SpaceIQ by Eptura vs. Robin

SpaceIQ has been nothing but a positive for us. We have become so much more organized in our department and have only scratched the surface with what we can do with it. We are adding layers every week to improve our experience. Literally, the only thing I can think of that they could improve on is response time when it comes to customer service. We have loved SpaceIQ so far and I don't see that changing.

There is an option in our office to use a tablet outside of a meeting room to book a room (which is red when booked, green when not), and not sure if this is a Robin integration, but it would be great if there was a yellow for when there is 5 minutes left of a meeting. That being said, while this is super helpful, I see coworkers running around the office looking for a "green" room; and recommend they just use the Robin web app to avoid all the running around since they can view and book almost instantly!

• Flexibility for growth. The ability to add new spaces and locations is easy.
• SAML support is really easy to set up and very nice to use to get into the application quickly to find where someone is located.
• Customer Support is quick to respond and always makes sure that your issues and questions have been fully resolved.

• 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.

• More training and onboarding resources detailed on site to make it easier for new employees to learn the ins and outs of the site

• Sometimes the Robin app on iPad loses Wi-Fi connectivity for a few seconds (Wi-Fi is 100% working) but reconnects itself - no big deal
• Sometimes Robin Slack bot won't respond back to "what's available" but 99% it works ok
• The earlier version of iPad app drained batter too quickly (it didn't save brightness setting) which was fixed and now works well

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 haven't had any issues with the software to date.

Envoy support has always been a joy to work it, whether you're going through the dashboard chat, or through your rep. I feel that they always have your success as their priority and it makes me confident that they'd be able to help overcome any obstacles.

Both of these companies have good space planning software solutions, but at the time we were exploring our options they were still building on what seemed to be an antiquated and bloated back-end that was not user-friendly compared to Space IQ. They had many more features than SpaceIQ could offer at the time, but SpaceIQ proved their ability to be agile and implement solutions faster than most tech companies I've worked with. At the time they were more of a startup, but I could see their promise, and we jumped in and have not regretted it one bit. They have continued to deliver innovative solutions even in areas where there were very few pain points. They continue to make things better and it's been great to work with them.

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 anyone.
