Gründe für den Wechsel zu YAROOMS

Vorteile

Yarooms is a good application for desk booking as well as workplace management. The application includes good features such as interactive workplace map and check-in features to adequately manage employee work stations. Has a good customer service as well.

Nachteile

Some times it is slow and glitchy. If the booking is canceled and someone else is sitting on the desk, it does not show the workplace occupied. Fault on the user per but still app should show not available.

Vorteile

I like the map functionality in general and the overview it gives with the colour indicators. The processes are easy to understand

Nachteile

There were few ocassions were I wanted to look at the availability from a day before on the map, to easily check which office/space was occupied or which space I had booked. Unfortunately this is not possible.
Also sometimes I get the feeling the UI overlay is a bit "clumsy" - choosing the correct floor and date could become more convenient/easier. Buttons to click could be bigger.

Vorteile

Pros:

User-friendly interface for scheduling and booking.
Wide range of features for managing shared spaces efficiently.
Reliable notifications and integrations with other tools.

Nachteile

The map view could be a bit smoother in the app

Vorteile

The ease of booking using its graphic interface.

Nachteile

I found the "Confirm Booking" process a hit-and-miss.

Vorteile

easy to use on my laptop or mobile. Great tool for managing hotelling of workspace.

Nachteile

we added extra info like who is a fire warden. Since that moves with the person rather than the desk, it also means the image of the person is not available - we see the Fire Warden icon instead. Would be nice if you could add something to face images like LI does for 'looking for work' etc...

Vorteile

Intuitive and clean user interface,Real-time room availability updates

Nachteile

Advanced features require time to fully explore

Vorteile

I like the office map view which allows you to instantly see the available workstations, allowing you to book them with a few clear, easy and quick steps.

Nachteile

Sometimes the first time you log in, the map does not load immediately, so it may be difficult for a new user to understand how to use the software.

Vorteile

I like that it is user-friendly and easy to maneuver.

Nachteile

I don't like that you can't book multiple time slots at one time. And once you book I don't like the big calendar invite.

Vorteile

Easy to use. very easy to navigate. i like it.

Nachteile

Nothing. everything is perfect. can't think of anything.

Vorteile

Amazing tool - helps to plan your office days, very user friendly, not overly complicated, I think it is fantastic tool to use in todays corporate landscape.

Nachteile

I wish the tool would allow to book a desk for more than 30 days.

Vorteile

Easy to access and teach to other colleagues

Nachteile

Very user friendly with easy access to the system

Vorteile

The possibility to choose the desk on the map and the possibility to reserve e conference room via outlook resource during meeting schedule

Nachteile

The check-in process... Often I forget to check-in. Maybe a reminder should be usefull

Vorteile

Online portal and mobile App option, floor view

Nachteile

Cannot search by co-worker. Reserve/hold workstation for a co-worker.

Vorteile

YAROOMS is easy to use and has an attractive interface.

Nachteile

Mobile app can be slow at times, partiularly when using the map view to book offices.

Vorteile

Its features are well-designed, handling everything from room bookings to meeting scheduling effortlessly. The app is reliable, with no technical issues so far, and the customer support is responsive and helpful.

Nachteile

The app is great, but I'd like more customization options to tailor it to specific needs

Vorteile

YAROOMS is user friendly and intuitive - no training was necessary before I was able to reserve my 'hotelling' desk spaces, and the office maps are supremely helpful, especially when trying to navigate an office floor and find a new-reserved desk space you have not used before.

Nachteile

I would love to be able to change the orientation of/rotate the office floor map in addition to zooming in and out.

Vorteile

Ease of use
visual in the calendar
Booking the same office over several days

Nachteile

Translation from English to French
Lack of instructions

Vorteile

YAROOMS is pretty easy and intuitive to use for people at all "tech levels"! (This goes for both the website and the tablet app.)

Nachteile

On the iPad "YAROOMS Door" app, sometimes people at my building have difficulty changing the time when booking new meetings.

Vorteile

I love that it is easy to book a room, know what is available and how long you can stay! It also takes away the awkward conversation of kicking someone out of a room. You check in and when you do the person currently in the room knows to leave. OR! Even better, if there is no one after you, you can extend your time! I love how easy and intuitive it is! It doesn't allow people to take up a room for an entire day and allows you to always get the time you need.

Nachteile

I think the online booking platform could be improved. It is a lot of scrolling and click to find the rooms and times that you need. Just making it that much easier to use and see what is available.

Vorteile

Very easy to use simple way to control room bookings in a large facility.

Nachteile

Do not want YArooms letting me know that rooms have been cleared and made vacant, had to cancel this command .

Vorteile

Easy to set up and implement
Easy to use - no staff training required
Easy to make changes
Good value

Nachteile

My only criticism is that recurring meetings can only be input by week, day or date as opposed to random dates which I could do in my old system.

Vorteile

The best thing about YArooms is that I can search quickly for a room when an ad-hoc meeting is taking place. I just tell it how many of us there are and what gadgets I need and it will give me a room that I know for sure is not occupied by someone else. It was pretty frustrating to run around searching for a room with enough chairs and a proper internet connection, so I’m glad that’s no longer the case.

Nachteile

Before attendee collision was implemented, I found myself invited to conflicting meetings all the time. But that's in the past now.

Vorteile

This software is very easy to use and makes is very simple to schedule meetings/rooms via this platform. What's nice is the fact that you will receive an email immediately after booking and attaches to my Outlook calendar with ease.

Nachteile

As a user of YARooms, the parameters are already set for me by our events team so I am not able to select different time zones if I wanted to do that; otherwise, I have no complaints.

Vorteile

I like the ease of the program. I like the visuals for both of our locations regarding available meeting rooms and company cars that are available on any given day (or location). It's user-friendly and super easy to navigate.

Nachteile

I can't think of a Con ...??!!! I suppose that's got to be a good thing!!

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to use. It works like it should, and it’s user friendly.

Nachteile

It just feels like a software program that has not been refined. It feels like it’s in beta testing. I think there needs to be constant feedback and implementation of feedback. However, I don’t know enough about this process, and it might be a very challenging process.

Vorteile

How straight forward and easy it was to navigate and use for room bookings.

Nachteile

There were some features I completely didn't use because of the nature of my work, however perhaps they're helpful in other fields.

Vorteile

This software is incredibly easy to use, offering a straightforward interface for flexible scheduling of classroom bookings. It also allows for simple rule-setting by different groups, making it adaptable to various needs.

Nachteile

While the software is generally effective, checking the classroom booking schedule on mobile devices can be challenging, which may hinder on-the-go access and management.

Vorteile

Yarooms support was very quick to handle my issue. I felt like the team was really invested into helping me resolve the issue.
All though they could not replicate the issue, the communication and speed of response was outstanding.
I did resolve the issue by changing my process.

Nachteile

When a person cancels a desk, we sometimes find it takes a few minutes and a few re launches before we can see the free desk or that we can book another desk.
It may due to location (At home, in office etc).

Vorteile

Always working properly, super useful to organize my daily rutin and super-fast

Nachteile

So far, I do not have anything to complain

Vorteile

I have found YAROOMS very easy to use when I first joined my organisation and I was advised that I needed to book rooms in this manner I was very nervous. Respectfully my fears have proved unfounded I have truthfully found YAROOMS easy to use to book and also cancel appointments and also the fact that there is confirmation of the booking and accessible ways to check what you’ve done etc is excellent
Truthfully I’ve no fault to find no criticism to make.

Nachteile

I do not have any complaints to make about YAROOMS I’ve not had any experience that proves negative

Vorteile

Easy to use UI, real-time data to avoid confusions

Nachteile

None. One thing that can be improved is adding more detailed directions. If someone is visiting an office infrequently, chances of finding the desk or the meeting room are difficult. It can be integrated in the mobile app, and it can give direction based on the location or just some general direction(e.g if you enter from X gate, it can show an in-office map to walk you to the location)

Vorteile

The ability to check and book your seats before you arrive at the office if you forgot to do it prior to the day.

Nachteile

Its not really YAROOMS, its more of just remembering to check in

Vorteile

The friendly user interface with the map (in my case, a really accurate and beautiful map of my floor) allows you to easily pick a place according to your preferences.
The mobile app comes in handy for checking your spot quickly and for making a check-in when you arrive in the office.

Nachteile

Eventually, app gets bugged, displaying wrong places for people that have booked. This occurs not so many times tough.

Vorteile

1. Ability to view availability and book desks -- both single and repeated bookings are possible
2. Ability to see the seating arrangements in a map view, facilitating easy location identification.

Nachteile

None - it serves the purpose nicely. There is nothing which I don't like.

Vorteile

I like that I can move around to different desks, and seating positions whenever they are available.

Nachteile

The least thing I like about YAROOMS, is nothing.

Vorteile

clean, simple user interface
I appreciated being able to review my history /records too

Nachteile

I can't really think of anything that I felt was ineffective or inefficient

Vorteile

Easy to schedule and see who is in the office.

Nachteile

The navigation for scheduling a space is sometimes cumbersome. Especially on a phone. On desktop I have to scroll left to right top to bottom to see my bookings.

Vorteile

YAROOMS is so easy to use, with an immediate map of your office desks and, once booked, it is just a click per day to show anyone you are there.
When you are a new hired, having a map showing names and faces of your neighbors is sometimes really helpful!

Nachteile

You can book your YAROOMS is so easy to use, with an immediate map of your office desks and, once booked, it is just a click per day to show anyone you are there.
When you are a new hired, having a map showing names and faces of your neighbours is sometimes really helpful!

Vorteile

Simple to use and great customer service.

Nachteile

Occasional malfunction which can interrupt and spoil a great experience.

Vorteile

It's really easy to use, allows the whole company to book desks and meeting rooms in advance, and for us to see how much space there is in the office on any given day. I also like that it helps us calculate the carbon emissions used travelling to and from the office.

Nachteile

The reoccurring booking feature isn't the most straightforward to use, me and other colleagues have accidentally booked the whole week, instead of booking the same day, two weeks in a row.

Vorteile

Relativiely easy to use once you understand that you need to plan in calendar before booking your desk. Application in Teams is very practical.

Nachteile

Desk options (screen size for example) would be more practical if it was visible with a symbol on the desk rather that when hovering over desk with the mouse. The independant application on iphone is not very functional.

Vorteile

How simple and intuitive the interface is.

Nachteile

I think that canceling a booking is the only process that could be made easier.

Vorteile

Easy to Use: People find YAROOMS to be user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to schedule and manage room bookings.
Quick Booking: The software allows for fast and efficient booking of resources.
Access Management: YAROOMS offers good access control privileges.

Nachteile

Performance Issues: Some users report that the software can be slow and buggy.

Vorteile

It's easy and helpful to see who is in the office and help me find collegues for in person chats. the photos and layout are easy to read.

Nachteile

Sometimes when booking isn't for the whole day it can be confusing. It could show a half and grayed out photo for those who have reserved a half day, or have a pop up alert to improve this.

Vorteile

I like it because it helps me organize and decide better when to go to the office, considering the general assistance thanks to seeing who has booked a desk. Same for choosing the right spot to sit depending on my objective that day.

Nachteile

The Map view can be enhanced by adapting it to full view when first logged in. From full screen and then zooming in, or maybe allowing the preference to see the area where I usually reserve my desk.

Vorteile

Reservation, recap, overview... it's all there!

Nachteile

I have no negative comments to make. I hope I don't have any!

Vorteile

Easy to use
excellent overview
nice solfed GUI

Nachteile

easy moving from working space to working space (desk to dest) would be nice

Vorteile

the best thing about YAROOMS is scheduling and managing the meeting rooms.

Nachteile

I didn't like the no-show, it is too early at 10:00 AM
