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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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 being used for room bookings as well as wayfinding in our organization. The major business problem it has resolved is the ability to find available conference rooms on the fly as well as their locations and booking with one click. Prior to using Robin, our users spent a lot of time walking around looking for rooms and collaboration spaces.
- Booking is very simple. The ability to book upcoming and on the fly meetings is valuable to our business.
- Easy to use interface from desktop and mobile with a very low learning curve.
- Lots of usage data for us admins to use for space planning and usage.
- The Robin Maps application can use some help from a visual perspective. Would be nice to have a three-dimensional map option. The product is still young so has some places for growth.
- Calendaring is still not up to par with G-Suite and/or Outlook. I would like to see more emphasis placed on becoming the sole calendaring tool for users.
