It ties all aspects of the lab together. > > **Cons**: It can be time consuming to capture data and link different fields. > > I enjoy working with CloudLims. It is a comprehensive lab LIMS system and it is the backbone of our lab operations on a day to day basis. ----- ### "High featured, low cost LIMS with useful web based interface" — 4.0/5 > **Claire** | *28 May 2026* | Research | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: CloudLIMS is a low cost, high featured web based Lab management system that has made managing the freezers and fridges in my lab much easier. It is remarkably comprehensive, and allows easy crosslinking of samples and subjects, with the location of samples very quick and simple. I also like that because it is web based, I can access it from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. I like that you can download the data in Excel or text format for downstream processing such as plate layout planning. > > **Cons**: If my internet connection is slow, the complex web pages can take longer to load. The learning curve was a little steep for some users. > > It has served my needs with the features that you would find in a more expensive LIMS system but at a lower cost, and its web-based approach makes it very easy to manage. As an administrator, this is a valuable asset. Overall, I have been very pleased with it and would recommend it to others. ----- ### "Exceptional LIMS for the Cannabis Industry" — 5.0/5 > **Cesar** | *08 January 2026* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hello, my name is Cesar Marquez and I direct LTL, an analytical lab situated in Rhode Island and specialized in cannabis products. Here we perform analytical tests concerning potency, pesticides, heavy metals, to name a few, and we do so within a highly regulated environment. We use CloudLIMS as management system. Having evaluated the options available on the market, CloudLIMS was the only system capable of responding to our expectations. From the moment a group of samples arrives at the lab until they are disposed of, CloudLIMS registers all steps performed and the results obtained, maintaining an updated chain of custody. It is easy to use on daily basis, with a set of default values implemented for repetitive actions. This is something that our administration and scientists appreciate. CloudLIMS facilitates the uploading of sample information directly from METRC’s Transport Manifest (METRC is the Management System chosen by Rhode Island’s DBR to overview the industry), or you can upload it from the Chain of Custody form. It also performs all required calculations for the different tests; it imports the results from different machines and formats in an agile manner, and through the pertinent algorithms, it prepares in a supervised manner, the Certificates of Analysis. Finally, the results are also communicated directly to METRC and QuickBooks, this last one for billing. CloudLIMS also has a very compelling client portal. There, our customers can not only order new pickups in a comfortable way but can also follow the analysis of samples in real time and download CoAs and QRs on demand. The client’s portal is intuitive, so new clients learn to use it almost effortlessly. Finally, CloudLIMS allows a full control of logbooks, inventory, clients and maintenance of instrumental. But in my opinion, the most important feature of CloudLIMS is their team’s professionalism, specifically their dedication and commitment. There is a dedicated team for us, and its response to any technical challenge is almost immediate, commonly in less than 24h. Any update or upgrade is implemented on demand; their team is always ready and willing to accommodate our needs. With all this in mind, I believe CloudLIMS is an incredible LIMS and I proudly recommend it. Thank you\! > > **Cons**: We have encounter no real issues with CloudLIMS. It took a while to set it up, but once done with the help of their amazing team its use is seamless. > > Fantastic. Great product, competitive in price and top quality custom service. We evaluated several LIMS before choosing it and we do not regret it. As said, fantastic. ----- ### "Good customer service." — 3.0/5 > **Isa** | *09 February 2026* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer service is very good, the CloudLIMS staff is eager to help and quick to reply. The user interface is simple and provides safety for the user to avoid mistakes. > > **Cons**: It has a lot of options for customization, but it often has to be done by the CloudLIMS staff themselves, which slows down the implementation. > > There is a learning curve to CloudLIMS, but when you get comfortable with the program, it serves its purpose well. ----- ### "Cloud Based LIMS for Biobanking" — 5.0/5 > **Bo** | *28 August 2025* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are a commercial biobank founded in 2010 in Waltham, Massachusetts, follows a decentralized model by collecting biospecimens directly from patients in their homes. As our operations grew, spreadsheets and disconnected tools were no longer sufficient, leading us to implement CloudLIMS in 2022 after a thorough evaluation. While there was a learning curve, the CloudLIMS team provided excellent guidance and customized the system to our needs at no additional cost. We now manage over 100,000 sample units with ease, benefit from fast and intuitive storage visualization, and have greatly improved reporting, search, and data export capabilities. CloudLIMS has streamlined our workflows, reduced errors, and become integral to our daily operations—we highly recommend it to any biobank seeking a comprehensive and flexible LIMS solution supported by a knowledgeable team. > > **Cons**: Like any systems there is a learning curve. However the CloudLIMS team gave us tutorials and detailed documentation on how the system works and the flexibility of the system. > > Great, CloudLIMS has also transformed our data management capabilities. We can now generate custom reports, seamlessly export data to Excel, and view search results with more than 5,000 records—features not previously available to us. Importantly, system configuration, troubleshooting, and enhancements were provided at no additional cost, reflecting CloudLIMS’ strong commitment to customer success. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/131317/cloudlims?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/131317/cloudlims) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | ja | | | nb | | | pl | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
