companies: QA processes living across spreadsheets, emails, word docs, and people’s heads. Most companies know they need an eQMS eventually, but many assume it will be too expensive, too complex, or too disruptive to implement early on.

What we like about Scilife is that it gives companies a much more practical way to become organised and inspection-ready without creating huge operational overhead. From a RiverArk perspective, it also makes ongoing QA oversight, CAPAs, training, and document control far easier to manage as companies scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5

What do you like best about Scilife?

The onboarding process was found very good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilife?

I have had some troubles with the maintenance tasks of the equipment module Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Document Retrieval and Workflow"

4/5

What do you like best about Scilife?

It is easy to retrieve documents and classify them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilife?

It would be good to have the possibility to import all kind of historical documents, e.g., CAPA already closed and imported as such, instead of using the CAPA module only after implementing the eQMS. The training sections should allow for the possibility to have custom questionnaires - we have a specific template and procedure on how to build the questionnaire and assign scores to the questions, also depending on the criticality of the person involved, and it is not possible to implement it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Trine Michelsen of Scilife

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're especially happy to hear you found it easy to retrieve and classify documents.

We'd love to clarify a couple of points that might be helpful. It is actually possible to import closed CAPAs, either into the CAPA tools or as documents, depending on your needs. Regarding Training, it is also possible to assign different scores to questionnaire questions, so it sounds like there may be functionality that hasn't been fully explored yet.

"User-Friendly QMS with Compliance Improvements Needed"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Scilife?

I find Scilife to be user-friendly. I also appreciate the sophisticated validation done on the system, especially its compliance with GXP and 21 CFR part 11. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilife?

The compliance with GXP and 21 CFR part 11 needs improvement. It should have pre-validated package release versions for each version, enhancing customer confidence and trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Trine Michelsen of Scilife

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback Shaik! We're very happy to hear that you find Scilife user friendly and that it has helped solve your quality management challenges in the pharma and biotech space.

We'd just like to clarify one point that might be helpful. Scilife does provide a pre-validated package with every release to support GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. If you feel there's something missing or you'd like to discuss your specific validation requirements, we'd be happy to help. Since G2 reviews are anonymous, please reach out through your usual Customer Success channels if you're a customer, or contact us at info@scilife.io. We'd love to hear from you.
