Likelihood to Recommend 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
Read full review It is good for office use for keeping track of meetings and various important events. It is very nice to share a calendar with the whole team and the whole team has access to it, everyone can modify and update events. Furthermore, it is less appropriate when you use it on mobile, and it also cannot record the meetings.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review I can see that Zoho Calendar allows for multiple tab use which seemed to be a rare and useful function to have. I like how the search function is advanced and you can put specific info to find what you require. I like the visual freedom the app gives in terms of the day, month, and workdays, 2-month views, and selecting colours as well, etc. Read full review Cons 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.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.

Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Once the meeting is created on the Zoho calendar, you don't need to remind invitees to join the meeting at a particular time or day. Zoho calendar does that for you. If any invitees are unable to join the meeting, they can ask for a different time prior to that meeting. Sometimes if many meetings are in the pipeline then there can be overlap. Read full review ScreenShots Zoho Calendar Screenshots
