## Reviews

### "E-workbook" — 3.0/5

> **Fiona** | *24 September 2025* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: File structure, compliance \& security are very good and this is something that biotechnology companies need.
> 
> **Cons**: It's difficult to update templates quickly as a spreadsheet designer as well as it being and difficult to learn spreadsheet designer. Although it's easy enough to learn the functions in SSD, to actually design a complex template takes a long time to develop skills.
> 
> As a user, I'm a super user and it does take some getting used to. However, I'm quite techy so can help others with e-workbook. There are many things that are good about e-workbook, but the lack of multi user access can be an issue

### "Love the product\!" — 4.0/5

> **Christina** | *23 September 2025* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the internal spreadsheets of ELN. They allow us to standardize and structure our data to support advanced searches and analytics
> 
> **Cons**: It is very expensive and I wish the documentation was better. Sometimes when trying to implement a new feature, it takes a lot of back and  forth with IDBS as the documentation is not easy to find on your own
> 
> We have had an overall great experience with IDBS. They listen to feedback very well and continue to improve every year\!

### "豊富な機能。活かせるようにしたい" — 4.0/5

> **Yuya** | *18 May 2026* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 機能が豊富。使いこなせていない機能も多いが、ポテンシャルを感じる。例えば外部DB連携や、Webアプリとの連携などができそう。
plenty of functionllity although I don't understand everythng.
> 
> **Cons**: 一部動作が不安定なところ。
開発者向けにドキュメントをもう少し拡充して欲しい。AI利用を考えると多すぎるくらいでもいい。
sometimes unstable.
need more documents for developpers.
> 
> ユーザーとして利用している頃はきづかなかったが、豊富な機能がありポテンシャルが高い。機能が多すぎるが故に使いこなしが難しくなっているところもある。これを両立させるようにできると嬉しい。今後の開発計画ワクワクするようなものもあるため、期待している。
