Advanced way of booking desks in advance.
My organization has been using Robin for meetings and organizing our work environment for a while now. We use it to book conference rooms and it gives us an automated view of available rooms and the available resources in the rooms. Apart from booking meeting rooms, Robin has been effective in arranging our workspace; one is able to easily reserve a desk and once a desk has been booked or one has been freed, it updates immediately on the office map.
- Automated visibility of the office.
- Real time view of conference rooms.
- We are able to easily plan teams and book desks beforehand.
- Alerts on arrival of visitors.
- There was a time when it had glitches; I wanted to confirm my but got cancelled rather than being confirmed.
- Clarity for when checking in and checking out.

Robin is a reliable and easy to use product. I would highly recommend for all types of organizations!
We use Robin for signage all throughout our buildings. This product is very reliable and easy to use, and it allows for a much easier way to keep track of what meetings are scheduled in each room. It has been a very good upgrade for our organization, and we will continue to use it.
- Clear signage
- Easy to use
- Updates in real time
- Can lag on some updates
- More functionality would be nice
- Updates happen too slow

Enjoying Easy Meeting
Is used in our company for keeping track of current conference rooms to help schedule conference rooms between departments such as HR departments, Purchasing Department, and Financial Department ...... etc. use as well as presenting an aesthetically pleasing display to our customers. Robin also is all about scheduling access to shared rooms and offices. Great to optimize the workspace with the current situation.
- Easy to find what's available
- Easy to use
- Office maps are sometimes difficult to navigate by mobile phone.
- Lose your reservation if you forgot to check-in.

Robin is Fantastic
I use Robin to book rooms for important meetings with clients as well as team members.
- Robin shows the floor(s) layout at my building very clearly.
- Robin shows which areas are booked up and which are available in a very easy to see fashion.
- Robin makes reserving spaces easy as can be.
- I have yet to see an area where Robin needs improvement. I think any large company, especially those with multiple floors, should use this software.

Great experience to interact with this platform.
Robin provides the best user interface and experience as compared to other apps like Zoom, Teams, etc. We use Robin in our organization to conduct meetings and conferences. It is a handy tool and provides a better experience. One problem that this software addresses is making the decision of how many rooms and the size of each room that is needed to better serve the members.
- Conference room check-in
- Automatically updates to the new version when launches
- Easy to setup
- Cloud based system requiring no infrastructure
- Some add-ons and features are overly priced
- Price for professional version is $1,500 which is expensive
- No free version available
- Less used product in the market
We use Robin as a workplace management platform, to allow employees to book and reserve office space, both for individual usage or for booking shared spaces and meeting rooms. The product replaced a comparatively clunky internal system that was hard to interpret and time-consuming to use. Robin is quick, easy, with good visualisations to help the process work more smoothly and intuitively.
- Excellent visualisation of booking space
- Good ability to group team members for collaborative working
- Efficient system for the booking of shared workspaces
- Provides at-a-glance view on office capacity
- Team working elements are slightly limited in scope
- It can be challenging to benefit from all collaborative elements when working across multiple teams

Easy to use, good to look at conference room display
Robin is used in our organization for keeping track of current conference room use as well as present an aesthetically pleasing display. When people wanted to use conference rooms and the rooms were in use, it allows them to see in the room who is using the room and what other rooms are available.
- Interfaces with Office365
- Aesthetically pleasing look
- Easily customizable
- A little more customization options as far as font sizes, colors.

As easy as ABC
After COVID-19 my organization adopted this software to manage and keep track the resources and assignment of workspaces along with shared spaces like meeting and conference rooms. People across multiple locations use it to book working space and the conference room.
- Management of meeting/conference room
- Assignment of workspace/desks
- Maintain history of resource assignments
- Over the mobile phone sometime it feels difficult to move around the office maps

Go-to companion for everything related to the office
Robin is used as a Meeting Room management system throughout our company. The solution is integrated with various meeting rooms throughout our office and is also used as the login system outside the rooms themselves. Consequently, Robin has streamlined the office management for employee and acts as a first port of call for all things office admin related.
- Very intuitive UI which is easy to pick up as a new user
- Well integrated with company people database making invites easy
- Additional features like analytics are always interesting to check
- Due to our organisations size can sometimes be a little slow to load
- Search could be more semantic i.e. room for 3 at 12PM loads such a room instead of just the room name
- Lacking integrations with video conferencing

- Easy to use
- Very short time to reserve desks
- I think there could more colors
- I think the UI could be overall more appealing

What I like about Robin
We use Robin to manage offices/rooms in our shared office space at Nest.Bio. This has been very helpful the last several months with the added restrictions due to the pandemic. Particularly helpful is the ability to reserve several days in advance and also to reserve a room on a recurring schedule. Reminders of upcoming reservations are helpful.
- Easy to find what is available
- Easy to include colleagues on reservations
- Reservations can be made days in advance
- Need alerts for the end of reservations for those who lose track of time
- Losing my reservation if I forget to check-in is annoying

Robin is awesome!
We are in a multi-level building with shared meeting rooms. Robin is used to book these meeting rooms in advance or in an as-needed arrangement. Tablets are set up outside the meeting rooms to show the status and the online dashboard allows individuals to book and control their meeting requirements.
- Minimal clicks to make a booking
- Easily manage future bookings
- Great online dashboard
- Better use of room maps
- Alerts when available rooms are down to 10%

Robin - Easy, efficient!
My team and I use the flexible workspace often in our office and by using Robin we are able to book a room in a minute or less. I also love that it syncs to my Google calendar and I can add team members through the Robin platform. Quick and efficient!
- Quick
- Calendar Sync
- Add team members

It is used across the whole organization. It allows us to view and manage meeting and collaboration spaces
- Easy and quick to view available spaces
- Provides information on the capacity and capability of each space
- Easy to schedule spaces
- Frustrating that if you forget to manually check in when you enter a meeting space, your reservation gets cancelled.

Ease of Use, Efficiency, and Reliability!
We use Robin in our shared coworking space for Room bookings. The entire organization uses it to efficiently reserve physical spaces in our shared office, about 13 different companies.
- Ease-of-use. So simple and fast to book.
- Reliable integration with physical space. Never have had any errors with Robin, not even once.
- Collaboration. Ability to operate independently but also effectively track all other users.
- I have no suggestions for improvements on Robin at the moment, it works exactly the way it needs to for our organization.

Great user experience
It is being used by the company to book desks and monitor office capacity during COVID. Also, as a room/meeting booking tool. The application is being used company-wide and is the method we use to book desks and meeting rooms every day. A business problem that it addresses is being a quick and mobile application to book and share meetings on the go.
- Usability
- Support
- User experience
- Menu design/map creation

Excellent Customer Service, New Features
We use Robin primarily for conference room booking management at all of our leased office locations. It is used by employees across the entire organization in all departments. Recently we started using the desk booking and space planning modules to help us get away from using a spreadsheet to track seating assignments. We also used the distance planning feature of the space planning module to help us configure our floor plans for our post-COVID return to the office.
- Customer Support - I have personally had great experiences with the sales and implementation folks.
- Research - I have personally been asked to attend a user focus group to help improve their product.
- Compatibility- The product can integrate with almost anything you can imagine, but mainly it is easy to connect with Calendaring platforms and occupancy sensor technology.
- Refinement of new features - space planning module is fairly basic compared to competitors
- UX/GUI - the interface is clean and simple, but a richer experience is needed in the area of space planning /wayfinding

Robin - always have desk space when needed
Robin is currently being used by all the health care surveyors who need "hotel" space when it is necessary to be on site in the Marlborough office. Robin software has made scheduling desk space so much easier than it had been done in the past since it is web based and can be accessed from any device.
- Web based - accessible from any device.
- Easy to either cancel or change scheduling when necessary.
- Able to schedule out for months in advance for space needed.
- Not being able to cancel one day if you reserved your days needed as a block.

Robin Check-In and Kiosk
Robin is being used globally by our organization. We primarily use the conference room booking product along with the kiosk product. Employees use Robin to find, book, and confirm check-ins to rooms.
- Keeping the product up to date. Robin uses a method I have yet to see another company use where their iOS application will update without intervention in MDM software or the App Store. Install once and you'll never need to update again.
- Analytics. Robin has provided us with insight and analytics to the nuances of our organization. This information has helped us with our growth and assisted our team with making data-driven decisions.
- Slower innovation. Robin was ahead of their time and it's shown in their product. Having used it for the past three years I haven't seen much innovation in the product.
- At times it can be stressful and unintuitive to use the web UI as an administrator. There are some tasks that are common that take upwards of 3 to 4 clicks to get to, and when you're done saving, you have to go back to the beginning to start over.

Hot Desk Efficiency
It is being used by the organization as a whole. Basically, we have always allowed our employees to work remotely, but we do have a small office in central Tokyo. In this office we have a small number of seats in which anyone is allowed to use on a first come first serve basis. Essentially hot desks. So, we had an issue where people were not coming to the office for fear of not having a seat. Robin solved this.
- Setup
- Training
- Implementation
- Visual Appeal

Great Software!
We use Robin for our conference room bookings at our office, across the whole organization. The room booking capability helps with scheduling conflicts and proper communication for scheduling. We also display available rooms on our TV monitors around the office, so that employees can quickly check if a room is available, before walking over to the conference rooms.
- Tablet displays for each room are a very helpful tool. It's great to quickly see if the room is available, as well as when a room will be available.
- We've begun implementing the room booting tool, that cancels meetings that people don't check into. This has really helped with rooms being left empty due to canceled meetings and no shows.
- The Robin status board is also super helpful. As I said earlier, we have them displayed on our TV's so that employees can check before walking to the conference rooms.
- I've previously run into issues with canceling meetings booked in Robin. Sometimes the event will be canceled, but the room will still appear as booked.
- The status boards sometimes buffer for a while before displaying, not sure if that's an issue with our wifi or with the software.
- I find the dashboard for Robin hard to navigate, I think there are too many tabs. It could be simpler.

Great for Google shops with limited conference rooms.
We, in IT, used Robin for room management in multiple of our offices. Users used iPads to check-in and out of meetings. This freed up rooms that were not in use as there is only a limited amount of conference rooms.
- Check-In/Out via multiple ways. Room tablet, Slack, Robin App.
- Google Calendar integration
- Drawing on floor plans to make room shapes. The default should be square and THEN change to odd angles. Instead of having SO much support for odd shapes, you can't easily adjust a square to the right size and keep straight lines.
- Price could be better.

You really can't go wrong with Robin
We are currently using Robin for our conference room scheduling displays. We run the software on Apple iPad Airs. We have rolled this system out across our four main campuses, with a total of about 50 units deployed. The system allows users to easily see room booking status and empowers them to make ad-hoc reservations for available rooms.
- Easy to understand UI.
- Very easy to deploy.
- Room usage analytics can be helpful.
- Web dashboard could be organized a little better.
- It would be nice to be able to see what display battery levels are.
- Viewing schedules via dashboard is slow.
- Some roles do not have the features the descriptions say they do.

Robin is the way to go!
We use Robin in conf rooms at our corporate facility. It works very well, letting people know when rooms are vacant or being used.
- O365 integration
- Conf room management
- For what it does, there isn’t anything that it needs to do differently
