"Sample Manager LIMS is a all-in-one solution for your lab informatics needs"
What do you like best about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

The real benefit of using Sample Manager lies in its capability of dealing with the customizations. User-friendly forms and interfaces are meaningful. Apart from this, time to time release of Service packs and upgrade versions makes it very competitive to prefer Sample Manager over other COTS LIMS products. The development of Sample Manager keeping legacy version back compatibility is also a unique way to retain the existing customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

The little downside would be it's boring look. Although, different skins are provided; there should be more research on making it more user-friendly and interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SampleManager LIMS is very useful for managing our laboratory activities"
What do you like best about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

By using SampleManager, we can avoid potential human error through the instrument integration. Also we can keep the traceability of the data through audit function Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

Very confusing at the beginning. We need some time to understand how functions are correlated each other. There are some efforts needed to translate what we usually do in daily activities into configuration in SampleManager Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Experienced SampleManager User"
What do you like best about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

There are many core competencies for SampleManager most of which are its openness in that you have full access to the source whether it was based on VGL and the Customizations module on which you can put your flavour of forms and report.

I like the way it is designed that we can easily modify the structure and having this change reflected on entity definition.

I like their customizable mobile app, their web client which is not compiled web pages but reflection of the Windows based menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

The frequently changed tools such as label designer that started as VGL, then combit and now it's Devexpress, but the system support combinations of all.

SampleManager shifted from old VGL which is visual c to c# dll assemblies but I notice that most inquiry raised to support team cannot be answered if it's not on documentation, or to be forwarded to Development team and this take long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Issue Investigation and starting off an upgrade project"
What do you like best about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

Ease of use, support for external standards, we have an internal standard based on iso17025, LIMS has helped to adhere to this. The level of customisation is good, and workflows have proved to be very useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

Some features takes a bit of familiarisation to use. Once used to using them, they're simple but a lot of them take some training out to some less PC literate operators Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customize it to your needs"
What do you like best about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

SampleManager is easily configured to your needs and with workflows works wonderfully. I would have to say the best thing about SampleManager is their support staff. Every time I have needed to contact their support department I have been amazed by both the knowledge as well as the professionalism expressed by this staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS Software?

If I were to have to say one thing that I dislike about SampleManager it would have to be the fact the software has tow basic programing languages VGL (Similar to Basic) and C#. As someone with limited programming knowledge, it was a bit of a hurdle to get over. Thermo does, however, offer training classes that I highly recommend that will accelerate this learning curve.
