Mersive Solstice Reviews

We can easily share computer screens or phones to the conference room TV.

Sometimes users struggle to connect to the system.

Conference room meetings.

It's so easy to use and it makes any room with a screen a conference room. Every action is seen on the monitor that is being used so it is great for learning about processes online.

Sometimes it is a little delayed. The connection codes are stingy, too.

We used it so people could chime in on what was being done on the screen and to teach people computer processes.

Solstice allows us to quickly and easily share content and screens in conference rooms. Any device from a PC or Mac to a mobile phone can easily mirror their display using Solstice.

The mobile iOS software is somewhat cumbersome to use. You first have to launch the app, connect to the solstice system from within the app, and then you must leave the app to initiate sharing from within native iOS.

We needed a way for anyone to share content and screen from any type of device.

Can work with both ios and android devices.

wireless presentation. No need for the bulky adapter and cables laying on the conference room floor.

no cables required.

simply works on wifi.

simplicity of use.

I love how easy it is to use. It's so intuitive. And unlike other screen sharing services my company has used, Solstice has never let me down. It never stops sharing in the middle of the meetings, there is no lag, and the picture is always clear.

I don't like that I can't pause my screen in meetings. Sometimes I need to check my email which is something not everyone needs to see. It sounds simple, but having the ability to do that would be a game changer.

I use this service whenever I am presenting to my clients or in an internal meeting with coworkers to ensure we viewing the same material. It comes in handy when brainstorming and reviewing documents as a team.

It works on all popular platforms, its very straightforward and can screen share very easily.

It can be a bit slow, and the software was set up at my employer in a way that I could see previous users of a conference monitor.

Remote collaborations with easy screen sharing.

The software is user friendly, secure, and powerful. Individuals can easily figure out how to connect from their device of choice. Content streams pretty seamlessly, even when sharing multiple items. No dongle is required, meaning there is nothing that can walk off.

The system requires a hard-wired network connection. You cannot use the system in wifi only spaces. Even though you are purchasing the device, it requires regular updates. Once the warranty expires, Mersive requires that you pay to renew the warranty in order to get the newest updates and support newer devices.

The other major downside is the lag between audio and video content. It can be very distracting and downright jarring, especially when watching video of people talking. Other wireless solutions do a better job of syncing up the audio and video content.

We use Solstice pods at work to project onto two large screens. They are easy to connect to once you download it. All you have to do is open the app and type in the 4 digit code. Also, I like that when you are sharing your screen that the disconnect button is very compact. It does not take up much of the screen... so it does not interfere with other content that you have up.

I do not like that you don't have the option to pause your screen. When I am giving a lecture, I sometimes need to hide the screen from students (if I need to check a grade or want to do work while they try a problem on their own). The only option that comes up is to stop sharing screen.

I would recommend downloading the app to make connecting to the display easier. If you don't download the app, you have to enter the IP address into your internet browser each time. If you have the app, you just open it and enter in the 4 digit pin to connect. The first time is not at easy because you have to enter in the IP address. Also, I would recommend having all your content ready because once you connect, you cannot just quickly hide your screen, you have to disconnect completely.

The benefits are that students can see the lectures on the large projection screens.

I like the ability to share documents or the processes we use within the company to one another or to present projects/proposals when we have clients or peers in the meeting.

My main issue would be that it lags at times when I try to disconnect or it runs slower as I’m switching to a different users computer. But that’s about my only complaint.

Make sure the previous person is logged off before trying to share your screen or document windows, it can cause slight issues with switching
