Polycom Trio 8800 Poly Cloud Services

[Tobi42]

Hi Everyone, 

I noticed there is a cloud status / Poly Cloud Services on the webinterface of our Polycom Trio 8800 Kits. 

We have a total of 8 kits in our environment and I was wondering what´s the best way to provision it. 

I´ve called Poly sales, and mentioned the cloud services, but the sales representative didn´t know anything about it. He mentioned Poly Lens and Poly real connect but forwarded the inquiry to our supplier. I have also reached out to the Poly support but they forwarded me  to our supplier too. Our supplier asked me to get in contact with a local Polycom partner or Poly itself to clarify. They don´t sell any Polycom cloud services due to complexity. 

So I´ve tried to find some information by myself and let´s say I´m not even mad at our supplier. The information on the Poly website is a mess. I find a lot of marketing nonsense but when trying to find actual technical details you are lost. 

For instance, I found the following website:

https://www.poly.com/us/en/products/services/cloud/polycom-device-management-enterprise

According to the Datasheet, I can create a trial but the link is dead.

Anyways. I hope that anyone can help me here. 

Which products are suitable for a small environment of 8 Polycom Trio 8800?

Hello @Tobi42 ,

Welcome to the Poly Community.

Not sure which reseller you worked with but the major ones should be aware and trained in our products.

I would suggest you chose Lens as this is our latest solution and is free.

I try and get hold of the team that controls the web so we can fix the missing links.

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

Best Regards

Hi Steffen, 

Thank you very much for your fast reply.

I will try lens. 

Could you please recommend a reseller for Germany?

I think for customers, It would help a lot to have some kind of overview / spreadsheet of products which allow to manage Polycom devices. Maybe something like that exists already?
