Digital lab collaboration has transformed how we centralize, share, and template experimental data
The best features Revvity Signals Notebook offers include the significant difference between it and paper notebooks. Now we can get all the data in one single computer from several users. We changed our mindset, and now we can compile all the data from several projects. This feature has helped my team and made our work easier because we can work in a more efficient manner, and we also save a lot of time because we can use templates for experiment creation, allowing us to avoid repetitive tasks. Revvity Signals Notebook has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to work together across several sites. My company has two sites in different cities, so now we can work together and compile all the data in one place. We can work on one experiment across different sites of the company. I am unable to share specific metrics or examples, but I can say that this cross-site collaboration is very useful for us.

SUSE Linux Enterprise is a mature and reliable platform, but there are areas where it can be improved. Modernizing the system management tools is important as many users appreciate YaST for its centralized management, but there is a growing demand for more modern, web-based, and modular tools. The introduction of tools such as Agama, a web-based installer, and Cockpit in newer releases is a step in the right direction.SUSE has made progress with multi-Linux support, allowing organizations to manage and support not just SUSE systems but also other distributions such as Red Hat and CentOS; continuing to expand these capabilities, especially for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, will help organizations manage diverse infrastructure more effectively. Security is a top concern, and further strengthening default security policies, simplifying compliance management, and integrating advanced vulnerability management tools would be a valuable improvement.

Pros

"The best features Revvity Signals Notebook offers include the significant difference between it and paper notebooks, as now we can get all the data in one single computer from several users, we changed our mindset, and now we can compile all the data from several projects."
"My company has a business relationship with this vendor as a distributor and reseller beyond being just a customer."
"From my experience over the last fifteen months, the most valuable feature of the Revvity Signals Notebook is its ease of use. Customers appreciate that updating templates is straightforward and everything is automatically saved. The UI is simple, making creating, sharing, and searching experiments easy. Different scientists can reference each other's experiments seamlessly. It is also swift compared to other vendor-built software, where you have to customize templates and write a lot of code. Revvity Signals Notebook excels in this aspect, making it smooth and efficient."
"We use this as our operating system; it's a platform to deploy solutions."
"My customers are happy with the features and the stability of the code."
"The most important feature is the automatic kernel lifecycle subscription, which is critical for us because the server cannot go down once we start offering any services on the cluster."
"The initial setup for most modern Linux distributions is normally straightforward. Most of the common distributions use an ncurses or GUI install."
"The technical support services are good."
"This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it in the future."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Any company looking to standardize on a Linux platform should seriously review this product."
 

Cons

"Revvity Signals Notebook is not applicable to my main use case, as I typically do not use it for any specific purpose in my daily work."
"The workflow implementation is a pain point for customers because it relies on Spotfire with added plugins, which are not natively integrated. This makes execution slow and less effective in meeting all scientific workflow needs. Additionally, the support service is slow to respond and resolve issues. Even known problems take time due to a lack of astrong developer support team, making it a significant product drawback. They also need to work on other products like Workflow, which still need to achieve these compliance requirements. While Signals Notebook is good enough to meet all the necessary needs, other products like BitLocker still need improvements to become fully compliant enterprise products."
"I trust the Signals support team regarding collaboration and data security, although I am not entirely certain about the security of Revvity."
"I have not seen an ROI with this solution."
"Red Hat has more packages that are available than SUSE does. I'd love to see more projects based on SUSE."
"The free version sometimes has security holes."
"The interface could improve."
"Compared with the competition, of late actually, the solution has increased its pricing tremendously."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The license we subscribed to should carry over within the same instance family. Why are we required to re-subscribe when upgrading within the same family? Why are we effectively paying double fees during an upgrade?"
"SUSE Linux Enterprise can be improved by having more documentation or logging systems available on the internet, as we face difficulties troubleshooting issues without sufficient resources."
