    Chose Polycom Trio
    We found the Yealink Conference Phones to be laggy in navigation, where as the Polycom Trio was snappy to use.

    Chose Polycom Trio
    While Yealink was priced very competitively it couldn't math the functionality and ease of use of the Polycom units.

    Chose Polycom Trio
    Polycom Trio provides better conference call quality, picks up voice from corners of the room with additional mics for large room, better widescreen display, and it was mostly the user satisfaction which made us choose Polycom Trio.

    Chose Polycom Trio
    We preferred the iPad to the Polycom Trio because of the Price, Screen Realestate as opposed to the Trio, and the multiple use cases for an iPad in Zoom Rooms.

    Poly
    We have Polycom Trio for all our conference rooms which do not need video. They work perfectly well, providing excellent quality, sound and features. The sound quality is good for small to medium rooms. We have added additional mic pods for large conference rooms, helps to get voice from users speaking from corners of room. Registers/Integrates fairly easily with Unified Communications platform.

    Pros
    Poly
    • Audio conferencing is wonderful. This product really excels at audio. Connecting up to Skype for Business Online, we have been able to place regular phone calls as well as Skype based calls. Quality of audio is excellent. This really depends on the amount of bandwidth you have. I really recommend if you have over 5Mbps of available bandwidth.

    Cons
    Poly
    • Our greatest disappointment in Polycom Trio was the lag in using the screen, it wasn't nearly as intuitive and "snappy" as the iPads were.
    • Paired next to the iPad's, the Polycom Trio was much more expensive and couldn't be a justified member of our mass Zoom Room adoption.
