Archie

Pros: Integrations are reliable and the system prevents double bookings effectively. The admin tools are also fairly straightforward.

Cons: A few admin settings are not immediately obvious when you first configure the platform, so documentation could be slightly clearer.

Pros: Very flexible booking system and good visibility into availability. Their team has also been helpful whenever we needed guidance.

Cons: It took me a little while to fully grasp some of the more advanced configuration settings for memberships.

Pros: Visitor pre-registration works very well and hosts get notified when their guest arrives. It also keeps a clear log of visitors which is useful.

Cons: Setting up the visitor workflows took some time initially because there are many configuration options.

Pros: Fast desk booking, clear office map, and the ability to see where colleagues are sitting. The app is very easy to use.

Cons: Sometimes the map takes a moment to load when a lot of people are booking desks early in the morning.

Pros: Very reliable booking system, easy integrations with calendars, and a clean interface. Employees adopted it quickly which is always the hardest part with new tools.

Cons: It would be nice to have more customization options for some parts of the interface, especially when configuring the navigation menu.

Pros: The layout is clear and the map view is perfect for visualizing the office. Love that they added dark mode too!

Cons: Sometimes new features appear without much explanation, so it would help if updates were communicated faster.

Pros: It’s flexible and covers everything from room bookings to visitor check-ins. The onboarding team was very helpful.

Cons: It took some time to set up since there are many customization options. Not really a con, just something to know upfront.

Pros: Archie is very intuitive and easy to use. I can easily see conference room bookings, stay updated with office messages, and register guests without any hassle.

Cons: Some features aren’t very intuitive, so I occasionally find myself clicking around more than expected to find what I need.

Pros: Interface intuitive et facile à utiliser. Vue d'ensemble complète du coworking permettant une gestion efficace des réservations et de la disponibilité des espaces. Excellente visibilité sur les activités et l'occupation du bâtiment.

Cons: Impossibilité de réserver rétroactivement une heure ou date passée quand on a oublié de faire la réservation au préalable. Synchronisation avec les calendriers personnels (Google Calendar, Outlook) pas encore optimale, ce qui peut créer des conflits d'agenda.

Pros: The UI/UX is good looking, fairly intuitive, and a really smooth experience. When the product works, it works perfectly, and this is 90-95% of the time.

Cons: Sometimes it is not synced with Google Calendar, so it will show a meeting room as available. Then it confirms a booking for me, but in fact the meeting room was not available, and thus the booking is not made. Thus I am forced to look up the Google calendar of multiple meeting rooms to determine what is actually available. This has been resolved, but it was an issue for 1 or 2 weeks.

Pros: You set different badge templates per visit type + automate most of the steps of the registration process. It's great!

Cons: No block lists, and no native integration with HRIS. The system is pretty advanced but it does lack some features other enterprise tools offer.

Pros: Archie has a simple and efficient interface when needing to book a room. The clean layout makes it easy to make a reservation.

Cons: I didn't have any problems with Archie. The hardest part of booking the room is remembering the Archie URL!

Pros: I do like very much the booking app on the cellphone, especially the "pass check-in" system. It is friendly user and aesthetically sober guarantying a simpler use.

Cons: I disliked the previous cellphone app. It was so much simple that i had difficulties for booking my passes. It was much more a good looking app with few possibilities versus what was really possible to do on the web app. So i used the web platform all the times that i needed it, with computer starting steps at each time.

Pros: Knowing who is in your neighbouring desks and where to find the colleague you want to have a chat. Another thing I like very much is that you can actually make a recurring booking.

Cons: So far, I haven't found anything that I do not like. If I have to name one, it may be that if the persons have the same initials, it would be good to show a photo if available when pop up on the initial.

Pros: The app so far can do everything I want with it. Reserve rooms. Review credits. Unlock doors. Review my invoices.

Cons: 2 cons. 1) The door unlocking isn't always seemless. Seems to sometimes delay and I have to hold the phone and move around until it finally unlocks. Most of the time it's fine. 2) I'd like an option where the door unlock is easier to pull up. I have to open the app. Go to a second screen. Then click on the door unlock icon. Not a big deal other than when my hands are full coming into the office. Would like it to be a button on the main screen.

Pros: Super easy to use and great user experience! Also love the fact that you can easily see who is at the office at the same time.

Cons: So far nothing! It was very easy and straight forward. Maybe would change the landing page for a calendar view?

Pros: We’ve found Archie refreshingly intuitive and reliable. The booking calendar is clear, quick to use, and eliminates double-bookings. The ability to view real-time room availability, integrate with our calendars, and manage everything from one place has genuinely streamlined how our office operates.

Cons: The initial setup took a bit of time, as there are many options to configure before it runs smoothly. Once everything’s in place, it works well, but the onboarding could be a little more guided. A simpler first-time setup process would make the experience nearly flawless.

Pros: Love the visual seating map, and how you can search by person or team. For me it's more about knowing who's at the office rather than where to sit, but still it's a great way to align.

Cons: At the beginning the mobile app was logging me out quite often, not sure if it was a set up issue but it lasted for a while and was very annoying. Luckily that happens rarely now.

Pros: Mobile and desktop both work great, lots of functionalities, and they update small aspects of the product very often.

Cons: The non-English language versions of the UI are auto translated I think, that's the feedback I got. Doesn't affect me personally but it might for some visitors switching language.

Pros: The integration with Teams is great. Notifications, check-in, direct booking. Happy they will integrated visitors too in it.

Cons: I really wish the app could remember my favorite desk automatically or make it faster to rebook a resource.

Pros: Setup was surprisingly quick, and the support team helped us import our floor plans and set up the different policies and settings we wanted to have in place.

Cons: Everything has to be tied to a user, you have privacy settings, but admins can still see who booked what.

Pros: The map editor is very flexible. Admin tools are powerful without being complicated. The UI is a bit nicer than other solutions.

Cons: Takes a bit of time to get used to how permissions work across roles as well as hot to adjust resource visibility based on team / user group.
