Joan vs. Logitech

# Why Joan is the \#1 Logitech Alternative

Logitech builds AV hardware like the Tap Scheduler. Joan is a full workplace platform with rooms, desks, visitors and wireless displays that run for months without charging. Logitech requires cabling, constant power and AV installation. Joan installs in minutes, works wire-free and costs less to roll out and maintain.

Joan

Logitech

#### **More than just room booking**

Logitech focuses only on meeting room panels while Joan is a full workplace platform that also covers desks, visitors, parking and shared resources in one place.

#### **No cables, no headaches**

Logitech Tap Scheduler needs PoE cabling, wall mounting and AV system integration which adds cost and complexity. Joan devices are wireless, battery powered and install in minutes without IT involvement.

#### **Use the devices you already own**

Logitech locks you into fixed hardware. Joan runs on tablets, phones or its own e paper displays so you can scale easily and avoid expensive vendor lock in.

#### **Smarter sustainability**

Joan’s e paper displays use 99% less energy than LCD screens, last up to six months on a single charge and ship in zero waste packaging. Logitech requires constant power over Ethernet which drives up both energy use and costs.

### Everybody knows when the room is booked or not. It’s a very clear way to say: ‘Stop! Don’t go there because someone else took the room. It was really helpful because we didn’t change the way we booked the room.

**Lucio Ferranti** , CEO at Energy Group

### Joan is the perfect solution—sleek, wireless, and so intuitive our team started using it without any training.

**Topher Ohlin** , IT Admin at Planning Center

-

### So far we have had no trouble during the onboarding process or using it. I am very pleased, so far. I also love the design. I know it is not important to the people who think that only functionality matters, but if you have functionality WITH a nice and clean design, that makes the experience so much better.

**Isabela Simoes** , Administrative Assistant at Master Electronics

-

### The unique aspect of Joan is that it does not require power going to the unit; you can mount them anywhere. The battery life lasts anywhere from four to five months. Very easy to set up and does not require any user training.

**Pablo Gersberg** , Senior Vice President at Neumora

-

### We wanted to make a platform where everybody could come in and see if there’s a room open that they can schedule and work out of.

**Adam Fisk** , Director of IT services at Tech Superpowers
