Crestron Fusion vs. Skedda

The Crestron Fusion software is best for a site that has a Crestron Programmer onsite to configure and maintain said system. It works well but needs to have someone keep up on changes or additions. Any environment where you don't have a Crestron expert onsite could be cost prohibitive, as your data would be inaccurate after every upgrade, unless you built the cost into the upgrade

It is really well suited for managing either desks and meeting rooms, or resources. It was really important for us that equipment could be included as bookable items because we can then track who has them - where and when. The self-service nature of bookings allows everyone to manage their own time.

• Fusion is the main infrastructure for the Crestron Ecosystem and a result is a key components
• It has a decent ui and is easy to group and find assets. We arrange things by classroom.

Incentivized

• the clear and accurate map of the space
• different filters (grid, day, map) for different users
• being able to build a questionnaire within the booking form
• giving people easy access to log-in
• the amount of control you can have over what your users see

• It requires a lot of understanding to set up for metrics. You really have to put what you want to measure into the code of each room so it can report back. It is cumbersome to add in a new metric.
• It just seems like it can be easier to have the equipment autopopulate and do standard reporting and control without having to build each of it for each piece of equipment.

• Only one account can be setup as the overall owner of the system with control to adjust key settings. It would be good if more than one owner could be assigned to spread out the workload, without the need to for a shared account.

great system, flexible, fast and supportive

For a non-tech person, it isn't clear to me how to create and use tags. Some instruction/training would be useful.

The response time is extremely quick and the video responses are great to refer back to.

For a non tech person more training on the in-depth functionality would be appreciated and useful.

At the time Crestron fusion was the only software that would integrate well with the Crestron systems. Since we are fully Crestron site we needed a program that would help us to maintain and monitor all things Crestron.

Skedda is much more comprehensive than these products and has infinitely more controls and options than Survey Monkey or Google Surveys. It would be difficult to implement either platform for the scale of reservations and scheduling we are currently using Skedda for and would make saving user information much more time-consuming for the staff of our organization.

• Fusion has helped us make decisions on what types of equipment is being used in each room. It helped us eliminate parts not being used and saving us money in design and supportability.
• It has also helped us in that each morning we scan for what systems need attention. This has helped us create a much higher uptime.

Incentivized

• we have been able to increase the amount of people using the spaces - from 20 companies a week, to up to 30 because we gave people the power to book
• employees don't have to keep checking emails from people asking about availability - users can just see this for themselves so this saved us a lot of time and workload
