    I love the integration of an electronic lab notebook with a suite of tools for molecular cloning. As a molecular biologist, I use benchling constantly and it has made me a better scientist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Setting up new entity schemas and templates for users is super fast, thanks largely to the easy to use interface, and the great selection of built-in entities to choose from (dropdowns, dates, Sequence data etc). This allows us to very quickly set up new classes of data, and new types of document. The flexibility this comes with allows us to store a great variety of data within benchling, so we can have everything organized in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    I have worked for many companies and they all use benchling, the best part is Benchling's versatility (i.e. designing plasmids, ELNs, SOPs) and its ease of use - it is very to use and learn it. It also helps that it is a website and not an app and can be accessed anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    More resources should be funneled into the cell culture side of their software, working directly with people in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    We currently use Benchling within one of our departments that uses automated lab instrumentation and needed a data solution that would integrate with the lab instrumentation. We have used Benchling as a way to move the data off the instruments as well as storing data through user entry through electronic lab notebooks. The general business problem that Benchling helped us solve was providing an electronic and automated way of processing large volumes of data in a structured and searchable way.
    Excellent easy to use and beautiful UI Great customer support and training Has no code ways of retrieving and depositing data
