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.

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.

Even Jupiter. You get the idea.Screenshot of Like before covid. Walk down to your coworkers, catch up with them, plan your next step. If you don't want to be interrupted, just go into private mode. Also useful for sensitive topics or private, one-on-one talks.Screenshot of Share your screen, embed entire websites, watch videos together - you are not limited. At least not by us. These features allow a seamless experience between different teams that use different software. Combine, harmonize and get to work.Screenshot of Gather your workforce, use those braincells and write down great ideas, directly in there to visualize it. Our sticky notes will never fall off, too! Unless you remove them...then they're gone.Screenshot of Private mode for more discrete matters. One-on-one talks, or when you just don't want to be bothered during an intense work session. Broadcasting feature, so you can talk to everyone in the room (without being interrupted) will be added soon
