AgilQuest vs. Roomzilla

It's really a very good product and serves us well. There are some things that could be better but overall we're very happy with it.

Roomzilla is helpful for both my office which has 9 conference rooms, as well as our building as a whole which has many common areas and about 40 rooms available for booking. It can also be used for less traditional spaces such as phone booths, treadmill desks, outdoor table areas, etc. It can be used for recurring meetings as well as for one-off meetings to easily schedule an available room or area according to your needs, such as the number of people, projector availability, whiteboard, etc.

• Reserve rooms for meetings or personal use.
• Create recurrent reservations.
• Be accessible anywhere and anytime.

• The mobile app does not yet have a map feature that mimics the one in the desktop version
• At the time we launched, it didn't interface well with Outlook. So we couldn't reserve the room and send an invitation to attendees in the same step. As such, we elected to use AgilQuest for workstation reservations only and use Outlook to reserve meeting rooms and people. We understand this has been corrected but have been too busy to go back to test and relaunch that feature.
• The basic reporting package is a bit weak but it works OK for us. They want to upsell you on their more robust reporting platform.

• When someone cancels a recurring or one-time meeting on Outlook, the reservation isn't removed on Roomzilla. It creates a two-step process for users when they reschedule meetings via Outlook.

I didn't use any support for Roomzilla.

As mentioned above, we haven't evaluated any other products since the implementation. At the time, it was the best fit for us. There may be other products on the market now that would be even better. However, AgilQuest serves us well and we are happy with it's performance. It would be a very big, expensive undertaking to transition to a different product and at this time there is no motivation to go down that road.

I've only used Roomzilla.

• It is a key component in the firm being able to completely transform our working environment. We needed a hoteling software that would allow us to move from one-to-one assigned seating to seat sharing. This, in turn, has allowed us to shrink our footprints as leases expire and create a whole new working environment. Some key metrics thus far are: (1) our portfolio has dropped by 77,000 RSF despite significant headcount growth, (2) RSF per person has decreased from 260 in 2014 to 185, on our way to 150, as future renovations are completed, and (3) we have reduced future occupancy costs by $52 million.

• It has made our meetings more seamless since we don't have to spend time walking around looking for available space.
• I use it to schedule about 15 personal meetings/week.
