Robin vs. Roomzilla

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.

great for recurring meetings on a weekly basis when we don't have to schedule it every week - automatic feature is great. ALso like how it describves the different features each room has with photo. Filters for choosing words is great too as we can see what tech is available in each room

• 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.

• Shows how many seats the room accommodates, what AV equipment it has, and a picture.
• Allows you to check in or end the meeting early.
• Suggests conference rooms for particular times, based on what's already been booked.
• Can integrate with Google Calendar.

• 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.

• When someone cancels a recurring or one-time meeting on Outlook, the reservation isn't removed on Roomzilla. It creates a two-step process for users when they reschedule meetings via Outlook.

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 gave it a 9 because Roomzilla is super easy to use—even as a first-time user, I found the interface really clear. I love that we can book rooms across different sites. For someone new to CIC, it’s really helpful that the rooms show the floor number and even have a map to find them easily. Just super practical overall!

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.

I didn't use any support for Roomzilla.

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.

It's easier to preview the room availability and co-coordinate between users from different organizations. It synchronises with tablets in each room allowing to confirm, schedule or cancel the meeting directly from the meeting room. Also allows to add multiple users and manage them from organisation level of different companies. Totally recommend.

• 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

Incentivized

• It has made our meetings more seamless since we don't have to spend time walking around looking for available space.
• I use it to schedule about 15 personal meetings/week.
