Logitech or NEAT for Conference AV Solution?

[smithf]

Hello,

I’m new here, but wanted to see if anyone has experience with larger conference rooms using either the Logitech Rally Bar Pro + Tap or the NEAT Bar Pro.

It has to have integration with Teams and be independent from computer input. Ideally, we should also be able to optionally cast our screen to the T.V without being in a team’s call and Audio is the bigger factor over video.

We currently use the Owl Pros, but they are not sufficient for our needs as we sometimes get a lot of background noise in the conference rooms due to the shop floor being loud.

Has anyone had experiences with these two? Thanks!

We have a few of both. The Logitech systems are solid solutions, but really cable heavy on the installs. The Neat systems i thought were going to be the next best thing, but we pulled them out of service for not being reliable. Its a great concept, but the tracking isn’t solid and the system is very sensitive to movement. We are on the 4th floor of a building and the camera picks up the slight sway the building does. They also release firmware fixes all the time showing its not super stable yet. Their salesmen are good though and initially sold us on them. We recently installed a Yealink bar that is similar to the Neat. Not as many features, but very similar. And costs half. The Logi systems are super solid if you can get away with good cable management.

Thanks @chadpoole2833 , we’re in talks with both companies but your comments have got us checking ourselves a little bit on the NEAT Bar until we can demo Logitech
