Pros

The ease of use when using Robin is the best part. We use it to book desks within our office due to the pandemic, and it has been a great asset.
Easy to integrate with the most popular calendaring platforms - Outlook, Google, etc. Now Robin is iterating and adding interesting space management features to compliment their desk booking module.
Robin is such an effective tool in our industry and seamlessly integrates our shared coworking space to ensure bookings are smooth, consistent, and accurate.

Pros

Every time we have a vendor or outside customer come in to a conference room they comment on how amazing they are. The ability to book a room from Webex Teams enhances the ease of use on the fly.
Bulit quality, simplistic and straigtforward onboarding process and overall day-to-day use, Joan device design integrates perfectly into any modern office environment, battery life is impressive.
I was amazed by its simple integration with Google Calendar, and how it helped make a better use of the meeting room, having a positive impact in our culture.

Cons

If I forget to check in when I get to the room, it will cancel out my reservation.
A little confusing to use the hover feature to book the space separate from the calendar elsewhere on the page.
Losing my reservation when I forget to check-in. Needing to kick people out when they overstay their reservation - need a reminder for when reservation is done.

Cons

Installation was a bit difficult for a while due to the poor WiFi connection and the fact that some settings take a while before they are actually implemented.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with the e-ink display itself or simply a terrible touch layer that's used. But in the end, you might need quite a bit of force to use the display.
Our biggest problem was that people were not looking in their Outlook calendars for conference room availability.
