Joan's team grid module enables supervisors to track team members’ activities and availability, reducing work interruptions. Administrators can configure the platform in multiple languages, set office timings and upload business logos. Additionally, managers and leaders can generate reports to gain insight into room utilization rates, track meeting patterns, identify popular rooms and monitor no-show meetings. Joan facilitates integration with several third-party applications, such as Office 365, Slack, Zapier, Microsoft Teams, and more. It also provides iOS and Android mobile applications, which let users book rooms remotely. It is available on monthly or annual subscriptions and support is extended via documentation, email and FAQs. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 76 users.

Integrates with Exchange/Outlook and really helps with the scheduling of rooms and resources. > > **Cons**: Nothing\! I have not found anything I don't like about it. > > Scheduling rooms - visual reminder of who has the room or resource scheduled, eliminates poachers and let's people schedule the room on the spot. ----- ### "Joan Experience Review" — 5.0/5 > **Gary** | *26 August 2025* | Gambling & Casinos | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Admin page is user-friendly and easy to maintain. Customer support always response in a quick manner, especially, \[sensitive content hidden\]\! For the employees, they're happy with the system since it's easy to use and is simple to work around > > **Cons**: No main floor plan layout. Since we have a big office, we're keen on adding a floor plan in the reception area so that the users know what rooms are booked or not. > > Amazing, straight forward, no bugs whatsoever, quick support response time and the office work environment became better ----- ### "Just okay" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 January 2020* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: This program is used in our lab space in order to indicate to students when they are able to enter a particular room for their assessment to be recorded > > **Cons**: While the software works as described, it tends to be rather "glitchy" and does not always perform as intended. > > Just okay - will continue to use for the time-being, but if something better comes along, may change. ----- ### "Promoting, implementing and introducing JOAN in my last two companies has a reason, hasn't it?" — 4.0/5 > **Yoan** | *26 November 2025* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The e-display technology that is truly wireless and demands no constant power (which needs cabling), vs. the offerings based on tablets. > > **Cons**: Well, the e-ink touchscreen technology is a bit laggy. Other thing that I would benefit from is more materials that I can use to "educate" the users to make the transition from post-it notes to Joan meeting room reservation solution and to start using the system and respecting other's reservations, etc. > > Great, I have also used the support couple of times and it is prompt and helpful. Sales support too. ----- ### "A Beautiful and Functional Tablet with Great Support, but Mind the Mount" — 5.0/5 > **Kenyon** | *9 September 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Joan makes fantastic tablets that have significantly improved our appointment management. We use about 15 of them, and they are beautiful and extremely easy to use, displaying upcoming meetings and the current meeting status at a glance. What I like most is the e-ink display; it's gorgeous and makes the tablet incredibly battery-efficient. We only need to charge them once a month or every two months. While the initial cost may seem steep, the value is justified by the incredible customer support we've received, which has resolved every issue we've had. Beyond meeting rooms, the visitor management system is a significant pro. It streamlines the check-in process, replacing manual sign-in sheets with a smooth, digital experience. Visitors can pre-register or sign in on the spot, and the system can automatically send notifications to the host's email, SMS, or via an app alert, ensuring they are promptly aware of their guest's arrival. This creates a much more professional and seamless first impression. > > **Cons**: The biggest issue we've had is with the physical hardware. The magnets, while seemingly secure, allow the tablets to fall easily if they are gently bumped. On top of that, the case is prone to splitting or breaking upon impact. While we've been lucky that most have continued to function, this lack of durability is a concern. > > Our overall experience with Joan Tablets has been very positive. The beautiful e-ink displays, fantastic battery life, and powerful features like the visitor management system make them a great solution for managing our office space. While the physical durability is a concern, the exceptional customer support has always been there to help, making them a worthwhile investment. I would highly recommend these, but with the caveat to place them somewhere they are unlikely to be bumped. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/146320/joan?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/146320/joan) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
