We have had a great experience working with Chargifi from implementation to ongoing maintenance. They are super responsive and constantly adding more features. The recent self-certification feature has really helped us manage various regulatory requirements. Things are constantly changing across our various locations. The flexibility of the app has really helped us manage the variations between each site.
Pros
Chargifi has given workplace tech a long overdue makeover! The modern user interface is very intuitive, our team was able to get up and running within a few short hours. The admin functionality is simple, easy to use, and effective.
Cons
The cons we were concerned with initially have already been resolved. One thing we were concerned about was a lack of meeting room booking integration. However, that feature was recently added and now were all set!

This has made our lives a lot easier. It would have been a full time job managing the desk and room bookings. The customer service is excellent. We receive very quick responses and Kadence are regularly building the required fixes into the app within good time.
Pros
Aesthetically pleasing and easy to use (for those who engage with tech).
Cons
Team Managers can book on behalf of someone but can't then cancel on behalf of someone. We believe Team Managers and Global Admins should be able to cancel bookings on behalf of other users for instances such as severe illness etc. Also, we would like to be able to set in the background that users cannot change the times for desk bookings in the background for some desks as we don't want them used twice in a day due to Covid. We have raised both these issues and believe a fix is being worked on.
We do also feel you should be able to remove users from Kadence who are only suspended on AD. We do not permanently delete users from AD, only suspend, which means they will not remove from Kadence. While we will only be charged for active users, this does feel a bit messy to still have employees who have left still on there.
Reasons for Switching to Kadence

A market leading product but some improvements needed.

The overall experience have been positive, but during our initial contact with Antony, he told us about a few features which simply did not exist. There was an element of over selling, which in a legal sense could land Kadence in very hot water. The linkage between Office 365 and Kandence did not fully meet our expectations. we were also told that Flight Information boards were on the roadmap and would be added in September this year.
Setting aside the enthusiastic sales pitch from Antony, I feel that this is a good product and if I had more clarity on the functions from the start the balance of probabilities are that we would have still gone with Kadence.
Pros
The product is very easy to use, and the app has received some great feedback. From a tech viewpoint, the on-boarding process was well managed and templates easy to fill out. I like the layout of the app and screens are very clear. The maps showing occupancy are very useful.
Cons
I would rather reword this from "Cons" to a better question such as "How could we improve the product? So here is what I think -
1. Add multiple profiles so different groups of people can have different advance booking windows.
2. Find a way to pull photos from Azure AD into Chargifi on the integration.
3. Find a way to automate the process of adding people to booking groups.
4. Develop a "Flight Information Screen" which we can display in the office so people can see who is in real time.
5. The the floor plan, why have room status and desk status as separate tabs? Why not merge them?
6. The set up process to link rooms to office 365 was OK, but the search function was not 100% successful in finding room names.
7. There are no end user guides. This was very frustrating as I had to create my own.

Clear and easy to use, with a very responsive UX team
Reviewed on 2021/11/17
Pros
We're a charity transitioning from small to mid-sized, and Kadence has really helped with managing our space in our head office. It's clear and easy to use, we particularly like the interactive floor plan of our office which shows which desks are booked and which are available, and it's useful being able to see who is in booked in where and at what time. The UX team are very responsive and regularly release updates to improve its usability and add handy features.
Cons
There's not a lot we don't like about Kadence - I would say that it would be useful to add descriptions/labels to desk bookings in case there's any extra info that it would be useful for others in the office to have when they're looking for spaces to book. Equally while Kadence has been a simple and cost-effective way of managing our space in head office as a small/mid-sized charity, I can't comment on whether it's value for money for larger organisations which require the paid version of Kadence.

Pros
I have found the software very easy to navigate which is a massive bonus when it comes to rolling out to staff in my organisation. Integration was seamless and the support was excellent, always willing to engage and patience when understanding how we wanted the system to work for us.
Cons
At first some of the options available were limited especially from a administer point of view. However these issues have been addressed and system is becoming easier and easier to use.

Kadence Desk Booking
Reviewed on 2021/12/12
Pros
The ease of use of both the mobile app and the browser based solution are excellence. The ability to book a desk with little to no instructions is just what we were after. Visual representations of the building and the insights into the occupancy of offices are also extremely useful.
Cons
The platform is still "young" compared to other products so some features seen elsewhere are not yet present. However, there is significant work going into product development so I feel that the feature set will be equivalent if not better to competitors in short order.

Pros
Chargifi is really easy to use and understand, it has enabled our team to return to the office with confidence and clarity.
Cons
As this is quite a new software there is still some functionality being worked on to be added at a later date. One of these was employees being able to see which other team members have booked desk space on the days they are considering, which this was added to an update today. There are still some elements we think the system needs and after feeding this back we are assured they are in the pipeline.

Excellent. Easy to deploy, easy to use and the business have adopted without issues showing its a slick platform.
Pros
Deploying the app to users on their iOS device was simple and easy. Users like it because in a few clicks they've booked their hot desk and the EA team find it easy to administer.
Cons
I feel the BI aspect could be better. Although there are stats and graphs they don't usually have much value. Its needs to be enriched somehow, maybe a bespoke BI report where you can opt in or out from more reporting features/modules
