Skedda vs. Zoom Rooms

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.

Call quality is generally good with few issues, so everyday calls where Zoom is at its best are always good. In larger meetings with many action points, the AI summary can do a very good job of capturing the most important points. I find the room booking tool to be a nightmare and very inconsistent. Rooms take some time to book and are often rejected for no clear reason.

• the clear and accurate map of the space
• different filters (grid, day, map) for different users
• being able to build a questionnaire within the booking form
• giving people easy access to log-in
• the amount of control you can have over what your users see

• Provides an AI transcript of the call, and includes talking points, action items, and other ways to mark up the transcript.
• Access to "Zoom Rooms' is a great tool for large groups to work virtually off-site and then report back in for feedback.
• Zoom provides connections via phone or internet using a wide range of toll-free numbers. I have called in via my cell, and while the network support is often too weak to allow for video, the audio is great.

• 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.

• Support is prompt, but not always the most immediately knowledgable or helpful.
• Admin portal is convoluted. There's gotta be a better way to assign scheduling permisissions.
• Zoom account managers are constantly being reassigned. It is nearly impossible to keep track of who presently is our account manager. When we were going through the process of looking into Zoom Phone, our manager was literally switched twice, resulting in us working with three total managers during that two-month process.

great system, flexible, fast and supportive

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

User friendliness (experience very similar to the already familiar Zoom app), consistency of the UX across locations and manufacturers. Screen sharing is made super easy (proximity). Zoom rooms support strategic needs for Hybrid work and reduced travels. Backend admin interface is simple (that's good) and provides useful dashboards for trend analysis.

The response time is extremely quick and the video responses are great to refer back to.

For a non tech person more training on the in-depth functionality would be appreciated and 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.

I personally think Zoom Rooms is superior to Teams. I have setup 3 or 4 Zooms Rooms for my organisation and it is pretty straightforward to do without any formal training or education on Zoom Rooms. My experience with Teams was the opposite. A horrible interface and options deliberately hidden away in menus levels deep. On top of which, Zoom Room outperforms Teams Rooms in both video and audio. On the desktop, Teams is a bloated app whereas, in my experience, Zoom Rooms works well.

• 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

• Great value for money as used it more than planned after installation.
• Finding the use of screen share and whiteboards is becoming very popular and meant we wanted a larger screen for this. ;-)
