YAROOMS

Pros: It's super user-friendly. The booking system is straightforward to use. The "blueprints" of the bookable room layouts are accurate. The confirmation emails and Microsoft Teams calendar sync are great.

Cons: When my company initially adopted it, the system required users to double-confirm their bookings via email, which was annoying. We have since dropped this setting, and it has made for a much better experience.

Pros: Reasonably intuitive, allows for efficiencies such as booking multiple days in a row with one booking. Its good to be able to see who is booked where, when.

Cons: I ran into trouble cancelling/deleting a booking. I couldn't figure out how, and I was confused because on the page I was trying to delete the booking, the button the 'cancel' the booking looked like a button the 'cancel' out of the page - I normally can figure out most software but this actually stymied me as it had no tool tips or further guidance on the page... so i just kept trying to figure out how to do it 'edit' mode... funny now, but supremely frustrating at the time. I would rename cancel to 'Delete' (since in hindsight, that is why you have the trashcash icon there). The word cancel shown in a button, next to an edit button, means something different in most software so that part is NOT intuitive :-)

Pros: Room and Desk bookings is so easy, gives flexibility on when you're available and require a desk. On the day of the booking, it gives you opportunity to extend your time or even cancel completely

Cons: Login is easy with appropriate setup and security. Options for booking (Map or time based) so you can have a flexible booking based on availability.

Pros: The active update of the room that is booked so that I am aware of the occupation situation of the desks.

Cons: sometimes there is longer than expected processing time to reach Yarooms from the Teams site, resulting unexpected delay.

Pros: I love how easy it is to see how busy the workplace is going to be with the occupancy percentage and the timeline which gives me a preview of the day ahead. It reduces redundant conversations with my coworkers about what they’ll be working on or at what time. I also find the pick and drag function on the laptop very convenient. On the mobile app version, sometimes I see times that are in red for “already booked by someone else” which makes it easier to determine when I can make my bookings.

Cons: The mobile app stills need a little work. There’s a pop-up to turn on notifications every time I open it, which is somewhat irritating as the notifications are many and often (check-in, check-out, reminders. There’s a resource I can only book for 2hrs at a time but sometimes I need to book it multiple times a day so it would be non-stop notifications if I had it on. I would also appreciate being able to view the timeline in the app.

Pros: The simplicity of the interface and being able to see the availability on the floorplan and I can book well in advance.

Cons: Nothing specific except that the booking appears in my outlook diary and I appear to be unavailable.

Pros: It's an easy and quick booking system. I love how there are photos attached to the room, which allows me to visualize the space before I book it! I also appreciate that the booking is automatically assigned to my Outlook calendar. That makes it easy for colleagues to find me if they want to chat in person.

Cons: The "Find a Space" feature didn't always work for me. Not sure why? Maybe I was doing something wrong.

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

Cons: 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.

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

Cons: 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...

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

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

Cons: The map view could be a bit smoother in the app

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

Cons: Advanced features require time to fully explore

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

Cons: 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.

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: It's a really well-made application, very useful for booking desks and meeting rooms, in order to plan activities in advance. Super friendly and recommended!

Cons: Nothing, everything seems to be fine until this moment.

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

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

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

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

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

Cons: 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)

Pros: How simple and intuitive the interface is.

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

Pros: The simplicity of use and the visual increase in availability

Cons: the indication of the buildings lacks a little visibility

Pros: de voir ou sont placés les collègues ce qui permet de ne pas les chercher de partout

Cons: dans l'impossibilité de libérer des bureaux quand les personnes ne viennent pas. Il faudrait faire une option de confirmation de présence

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

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