    I have used other AV integrators in the past. AVI-SPL is a good size integrator where they still know your company and logistics. It is rare to find a company that understands your needs and size while still being large enough to service a well established and large company.

    AVI-SPL has provided Cisco Room systems for our conference rooms. They are an integrator for use, not the actual product.
    WE have decided to move solely to Cisco Room systems as it gives the best overall options, and BYOD is not needed, but it is supported if the need arises.

    AVI-SPL listens well to their customers so that they can provide optimal solutions to the identified problems. Because of the level of sophistication that they bring to every project, they may not be well suited for smaller installations where that level of complexity isn’t necessary.

    Pros
    AVI-SPL LLC
    • Analyzed our physical soundstage from architect drawings and made recommendations tailored to our space.
    • Fast email response and call-backs from their consultants - we never had to wait. They get back before the day ends.
    • They remember us as a valued client, even if months go by between purchases. We never have to be reintroduced.
    • Invoicing is clear and concise with no mystery charges - always matches the quotes.

    Cons
    AVI-SPL LLC
    • Turnaround time on quoting could be improved.
    • Install times are generally booked out a bit. I know that there is a balance between demand and onhand resources.
    • Pricing. They are by far one of the most expensive. I constantly need to look for ways to trim back costs because there is quite a lot baked into the quote in terms of maintenance and it feels like a cash grab in the end. I've gotten quotes elsewhere due to some of the numbers I've received and they all have come well under AVI-SPL's. Here's the list of line items from what I've seen from my last quote and this is from one conference room. Equipment Total, Installation Materials, Professional Services, Direct Costs, General and Administrative, Room Support and Maintenance, Device Maintenance. This feels egregious.

    They are a great company to work with overall, but there is always room for improvement. We have had incredibly positive experiences with our main sales rep for any and all purchases. The installation team in southwest VA is lacking and lead to quite a lot of issues on a large scale project last year.

    They had us replace the PC three times stating that the PSU was not strong enough to power the USB bus. The last PC had a 1500w PSU. The USB devices kept not working because they had too many USB devices connected. We had to hire another company to come out and fix this mistake as well. They redesigned the solution to get the features that we requested from the beginning and something that would work correctly

    I don't believe I have directly worked with the AVI SPL global help desk. However, when we have had equipment issues, we have been able to work through our rep, who involves support or engineering services, as well as communication with the vendor directly, and that has been very helpful for us.

    Given a caveat that this project had major changes to overcome, I would say AVI-SPL did about as well as any large installer out there could do under the circumstances.

    Return on Investment
    AVI-SPL LLC
    • Feedback of our Training rooms is great! People rely on them for large conferences, meetings, and Trainings. The rooms are easy to use and reliable.
    • Having the peace of mind of a service contract keeps me doing my job instead of troubleshooting a broken room. I get to work with my customers to make sure they always have what they need.
    • Rooms going down is a major disruption to our business. We have dozens of conference rooms that are used constantly. Without these rooms up and running, we lose business. AVI-SPL helps keep our rooms up to date and reliable so we can keep doing business.
