About

Calira is an equipment booking and management platform for shared R&D lab equipment. It replaces the shared spreadsheets, Outlook calendars, paper signup sheets, and other improvised systems that most labs use to manage access to shared instruments. Labs use Calira to track instrument utilisation, improve asset visibility, reduce booking conflicts, prevent downtime, plan CapEx, and produce structured usage data. More than 1,800 labs in 53 countries run on Calira, including teams at Moderna, Takeda, Eli Lilly, Bayer, Novo Nordisk, Stanford, and MIT. Feature overview: - Equipment booking - Equipment management - Usage reporting - Maintenance tracking - User management - Notifications

About

Maintainly is a refreshingly simple cloud-based CMMS built for maintenance teams who need to get things done — not spend hours learning complex software. Teams use Maintainly to create, assign, and manage both reactive and preventive work orders, with full support for photos, meter readings, downtime tracking, file uploads, and audit trails. Preventive maintenance schedules run automatically based on time or meter thresholds, so nothing gets missed. Assets are organized into flexible hierarchies, tracked geographically for movable equipment, and accessed instantly by scanning QR codes in the field. Every maintenance event is logged to a full history per asset. Technicians stay on top of tasks through native iOS and Android apps — supporting on-site work order updates, task comments, time logging, and push notifications. Requesters can submit work orders without needing a user account.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 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.
  • Centralised platform Improved efficiency Enhanced collaboration Real-time availability & reporting User-friendly interface Strong customer support
  • 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!
  • 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
  • This is a fantastic product that is easy to use and manage. The support team has consistently been prompt, helpful, and timely. Highly recommended!

Cons

  • Following a year of using the software, we are pleased to report that our experience of working with Clustermarket has been satisfactory.
  • I am genuinely struggling to think of any, though would love a dark mode!
  • A little tricky to learn to use but then it is so helpful
  • Booking range is 15 min, could be more flexible. Ideally it would be free of charge
  • None. I don't have any concerns or problems with the product or the service.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Maintainly has a very simple setup process. Layout and navigation is very intuitive. Seeing tasks and completing work for the users is straightforward and not cumbersome in any way. While remaining simple to use, it still has loads of built in customization and automation options to build robust processes and workflows. As a very small company, we were looking for ease of use for the end user, simplicity and speed in getting setup to start utilizing, and a price point that was not prohibitive to our company's size and needs - and that's what we got with Maintainly.
  • Once everything is inputed , it is a quick and easy app. Easy to create reports monthly. easy to go back and see the work done. Love the option for tags and pictures. Works perfectly with our small company.
  • I like the ease of creating tasks and how easy it is to add checklists. The reports are easy to use and once it is in excel the columns can be modified or deleted to suit your particular needs.
