Cisco Room Phone vs. Snom C520 Conference Phone

Good scenario: Medium rooms with requires a good coverage of sound where people are located 3 meters far from the device works very good. Less appropriate: areas where using wired extension microphone are no allowed. This is could be a challenge if you have a table without holes to pass cabling through.

Incentivized

• Easy device monitoring and management
• Great audio quality
• Great mic coverage/pickup for small to medium rooms (huddle rooms)
• Built in wireless share capabilities
• Webex Integration
• Consistent user experience (compared to other Cisco room systems)
• Can be used with other platforms

• Currently no video presentation on external HDMI screen

I gave Cisco Room Phone this usability rating because, in my opinion, Cisco Room Phones are ok for everyday work

We have not had any issues with the device, but expect support to be as good as Cisco always has been for us.

The Cisco Room Phone is much better than most of its competitors because it leverages the use of Cloud features. Others vendor requires the use of an on-premises system to work out. Other advantage is to power up using an ethernet cable with PoE (power over ethernet), thus eliminating the need for power supplies.

Incentivized

• Less need of AV Integration
• 360 degree of coverage
• Easy to use
