    Globally, the system is not very well suited. Lack of appropriate interfaces for instrument detectors is a good example. Watson lims can maintain sample traceability correctly however, it is clearly not designed for high throughput sample analysis. Our laboratory global efficiency significantly decreased upon Watson Lims implementation. New ''Analytical samples'' functionality was now well designed and have a lot of limitations. The Software validation provided and executed by the vendor is weak and showed major execution error also with poor documentation practice. Very disappointing.

    Cons
    IBM
    • More tech support may make it easier as it is only limited to be done via company representatives
    • Overhead cost for replacements and services looks like it is high compared to others
    • Integration with other cloud based application will be great

    • Watson have a lot of things to improve. The software has a old user interface absolutely not up to the current software standard. The backend is even worst.
    • The software has a old user interface absolutely not up to the current software standard. The backend is even worst. The system crash regularly.
    • The licensing service do not works properly, half of the time we need to restart the licensing server to provide access to new users.
    • The process that needs to be used to allow samples analysis a result reporting is rigid and clearly not enough flexible.
    • Multiple excel macro were internally created to cover aspect not supported by the software.
    • Interface between Thermo Fisher Watson Lims and Thermo Fisher Q Exactive instrument do not works. Watson Lims cannot interface neither with current version of WinNonLin software. This is a major lack.

    Support is not reactive and is slow. Support has difficulty recognizing and admitting software bugs when reported by the client

    Netezza is sufficient against similar products. It comes down to personal preference, I'd love to have the data objects popping up as I type but some people may not like it.

    The only reason to have selected Watson lims software is for its (overestimated!) credibility in the industry.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • The appliance is all in one so we have all licenses and support contracts under one roof.
    • The cost is expensive so ROI may take time to be realized.
    • If done correctly, then Netezza provides the opportunity for huge ROI.

    • The only positive impact is for client facing. Watson lims is well known in the industry and the purchase of this software increase the credibility of our organization.
    • The ROI is a disaster. First: The cost of the software is significantly to high, the user licences cost also contribute in the ROI disaster. Second: The implementation of watson lims significantly decrease our laboratory efficiency.
