YAROOMS

Pros: Great app to use for larger office spaces. I have used this app for over 6 months now and don't have anything bad to say. I can use it on my laptop or my phone which makes it easy to use on the go.

Cons: Can't book multiple times in one day. This comes handy when you need to change floors or areas on the same floor. Once you cancel your seat for the day you cant book another if you want or need to move work stations.

Overall: Good app overall. Booking and check in process is seamless and easy to navigate. If the one con was to be addressed it would make it easier to move around the same day and sit in different areas as needed.

Pros: Easy to use, just book the hood you need and whenever you need. I like that they also send us confirmation link so that you don't forget that you book a particular hood/machine.

Cons: Sometimes there's a lag between reserving it but nothing bad stand out besides that.

Overall: Overall, it is easy to use and highly recommend to anyone or anylab.
You will also need to reinforce the team to use it to avoid double booking tho.

Pros: - You are able to check the available space through the timeline.
- booking and cancelling is easy.
- you get email notifications for room booking and calendar invite which is helpful when busy and for planning.
- You can adjust your booking and invite others as well.
- Meetings can be booked ahead of time especially recurring ones.
- You can manage your bookings efficiently.

Cons: - Yarooms link is not easy to find on the intranet, I usually go back to my emails.
- if you forget to check in the room can be booked by another.
- I do not think the snowdrop session is necessary to be included on Yarooms as most people do not book but just use the available booth.

Overall: My overall experience is wonderful, as I can hold meeting privately and it is user friendly, it helps me to plan my meetings in advance.

Pros: Having both a map and timeline view allows for easy booking and also makes it convenient to find your co-workers who are in.
Easy to book, cancel and sort.

Cons: No issues with this software. Haven't had any problems (no crashes, no bugs, no missed bookings).

Overall: Excellent experience using YAROOMS. Easy access through any TEAMS app. Booking made very simple and easy. Never had any problems. Map and timeline views are very convenient.

Pros: Very good user interface. User can input the bookings either graphically or by text. Totally effortless. No confusion.

Cons: Interface being user friendly, there can always be a way to improve it further.

Overall: Seamless data entry. Immediate confirmations of bookings. It is also very easy to get usage log with minimal efforts

Pros: 1) The graphical representation of the floor layout makes it easy to understand which desk I am booking. Also helps to find other members of my team when I'm in the office.
2) Email reminder for check-in.
3) Easy to view and manage my bookings. The UI is intuitive.
4) Great to have a native version for my iPhone.

Cons: I cannot think of any drawbacks or additional functionality that is missing.

Overall: This tool solves a problem for hybrid work environments that helps to make effective use of office space.

Pros: Very easy to use. Allows me to select places to work at locations, dates and times that suit me. If I need to cancel, that is not a problem.

Cons: Nothing much I can think of, though sometimes my ability to zoom in on a specific area within a building is not straightforward.

Overall: I am not great with technical apps but this seems to be very straightforward to use and takes very little time to make a booking.

Pros: Clear.
All locations distinctly defined.
Map feature is easiest to understand and follow.
Setup and login is not linked to work profile which reduces chances of login conflicts/issues.

Cons: Locations do not directly link to map upon clicking.
Signs out occasionally and is troublesome to re-connect.
Date range only extends till end of calendar month, doesn't show the following month unless manually moved, and this is very tricky on phone screens.

Overall: Fit for purpose, not very intuitive but once learned won't be forgotten.
Can use improvements in calendar display on the map.

Pros: Very simple to use and navigate. Gives transparency on the wider team. The design is very clear and menu navigation works well. Could see how it can be tailored to suit individual companies.

Cons: Sometimes forget to book space. But that's my own issue and isn't something I'd be critical of. There might be a reminder alert that I haven't found yet.? Also if a meeting goes over, perhaps an alert to warn the next user might be helpful?

Overall: Gives great transparency on teams, space, meetings. Very simple to use too. Office layout is a great help as a ux.

Pros: Easy to use, cloud based with great support from yarooms team for setup and initial usage. Solution works well for our model of room bookings, with shared tenants using shared rooms. Mobile app and tablet interfaces work well and are not cluttered or bloated - just do what they need to

Cons: Some challenges in Chrome, but nothing major.
Would like extended functionality for booking approvals, but this is very specific to the use case we have.

Overall: Easy tool to implement. Yarooms team very strong on on boarding, data conversion and training/upskill. Support has been very strong since go live - responsive and articulate.

Pros: Availability on all platforms and mediums and easy user interface for the day to day users. Nice notifications system.

Cons: The management interface looks too complicated in the beginning. After you get used to it it makes the platform flexible.

Overall: Great experience, the team was kind to get us up and running fast and we love the fact that it's easy to use for our day to day shared workspace.
