Logitech MeetUp vs. Logitech Rally

The Logitech MeetUp thrives in a huddle / small room environment. The fish-eye lens on the camera has a very wide range of vision and allows participants to sitting close to the screen. The mic array does a good job picking up voices and the speaker has a balanced tone and sufficient volume. Not suitable for larger rooms. The Rally would be a better solution.

While the other cameras offer similar solutions, we found for the price to features, the meetup met our needs the best. With the trio, we had issues with Poly's software which the meetup gets around by being able to plug directly into a PC. The panacast, while it worked very well, we would have still needed to pair it with the rest of the equipment for a full experience. With the meetup, we have only needed the meetup, the PC, and an iPad as a controller.

We have primarily stuck with Logitech products in the past however I have had the displeasure of using some Polycom equipment in the past. At the time, Polycom basically required all people joining the meetings to be utilizing the same systems. Logitech allows us to be hardware and software agnostic. There are multiple manufacturers providing equipment and Logitech Tap has first party support for Teams, Zoom, and others. Logitech Connect and Logitech GROUP do not have proper integration with Tap and require a user to bring their laptop along.

Incentivized

• Reduced internet bandwidth across a single site since everyone is joining the meeting from one device.
• Reduced travel time allowing others to join the meeting instead of driving to it.
• Increased efficiency allowing everyone in the meeting to share a file and interact with it.

Incentivized

• During COVID it has allowed us to link rooms together.
• Allowed us to make orientation easier to deliver.
• Allowed us to require less people delivering orientation by linking rooms together.
