SpaceIQ by Eptura vs. Robin

SpaceIQ is good for a medium to large business where there are a lot of employees or multiple business offices. A small business probably won’t see the benefit of the product since locating an employee’s desks probably won’t be a difficult task.

Robin is my benchmark for room displays. It effectively does what it is meant to do without additional fluff. The default theme is more than you'll ever really need, but customization is available. I just really wish there was a simpler way to remove check-in requirements for events. I would always recommend them first for most situations, but my company has a special use case that Robin, or any other competitors for that matter, have not been able to achieve yet.

• New Hires and onboarding processes are accelerated greatly.
• It saves time and confusion and keeps the office running smoothly on all fronts.
• Sharing space is much easier when you know who is where and when they will be there (etc).

• The integration to GSuite calendars is fantastic. Very simple and straightforward.
• The ability to customize the interface a very nice feature to have in Robin, as it offers you to allow the UI to reflect the vibe/brand of your company, and not force its own brand on you.

Incentivized

• There isn't a ton to dislike about the software, but there are a few refinements and small touches regarding how the moves engine allows for future plans to be created and maintained that I'd like to see. These smaller things are more the cherry on top of an already delicious sundae.

Incentivized

• Cancelling out my reservation for the room if I miss the mark on check in.
• Not sure if it's a bug, but sometimes I have to repeat my reservation if I don't get it confirmed or have a notification of confirmation the first time.

It is easy to use and gives us all we need

Robin's UI is very well designed and modern which makes it a pleasure to use. Personally this a big factor for me enjoying a product and so I'm always happy to use Robin - moreover as a relatively new user the UI was quite quick to pick-up, whether that be using the online system or the Display app for rooms around the office.

I haven't had any issues with the software to date.

I have rarely had to contact customer support, but when I have, they have provided quick answers to solve the problem I was having. The software is pretty easy to use and not too buggy, so I really haven't had the occasion to contact them needing support. And no users have ever had issues.

We decided to go with SpaceIQ for several reasons. First was that the price point we were trying to meet for the features that we wanted was easily met. Also, they were a local company and we like to support fellow local companies in the silicon slopes community. Finally, they came highly recommended by other companies that we consulted about them.

N/A - Our parent company decided on implementing Robin above all other alternative applications, and I am personably unaware of any alternatives. And though there are some minor changes I may suggest, the integration and simplicity of Robin makes me wonder if there could be a better alternative, regardless.

• Time spent manually managing the input of new employees
• Time spent manually managing office-wide moves
• Strategic planning and forward thinking about our spaces

• No more meeting room conflicts, better office space management
• Booking a room literally takes 2 clicks, very easy and quick - saves time for more important things
• We bought a bunch of iPads to display meeting information on each room and we need to remember to charge them every night
