Logitech Rally vs. Microsoft Azure IoT Hub

This is the first time I have implemented a room video conferencing solution that didn't feel like torture. Right away from the unboxing of the equipment and the clear instructions I was satisfied. The full Teams Room kit had multiple options for cabling and detailed configuration options. It immediately connected to our Office 365 environment and we were live very quickly. We had one hiccup with the pass through on the Tap system but there was a firmware update available already that resolved it immediately.

We are using the Azure IOT hub for solving the multitenancy problem within our research project. We are consuming data from various resources and communicating it with different devices on our hybrid cloud. We also use Azure IoT as a bridge between two business Intelligence sources which are really hard to connect devices.

Incentivized

• Easy to use
• Screen sharing
• Video pass through

Incentivized

• Massive registration and deployment of new devices.
• Easy integration with other Azure services.
• Handling security if devices.

Incentivized

• Better sized equipment for smaller rooms (portable?)
• More flexibility to share the device (without Tap)
• Better automatic zooming.

Incentivized

• Hardware and embedded integration could improve or be at parity with competitor.
• Pricing model not as flexible as competitor.

Incentivized

Azure IoT support professionals are strong, and always provide timely responses. Vast documentation and examples are available, plus a network of professionals in the market. It's very comparable to the main competitor offer, and easily integrated into the main Azure product offer. Azure IoT is not a new solution, so it is very mature and support can easily address any day to day or architectural concern you have.

The Rally units are a significant improvement on the Dolby units, providing a more capable interface with better screen sharing capabilities. The units are significantly cheaper than the Cisco units, however they do not offer the remote management capabilities of the Cisco units.

Incentivized

We require Azure integration, data security and simple development. IoT Hub ticked all those boxes.

Incentivized

• During COVID it has allowed us to link rooms together.
• Allowed us to make orientation easier to deliver.
• Allowed us to require less people delivering orientation by linking rooms together.

Incentivized

• As a student, we are using student program subscription which is cheaper than an individual or business subscription.
• Our school devices our efficiently communicating with each other which has increased the revenue of our school.
• It provides strong and robust cloud communication within the premises which also helped in increased in the school reputation.
