Cisco Spaces

Our primary use case for Cisco Spaces it correlate information for problems in our environment. Giving us location and density information for our users in a location that helps paint a better diagnostic picture of the location. Seeing an access point with 50 users associated with it and then seeing it on a map. Often times realizing that we add another AP in a space that users are actually in (filling the gaps) allows a visual feed back to the situation beyond the data and what the users are telling us (If anything).

• Positive impact on physical security and location of problem devices.
• Negative that on our scale with a small staff it is hard to really leverage all the features.

We use Cisco Spaces to gain real-time visibility and intelligence across our office Wi-Fi infrastructure. It helps us monitor device presence our terminals. The platform centralizes analytics and automation, which significantly reduces troubleshooting time. I like the design and simplicity to showcase the monitoring to management. It's perfect Cisco Meraki add-on.

• Cisco Spaces is free to use now, hope it will remain
• Using Cisco Meraki was a good choice. Meraki vison and Cisco Spaces are excellent add-on
• ROI on my time invested is good

We use it to deliver smart workspaces use case - display room level occupancy, environmental metrics, floor level occupancy, all combined on a digital signage. It hels use increase employee in-office experience on one hand, and improve operations efficiency on the other hand.

• Improved employee experience in the office (finding available meeting rooms)

In healthcare and other environments, Cisco Spaces can be very useful to locate devices, check availability of a meeting room and track the amount of people in a room. Asset tracking is mandatory with today’s medical equipment since they’re being moved and used by different people. But also in other type of use cases.

• Visibility
