Condeco vs Four Winds Interactive

Likelihood to Recommend

As opposed to other systems, Condeco Meeting Room Booking us good when making changes to an existing meeting.
Its ability to end a meeting earlier and just use the room panel to clear the appointment is a welcome addition, and the panels were a breeze to set up, which is also a bonus.

If you want to create an elaborate, multi-leveled kiosk for your organization, Four Winds Interactive Content Manager Desktop can definitely do that for you. Just know going in that it's not the easiest to operate, and definitely devote time to training. Definitely have a couple of people go through this training, so it's not just one person in your organization that can operate Four Winds.

Pros

One can book the meeting room on the fly and it will be shown on the Condeco panel. further it will be started or else it will be dropped from the meeting room as well as from Outlook. This ensures proper resource utilization.
Meetings can be created from the panel as well, so there's no need to go to the workplace and book a meeting, which saves time.
Condeco Enterprise manages both events as well as visitors, which have audit features as well which ensures data integrity as it handles payments and costs.

The FWi platform handles very complex or unique situations better than other signage solutions. They support every standard type of data and web service, and through a supplemental Integration Framework product they can support almost anything out there... or things that aren't even out there yet.
Their support and assistance has gotten very good over the years; I'd say it is now excellent. Their team of sign builders and engineers have advanced knowledge of the product and how it can be used; you won't get a "did you try restarting it?" when dealing with them.

Cons

Condeco's system defaults to booking for the next day. I defaulted to same-day booking so that if I am in a hurry, I don't accidentally book it for the next day (it has happened before).

When working with a large installation the amount of mouse clicking and dragging and setting of settings and make your hand a bit sore but the modular component setup of this software demands a lot of settings.
As a custom software designer myself I would like to see more group effective operations so I could effect a change at a property level instead of an individual player level.
Upgrading to a new version of the software I have left to the experts at FWI because it is rather complex. They state they are working on better ways to perform large upgrades.

Condeco 8.0

Based on 2 answers

Support was helpful and knowledgeable but based overseas (very common for us here in Australia), which made it challenging to manage timezones.

Alternatives Considered

There are many meeting room booking products available in the market, such as Skedda, Calanderwiz, etc., and all are providing similar facilities as Condeco. However, the Condeco panels are a unique feature, which is installed outside of the meeting room. The Led screen shows the meeting timeline, with features of meeting booking and editing as well. Overall, it is one of the best product available in the market.

Simply put, FWi outperforms just about any other software solution by being more adaptable and more reliable, while being competitively priced for its class (top shelf). It's not as cheap as using "free" signage software that's in the cloud, or built into display screens (LG), but if you plan on doing more than running slides and you plan on doing it in multiple locations and screens, this is the platform to do it on - especially if your venues and needs vary across the network.
