When people feel comfortable with a technology, they are more inclined to use these collaboration systems. This makes user experience the exact same regardless if the room is small, medium, or large. The Cisco Touch 10 is the control unit for all the different Cisco video endpoint.
The Room Kit Mini and Room Kit both have built in codec’s for processing video while the Room Kit Quad supports either the Codec Plus or the Codec Pro. I will primarily be looking at the Cisco Webex Room Kits which are the Room Kit Mini, Room Kit, and Room Kit Quad Camera.Īll the Room Kits have built in speakers with the Camera. This is a great website for getting ideas and seeing all the different options from Cisco. On the other hand, Zoom creates the software while partnering with hardware device manufactures such as Logitech, Intel, and Crestron for example.Ĭisco has created a website called Project Workplace that showcases all of their video collaboration endpoints as well as conference room layout examples. We see Cisco build the full stack from the device hardware and the software similar to Apples’ approach with the iPhone. In this comparison the device options between Cisco and Zoom are in complete contrast to each other.
I find it very interesting how both companies have taken a completely different approach enabling video in conference rooms. For this blog I will be comparing the Cisco Room Kits and the Zoom Rooms.
However, there are still major differences between manufacturers when it comes to the way these solutions are installed, managed, and their usability.
Video is now more affordable for all types of rooms including small huddle rooms, general purpose rooms, large training rooms, and executive conference rooms. The second driver is the decreasing cost for the video endpoint. This move to cloud has lowered the entry point for many customers to enable video in the conference room. First is the move to cloud for endpoint registration and video bridging in the cloud. The conference room video solutions have greatly improved and are simpler to implement, use, and support than ever before.
