Overall Satisfaction with AVI-SPL

AVI-SPL has installed AV technology (Crestron-based display systems) in classrooms and conference rooms within a new building at UCLA.
  • Equipment works as expected most of the time.
  • AVI-SPL provides poor, but adequate customer service.
  • Staff members are very hard to reach via email.
  • We have ongoing issues with the AV in our classrooms and conference rooms that AVI-SPL refuses to address or take responsibility for.
  • AVI-SPL is, in general, frustrating to work with.
  • Delivered classroom AV fails often enough that the entire system can't be relied on. I would describe our entire classroom AV system as a "lemon".
Technicians themselves are often very good and fix immediate issues. But, we have had very little luck getting AVI-SPL as a whole to address the true cause of our ongoing issues.

Based on my experience working with AVI-SPL over the past 9 years, I would absolutely never recommend AVI-SPL to anyone who had the option of going with another vendor.
