Mersive Solstice Reviews & Product Details

It is impossible to stay connected from a laptop to the screen. It crashes every 5 minutes and there is no ability to share as a second monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buggy and crashes constantly. It is no longer dependable in any of our conference rooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mersive Solstice is an enterprise-level solution for wireless access and screen mirroring which is capable of large-scale deployment. In that sense, it does it's job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The workflow to install the required software, as well as the hardware requirements for the platform, are prohibitive to wide-scale use outside of a really regimented deployment. If your institution all uses the same hardware and is able to deploy all the software and drivers ahead of time then it may not be an issue, but if there is variability in what the users will have as far as hardware specs then Solstice can be quite unpredictable.

Customizable back end, nice looking app with a mobile app version. Simple interface without too many options on the front end. Connecting is quick and easy. The moderator mode is robust, but glitchy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mersive conference doesn't work, the way it virtualizes the call makes it impossible except on very high end devices. Constant crashes, mouse stops working, disconnections, camera stops working, etc. Warnings about system usage because of extremely high CPU usage even on a fairly robust computer. App on PC can be glitchy, names being wrong, crashing, freezing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, it was a constant headache everyday troubleshooting issues. The devices have to be rebooted all the time and then you have to pray that it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything, constantly drops connections and crashes. We had 15 conference rooms set up with the mersive solstice pods and users complained every day. We ended up switching to ClickShare devices and have not had one complaint since then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can easily share computer screens or phones to the conference room TV. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes users struggle to connect to the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solstice has an Enterprise Edition utilizing a dashboard interface that allows you to remotely manage, monitor and configure multiple Solstice Pods. Each Pods welcome screen can be fully branded. The dashboard is run from a PC or dedicated server. They have excellent CS. We had a video buffering issue and they flew down to our site to troubleshoot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You must buy solstice from an authorized vendor and cannot buy directly. Sometimes when sharing a video playback buffered or is sluggish or laggy, other times the audio is out of sync with the vide. Price per Pod is very expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
