Whatspot

Avantages

Reaching a sales and support team was easy, and I was amazed at how flexible they were. Special note to [sensitive content hidden] who gave an amazing professional side from our moment of interest to after the purchase.

Inconvénients

Nothing until the moment. I will see how much time would it take to develop certain requests that we ask. But already beforehand was explained to me an idea of where the development team is oriented which I think was a positive point and helped me decide in to buy the product.

Pourquoi choisir Whatspot 

Pourquoi passer à Whatspot

Avantages

I own a small tutoring company and our office has 2-3 meeting rooms. I love that Whatspot has a free option for small businesses like mine. Our tutors usually work with a student on a weekly schedule. Whatspot allows recurring meeting to be booked easily. The visual representation of the calendar and the bookings is very friendly and it's easy to see what rooms are available. It has been so easy to use that I am now using the Whatspot calendar to schedule new students and see which tutors work which days and what timeslots are open. It's not just a room reservation site, it's evolved into a really great tool.

Inconvénients

No real cons. Whatspot is amazing and does pretty much everything I need it to.
However if I were to pick a few things: 1. the recurring meetings only go about 10 weeks out - so it is not recurring indefinitely. 2. when you delete a recurring appt, there is no ability to delete the whole recurring series, you have to go through each appt and delete them one by one. This actually works fine for my tutors as they usually only need to delete one session anyway, but it would be nice to be able to choose "delete just this one" or "delete all future recurring appts." I am sure Whatspot is in the works to update that. When I spoke with one of the reps, they seemed very responsive and they seem like they are always updating their site to have new features.

Avantages

Its simplicity and ease of use. Managing workspaces and meeting rooms is now much faster.

Inconvénients

That users cannot create maps online or upload maps to assign spaces.

Avantages

The calendar and booking. The spots make it possible for us to spearate booking between our locations.

Inconvénients

I miss the automatic reply feature for our users. I also can't change my email address, the one I receive notifications at. I would really like to do this. Additionally, I want the option for participants to be approved on their first booking, without needing approval for subsequent bookings. I also miss information om how to get help with problems.

Avantages

The simplicity and user-friendliness of the application make it highly intuitive, easy to manage, and operate.

Inconvénients

There’s nothing I dislike, except for the inability to assign colors directly to spots instead of by spot type. Additionally, I would suggest adding the option to include guests in reservations and to send confirmation emails upon booking, along with reminders.

Avantages

The ease of the system is great - so clear and simple to use.
Demo was great - [sensitive content hidden] was very helpful and responsive to questions.
Quick and easy set up.

Inconvénients

Unable to block book for longer then 20 weeks.

Avantages

Received notification to admin manager email straight after user booking.
can avoid miss looked. admin manager feature can decline / remove booking room to other option.

Inconvénients

Once approved no space to communicate with user if there is some note to informed.

Avantages

The software has made it possible for us to begin renting out space after hours and helped keep us from going crazy during the day. With 240 students and 50 staff members, parent meetings and student activities, this tool isn't just helpful, its absolutely essential. We are happy to work with the Whatspot team, they are open to our feedback and doing a terrific job.

Inconvénients

There isn't anything that we don't like. Editing events could be more intuitive. It's a minor issue.

Avantages

Ease of use, it allows to make categories

Inconvénients

It doesn’t allows to book slots lesser than one hour.

Avantages

The way we can use the tool to make reservations is very simple and intuitive.

Inconvénients

Because we are in Brazil, we have to make the payment with a currency other than ours, but nothing that is not normal like other tools or software

Avantages

How easy it is to use. The calendar is too friendly and everyone is pretty happy with the platform

Inconvénients

The price. We are looking for a platform that are free or not that expensive because we use it just tu reserve 2 parking spaces.

Avantages

Easy to configure (create users, create rooms, define access).Simple and intuitive for the user to check room occupancy and create reservations for rooms at unoccupied times.

Inconvénients

It bothers me that configuring users always goes back to the beginning when I configure a user.In addition to deactivating a user that is no longer used, it should be possible to delete it.

Avantages

Simplicity of the use of the application.

Inconvénients

We are using Whatspot for two months and so far we are happy with the application.

Avantages

Great communication with the Product Manager, very supportive and always available when needed. Very good price for an amazing product!

Inconvénients

There is nothing I could complain about

Avantages

Everyone can pick desired time and book conference room very easily.

Inconvénients

Would like to see an app version of this.

Avantages

We apply whatspot in our internal process in ten minutes

Inconvénients

Nothing to declare. For our needs actual whatspot features’ are enough.

Avantages

Ease of use, simplicity, clean design, and price

Inconvénients

Nothing missing. We were using the service very frequently without any issues.

Avantages

User friendly features and not over complicated. Aesthetically simple.

Inconvénients

Addition of a 'mileage' input section to input kms travelled

Avantages

We were looking for a software with some specific criteria, including that it was public-facing so users didn't have to create an account to book a reservation, but we still had the ability to approve or deny listings.

Inconvénients

I do wish we had the ability to embed it on a website, and to set specific hours for specific spots.

Avantages

Free version of the application is quite effective for a small group. I really liked the product in comparison to expensive alternatives.

Inconvénients

There is no smartphone app for this software for now, but they told me they are planning about this.

Avantages

The product is a pleasure to use - no frills, fuss or complications. We were able to download and set up our room booking in minutes. Whatspot's free version is ideal for managing a single room in the department that is used by different groups. We looked at many free room management products and none gave us the what Whatspot has. I highly recommend the product.

Inconvénients

Our needs are simple and there is nothing about the product that we would want to change

Avantages

We've moved our coworking space to Whatspot and it works like a charm. It's really easy to use. Communication and support of the Whatspot team is great. The option to get QR-codes for the spots is also a really nice feature.

Inconvénients

There are some minor bugs when using it in mobile. But probably it will be solved soon. Also it would be nice for our coworking to be able to book a spot for the whole day (the available hours of the spot) by clicking a box instead of manually choose begin and endtime.

Avantages

A very friendly and easy to use software for reservation and booking

Inconvénients

There is no single con about this software

Thanks to Whatspot now we have complete control of our shared spaces. It's straightforward to configure and use. Its user control allows you to set permissions to verify and confirm reservations or if you have public users, they can make it by themselves using QR codes or an URL.

Inconvénients

There are sometimes when certain actions take longer than we expected. It seems like the server wasn't big enough to process actions.
