Meeting Room Manager Solutions/Displays with Office 365 Integration?

Has anyone dealt with Meetio?
-
@wrx7m Not I.

Nor me.

Meetio is Swedish based and has been around since 2012 (according to something I saw online). I can't find any reviews on them. I can't tell for certain if they offer the service/app without the device. It seems like it, but it is hard to say.
Edit: They must offer it without the device. Their trial is a download that requires an Android device or emulator. The weird thing is that they mention a booking app, but only for iOS. I will trial it on my phone to see how it behaves.

@wrx7m I know, I was making joke.

Evoko Room Manager shows price as EOL! I guess procrastinating on this paid off.
-
@wrx7m Well that's that then.
-
They have this one, which is the same MSRP

Meetio wants a licensed mailbox account (E1 or better) to interact with O365's room resource mailboxes. I wonder if other solutions can do it with an unlicensed O365 user.

After playing around with the app installed on my phone, I ended up pulling the trigger on Meetio. We got 2 of the tablets with the 3-yr support/licensing/warranty for $899 each, with a 10% discount.
The hardware is a Philips 10 inch tablet https://www.philips.co.uk/p-p/10BDL3051T_00/signage-solutions-multi-touch-display/overview
It has wi-fi and Ethernet, with POE (or use the included AC adapter). You can push updates and settings out the tablets via their web portal. Nice build quality on these.
It has a couple of mounting options. There is a back plate that separates from the chassis, which allows you to mount it to the wall. You would then snap in the tablet. It also has vesa mount options, which I think I would prefer. This could potentially allow for a wall mount or stand of some sort where you would be able to articulate/tilt the tablet. I am going to see what kind of vesa wall mounts are out there for this scenario.

Was it really $899 each? I haven't used them but I looked at them for another project and the price was $300 each for those 10" from Philips. Samsung and LG also has 10" models in their signage series. They're all in the $250-$400 range.

@Pete-S - It is paying for the service, hardware, hardware warranty and support for 3 years. If you want to run your own tablets, it is $199.

Compared to $300 per year for 3 years.
What about afterward?

@JaredBusch To clarify, the option sans tablet is for a year. Also, price correction- It is $156.

I'd rather buy the tablets and one year of subscription and see how it works out. Say you pay $300 for the tablet and $156 for the service.
For two units it's going to be:
Year 1: $912
Year 2: $312
Year 3: $312
Total: $1536Otherwise it's $899 each for the first three years
Year 1: $1798
Year 2: $0
Year 3: $0
Total: $1798So it's not going to be cheaper to go for the package. And you can't change your mind if you're not satisfied.
3 year warranty comes with the hardware from Philips. -
@Pete-S There were a few reasons I didn't do byod.
-
Configuration of the tablet and the app
-
If I had issues, I would have to deal with 2 companies.
-
Also, I got 10% off of the whole price, making it much closer to the byod option. It was $1798-$180=$1618 to have the things ready to rock out of the box. For the $82 difference, it would have been a break even or even cost more for me to do the configuration.
Edit - Another thing was I didn't know which model the tablet was going to be. It only said 10" Philips LED.
