SciNote Reviews & Product Details

SciNote has made our documentation process more efficient, enhanced our ability to collaborate, and supported us in developing our lab automation workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting accustomed to the platform can be a bit challenging initially, particularly for those who are new to it. Certain aspects seem somewhat rigid, and I would appreciate having greater flexibility when it comes to editing or customizing tasks. Additionally, I’ve noticed that working on larger projects can cause the platform to slow down somewhat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to track different projects. Easily organized and can search something that I am looking for quickly. I love that I can refer to other notebooks for reference. I use it daily and can show other researchers easily how to use and manage it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't save my information always. I like that it restores draft but sometimes it doesn't at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about SciNote is its clear project structure—it lets you organize experiments, tasks, and protocols in a logical, easy-to-navigate way. This makes it simple to keep track of data and progress, especially when working on complex or collaborative research. The built-in compliance features are also a big plus for regulated environments.

What I dislike about SciNote is that it can be a bit clunky when working with certain file types, especially Excel—uploads or integrations aren’t always smooth. Also, the interface, while generally user-friendly, can feel a bit slow or unintuitive in more advanced workflows. It’s not a dealbreaker, but there’s definitely room for refinement.

Very responsive support team. Excellent development team. Great customer support reachout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is expensive (although not the most expensive, and the team were supportive with regards to discount options in the early stages), and I work in different labs that use different software solutions. Life would be easier if everyone used SciNote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scinote allows for very detailed organization of projects and experiments. I appreciate the breakdown of broader projects, to experimental goals, to tasks within the experiments. I've found this to be a helpful way to organize my workflow. The search function is also super helpful in finding experiments I need to review. Within each task the ease of putting all the data generated by an experiment simplified our data storage and gave us the ability store a wide variety of data types.

Our work involves chemical drawing structures and SciNote lacks native chemical structure implementation. It requires a separate license. The table function is also a little bit clunky and difficult to resize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scinote is a digital and safe way to record my lab data and protocols. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes is difficult to link different pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The traceability of SciNote, being able to see who's made changes, and when is very useful. Also being able to return to older experiments on a day-to-day basis to pull up details has been vital in the lab when experiments have needed to be repeated with slight tweaks. We use SciNote everyday, and haven't had any issues with implementing it into our schedules, for easy to use documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Formatting is quite difficult at times - particularly when it comes to tables and table editing. Whether it be copy pasting tables from other documents (e.g. Word), or trying to make changes to ones inserted in SciNote, it is very difficult to get a table that not only looks good, but also performs the necessary function of displaying information in a compact manner.

Sci-Note helps my company organize groups of inventories very well. It was very easy to learn to use when starting my job, as I had not used Sci-Note at any previous employers. I use it daily and it makes finding documents very easy as they can be attached in inventories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a way to attach two different documents to an item in the inventory tab. I also wish there was a way to link two items together in different inventory groups so that when you find one there would be a link to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SciNote is a wonderful resource for an online laboratory notebook. Being able to put a checklist for a formula, add comments during the procedure to explain what went right or wrong, attach a PDF of my formula and even upload pictures/other documents makes my SciNote lab notebook even better than my old physical notebook. I love the duplicate feature, where I can just create a new page and slightly modify the procedure (or anything else), but I do not have to retype the entire process. I also love the protocol/template aspect of the software. Using SciNote allows for more time for experimenting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not really have complaints, I love using SciNote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
