They did not listen to the design process at all. I showed them the existing room that I wanted to be mimicked and they disregarded and designed something that was not at all what we needed so that they could come in cheaper and secure the bid. At the end of the project, they would not replace the wrong hardware that they suggested in order for features that were specifically requested to work. We had to go out and purchase the hardware on our own and then pay our in-house developers to correct the coding that they did not get right. We fought this for over a year and ultimately decided to pay them rather than drag this out in court because we needed this classroom that had been down the whole time and we needed the source code that they created in order to correct their mistake and they would not release until payment was received. This was basically extortion.

  • Experience in designing AV solutions
  • Listening to customers
  • Correcting their own mistakes
  • Communication
  • Attitudes need to be corrected by project managers
If there were negative numbers I would absolutely use them here. I wish I could go below 0.
  • They ended up costing us more money to get what we needed than the other companies that ended up being cheaper.
  • Our classroom was down for over a year because of their inexperience and lack of follow up
After seeing how they install the equipment we denied the support coverage. I had no faith that they would be able to help us as a company at all.
They have not, they only made things worse.
I should have gone with the company that I was used to working with and had already designed and successfully installed our model classroom. This is the company that intentionally undercut by using subpar hardware that did not even work as requested.
Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued), Brave, Riskonnect
We fired them after the install. They were never capable of getting the system working correctly so we fired them and hired more competent people.

There was about 5 people that corrected and supported the AVI-SPL system. They had AV and PC skills that outperformed AVI-SPL.
  • Teaching
  • Conferencing
  • Presentations
  • We have not been able to use their system as it was never working properly
  • We will never use them in the future.
I wish there was negative numbers here. We fired them and will never renew their services.

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
They made sure that they were the cheapest to get the job by using equipment that would not work at all for the scope that I gave them.
I would not have given them the quote of a competitor in order for them to select cheaper equipment. They wanted this so that they did not have to spend as much time onsite looking into the existing classroom since their competitor had already spent the time and designed a solution that worked based off of the company that installed the original classroom that was working properly and was to be the model of all future classrooms.

We were not at all satisfied. We had to hire another company to go behind them to get it to work.

It was not at all configurable.
It would be best practice to stay away from this company.

No, after a year they never even got the install right.
No
Lol
They had us replace the PC three times stating that the PSU was not strong enough to power the USB bus. The last PC had a 1500w PSU. The USB devices kept not working because they had too many USB devices connected. We had to hire another company to come out and fix this mistake as well. They redesigned the solution to get the features that we requested from the beginning and something that would work correctly.
  • None
  • Everything
  • Every time you turn on the system you would cross your fingers. Sometimes it was the microphones that did not work, sometimes the speakers, touchscreen, cameras, lapel mic, monitors. It was always something until we paid someone to come in behind them to correct their mistakes.
No
The system was not scalable with the hardware they ordered.
They took over a year to get our classroom together and it still did not work.
Cannot stay enough to stay away from these people.

Extremely easy to work with during the sales process. They made all sorts of promises that was never delivered.
They were extremely difficult to work with after the sale. The project manager was extremely pushy and tried to get me to sign off on the job for months when it was never completed. There was broken equipment and code and he still tried to bully me into signing the completion form.
They were not at all professional.

I work with AVI-SPL in many different ways. Sales, service, maintenance, and new projects. I just learned AVI-SPL is a big company all over the world. They always pushing above and beyond their services. Today, I know They work hard to provide products that are limited due to COVID. But in the end, AVI-SPL is always there and provides service when I need them.
  • Sale dept when I don't need service but buy products. They always ship any products such as Extron. I get them fast and easy.
  • Service call, when something is broken, they schedule fast within 5 days. Minimum downtime in the university classroom.
  • Communication, They always response my email and phone call.
  • For any new projects, I know it is a tough job for them to develop the scope of work or quotes for any new projects. An estimator from AVI-SPL needs to work closely with the engineer/others to help to develop the project plan.
  • When comes to new projects plan, AVI-SPL is weak in this field due to a lack of teamwork. They should be ready to answer my questions instead of waiting for someone in the engineering dept or sales dept to get an answer a week later or sometime a few weeks later. AVI-SPL Project leader should work closely with team members.
Sales dept, I always put down 10, They never fail me. I always get them fast. When any products missing or break or stop working. They contact direct to mfg fast and got them repaired or replaced. That is A+ and saved my time. Maintenance and service, they always on time and very professional. Most of the time, they got the jobs done on the same day. Important that I provided info and any problem that I can think of so AVI-SPL can send the right person for this job. Why number 8 on a scale? New projects that AVI-SPL is weak in this field and needs to improve.
  • I have no negative in return//ROI. I always appreciation their hard work in Sales dept.
  • I can't blame AVI-SPL for the low supplies due to COVID but I know they are doing their best and gave me an honest answer for shipping time. Every week, they keep checking with their mfg for delivery date.
I use the help desk for service calls a few times. I don't like the look of the website (Help Desk), they are hard to read or try to figure out what they try to tell me. Need to be more friendly and easy to read like the ServiceNow app. When I got comments or any updates, their help desk send separate notes. I prefer to keep it all in one place and easy to find past history.
AVI-SPL helped to get the products that I need for Hyflex/hybrid. Also, they provided info on how fully remote works. Believe it or not. I learned that from YouTube posted by AVI-SPL " AVISPLinfo". I wished they can do more of that. This will be nice if they can set up in different categories such as education, business, etc.
Design, build and run University classrooms, meeting rooms, auditorium, ballroom, hotel, and conference rooms.

There are 4 people in Media Team (A/V support) at our University. The media team is able to do simple troubleshooting, small repairs, etc. If not possible to repair or make it work by the media team, then I make a service call to SPL-AVI for their support.

Yes and No. Depending what system for training.
