Clustermarket Reviews

The best booking system for R&D or academia I have tried. Easy to use and maintain. Support is always there for you.

Easy to add new users. their roles and new instruments. New students learnt it very quickly. Really nice overview of the user current and future bookings. As an administrator, very nice overview of students booking and possibility to cancel them and/or book it for different time slot if there is a clash

Booking range is 15 min, could be more flexible. Ideally it would be free of charge

Clustermarket offers a centralised platform that streamlines lab management by consolidating equipment booking, maintenance, and inventory. This unified system boosts efficiency, reduces manual tasks, and fosters collaboration among researchers and institutions. It provides real-time equipment availability, generates valuable data-driven insights, and offers a user-friendly interface with customisable settings. Additionally, the platform benefits from strong customer support and we would be lost without it.

I am genuinely struggling to think of any, though would love a dark mode!

Booking management is an ideal solution for streamlining operations in our shared laboratory, we are satisfied.

We are pleased to announce the implementation of Clustermarket software in our laboratory. This innovative solution enables multiple workgroups to utilise shared equipment in a time-efficient manner, while ensuring the lab space is optimally allocated to specific groups. Scheduled room occupancy is shared and accessible for viewing at any time and from any location, facilitating convenient lab booking management.

Following a year of using the software, we are pleased to report that our experience of working with Clustermarket has been satisfactory.

We are completely satisfied with the system - however, we are currently not using all features like billing or reporting but planning to do so in future...

My lab mainly uses the booking calendar and it works nicely for our purposes. Fast and good support!

A form creator option for the booking process would be useful.

We now use the software primarily for booking equipment, but in lockdown it was for booking every area of the labs/office spaces and we find it does the job very well!

It's easy to book things, view other bookings, keep training records and create reports of equipment use.
The customer service is also excellent, quickly helping us gain access to an old account so we could transfer equipment info over.

Early versions were a bit clunky but many improvements have been made and we're now happy with it.

I am very satisfied with Clustermarket and grateful for its services, especially since I started using it during COVID. I’m sure many others love it as much as I do.

This is a fantastic product that is easy to use and manage. The support team has consistently been prompt, helpful, and timely. Highly recommended!

None. I don't have any concerns or problems with the product or the service.

You wonder how the lab was working before Clustermarket!
No more waiting to use a piece of equipment.
No argument about who is to use equipment.
You plan, you book, it's ready when you need to use.
Save on time. Save on money.

24/7 access from any computer to plan and assure needed equipment will be available. Every students or lab personnel know when equipment is available. No more losing an experiment because the plate had to sit too long before being read...
Awesome customer service!

A little tricky to learn to use but then it is so helpful

Clustermarket is very user friendly. The simplicity of its design allows for easy navigating around users and equipment. The support is quick and very helpful. I'm sure as it grows, more integration will occur making it even more invaluable to management teams.

Clustermarket is easy to navigate and update as members join and leave the labs. Separating users and equipment allows you to update specific groups/ people when needed and their access to equipment. It also allows you to set planned maintenance for equipment, only contacting relevant users as opposed to mass spam emails which is very useful.

When adding new pieces of equipment it seems difficult to easily add access to all current individuals or the process for this is not clear.

This is an excellent booking system. I would recommend this software to everyone. Having tried this for a year already.

As a principal investigator, the booking systems allowed me to manage and control the utilization of our laboratory resources to the maximum capacity.

It would be great if you had a mobile apps for the application.

What started as a necessity for COVID limitations, developed as a handy tool to manage laboratory spaces and equipment usage

Very easy to use and implement, setting up all the needed features is a no-brainer. Handy for all the paperwork and health and safety checks for specialised equipment.

Could be a bit time-consuming when uploading bulk data, however, the dev team is amazing and very helpful with that!
