Robin

Avantages

Simple and clean design - I can see right away which desks are available.

Inconvénients

It doesn't feel intuitive. It took me a while to find the 'book multiple days' option. And even that requires me to tap on every single day instead of selecting multiple days easily. We also don't use Robin to book meeting rooms because it's hard to see in a calendar view at what times exactly a room is available.

Avantages

The thing I like about Robin is their products quality and well maintained service. They have helped us in regards to
Our operations management and helped reducing the time taken to manage and book services related to schedule and booking.

Inconvénients

No hard rule, but costs can be definitely improved.

Avantages

The UI is well designed. Responsive, easy to use.

Inconvénients

Importing floor plans is a real issue. In the event our facility underwent a renovation, you have to redo all the work you did in the first place. Re-assign desks and employee locations, etc.

Avantages

I love that you can plan ahead and book your desk in office so that when you come in you are not flustered trying to find and available desk to sit at. It makes planning to go into the office on a day to day basis very easy!

Inconvénients

I wish Robin would allow you to set a "home office" preference. I work at a company that has several office locations near me and I do go into all of the offices. I wish that when I reserved a desk at an office that isn't my usually office, that the next time i go to reserve a desk the program auto adjusts back to my home office without me having to scroll through the long list of available offices.

Avantages

What I really like is that you can have a different view in the rooms that can be booked, hence, you can view it as a schedule or you can view the rooms and see if they are blocked. The schedule gives you an overview on how long the room is blocked whereas the room view comes with colors which signfy the current satus of the room. This is perfect for a quick view.

Inconvénients

It would be great if there would be the possibility to view immediately, no matter from which view, if the room is occupied, for how long and by whom. There is a workaround to see who booked the room but I am quite sure that this could be made easier.

Avantages

Very efficient on booking rooms, stations and seeing the status of each room.

Inconvénients

Mobile could use a bit more refinement to navigate. Older people has gotten a bit overwhelmed.

Avantages

I love the ease of use, and how it allows me to schedule client meetings, book meeting rooms and watch my team's in-office productivity so easy.

Inconvénients

Ya know, there was not anything I did not like about Robin. I think that it's leading edge software.

Avantages

It is very clear and it makes easy to choose and reserve a space whether a desk or car-park.

Inconvénients

You need to check-in well in advance of your reservation or it will give away your space.

Avantages

Its excellent quality and easy to use feature

Inconvénients

Its little costly and can improve a bit for user

Avantages

The product is very well laid out. we use it for tracking personnel in the office and it is very intuitive

Inconvénients

we use Webex for our company meetings and there is no videoconferencing link for zoom

Avantages

I liked that it was secure and very easy to use.

Inconvénients

There is nothing that i disliked about the app.

Avantages

La facilidad de llevarme el trabajo a cualquier lugar donde me encuentre.

Inconvénients

que se debe de ampliar mas en amplia mas las operaciones para mejorar el indicador de la empresa.

Avantages

Robin has been the best office management solution under one platform.It has a friendly interface and was easily adapted by our employees. It has allowed our team to manage themselves and their work schedule when working in a hybrid setting.

Inconvénients

For the many times that I have used Robin to book my work desk , I am yet to have any issues or concerns regarding the functions of the platform. It works great!

Avantages

Very easy to use the app and it is intuitive. Everybody can use it.

Inconvénients

So far, I did not find something that I do not like. Thanks.

Avantages

Robin makes it easy for me and my team to book desks in advance when we all visit the office. We also can book a larger meeting room so that we can all arrive and work together when we do not want to work individually or need to have meetings.

Inconvénients

I do not have anything negative to say about Robin

Avantages

We are a global firm that has offices in over 10 countries. So having a centralized app to book meeting rooms, office/desk space is crucial. Since remote work is a large part of our business now, coming into the office for a day or two we need access to open desks/offices for planning purposes. The user interface is nice and clean, easy to use.

Inconvénients

I would say the name of the app doesn't really convey the purpose of what it does or the functionality.

Avantages

Robin provided great functionality to make desk reservation and helps finding the designated seats for particular teams in office. It also gives a great projection on who all are going to be available to plan some in person catchups with the peers.

Inconvénients

I liked the feature of Check-in but probably Robin options but people coming in different shift miss to mark the check-in on time and their seats usually get released .

Avantages

The layout is great, and very easy to use

Inconvénients

I have not come across any reasons to dislike it yet.

Avantages

At first I was sceptical as a new user but overtime have come to understand the capability of the program and it is a good tool for a project with a large turnover of staff.

Inconvénients

I feel that being able to have separate colours for pods/desks would be helpful for when staff are looking for their team area to book.

Avantages

The ease of use the Robin from desktop or mobile app to reserve the desks . We use it to book desks within our all three office locations due to hybrid work model.

Inconvénients

need an imrovement at desk reservations reports update time to time to find the list of employees who is booked the desks in advance.

Avantages

Easy to integrate in our environment, great customer service, and receptive to feedback about improving the product and implementing new features based on that feedback.

Inconvénients

Pricing could be more flexible such as opting out of certain features reduces the cost footprint

Avantages

The primary features of the system that we liked was that it was cloud based requiring no infrastructure to maintain and that it tied right in to exchange and did everything almost automatically. The ease and set up of the platform is very easy. Room setup and configuration again are very ease of use and not technical.

User adoption is fairly straight forward as well. We use Apple IPad mini's for our enviroment and the units pair with mounts from a third party look great outside of the rooms.

Inconvénients

Some of the additional features and add-ons we felt were a bit overly priced and would like to see more bundled options for all services without having to add significant investment into the stack of features. I would like to use the Desks, and other features, but the ROI or justification of cost could not be done for us at this time.

Avantages

Robin has the general best look and feel of all the apps we tried. Zoom, Teem, everything felt just emotionless, but Robin is really fun to use. The folks there really put an emphasis on user experience. Our coworkers are happy to use it because it doesn't feel like another stupid corporate software.
To optimize meeting room utilization, we enabled "abandoned meeting protection" - our users have to checkin, otherwise the room will be freed again. That's one of the best features in my opinion.

Inconvénients

We have dozens of ipads to roll out some days, also in different offices - I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't configure robin on multiple individual ipads using MDM - or perhaps I haven't understood how.

Pourquoi choisir Robin 

Pourquoi passer à Robin

Avantages

In our organization, our primary use case for Robin was conference room check-in. The thing I like the most about this product is the way it updates. We don't have to manage that using our MDM software. The software automatically updates to the latest version when it launches.

Inconvénients

While our team uses the kiosk application I think the design can seem less polished than others. It is also not true to scale like other software on the market. I think this is a fairly new product for Robin and probably a lesser used product that other companies. It does work well and I've seen improvements in the latest iteration.

Avantages

Robin Powered is a great tool to help manage the chaos of an open work space and helps augment other technologies in meeting and collab spaces.

Key Features/Benefits

- Easy to understand pricing with lot so of great features at entry level.
- Ability to use Android tablets and Ipads.
- Great branding/customization to give it a unique look/feel for office space.
- Easy to understand and use from a booking perspective.

Inconvénients

I have no real issues/cons with the product. It would be nice to have some more improved remote management to help troubleshoot issues. It would be great to see Robin continue to integrate with other applications.
