Great Idea, Poor Execution We bought two Owls for our conferences between offices. They were great to start, but we quickly found that the audio quality was almost unusable. Lots of pieces of conversations were dropped and we surmised it was due to some overzealous attempt at blocking out background noise. Great idea and the hardware seems good, but the software is not there yet.

Part of the team Honestly I really love our Owl. We've been mostly working from home, so I usually end up in the office alone unless we're doing a conference call. There's something oddly comforting about the cute little 'hoot' the Owl makes when connecting. It's like having a useful pet/coworker there, even when I'm alone in the office. On a more serious note, I love being able to wander over to the whiteboard without worrying about staying in frame or whether or not I'm speaking loudly enough. It's sleek design fits in nicely with our the design of our conference room and ends up being a conversation starter for guests.

Beautiful Design, Horrible Product. We used an OWL 3 and HQ at an offsite meeting and loved it, so we purchased our own. But the technical requirements for set-up reminded me of setting up a network in 1999! Absolutely horrible! Thank goodness we bought a test one first because we wanted to role out 100 company-wide! Owl needs to make the process easier, and not require Admin level knowledge! Plus - if you don't have Microsoft of Google Admin's - you're completely out of luck!

Just plain awesome all around. Our office went through dozens of microphone and camera options and all were pretty awful. We even tried studio rated microphones and expensive cameras and none of them were what you would call good especially for a tech company. We unpacked the owl and called a bunch of our remote employees and every one of their first responses was "WOW! This is way better than anything else you have tried we should get more of these". Would recommend everyone get one.

Not an enterprise solution Not an enterprise solution. I have opened two tickets in the last 2 weeks. No response from Owl Labs other than the auto reply "we are experiencing higher than usual response times...." I went through the demo, which was great. But once you receive the device and begin trying to decipher how to integrate it into your Office 365 environment, you realize it was inadequate to put it nicely. Beyond that the support has been non-existent. This is a $5000 system and I unfortunately will have to box it back up and return it. Two thumbs down
