No reliable churn analyses were found. The negative SourceForge review implies risk of switching due to support and regulatory responsiveness.
Given limited third-party reviews, reasons for selection are inferred from vendor materials and available documentation:

A vendor blog post about NY compliance mentions customers including Smithers, DRS Testing, MCR Labs, Lexachrom Analytical as example customers. This is marketing content and does not provide quantified performance results.

Procurement teams may prefer vendors that publish audit artifacts to reduce vendor risk review friction.

G2 shows 0 Confident LIMS reviews; Capterra appears to have limited/no reviews. If a purchasing committee relies heavily on third-party sentiment analysis, vendors with richer review footprints may be preferred.

Confident’s pricing discloses paid services at $250/hr. If heavy custom development is anticipated, compare vendors offering more self-service configurability or fixed-price implementation packages.

Confident’s Metrc help documentation states Metrc submissions are generally single-submit; corrections may require manual edits in Metrc. If the lab frequently corrects results post-submission, standard operating procedures should be designed to address this limitation.

Because mainstream B2B review platforms have limited/no reviews for Confident LIMS, the most concrete user sentiment found came from SourceForge (Confident Cannabis) and a Reddit discussion referencing COA-sharing risk.
SourceForge (mixed feedback):
Reddit (ecosystem risk around COA sharing): A discussion highlights that QR-linked lab results can be misused by bad actors by linking legitimate results to unrelated batches/products. This is not a direct critique of Confident’s LIMS performance, but underlines a broader ecosystem risk with public/QR COA sharing. The discussion includes a vendor statement warning that counterfeit vendors may fraudulently link to legitimate lab results of unrelated batches.

Confident LIMS is a cloud-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) focused on regulated, high-throughput analytical testing labs. It covers core lab workflow from order intake/accessioning through testing, reporting (COAs), compliance recordkeeping (e.g., audit trails, chain of custody), and client-facing delivery via a portal, public links/QR codes, and integrations (API/webhooks). It also includes a "Testing Network" concept (multi-lab client portal + network effects), intended to support labs in attracting and retaining testing clients and simplifying ordering and results retrieval.
Official positioning highlights a modern user interface, reduced onboarding timelines (weeks vs months), responsive support, and integrations with instruments/systems and compliance platforms such as Metrc and BioTrack.

Primary target: regulated analytical testing laboratories (especially cannabis/hemp historically), and increasingly multi-industry labs expanding into food & beverage, agriculture, environmental, nutraceuticals, cosmetics/personal care, etc.
Secondary target: "testing clients" (cultivators, manufacturers, brands, distributors, municipalities, etc.) who use the client portal to place orders, track status, download COAs/results, and integrate results into their internal systems.
Positioning: described as a UX-led alternative to legacy/enterprise LIMS, and a network-enabled platform rather than a single-tenant, lab-only system.
