When to Choose Neat Bar Gen 2
Design-conscious organizations using Zoom or Teams that want the latest AI framing technology in medium-sized rooms
The Neat Bar Gen 2 builds on Neat's design-first philosophy with a significantly upgraded camera and AI engine. The 50MP sensor and improved Neat Symmetry deliver noticeably better framing than the original. The Zoom/Teams-only limitation remains, but for those platforms, it's one of the most elegant solutions available.
Strengths
- Next-generation Neat Symmetry AI with improved multi-person framing accuracy
- Sleek, minimal design that blends seamlessly into modern meeting spaces
- 50MP camera sensor with 4K output and excellent low-light performance
- Neat Pulse cloud management with zero-touch provisioning for IT teams
Limitations
- Limited to Zoom and Teams — no Google Meet or open SIP support
- Sold primarily through AV channel partners — not widely available on Amazon
- Neat Pad controller adds $700+ to total deployment cost
When to Choose Poly Studio X32
Huddle rooms and small meeting spaces (2-8 people) that want Poly's integrated compute and AI features at a lower price
The Poly Studio X32 brings Poly's all-in-one approach to smaller rooms at a much more accessible price point. NoiseBlockAI and integrated Zoom/Teams compute are included, and Poly Lens management works identically to the larger models. The best entry point into Poly's ecosystem for smaller spaces.
Strengths
- Compact all-in-one with integrated Zoom and Teams compute at an accessible price
- Same NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence as higher-end Poly models
- Poly Lens cloud management included for enterprise deployment
- Ideal for huddle rooms and small meeting spaces
Limitations
- Limited to ~8 participants — not suitable for medium or large rooms
- Single camera limits AI framing capabilities compared to X52/X72
- Audio pickup range designed for small spaces only
