The ability to reach people on the go is probably the most important aspect of this tool - particularly because it doesn't require revealing personal numbers or having to keep too many people in a contact list. Push to talk with advanced voice recognition saves time and the effort of having to track down who's assigned where. Another good feature is the ability to use external numbers to connect to users in the platform. If I don't have a Vocera device on me, I can still contact users in the system using a phone number, which adds added flexibility and features to the platform.

The devices are not cheap and require various means of attaching to the body or else they are slippery and can fall out of a pocket, etc. easily. Voice recognition has limitations - sometimes it will not understand what I am trying to say - but this has improved greatly over the last several years. Would be better if the mic could be switched on or off and the assistant works only when the mic is on, but is always listening when the mic is on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
