“Advantage: 1. Batch export, diversified export formats 2. As long as the training is in place, the analysis results are very accurate, the interface operation is very friendly, and the annotation effect is also very good in similar slices Suggestions for Improvement: 1. The module effect of serial slice registration is not very good, it can be further developed 2. It would be better if the exported annotation file could be compatible with other software such as qupath 3. The app is too expensive, I hope to have a free web version, which is convenient for viewing the results and exporting data on a personal computer 4. Considering the large number of users in China, it is recommended to enable the Chinese interface”

“The software is modular and can be run on a server. This helps to increase the analysis power and while reducing the hardware requirement to do the analysis from individual’s side. It accepts multiple image formats for analysis which is a plus. The representatives were professional and helped in setting up more modules with ease. Since we have used other software, migrating to this one was easy and has few more analysis set up which was useful and increased its value among our researchers.”

“Halo is simply the best whole-slide analysis software available. We have a large core facility, scanning over 15,000 brightfield and 2,000 fluorescence slides per year (plus many confocal microscopes, etc.). For whole-slide analysis, we formerly used Genie (from Aperio), and InForm (from Perkin Elmer), and we have collaborators using Definiens (no longer available) and Visiopharm. But now we have over 50 users per month working on Halo and the other platforms have been virtually shut down. Halo is very easy to get up and running – within a 2 hour session we can get a new user started with their own classification and cell counting application. Most users run a batch analysis overnight and collect and review their results in the morning. The team at Indica Labs are quick to respond when we have a challenging analysis project – they will WebEx in and help optimize the parameters. They have the experience (and courage) to tell us if the staining is just not suitable or a more complex classifier is required.”

HALO is extremely straight forward and easy to use. Great and useful features include: 1. The real-time tuning tool to allow a live view of the effects of various analysis parameters for easy optimization. 2. Annotation tools make it easy to select regions of interest. 3. The ability to perform batch analysis on many images at once. 4. Useful and handy multi-panel figure maker that makes it easy for publication.
