    Great platform for a flexible office space company. However, as our company continues to grow, it may be interesting to see how scalable the platform is with the growth. Right now, each account is managed separately and we really should be able to consolidate that much more effectively.

    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.

    Cons
    essensys plc
    • Integrations: I wish that there were more integrations with other business software.
    • Invoicing: The company often does not send invoices in time and we are forced to contact them.
    • Auditing: Would be great if we could get a consolidated audit report across all locations instead of one per account.

    • 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.

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

    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.

    • 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
