    N/A - Our parent company decided on implementing Robin above all other alternative applications, and I am personably unaware of any alternatives. And though there are some minor changes I may suggest, the integration and simplicity of Robin makes me wonder if there could be a …

    When we started with Robin, we looked at the Evoko Liso as far as a hardware and software solution. Robin was much more compatible with the software we wanted and offered much more customization at less cost. I looked at other software solutions and nothing integrated as well …

    In terms of meeting room booking platforms, I compare Robin to Condeco, which I used previously. Condeco (at the time at least) ran on proprietary hardware, which was a nightmare to manage compared to the ease of use with Robin running on iPads. iPads are easily swapped out and …

    We were a longtime customer of Teem at our current organization and I used it at a former employer. Being a greater Boston based company we liked that we were close to Robin's HQ. This gave us face-time with the owners and our account executives. Aside from that, Robin was …

    We only used Robin for room/meeting management. We recently transitioned to Zoom video conferencing, and they have enough room/meeting management features that we no longer need Robin. Robin does more, like dashboards, and many other features, but we never leveraged them.

    While all of these do essentially the same thing, Robin stands out in its simplicity. The main display has a colored overlay that informs users of the room status, whereas, with a system like Teem, this can be overlooked depending on the chosen theme.

    Robin has a lot more functionality currently, although I suspect Zoom's version will eventually be just as good at a much lower price point.

    Unlike Fishbowl, Robin was available on the Kindle App Store and was also much more configurable.

    Meet Joan was interesting but given that it runs on its own proprietary hardware, there was a committed investment in testing it. Having an app which runs on multiple platforms, …

    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!

    Pros
    Robin
    • 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.

    Cons
    Robin
    • 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.

    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.
