Head of Tech Strategy Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Exact right product for the specific need" November 27, 2019 5.0 When we moved into our new office ~2 years ago, I needed a solution that would allow for integrated organization of our 14 or so meeting rooms with our existing tooling. I did not want to feel like I had to invest in a solution that would look terrible on a budget review 9 months later. The solution is cost friendly and simple. Implementation took from 6am-9am on a Tuesday. There aren't too many on prem device integrations that take 3 hours for a first-time user. Pros The Joan solution is what I look for whenever I'm selecting a solution or technology for our company or office. The solution delivers exactly what it is intended to. It doesn't try to win business with a longer feature set. It offers the features that match the need. There's no waste and no hollow features for the sake of competitive parity. Cons If I were being picky I would say that I would like to see the AI/Slack integration to evolve a bit. I'm unaware of integrations with smart speaker functionality but this would be a nice integration as well (which again may exist at this point). Alternatives considered [Discovery Attender](https://www.capterra.com/p/92354/Discovery-Attender/) Reason for choosing Joan Reasons mentioned above Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good tool" January 27, 2021 5.0 During the sales process, there was contact with each other to see if the device really met the desired requirements. This went very well and all questions were answered patiently and extensively. After that, ordering was very simple and most of the time it was spent waiting for the package to be delivered (took 2 days). 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. In the end, this process only took me 30 minutes and we were up and running. Pros We are located in a multi-company building and therefore there are several users. Sometimes you were on a call and someone accidentally walked in. That is now over with this user-friendly solution. Connecting a new Google calendar was very easy and the device was up and running quite quickly. Cons It is possible to place an appointment in the agenda via the app, but the description in Dutch is not very appropriate. But for the purpose of telling everyone you don't want to be disturbed, it works well of course.

February 7, 2020 4.0 By using Joan we have a clear view for the schedule of our meeting rooms. It saves us a hassle of walking around the office to check if something is booked or not. Pros Joan is really easy to work with, it gives a quick overview if a room is booked or not. It is even possible to book a meeting immediately from the touch display. By this was arguing about who a booked room does not have to happen anymore. Cons I think the battery is empty to quickly. Also I notice sometimes that it does not book a room when clicking on book, however this only happened to me a few times in the past year. Review Source Dan G. Director Information Technology Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "it works and its easy!" November 27, 2019 5.0 Scheduling rooms - visual reminder of who has the room or resource scheduled, eliminates poachers and let's people schedule the room on the spot. Pros Super easy to use, setup and configure. Integrates with Exchange/Outlook and really helps with the scheduling of rooms and resources. Cons Nothing! I have not found anything I don't like about it. Reason for choosing Joan Looked at Robin Powered BYOD but the integration and devices were going to be an issue. Review Source Response from Visionect December 4, 2019 Dear Dan! Thank you very much for your kind feedback and great review! :) Best Regards Tilen Kegl, Marketing Team Lead DB David B. CEO Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great alternative for meeting room management" December 24, 2019 5.0 Joan has helped the organization make a better use of our scarce meeting rooms. Offering also a quick option to use the room if available, makes quick meetings happen in a smooth way. Now we are moving to a new office with more meeting rooms, and I will be buying more Joans. Pros I was looking for an easy to use and install meeting room management device/software. All that required an iPad or something that needs to be wired was not enough for me, as there was no electrical outlet nearby. When I saw the Joan I liked that it could run for almost a month with a single charge, so I decided to give it a try. 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 I had certain WiFi issues but I could solve them by sharing my logs to the support team. Review Source DS Dan S. Network Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It just works" November 27, 2019 5.0 Great support and great product. It works. Pros It's simple. Setup and integration was easy. In fact it was so easy, a developer could even do it... Cons It was a zip file inside of another zip file. Little confusing at first. Reason for choosing Joan Reliable and easy for our users to use. Review Source Response from Visionect November 28, 2019 Dear Dan, thank you for your kind review and feedback. We try to make our products as simple and as easy to use as possible. Also, noted on the zip file comment, will bring it to the team. Thank you Tilen Kegl, Marketing Team Lead at Joan Dustin S. Superintendent of Information Technology Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Accomplished it's mission perfectly" March 7, 2019 5.0 Pros We deployed Joan for meeting room displays alongside a migration to G-Suite. So far, so good. The displays do what they claim to do, and that is showing meetings and allowing on-the-spot bookings, preventing double-bookings, etc. Staff love seeing the upcoming meetings and being able to manage their rooms from their office, rather than having to get up and post paper reservation sheets on each door. Cons The software is great, but the hardware... pretty expensive. These things are basically glorified 1st-gen Kindle tablets and they run almost $500 USD for the smallest, most limited option. The $1000 ones aren't even touchscreen, which boggles my mind. It made it very difficult to get the rollout approved. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Infrastructure Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Super simple to setup!" May 2, 2019 5.0 Excellent Pros Has ability to host the manager on premise to save cost on monthly fees. Devices have long battery life and just work! No issues at all so far! Cons Has lots of features but would love to see microsoft teams integration like slack Alternatives considered [Meeting Room 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/177563/Meeting-Room-365/) Reason for choosing Joan Cost, joan is a device, with other option we would need to purchase devices that would need proper mounting to make it all work Review Source LK Louis-Philippe K. Director of It Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does the job well" December 20, 2019 4.0 It removed a lot of the confusion as to who had booked the room in Calendar. Pros Keeps its battery for long (2-3 months), no need to pass electricity in the wall. Very low energy and network usage. Very well integrated with G-Suite. Joan Portal is well designed. The devices are well built Cons Need very strong WiFi for the devices to be responsive. If you choose to host the VM on prem, the visioconnect software cannot auto-update. The pricing for cloud could be more aggressive. Review Source BF Bram F. CEO Security and Investigations Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product" November 27, 2019 5.0 Pros You can add custom logos and easily integrate with Google Calendar Cons Setup process is a bit difficult, resetting also a bit difficult Review Source Response from Visionect December 5, 2019 Dear Bram! Thank you for your kind review and feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve the setup process and just in the last year, we brought it from 8 to 4 steps. It's feedback like yours that motivates us to push further and to create the simples meeting room booking solution on the market.

Pros This program is used in our lab space in order to indicate to students when they are able to enter a particular room for their assessment to be recorded Cons While the software works as described, it tends to be rather "glitchy" and does not always perform as intended. Review Source CR CRAIG R. CIO Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes people happy" December 5, 2019 5.0 It makes my people happy, so I am happy! Pros It's intuitive to operate, and the result is a very polished-looking system that makes people happy. Cons It was a bit cumbersome to set up and support was not always great. Review Source FP Federico P. IT specialist Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The most reliable solution - and cool" November 27, 2019 5.0 Great way to manage our rooms on-the-go. The best solution ever. Pros Battery life and e-ink display are a big plus, since it has been the only solution on the market able to not having us deploying more cables and whatever. Integration in G Suite is very nice. Cons The frame design choice could be a little more wide. Maybe some swappable (coloured) frames? Could be a great idea! Also, when a meeting is already started, a button for extending the duration of the meeting would be useful. Often our meetings go overtime and users can't manage to log in G suite and extend the meeting's duration. Like a "add 30 minutes" button poppin'up (if the room is free, of course) would be great. Reason for choosing Joan Reliable, green, easy and customizable. Review Source Response from Visionect December 4, 2019 Hi Federico! Thanks for your kind review and great feedback and ideas! I'll make sure to pass them along to our product team. :) Best Regards Tilen Kegl, Marketing Team Lead DB Daniel B.

Our team uses them daily to keep rooms reserved for meetings without overlap. Has definitely helped with conflicting schedules in our meeting rooms. Cons Could use a 'button' to reset the device.

It’s simple to use, straightforward to get set up and solves a real problem in a busy workplace Cons Battery length could be better, but it’s still very strong Review Source JM Jesus M. Ellucian Support Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Its a great product" November 27, 2019 5.0 It's been very easy to implement Pros Financially accessible, expand-ability and its logic design. Cons I barely have minimum dislike. I would say adding more tools to schedule meetings. Like using the Siri functionalities on iPhone.

Pros Users can book their own conference rooms instead of always needing assistance Cons Pop up meetings do not show who is in attendance.

Pros 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. We personalized it according to our companys visual identity. Love the G-suite integration - works great!

Review Source GR Gerard R. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Get Joan!" December 5, 2019 4.0 Pros Joan is an easy to use and extremely cost effective room scheduling device. Cons The wireless connection was a little buggy in the beginning but I think this has since been fixed in a firmware update. Reason for choosing Joan Cost Review Source DC Dan C. IT Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very useful tool for our business" December 5, 2019 5.0 Our biggest problem was that people were not looking in their Outlook calendars for conference room availability. Many times, conference rooms were hijacked which left the scheduler looking for a new conference room. Joan has solved this because it clearly shows who has a meeting and the schedule for the day. Pros I like that the integration to our Exchange calendars took less than 10 minutes. Calendar changes are displayed on our 4 Joan units almost instantly. Cons There hasn't been anything negative yet, all of the functionality has met our needs. Review Source JF Jordan F.

Review Source DC Daniel C. IT Helpdesk Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's useful" December 26, 2022 5.0 Pros We have the screens and the software. Screens are useful, but some functions not so intuitive to find, the customer service was very helpful though. Cons While charging, the screen blanks out to show only a charging logo.
