Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Spaces

Primary use case is for space occupancy. We're using Cisco Spaces to monitor and measure floor occupancy based on Wi-FI data, for individual meeting rooms we are also using it to visualize and display current occupancy. Cisco Spaces is also integrated with our Meraki Dashboard, so environmental sensor data for all offices is displayed in the digital rich map.

Pros

  • Visualize occupancy of meeting rooms
  • Visualize environmental conditions for individual offices
  • Display analytics and reporting for occupancy based data

Cons

  • Compatibility with 3rd party sensors
  • Unification of capabilities regardless of source of occupancy data
  • Robustness
  • Allows to optimize amount and size of meeting rooms
  • Allows us to locate expensive equipment withing seconds
Location analytics shows us where majority of people hand out during breaks. And which hot desk stations are the most popular and occupied during the week. This input data allowed us much better planning for the future office layout and gave us clear guidelines how we should plan meeting rooms in the future.
Integration provides exchanged data all in one place. For Meraki Dashboard example, getting environmental data into the spaces rich map, allows us to display the relevant conditions like temperature, air quality, CO2 levels directly in the interactive floor map. For Integration with the Webex Control Hub, it is sort of essential to make things really work well (occupancy data from Webex device is then transferred into Cisco Spaces through this integration.
Insights have been limited to our employees as our customers do not visit our premises. For employees, finding specific equipment, where it was left, sometimes really simplifies the search and reduces time needed to locate it.
On more expensive pieces of equipment we have attached the TAGs, which allows to quickly locate demo switch or router, that is many times used by different engineers and teams.

Do you think Cisco Spaces delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Cisco Spaces's feature set?

Yes

Did Cisco Spaces live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Cisco Spaces go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cisco Spaces again?

Yes

Cisco Spaces works very well in environment which utilize Cisco infrastructure for wireless and collaboration devices. Its support for 3rd party sensors is improving, but would still like to see it better. Beside occupancy use case, it works very well also for location services, locating equipment and people withing the infrastructure.

Using Cisco Spaces

3 - HR/admin is using the tool to understand how offices are occupied during the week. She is not only interested in the overall number of employees present in the building, but also understanding how people working from the office are leveraging meeting rooms.

Head of IT is piloting device tracking functions for demo equipment that is being used by several different engineers.


2 - Two network engineers, one being the primary SME, focusing on Spaces heavily, while the second engineer shadows the process most of the time.
For location tracking functions wifi background helps heavily. Also being familiar with the Meraki dashboard is a plus, since we leverage some of the Meraki sensors as well.

  • Occupancy
  • Location tracking
  • Overview of environmental monitoring
  • Utilization data helps planning also the amount of food that is ordered each day for the office.
  • Indoor navigation
There is a strong commit from the management team to continue our investment into Spaces. We are currenly looking into options how to expand occupancy visibility into all meeting rooms (also those without collaboration device deployed) to gather even more granular real time data for all meetings rooms. So based on recent discussions I don't see the reasons, why we wouldn't proceed with the Spaces adoption.
