### Most mentioned pros

- I mostly use SciNote as my digital lab notebook, so I like the features that allow me to represent data as well-plates, tables, and equations.
- I like the ability to organize all my lab's projects in one place, as well as the inventory management system that gives me ordering notifications based on reagent use.

### Most mentioned cons

- Sometimes it is not very flexible for customizing columns of templates or other hard-set services.
- Sometimes, due to its structure its difficult for some members of the team to find what they are looking for and therefore don't use it that much (just ask the other members by mail).

It's been wonderful to have all of our team's data in one place - easily coded/laid out for quick access and sharing. It was tough initially to get all lab members to buy in and make the transition, but I think even they see the value in this new electronic lab notebook now!

#### Reasons for choosing SciNote

The sales rep really sold it to us! He demonstrated a lot of the functionality in person for us and the lab members really enjoyed the user experience and assistance we received from the sales team.

#### Reasons for switching to SciNote

We wanted to streamline our data storage and managment in the lab - there was data stored all over and we wanted to commit to a single location.

### Utility of SciNote for a Medical Device Company

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Elaine H.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Medical Devices
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: June 2021
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

It takes a while to transition over from paper/electronic templates since there are so many ways to use SciNote. However, it is a very useful platform that makes all our work accessible to our team, which has been critical over the pandemic.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The best part of SciNote is how easily it facilitates collaboration. Being able to assign users to different roles and Tasks let's everyone who needs to be involved see the whole picture of what's happening in a Project. Additionally, the audit trail that shows every action is very helpful, especially if you need to see if something "worked" the way you hoped it would.

#### Cons

Other users have probably found very efficient ways to do repetitive work (calibration, inventory management, template usage, etc), but it takes us a while to figure these things out so that it works for us. Being able to see how other users handled this kind of work would help us see how best to implement SciNote across projects and departments.

#### Reasons for choosing SciNote

Some ELNs are overkill for what we need, and the cost structure was better for our company. After trying the free version of SciNote, it seemed like an intuitive platform. While it has taken some time for the admins to figure out how transition everything into an ELN, new users are able to start using SciNote easily and without too much training.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for the review and great feedback! We really appreciate it. If you will have any questions on how to organize your repetitive work feel free to contact our team anytime. Thank you!

I got a new job last April and the new employer uses SciNote

We also recently launched a protocol parser that can help users convert a .docx protocol into these protocol steps in SciNote.

#### Pros

Topics are searchable by key words. Which makes it very much user friendly.

#### Cons

The i-pad version is not fully functional yet.

It was less costly because we were a smaller company at that time. SciNote also offers 2 other types of subscriptions with more capability. So, we had the option to start at a cheaper subscription and then upgrade to other ones if needed.

#### Vendor response

Hello Arpita. Thanks for sharing your experience of using SciNote! I am glad that our flexible plans can grow with your company. The mobile app is currently in beta, but there are plans to significantly improve it this year - so stay tuned!

### Scinote keeps things organized and is easy to use

- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: April 2021

I overall have a positive experience using Scinote, and have recommended the product to a few grad student friends.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I love how easy it is to use Scinote to organize and keep track of my experiments I need to perform while in the lab. It's also very easy to search past experiments to keep track of details through time.

#### Cons

I wish Scinote had an autosave function! There have been a few times where I have forgotten to press "Save" on notes that I was actively taking notes in lab.

#### Reasons for switching to SciNote

Not sure, the switch was made before I joined the team.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for the feedback! It is taken into account. At the moment, autosave works with all Microsoft Office files and on on task notes, protocols, step descriptions, and in result text field. More information is here: https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/en/knowledge/how-do-i-use-the-autosave-function Great feedback! Thank you!

### A much easier lab notebook experience!

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Nathalia C.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: December 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

My overall experience with SciNote has been excellent! I really enjoy using the software for my electronic laboratory notebook!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I like how easy SciNote is to use- the features are simple yet super effective. I use the protocol/template features daily when preparing my notebook pages, and I have different protocols to make preparing my notebook that much quicker! I love how I can add pictures, tables, and checklists so that I can really organize my thoughts and results before, during, and after going into the lab!

#### Cons

I really enjoy using SciNote and have little complaints. The only feature I would like to see is being able to move multiple experiments over to a different folder. For example, I have active and completed projects folders, and it would make organizing my notebook that much easier if I could move a few experiments/"pages" over to the completed projects folder at once.

SciNote has changed the way I organized my research notes. There is a learning curve, and it relies on the user's good habits to function properly.

At Nano1Health we like to be a 0 paper company. Reality sometimes makes that difficult but at least with Scinote we can manage to reduce it a lot. We can access anywhere the data that we need in a matter of seconds, and anyone in the team is able to access samples and codes when required.

#### Cons

Sometimes, due to its structure its difficult for some members of the team to find what they are looking for and therefore don't use it that much (just ask the other members by mail). Sometimes it is not very flexible for customizing columns of templates or other hard-set services. Finally, price. Its per-user licensing makes it expensive, especially for small enterprises, in which everybody needs to have access but the revenue is not very big

#### Vendor response

Hello Joan. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about SciNote! SciNote has a projects/experiments/tasks hierarchy that's different from paper notebooks (or from other online notebooks). There are a few places where filters/searches are available to help team members locate what they need. Do feel free to connect with your CSM Eva to explore these options - we are here to help! Some aspects of SciNote are not as flexible because we designed the product to meet regulatory requirements. While SciNote is priced competitively, we understand that any cost could be challenging for small enterprises - we would love to see how we can help your team get the most out of SciNote. Do let us know how if there is anything we can do to support this. Thank you again for choosing SciNote!

I like that overall, it is easy to access experiments and link protocols. I also like the Reports feature, especially that you are able to save them for access at a later time. The progress features are also helpful, in that it allows efficient communication about the status of a particular task or tasks.

#### Cons

I find that Tables tend to be difficult to work with and also the lack of user-friendly calendar integration frustrating. For example, being able to easily add tasks to Google Calendar based on their due dates and end dates.

#### Vendor response

You can keep your notes in an organized format. Share information with your team through it. It does not get lost. Much easier to find your notes later on, instead of getting through paper notebooks. I think it is 100% necessary, if you are working on multiple projects.

#### Cons

Changing between folders is time consuming. However, SciNote sacrificed some speed to make it look more organized in my opinion. Also, copying a set of experiment steps from project to another is problematic as it is not always easy to find the target destination folder in the drop-down menu.
