SciNote - Great Intro to ELN & Inventory Mangement
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.
CONSThe project organization hierarchy requires a bit of a learning curve.

First choice electronic lab notebook!
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!
PROSEasy sharing of data, SOPs and protocols, results, and program management/tracking tools!
CONSA little expensive, doesn't interface well with some of our coded software and data analysis tools.
Reason 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.

The best so far
The feature of having a place where you can have your protocols & just upload them to the experiments is nice. I like how I can share it with my colleagues too
CONSThe formatting isn't the easiest to figure out. I wish there was a way to draw/write into the notebook.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the feedback - we agree, writing and drawing is truly useful. Thank you for sharing the idea! At the moment, mobile devices offer some additional modes of data input. Virtual keyboard on your tablet or smartphone allows you to enter handwritten notes, which are directly converted into a digital format in any text field in SciNote.

Utility of SciNote for a Medical Device Company
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSOther 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.
Reason 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!
