Pros and Cons Values
"Perfect Laboratory System"
❌ What’s Not Great
“As per my opinion nothing to discuss on dislike about LabWare LIMS.”
✅ Positive Notes
“It Analysis and method Analysis and IT configuration page.”
"Well designed training for a complex LIMS system"
❌ What’s Not Great
“Since LabWare is so complicated, if one does not have the proper training and understanding of the system prior to use, the user will be lost while trying to use and understand the system.”
✅ Positive Notes
“LabWare is a well-designed complex system that uses many functions to help the users design a system right for them. There are many add-on features that can be used to help users create a better system for their company.”
"LabWare LIMS Adim 2"
❌ What’s Not Great
“I would have liked more time using the software. Having access to the software.”
✅ Positive Notes
“I love the interaction. We could watch the trainer do something and then do it ourselves. For me, I learn better if I see an example done, then I can do it.”
"Installation services with a focus on exceptional quality, unbeatable reliability,and customization."
❌ What’s Not Great
“The UI may be occasionally unclear, especially in terms of certain nomenclature, which could cause confusion for users.”
✅ Positive Notes
“The process of sample logging-in and data publication is made effortless with this system. Data entry is intuitive and user-friendly, while the system automatically verifies against internal and external limits, reducing the risk of human error. This immediate validation helps ensure accurate and reliable data publication, enhancing the overall integrity of the laboratory processes.”
"Powerful, modular, customizable, highly adaptable, but needs lots of setup"
❌ What’s Not Great
“Interfaces are not cohesive and differ from module to module, and most are not modern looking. It also tries to meet the needs of many industries, meaning almost no industry gets exactly what it wants. This product is less like a full-blown, ready-to-go LIMS system and more of an operating system within which one can design their own LIMS system.”
✅ Positive Notes
“It is highly customizable, and most of the components are modular and can be added on or removed as needed. The internal change management system is also excellent and even promotes database changes. The system can run on most any database and offers multi-language support, even for custom fields or tables added after the fact. The ELN is incredibly powerful and has the ability to replace nearly all outside spreadsheets that may be floating around the lab. It also has excellent audit tracking and traceability tools which are customizable and adaptable.”

Editor Review
LabWare LIMS stands out for its high degree of customization and flexible adaptability, qualities that many lab professionals find essential for managing complex workflows and ensuring data integrity. Users consistently praise the system’s ability to tailor processes with predefined templates and modular add-ons, making it a versatile solution for diverse lab operations. However, these strengths come with notable challenges. Multiple reviews highlight a steep learning curve and a user interface that can range from outdated to overly complex, particularly for novice users. Integration with external instrument software and dependencies on specific operating systems further complicate deployment. Although customer support is frequently commended for responsiveness and robust training, the inherent intricacies of configuration and reporting can result in time-consuming setups and unexpected hurdles during upgrades. Overall, while LabWare LIMS offers powerful functionality and industry-standard reliability, labs with limited IT resources may face difficulties in reaping its full potential without significant customization and training investments
