Logitech GROUP vs. Polycom Trio

When you don´t have enough budget to have a robust conference system, this solution can help you to have good quality video conferences with excellent audio quality and video quality, and the prices of these products are not so high comparing with other brands, I think is a perfect solution for mid enterprises

The Polycom Trio is a great tool for huddle rooms that don't rely as much on a responsive screen. There are better room controllers out there, but if you just need a good speaker and microphone combo in the traditional conference phone style then the Polycom trio is a good option.

• Lync/Skype Integration - The Trio can be used in an existing organization that regularly uses Skype for Business, it makes the user experience seamless.
• Phone Conferences - If you have the PBX Licenses installed, the phone can be used to dial out and receive phone calls inbound. Sound Clarity is very good.
• Video Conference - Fair video quality for using existing Skype for Business infrastructure.

• Design of the devices
• To many cables for conference systems

• It was frustrating to not be able to share a user's desktop in a Skype for Business meeting using the People+Content.
• From a design perspective, I don't like how the USB port is on the side. Now that we're running in Skype USB optimized mode, we are unable to hide the USB that connects to the SmartDock.
• I wish that it had a secondary option in addition to POE to provide power to the unit. Running one powered usb cable from the Smartdock to the trio would be ideal.

A well known product that most users are familiar with and simple enough for new users to learn and understand.

I think the technical support of Logitech GROUP is well when you have an issue you can call them. They answer you quickly, we only use this support a couple of times, because we don´t have many problems with these devices, the performance of these devices is outstanding.

We selected Logitech GROUP because the balance cost-benefit was excellent comparing with other vendors. We tried some devices before the purchase, and we discovered that the quality of these devices is excellent, the solutions are easy to handle for end users that don´t have technical skills in general terms is a good cheap solution.

Polycom Trio provides better conference call quality, picks up voice from corners of the room with additional mics for large room, better widescreen display, and it was mostly the user satisfaction which made us choose Polycom Trio.

• The balance cost-benefit is very good with these devices.
• You can have 3 Logitech GROUP devices at the same price of 1 robust conference system.

• Since we were really looking for a device that could provide Skype for Business Online services (web conferencing/video/audio/local screen presenting) at a reasonable price point, I cannot say that this device meets all of our needs. The device has to be at least 99.99% reliable. This is about 60% there. Audio is definitely in the 99% range. Local screen presenting is probably around 75%. Video and web conferencing is about 70%. To comfortably deploy a device in the wild you really need to have 99% reliability. It has to work when its needed. I can understand an occasional hiccup, but one every other day is a too many. If you are replacing older SoundStations with an IP or Skype based audio solution, then this is it.
