Pros

I love how I can edit and work on my projects easily, and there is so much easy ways to edits and write notes for reference. I will continue to use benchling in the future b/c i love it so much.
I use it almost everyday when I have cloning to do or protein analysis and I love it. I used a lot of different software in the past and this one is the best by far.
I am very satisfied and recommend to new labs or established lab to keep you data secure an trackable.

Pros

It's just a very good system to use to record and share experiments and the very importantly the customer service is very responsive and helpful.
User friendly system for storing protocols, writing up experiments, useful inventory for cold storage, equipment, samples etc. Easy to share and witness experiments.
The ELN really helps to have a good overview of research that is conducted in an academic research lab.

Cons

Constantly copying and pasting plasmids from one location to another gets annoying after the 30th plasmid.
Sometimes, copying data or exporting data from benchhling to external folders are difficult.
Sometimes hard to manipulate trash/archived files.

Cons

When trying to import a large amount of data the system sometimes is slow or import fails occasionally. Sometimes the search function fails to find all documents.
You can physically store the pdf of the Labguru virtual notebook but what do you do for the data. The moment my lab or research group decides to quit Labguru, all the data will be lost.
If someone has a bad internet day then he/she will not be able to work on Labguru at all.
