YAROOMS Reviews

Does the job it's suppose to do!

Comments: I'm using YArooms to juggle with 3 meeting rooms in our co-working space, especially helpful when you have limited hardware access and now we know to which room the projector/tv/etc is allocated.

Pros:

It helps us manage 3 meeting rooms in our co-working space and helps us share hardware resources.

Cons:

It's packed with features, sometimes overwhelming the UI

Great help to manage rehearsal, concerts and room rentals

Comments: Facilitates our room management and helps to reduce frictions due to doublebooking

Pros:

Clear and easy to use structure. Fast input of bookings, easy expandable resources, good overview. Good access privileges management

Cons:

not yet accessible on mobile phones, but you are already working on it. Good job.

There are way better and way cheaper products out there.

Pros:

It is user friendly and easy to figure out.

Cons:

The site is incredibly buggy and painfully slow. There is also no customer support phone number or email, so you have to submit a request for help and then eventually a support rep emails you. The support reps are always nice through email, but when we use this system for booking all of our lab equipment and rooms, we need faster support.

Very helpful at multi-use building.

Comments: I work at a building that is home to several small/start-up companies who alternately need our shared conference spaces. YAROOMS has been a great solution for our building. People at varying levels of computer savvy-ness have been able to use this with no problems - the calendars are very straightforward. On occasion, people will have issues booking new meetings on our door iPads which run the tablet app, but this may be more of a tablet & user issue. (Some examples from our version of the app: you just type over the generic title "Meeting" to re-name; adjusting the start & end times on new bookings is hard for those who cannot see small numbers.) Overall these issues are very minor, and immediately fixable. We like YAROOMS.

Pros:

YAROOMS is pretty easy and intuitive to use for people at all "tech levels"! (This goes for both the website and the tablet app.)

Cons:

On the iPad "YAROOMS Door" app, sometimes people at my building have difficulty changing the time when booking new meetings.

Great Product for meeting room management and room digital signage

Comments: Meeting room management
Resource management
Room Digital signage

Pros:

I love the ease of use and the fact that the ergonomy of the product made it so easy to drive adoption in the organization. We are not a big company but any kind of new software that needs to be implemented and adopted came with its own hurdles. With YArooms it just went great.

Cons:

There is no monthly plan, only yearly ones. It is true that there is also a solution to pay only by the amount of usage, but having a lot of meetings makes it inefficient economically.

Takes the guess work out of booking rooms

Pros:

I love that it is easy to book a room, know what is available and how long you can stay! It also takes away the awkward conversation of kicking someone out of a room. You check in and when you do the person currently in the room knows to leave. OR! Even better, if there is no one after you, you can extend your time! I love how easy and intuitive it is! It doesn't allow people to take up a room for an entire day and allows you to always get the time you need.

Cons:

I think the online booking platform could be improved. It is a lot of scrolling and click to find the rooms and times that you need. Just making it that much easier to use and see what is available.

How to make life a dodle

Comments: Being in total control of ALL room bookings across 21 Interview rooms and 4 Meeting rooms and 1 Conference room has made life so much easier, Being able to use a system with times in/out in perfect for a very busy environment which is normally difficult to control but now with YArooms set bookings are in place.

Pros:

Very easy to use simple way to control room bookings in a large facility.

Cons:

Do not want YArooms letting me know that rooms have been cleared and made vacant, had to cancel this command .

Great product for basic room scheduling

Pros:

Easy to set up and implement Easy to use - no staff training required Easy to make changes Good value

Cons:

My only criticism is that recurring meetings can only be input by week, day or date as opposed to random dates which I could do in my old system.

Proper Office Review

Comments: We rent out serviced offices and have a number of meeting rooms where we were managing bookings using a spreadsheet. It meant clients had to contact reception to check availability and book the room. now this can be done directly by our clients and makes managing multiple rooms a doddle.

Pros:

Just what we needed to manage the booking of several meeting rooms in one place.

Cons:

Difficulty loading logo. Not sure if that was my fault or a problem with the software.

Good product - Service depends on the assigned contact

Comments: The product usage is great. And after we were allowed to remain on the older platform, service was good. Didn't like the pressure at first.

Pros:

It's easy to onboard people. The system is very easy to navigate.

Cons:

The sales staff were trying to move us to the latest version - with some pressure. The new platform did not have drag and drop functionality (at the time) and could not migrate existing meetings. Lack of migration (even for a fee) was an enormous issue.

Review

Comments: Hirers book rooms remotely.

Pros:

Brilliant system business functions without me needing to be there very easy to use. Have 50 room hirers. Book rooms hourly

Cons:

When invoicing the title is case sensitive not flexible with spelling. I therefore have to go through every day to check usage before invoicing rather than using the account function

Good stuff

Comments: Any new features in Yarooms will be most welcome.

Pros:

1. Easy to use. 2. Updates promptly. 3. Photos can be uploaded.

Cons:

1. Expensive annual subscription 2. Need to set different levels of user access eg. certain facilities can be booked by key personnel only. Classroom booking for teachers only. Studio booking by receptionists only. 3. Give administrator the rights to block certain user group/person for a period of time. Eg. User forgets to release booking. Administrator will impose a penalty to user for 1 month period. After that period, user may be re-instated to continue use of Yaroom.

Useful for a small team

Pros:

It is easy to use and the cost is just right for a smaller company

Cons:

There is limited functionality with this software

Couldn't live without it

Pros:

The best thing about YArooms is that I can search quickly for a room when an ad-hoc meeting is taking place. I just tell it how many of us there are and what gadgets I need and it will give me a room that I know for sure is not occupied by someone else. It was pretty frustrating to run around searching for a room with enough chairs and a proper internet connection, so I’m glad that’s no longer the case.

Cons:

Before attendee collision was implemented, I found myself invited to conflicting meetings all the time. But that's in the past now.

Efficient Room Management Made Simple with Yarooms Software

Its advanced room scheduling and resource management tools are also helpful for businesses as they increase efficiency and reduce administrative costs. Additionally, Yarooms software provides customization options that allow users to tailor it according to their specific requirements. Overall, Yarooms is a potent solution that can assist companies in improving their space management and resource allocation.

Cons:

faced challenges in setting up Yarooms software initially and have needed technical assistance. Additionally, the pricing structure may not be feasible for small businesses or organizations with limited budgets. Despite these concerns, Yarooms is still widely appreciated and valued for its ability to simplify room scheduling and resource management processes for businesses of all sizes, thanks to its diverse range of features.

YArooms review

Comments: Overall it does it's job. No complaints.

Pros:

It's a extremely straightforward tool. Anybody can intuitively use it without reading any help guide or training. It's like a calendar that you just book time slots for available meeting rooms. You won't go wrong with it.

Cons:

Despite the simplicity of use for the Calendar, it might be much more appealing to the eye if it didn't look so analog. I'd also recommend to have a mobile app for both Apple IOS and Android.

Recommended

Pros:

Easy to use. Quick, simple and makes booking a room really easy.

Cons:

The notification settings. Sometimes they revert back to "factory settings" without notice.

Easy to use

Pros:

Ease of use, multiple staff picked up use of product quickly. Value for money, reasonable cost.

Cons:

You can always find things to moan about! I guess for me, I didn't find the reporting that easy.

Booking tool deluxe

Comments: I've used YARooms for a few years now and enjoy it very much.

Pros:

This software is very easy to use and makes is very simple to schedule meetings/rooms via this platform. What's nice is the fact that you will receive an email immediately after booking and attaches to my Outlook calendar with ease.

Cons:

As a user of YARooms, the parameters are already set for me by our events team so I am not able to select different time zones if I wanted to do that; otherwise, I have no complaints.

The product is very helpful to manage meeting rooms in co-working spaces.

Pros:

It is easy to use and manage user authentication. Moreover, YArooms team promptly respond to requests.

Cons:

Turkish characters such as İ,ş,ü,ğ... are written with a different font to the meeting title field. Rarely the system response slow.

Book meeting anytime from anywhere

Comments: Very good

Pros:

It is very easy to use. Alerts before schedules. Invite multiple peoples.

Cons:

Not available offline. No mobile app. Sometimes conflicts with Outlook

Product is probably great but support sucks so IDK?!

Comments: Support sucked. You can't talk to a person and they keep recommending video tutorials to try to help me answer my own questions, which takes FOREVER and in my opinion is lazy, terrible customer service.

Pros:

The tablet check in at the conference room door.

Cons:

Support seems to be email only and is based in a non US country, which makes it hard to get questions answered and problems resolved quickly.

YArooms for three rooms!

Comments: It is easy to use and quite helpful, especially if you are in coworking space or sharing an office like ourselves.

Pros:

We are one of three orgs sharing the same space and are often losing track who is using which rooms. YArooms will help you schedule your meetings and book the rooms seamlessly. Also, the mobile app is great and makes scheduling super easy.

Cons:

We are still on a free trial but will consider if we will go with Starter and Office plan. The difference is price-wise huge -- we are more than 10, but def. much less than 100. There should be an option in between.

Less stress, less headaches

Pros:

My department has multiple meeting rooms and multiple people vying for them. Yarooms really has made it easy to streamline reservation times and as a result has decreased frustrations among staff and administrators. Since implementing this program we have reduced the number of double bookings and other fiascos drastically.

Cons:

I have had some connectivity issues. Not sure if this is due to my network, the program, or a little bit of both.

Great app

Pros:

- easy to use - great for teams - syncs with outlook

Cons:

- no mobile app - does not integrate with google calendar
