AVI-SPL vs. CDW

They provide great service, installation and support. When I need help with anything, I can call them and have a discussion. If service or installation is needed, I can count on them to provide the highest quality technicians to get the jobs done correctly. Box sales are quick, easy and correct

CDW is a good solutions provider that has many offerings a client can choose from. CDW is well suited for solutions that require research and design, and providing the on-site implementation for the client. Hardware and software are also offered from CDW, but costlier, than if dealing with the hardware/software vendor directly.

• The desk mics are a game changer. They can be moved closer to the presenter so that there is never a missed word!
• The camera quality is great! It's important to us to look professional to others outside of the company and this technology helps with that.
• The quick response time on technical issues. Yes, there is always a wait time to have a tech come out. But it also goes to show they stay busy because they are in high demand! Every tech from the installation to software issues that have came to the office are very informative about the software and incredibly nice, which is appreciated more than you know.

• Website is very convenient and easily navigated.

• The wait time for the components has been very long.
• Some of the components agreed upon in the original contract have been discontinued so parts are changing.
• Because of parts being discontinued, we will now have a controller that is no longer removable from the wall.

• High staff turnover.
• Small organizations are treated as second-class citizens.
• Seems to have an agenda based on what their vendors are offering them for incentives.

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

Yes, when we had support for one of our lecture halls for a few months, we maximized our use of the support help desk. They were always responsive and also willing to teach me their solutions as they fixed systems.

SPL-AVI covers all the questions when asked. Excellent demo on how to use the system in our community.

The representatives I worked with were patient and very well versed in working with my team to ensure we are aware of all aspects.

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.

We've gone through a few AV partners since developing our AV program. We started with a small local shop, but they didn't have the expertise as we scaled. We moved to a larger local shop, but they struggled to provide support and I don't believe their designs were optimal. Our third go-round with a national firm seemed fine at first, but eventually they too were unable to provide the level of support we needed. So far, AVI-SPL has been getting us taken care of.

CDW is a top-tier partner with most reputable tech companies. This aids in getting the best prices available.

All is good

The system was not scalable with the hardware they ordered

I would consider inside sales as a professional service. My experience with AVI-SPL and Amanda Laraia has been second to none.

• With the products they supplied, I was better able to present the information to my clients.
• Based on the conference room size, they help determine the best projector that would optimize the viewing for the clients in the room.
• This had a positive impact as I was more effectively able to communicate the information to my clients in an engaging manner.
