"Sci-Note is a very helpful tool utilized by my company for organizing information."
4/5
What do you like best about SciNote?

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.

What do you dislike about SciNote?

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.

"Great online lab notebook software"
5/5
What do you like best about SciNote?

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.

What do you dislike about SciNote?

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

"Good for tracking and sharing experiments"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SciNote?

SciNote is very easy to use for creating experimental workflows. The interface is intuitive, and setting up steps and tasks feels natural, even for beginners. It really helps streamline planning and documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SciNote?

It’s not possible to easily monitor the progress of experiments in real time, which can slow things down, in particular for shared taks. Also, it lacks integration with genomic analysis tools, which limits its use for certain types of research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organized software that allows for tracking of experiments and meets GMP standards"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SciNote?

This software does a good job integrating with Microsoft products to allow for different documents and tasks. If used properly, it can improve efficiency for completing tasks, make communication easier, and provide an organized means of tracing work performed and gathering signatures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SciNote?

The names for the levels of organization are not intuitive. However, the support team is very responsive and the website that provides training and information is very useful. One other challenge is that a document can be opened simultaneously by multiple people in a Microsoft app but does not merge the changes of both users. Unlike Google Docs or SharePoint where you can see the other users changes as you work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Laboratory use of Scinote"
4/5
What do you like best about SciNote?

Keep documentation in one location for multiple clients and multiple clients. Replaces laboratory notebooks, which eliminates poor handwriting. I like that you can upload files within a task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SciNote?

The report exports do not look professional. Additionally, the latest updates to the table re-arranged the formatting of tables previously generated in SciNote making them unclear and causing them to stretch over multiple pages when printing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Online Lab Book for Collaboration"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SciNote?

It is easy to collaborate with others in the lab, easy to find protocols. New features coming out often. Good for keeping stock and general lab business, including meeting notes and rotas Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SciNote?

It isn't intuitive as a system - for example, it took a lot of time to figure out how to organize experiments etc and it doesn't feel like the most natural way to do it. However, once you get used to it then its ok. It also doesn't always support every file type which makes it a bit harder to store raw data but maybe future updates will help with this.

"Helps organize our workflow and data, but..."
2.5/5
What do you like best about SciNote?

It has a good customizable user interface that you can use to set up a workflow that works for you and automates some tasks. There is a learning curve, but It's not terribly difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SciNote?

You may be able to achieve the same levels of automation with excel and a bit of technical skill.

Also, I do not like how the add-ons are bundled together in large expensive packages. It would be helpful to be able to select specific add-ons and features without upgrading the entire plan and being forced to pay for unneeded features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to learn, easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about SciNote?

It is an intuitive userface that makes it easy to use. It doesn't have overcomplicated to make a lab notebok entry so it wasn't difficult to introduce this system to my teams. It's also affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SciNote?

It would be great to have a detailed and straighfoward way to document our cold storage, but I have yet to find any electronic lab notebook service that has what I am looking for, so this it less of a dislike of SciNote and more of a "it'd be cool if they had it", but my team doesn't need one at this time.

"SciNote in R&D"
4/5
What do you like best about SciNote?

The SciNote electronic labjournal is a great way to create and adapt protocols and easily apply them for day to day usages in laboratory practices. SciNote is also incredibly helpful to assign consumables and samples to specific tasks and experiments, all having an individual inventory number. These can easily be assigned to any project, creating a great overview of materials used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SciNote?

The biggest downside of SciNote is the co-signing aspect, which is doable but requires external communication to discuss comments and improvements on the protocol and results section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
