Robin Software

Perfect for managing a shared work environment.

Pros

One of the things that I appreciate about Robin is its intuitive interface. It is easy to navigate, and I was able to start using it without any confusion or frustration. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly with other apps like Google Calendar, Slack, and Zoom, which has made my workday more efficient. With Robins desk booking system, I can easily reserve a spot when needed or find available desks nearby when traveling to different office locations.

Cons

Although Robins desk and room booking system is helpful, there have been times when I have encountered conflicts where someone else has booked the space I wanted at the same time. Also, the platform is generally reliable but there have been times when it has crashed or failed to sync properly with other tools I use.

Shared meeting place management

Pros

We often used to run into problems when different teams working on different projects coincidentally booked the same meeting room for their high-level meetings. The team and their respective clients have had to face inconveniences. We have been able to resolve it after using Robin. This is great at managing the rooms and lets us know about the availability and the devices that are available. Robin is especially good at managing shared meeting places in a large office like ours. We use the handy Gmail integration for quick room reservations.

Cons

While Gmail works great, integration with older email systems is still challenging to achieve. It also requires a separate room reservation from the meeting invitation, which I believe is not needed at all. And some meetings that happen every week, like the weekly review meetings, cannot be added as recurring meetings since the feature is still not ready. Failure to check in for a meeting prematurely releases the room.

The software is easy to use!

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of Robin is its ease of use. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy for even non-technical people to navigate. Another pro is the flexibility that Robin offers in terms of scheduling options. Whether I need to schedule a one-on-one meeting or a large group event, Robin has multiple options to fit my needs. And if I need to reschedule or cancel an event, its easy to do so without any hassle.

Cons

One downside of Robin is its limited support for video conferencing. While it does integrate with Zoom and other platforms, it doesnt offer built-in video conferencing capabilities like some other tools on the market. Robin does offer integrations with many popular tools but there are still some gaps in terms of compatibility with certain platforms that I use regularly.
