Overall Satisfaction with Archie

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently using Archie for managing desks, conference rooms and offices. Their system is easy to use and it's fully connected with microsoft so we can use it from there too. Overall I would say it fits our needs very well and personally I like their app.

Pros and Cons

Pros

You can customize the inventory in a lot of different ways
The floor plans are drag and drop, it still takes time to edit them but it's very easy
Managing user groups and what they can book is pretty straightforward

Cons

The mobile app is sleek in terms of design but usability is slightly below that of the web portal
Depending on the resource, booking by hour vs booking a full day requires an extra click

Return on Investment

It's easy to track who is at the office and when, everyone can align their schedule easily or book resources easily. Generally helps with keeping the office organized.

Usability

There isn't anything in particular that we are missing from Archie, the experience differs slightly across web, mobile, microsoft, but it's overall really good on all.

Key Insights

Do you think Archie delivers good value for the price?

Are you happy with Archie's feature set?

Yes

Did Archie live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Archie go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Archie again?

Yes

Likelihood to Recommend

Archie is great if you need to manage your entire office eg: how your team reserves a desk, how they book meeting rooms and so on. They don't sell any hardware so you'll have to get your own tablets if you need those for meeting rooms. I would say the experience is even better when embedded into teams/outlook.
