Bing Maps vs. Cisco Spaces

Bing Maps gives access to clear background aerial imagery. The imagery and street views are quite up to date which helps quite a bit. There should, however, be more features included on Bing Maps.

I think it's well suited for real estate management teams when they are drowning in data, but they're starting from insights. I think that's most appropriate. It's possibly not the right solution for smaller sites. So if it's very obvious where you need to go or you don't need that visibility because the office is particularly small, it doesn't make sense at all.

• Close ups on the street 360 is very clear
• The to and from for directions is very accurate
• The features are very user-friendly

• It does, especially while integration with other systems. That's my favorite functionality of it, is anything that we've asked it to integrate with, there's always an integration or it can be designed relatively easily.
• It's also very user-friendly. We trained a bunch of non-technical people, our security team to be able to track and see when devices are being stolen versus being in the hospital, and how to try and secure the devices a little bit better ever.

• include more features
• make it compatible with other data that can be imported

• There's actually only one. It is easy to use, easy to deploy, but in the back end, you guys have a partnership in general with AT&T and T-Mobile. I'm looking for you guys to have Verizon added to that. So I know you guys are working on that, but that's probably the biggest thing I have.

There is a strong commit from the management team to continue our investment into Spaces. We are currenly looking into options how to expand occupancy visibility into all meeting rooms (also those without collaboration device deployed) to gather even more granular real time data for all meetings rooms. So based on recent discussions I don't see the reasons, why we wouldn't proceed with the Spaces adoption.

Spaces is very easy to use. I am glad that Cisco took the DNA platform and made it more user friendly. It is a simple single pane of glass that has every thing you need in one place. To me, it is very self explanatory

Support staff is very helpful and responsive. When they give you a window of when they will get back to you, they try to aim to wait as minimal as possible. Support tries to have a least an idea of what the problem is and ask what troubleshooting have you done. They would prefer not to have to go over troubleshooting steps that didn’t work before.

Home Depot and Lowes are both in the same category and offer great products and services but each have something a little different the other doesn't offer or have. Likewise, Bing Maps is in the same category as Google Maps but offers a little something slightly different in the features.

People counting. Cisco Spaces integrates with Kio Cloud to enhance location-based services by enabling IoT-driven insights and automation. Kio Cloud is a cloud-based IoT management platform designed to work with Cisco Spaces' IoT Device Marketplace, allowing organizations to manage, monitor, and gain insights from a wide range of IoT sensors and devices.

• More customers have seen our locations on Maps
• Customers have called the phone numbers on our Maps pages
• Bing Search has picked up on Bing Maps changes

• So we haven't had necessarily an ROI from the product because we haven't used it to substantiate anything else except for DAS. So when I look at a distributed system like DAS from an accelerator client, it's easily one-quarter of the price.
