Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/12/2023 "Needed a Configurable Robust LIMS Software for Industrial Oil Analysis Growth" 5/5 What do you like best about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software? Well, I am the Lab Supervisor and we needed something that would help grow with us, for now and in the future. That is what we have gotten with SampleManager. We are a special type of lab, where we are a contract lab that performs testing on in-service lubricants; basically, we have a lot of clients and a lot of different pieces of equipment to perform testing on, so when we were vetting potential LIMS Softwares, SampleManager stood out and has definitely not disappointed. We have increased turnaround time by speeding up the logging and reporting process. That has been the biggest win for us so far! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software? I wish I had something to say here, but we are still early in the usage timeframe, so I do not have anything I dislike so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software solving and how is that benefiting you? Our time spent in our old database logging samples, entering data, and finally reporting the data to the client was taking way too long. We were using an Access Database with no growth and use potential and we were dumping tons of data into it, which was slowing things considerably. Also, ease of use was not the best.
