    Score8.7 out of 10
    N/AThe Cisco Room Series is a video conferencing solution that wakes up when users walk into a meeting room where it is installed and provides theater-quality voice and video, as well as content sharing from personal devices. For small to medium rooms with 6-8 people, there's Cisco Room 55, and for larger rooms of 7-14 people there's Cisco Room Kit (camera and codec in one device) and Cisco Kit Plus (separate codec plus and quad camera). Any of these systems can be run in the cloud or on-premises.N/A

    As a distributor, I don't really have the option to not choose this product, but I've used other vendors' products. They haven't seemed as well built in my opinion. And so I'd say the quality overall of the Cisco products is, I don't think it's matched.

    It's not the fairest stack up, since Logitech MeetUp or Rally are not autonomous devices but accessories to a computer or similar device. Besides, the user experience is not even close to any Cisco device.Logitech really becomes an alternative as a cheaper tool, particularly …

    The Webex Room Kit is without a doubt a much higher quality experience with audio and video. Especially with the recent enablement of USB passthrough mode in certain models, there is almost no comparison. Cisco has committed to the Room Kit being an open solution that will …
