Researcher Biotechnology ### "Opinion Nano1Health" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 December 20, 2023 Overall our experience is good, we will continue to use it in the foreseeable future and probably recommend it to other teams of our section and around it. Pros 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 Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

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! RM Rodrigo M.
