"LabVantage is good but not great"

April 6, 2019

❌ What’s Not Great

“The lack of organizational options. Also more search option would be nice as well. Many times I try to find certain historical samples based on criteria that you cannot search for. The most common is a method when the product code is not available. If there were custom search criteria that businesses could utilize would make LabVantage even better for ease of use and quickness.”

✅ Positive Notes

“The ease of use is definitely the best part as it requires little to no explanation on how to enter data and such. Also it is great that it shows the progress of tests.”

Editor Review

LabVantage LIMS demonstrates clear strengths in its flexible instrument integration and customizable workflow modules, making it appealing for labs that require a broad range of functionalities. However, the platform is noticeably hampered by its complex reporting structure, particularly the use of BusinessObjects for report customization, which many reviewers flagged as cumbersome and time-consuming. Additionally, the system’s usability issues extend to its mobile browser experience and an often frustrating upgrade path, both of which could impede day-to-day operations and broader deployment. While the user interface is generally praised and customer support is seen as responsive and engaged, recurring concerns about integration difficulties and performance glitches indicate that LabVantage may demand significant IT resources and dedicated support for optimal use. For lab managers assessing LIMS solutions, the platform offers advanced capabilities but may fall short for those prioritizing intuitive, streamlined, and agile reporting and mobile experiences.
