Speed and APIs have boosted scientific workflows but multi-environment deployment still needs work
In the product, they have started taking the right direction with Revvity Signals Notebook. They have added in-vitro analysis. That is, within Signals Notebook, you can define your experimental workflow steps. However, that is not very customizable. They have started adding those automation steps within in-vitro analysis. If you have a simple workflow, you can automate that within Signals Notebook itself using in-vitro analysis objects. You don't have to go to VitroVivo; you don't have to depend on Spotfire skill because VitroVivo requires your Spotfire skills. They can mature it because they have now started adding different plottings, such as P3 and P4 kind of plotting and curve fitting plotting. However, it is still at a very early stage. They can work on that area to mature their in-vitro analysis, to showcase all kinds of visualization and make their different steps more customizable. They have been adding more and more features in ADT. They can continue doing that with more and more functionality. For other functionality, they can also do things such as how they can combine multiple ADTs together. If we have to do a joining of two ADTs' data and putting it into other ADTs, or if we have to do a union of ADTs, if they can do it at the Signals Notebook level itself, then it will be quite flexible. Many tasks can be taken care of at the notebook level. You don't have to utilize the Signals Notebook API and then integrate it in your Python-based scripting or any other data pipeline scripting for doing this kind of task. Many things can be done at the notebook level. There are improvement areas in Signals Notebook itself, in the area of ADTs, combining data, and joining data. They can add the filtration as well. Currently, the limit in the ADT is 2,000 rows, so they can increase that limit to 10,000 and more than that. If somebody is joining one ADT to another ADT and then the result is getting saved into an ADT, then this row limitation should not come as a hurdle. For the stability of Revvity Signals Notebook itself, the rating is 9 out of 10. However, the only demerit of one feature of Signals Notebook is their deployment product. If you have multiple tenants, for example, one for the development area, another is for the QA area, another is for UAT, or then the production area, if you have multiple environments configured, and you want to deploy your experiments templates from one environment to another environment, that is a big pain. They have called it CTT functionality, and that is a very unstable functionality they have. It is one of the worst functionalities in Signals Notebook, that CTT tool they have. However, after getting complaints from the client side, they have started working, but the approach is still not that great. They don't have a seamless deployment application available from one tenant to another tenant. If I have to rate it, for deployment from one environment to another, I would be giving 2 or 3 out of 10.

Solid multi-ingestion tool but with poor exception handling
The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good. If any event happens (an event is when the job stops in the middle of the process), it doesn't tell you at which point it failed and it doesn't tell the operations team how they should take corrective actions unless you call Zaloni and then identify the issues. That is one issue. Another issue is that sometimes your jobs fail and if you run it a second time, it will go through. A third area it could be improved is the deployment process. When you want to deploy anything, it has a lot of manual processes. For example, you have to create your password in an encrypted format, and then you have to use a lot of manual deployment process. They should actually be building something else, like using Jenkins or automating their process. I have suggested to them that they have to improve their deployment process because they want everyone to run a manual deployment. It takes a lot of time, about half a day, for any single deployment. Then test it, then it might not work, and then reverting back is not easy because of the manual deployment process. I think in recent versions they added a lot of upgrades and additional features including a lot of integrations. Before it was just AWS, later they extended it to Azure. I'm not sure how they have extended it to GCP. It has some built-in features and a lot of improvements now because the UI and the features were not easy to navigate. Regarding showing the metrics, it's okay. I will say it's neither easy nor hard, there is whatever is required. Lastly, on the governance side, it's not very good. We faced some issues with the Ranger version. Ranger was an authentication tool on big data and Zaloni had some compatibility issues with the Ranger at that time. Later they said those are all going to be resolved, but at that time it had some issues. I'm not sure whether it was working with the Sentry or not.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"All the clients are liking this tool because of the speed with which you can configure anything, the simplicity of the UI, as well as the speed with which it saves your data."
"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."
"The entire need was to ingest it into big data and Zaloni was the fastest product to test and implement into production."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to map data and write workflows with logic inside them."
"You can create a lot of ingestions based on the file levels or based on the time."
 

Cons

"I trust the Signals support team regarding collaboration and data security, although I am not entirely certain about the security of Revvity."
"It is one of the worst functionalities in Signals Notebook, that CTT tool they have."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"When we have gone to the support team because something is wrong with the product, I would say that it has not been easy for them to sort things out and quickly give us a patch."
"The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good. If any event happens, it doesn't tell you at which point it failed and it doesn't tell the operations team how they should take corrective actions unless you call Zaloni and then identify the issues. That is one issue."
"The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
