Setting up new users and training take little to no time. > > **Cons**: Users are unable to edit their bookings after-the-fact, which is difficult when this is being used for billing (I am doing it all myself). The only way for users to edit past bookings is if they get admin status, which would make it much more difficult for them to use (would see everything vs. just the instruments they can use) and take away the point of the software. > > Customer service has been absolutely fantastic since day one. Don't think I've waited more than a few hours ever for a response. ----- ### "Best Lab Management Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Adrian** | *20 October 2021* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product is a great lab management tool. Many nice features for instrument management, many different roles/access level to instruments and easy to deploy/scale. I highly recommend. > > **Cons**: The only downside but I really hope it will be implemented in the near future is that it currently has no solution for inventory management, so I have to rely to alternative products ----- ### "A customizable program for instrument and personnel management that is a must for research." — 5.0/5 > **Gilbert** | *20 October 2021* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use of this software, easy implementation across all staff members, customizable nature, and the online nature of the data are all amazing pros for this software. > > **Cons**: There really isn't anything I dislike about this software. Very easy to use and a great addition to our research group\! > > Streamline equipment and personnel management in one software, improving efficiency across the board. ----- ### "Works well for managing a small number of users but becomes more difficult as our user base grows." — 3.0/5 > **Callum** | *8 December 2021* | Nanotechnology | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. This is a good way to manage equipment bookings. 2. This is reliably way to ensure we are complying with most of the university regulations. > > **Cons**: 1. Hard to manage covid-19 restrictions - e.g. limited number of people allowed in each lab. There is no feature to help with this. 2. Users can book multiple equipment and lab spaces simultaneously. Currently, I am forced to spend lots of admin time daily checking and re-arranging people that have "double-booked". If they have double-booked, we cannot reliably say how many people were in that specific lab at that time. 3. It would be nice if I could track consumable usage/costs on top of equipment bookings for each user. For instance, some users will use very expensive consumables (e.g. gold deposition). 4. It would be good to incorporate a feature for users to request training on specific equipment/labs on top of this booking software. 5. One of the tabs on the left could be labelled "Rules" where the admin can list the equipment/lab/bookings rules. 6. There should a clearer hierarchy showing which setting overrule similar settings elsewhere. For instance, booking hour settings in a group overrule the booking hour settings given to an individual user. 7. It would be good if there was a way to confirm whether a user has had training on the equipment and submitted a risk assessment before being allowed to book the equipment. > > 5/10 ----- ### "Great software package for academic institutions" — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *3 September 2020* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use Bookit to book equipment internally across all our research platforms, including high-spec and day-to-day equipment. They have a great offer for academic institutions and we have found the system easy to use for lab administrators and users. I would also note that the customer service provided has been great, they are very responsive and open to making updates to the system when we have suggestions. The updates provided have allowed for a sophisticated and robust set of permissions available to tightly control bookings on heavily used equipment. We also have plans to start charging some external users for access to some equipment and Bookit is equipped to manage this. > > **Cons**: The reporting provided is comprehensive in that all data can be easily exported into a csv file and manipulated into your own reports. However, I think lab managers/administrators would benefit from some quick reporting directly in the system (e.g. usage of equipment across a facility or over time). ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/206878/bookkit?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/206878/bookkit) ## 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 | | ----- ## Structured Data
