Benchling: A great tool for graduate school and industry
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst thing about Benchling by far is the file management. It is tedious to move and duplicate files and challenging to search for files. Copying and pasting files is very clunky. I don't understand why they can't just do a normal file management set up like other programs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Benchling helps me a lot with mocleular cloning and keeping all of my sequences and primers organized in one place. It also helps me and my colleagues share and work on lab notebook entries simulatenously.
