There are quite a good number of published write-ups providing tips on how to select a good . However, most of these articles are biased, problematic, and not quite resourceful because:

i. The writers are often scientific writers who have never used an ii. A majority of the articles cover just the surface of utility and fail to touch the functionalities in detail. iii. Most of the articles are paid articles that only mention the products of the vendors who paid for them. As an industry expert and founder of an , I’m closely in touch with over 300 biotech companies/labs and will like to provide a unique comparative analysis of and Benchling. I’ll cover details on Development, IP, Customers, , LIMS, Security, and Price.

CONCLUSION

With headquarters in South San Francisco, CA, that focuses on the development and distribution of and . Our provide flexible solutions to all research data management challenges, with the unique . Relatively new to the scene as well, the Benchling data management and collaboration platform are more specifically designed for the advancement of research in life sciences. There are six different Benchling products which serve for six different laboratory requests. Both companies have existed for just a few years and tackle data management in different ways.

is structured for entire organizations that intend to own and control all created data. Each account represents one organization which is allowed to create members with user information regarded as private. Users can’t join the organization and all information including that of the organization is private. Benchling is more centralized for personal use. Accounts are for users who are free to set data as personal or organization. User and organization information is public which means, organizations can search and add existing users. Also, users can search and request to join existing organizations. These properties make the ideal platform for organizations looking for complete control over the activities of their users. Also, if your organization is concerned about its information and personal information from its users, use . Benchling will be perfect if none of these issues disturb the functioning of your organization.

Tailored towards the diverse requirements of all research laboratories, can be used by companies in all fields of the industry; biotech, mining, agriculture, etc. On the other hand, the design of Benchling supports biological experimentation best, making it particularly suited for Bioscience research labs in Universities, and so on.

With , permission is defined at the level of the project as users are only permitted to view/edit specific records. This is not particularly so with Benchling as permission is defined at the project level for shared projects but users have full control over personal data. Creating an experiment is easy with both and Benchling. Labii just has higher IP protection, and permission control, offering a restricted contribution to users. Meanwhile, users are free to create their own folders/projects on Benchling. Templates can be added on the platform with the possibility of adding records from templates. I didn’t find this function while testing Benchling, but I believe it’s available and I just couldn’t find it.

The versatile and extendibility properties of are very much expressed in the possibility of adding an unlimited number of sections to a record. Opposed to Benchling’s 3 standard modules; Protocol, Notes, and Metadata (respectively used to reference protocol, document free text, tables or files, and record values), helps users go beyond note-taking with advanced functions like data analysis and sample usage tracking. Each section of an experiment on works like a smartphone app that can hold any data type according to the widget selected. Text widgets can be used to document free text, table widgets for the creation of editable tables, file widgets to preview files, signature widgets to sign documents, Column Data widget for the management of all column data, etc. In addition to the 30 publicly available widgets, is constantly working to develop more widgets to meet other research needs. We also help develop custom widgets for our customers to meet their specific requirements. and Benchling both meet the standard requirements of GLP and FDA 21 CRF part 11. And our platform offers Blockchain enhanced Version control and Activity Tracking.

At , we provide full LIMS which store virtually any type of data including; Samples, Equipment, Reagents, Locations, etc. Custom tables can also be created for other specific data types like Cell lines, Proteins, Plasmid, etc. Molecular tools, recording of consumption history for samples/reagents, and Data analysis are available with the use of widgets. Contrarily, Benchling only supports the management of Registries and Samples. However, processes are structured from discovery through bioprocessing to track progress, eliminate bottlenecks, and drive better research decisions. Similar LIMS workflow management facilities are still on alpha testing with . Benchling’s molecular tools are more sophisticated, as paid customers are delivered the version with gene editing and CRISPR.

With much more security guarantees and slightly compromised convenience, is owed to our Account Lockout Policy and excessive session timeouts which require users to log in again after 30 inactive minutes. Failed Login Reports, Encrypted Traffic with HTTPS, Daily Backup, Content Security Policy (CSP), Periodic Vulnerability Testing, X-XSS-Protection Header all contribute to our unique security. The lower security guarantees of Benchling source from industry encryption and regular back-ups.

Our team responds to support tickets within 24 hours and there is immediate assistance with Paid Support. Benchling with limited functionalities is free for academic missions and the annual subscription for the full software costs $1250. The Benchling Academic plan would be perfect if you have no budget and only need a few simple functions. If you need advanced functions and can afford a few bucks, then the Pay-Per-Use plan of looks more like it.

The customization aspect, capacity for extended functionalities, full permission control and IP protection of are strong data management advantages with the stand out pros of Benchling being its simplicity, sophisticated molecular tools, and free option. It’s important to note that despite the many advantages, the software platform requires more learning. We can, therefore, conclude that is perfect for organizations that value research data security and are looking to exploit our new innovative and resolve research bottlenecks almost all the other existing products can’t handle. Meanwhile, Benchling is one of the best options for end-users who prefer a simple word-like interface as ELN and need easy-to-access molecular tools. Benchling is currently more popular. However, no one can say with outright certainty which of these two will dominate the future of the industry as is a uniquely effective scientific tool with the unrivaled potential.
