@wrx7m Not I.

Nor me.

Meetio is Swedish based and has been around since 2012 (according to something I saw online). I can't find any reviews on them. I can't tell for certain if they offer the service/app without the device. It seems like it, but it is hard to say.
Edit: They must offer it without the device. Their trial is a download that requires an Android device or emulator. The weird thing is that they mention a booking app, but only for iOS. I will trial it on my phone to see how it behaves.

Evoko Room Manager shows price as EOL! I guess procrastinating on this paid off.
-
@wrx7m Well that's that then.

They have this one, which is the same MSRP

Meetio wants a licensed mailbox account (E1 or better) to interact with O365's room resource mailboxes. I wonder if other solutions can do it with an unlicensed O365 user.

After playing around with the app installed on my phone, I ended up pulling the trigger on Meetio. We got 2 of the tablets with the 3-yr support/licensing/warranty for $899 each, with a 10% discount.
The hardware is a Philips 10 inch tablet https://www.philips.co.uk/p-p/10BDL3051T_00/signage-solutions-multi-touch-display/overview
It has wi-fi and Ethernet, with POE (or use the included AC adapter). You can push updates and settings out the tablets via their web portal. Nice build quality on these.
It has a couple of mounting options. There is a back plate that separates from the chassis, which allows you to mount it to the wall. You would then snap in the tablet. It also has vesa mount options, which I think I would prefer. This could potentially allow for a wall mount or stand of some sort where you would be able to articulate/tilt the tablet. I am going to see what kind of vesa wall mounts are out there for this scenario.

Was it really $899 each? I haven't used them but I looked at them for another project and the price was $300 each for those 10" from Philips. Samsung and LG also has 10" models in their signage series. They're all in the $250-$400 range.

@Pete-S - It is paying for the service, hardware, hardware warranty and support for 3 years. If you want to run your own tablets, it is $199.

Compared to $300 per year for 3 years.
What about afterward?

@JaredBusch To clarify, the option sans tablet is for a year. Also, price correction- It is $156.

I'd rather buy the tablets and one year of subscription and see how it works out. Say you pay $300 for the tablet and $156 for the service.
For two units it's going to be:
Year 1: $912
Year 2: $312
Year 3: $312
Total: $1536Otherwise it's $899 each for the first three years
Year 1: $1798
Year 2: $0
Year 3: $0
Total: $1798So it's not going to be cheaper to go for the package. And you can't change your mind if you're not satisfied.
3 year warranty comes with the hardware from Philips. -
@Pete-S There were a few reasons I didn't do byod.
-
Configuration of the tablet and the app
-
If I had issues, I would have to deal with 2 companies.
-
Also, I got 10% off of the whole price, making it much closer to the byod option. It was $1798-$180=$1618 to have the things ready to rock out of the box. For the $82 difference, it would have been a break even or even cost more for me to do the configuration.
Edit - Another thing was I didn't know which model the tablet was going to be. It only said 10" Philips LED.

Any one review SMAC Meeting Room?

@maxmustermann Since you are openly a vendor we'll keep the post. But as a community we expect vendors to participate generally before posting their solutions where appropriate. These seems like an appropriate place, so not a big deal. And welcome to the community.
We'll add a vendor flag so that it is clear you are a vendor. We normally request that this be done prior to posting any self promotion of products so that people understand when someone is promoting their own solution rather than on they've heard about or tried.
