N/A - Our parent company decided on implementing Robin above all other alternative applications, and I am personably unaware of any alternatives. And though there are some minor changes I may suggest, the integration and simplicity of Robin makes me wonder if there could be a …

I have not evaluated any similar products.

I haven't used any software like Robin. Other places I worked required an archaic way of doing things...like using pen and paper and a calendar book. Robin is sooo much better. I don't know how large companies make do reserving spaces without it. I would recommend Robin to …
Chose Robin
As an employee I can't comment on the final decision but I have used in-house alternatives in the past and also investigated other third party solutions, what stood out was Robin's value and its continued development of new features particularly analytics as this is an area …

I have not used any product other than Robin.

When we started with Robin, we looked at the Evoko Liso as far as a hardware and software solution. Robin was much more compatible with the software we wanted and offered much more customization at less cost. I looked at other software solutions and nothing integrated as well …

In terms of meeting room booking platforms, I compare Robin to Condeco, which I used previously. Condeco (at the time at least) ran on proprietary hardware, which was a nightmare to manage compared to the ease of use with Robin running on iPads. iPads are easily swapped out and …
Chose Robin
We were a longtime customer of Teem at our current organization and I used it at a former employer. Being a greater Boston based company we liked that we were close to Robin's HQ. This gave us face-time with the owners and our account executives. Aside from that, Robin was …
Chose Robin
We only used Robin for room/meeting management. We recently transitioned to Zoom video conferencing, and they have enough room/meeting management features that we no longer need Robin. Robin does more, like dashboards, and many other features, but we never leveraged them.
Chose Robin
While all of these do essentially the same thing, Robin stands out in its simplicity. The main display has a colored overlay that informs users of the room status, whereas, with a system like Teem, this can be overlooked depending on the chosen theme.
Chose Robin
Robin has a lot more functionality currently, although I suspect Zoom's version will eventually be just as good at a much lower price point.
Chose Robin
Unlike Fishbowl, Robin was available on the Kindle App Store and was also much more configurable.

Meet Joan was interesting but given that it runs on its own proprietary hardware, there was a committed investment in testing it. Having an app which runs on multiple platforms, …
Chose Robin
I honestly haven't yet. We used to default to a Google Calendar work around before implementing Robin.

Robin is my benchmark for room displays. It effectively does what it is meant to do without additional fluff. The default theme is more than you'll ever really need, but customization is available. I just really wish there was a simpler way to remove check-in requirements for events. I would always recommend them first for most situations, but my company has a special use case that Robin, or any other competitors for that matter, have not been able to achieve yet.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • The integration to GSuite calendars is fantastic. Very simple and straightforward.
  • The ability to customize the interface a very nice feature to have in Robin, as it offers you to allow the UI to reflect the vibe/brand of your company, and not force its own brand on you.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Cancelling out my reservation for the room if I miss the mark on check in.
  • Not sure if it's a bug, but sometimes I have to repeat my reservation if I don't get it confirmed or have a notification of confirmation the first time.

Usability

Robin's UI is very well designed and modern which makes it a pleasure to use. Personally this a big factor for me enjoying a product and so I'm always happy to use Robin - moreover as a relatively new user the UI was quite quick to pick-up, whether that be using the online system or the Display app for rooms around the office.

I have rarely had to contact customer support, but when I have, they have provided quick answers to solve the problem I was having. The software is pretty easy to use and not too buggy, so I really haven't had the occasion to contact them needing support. And no users have ever had issues.
