When to Choose Neat Bar Pro
Large conference rooms (14-20 people) in Zoom or Teams environments that prioritize design and AI framing
The Neat Bar Pro combines striking industrial design with powerful AI video capabilities. Neat Symmetry's multi-camera framing is among the best available, and Neat Pulse makes IT management straightforward. The limited platform support (Zoom/Teams only) is the main drawback for organizations using Google Meet or open SIP.
Strengths
- Three wide-angle cameras with Neat Symmetry for intelligent participant framing
- Stunning industrial design with premium materials and minimal footprint
- Neat Pulse cloud management for remote monitoring and updates
- Purpose-built for Zoom and Microsoft Teams with deep native integration
Limitations
- Limited to Zoom and Teams — no open SIP or Google Meet support
- Premium pricing at $5,850 for the bar alone (Neat Pad controller sold separately)
- Older product (2022) though still actively supported with regular firmware updates
When to Choose Poly Studio X52
Medium conference rooms (8-14 people) that need integrated compute with Zoom or Teams Rooms
The Poly Studio X52 sits in the sweet spot of Poly's lineup — capable enough for medium-to-large rooms without the X72's premium price. The integrated compute eliminates the need for a separate room PC, and Poly's AI Director handles multi-person framing well. A solid mid-range choice in Poly's ecosystem.
Strengths
- Integrated compute with native Zoom and Teams Rooms — no external PC needed
- Dual-camera system with AI Director for intelligent participant framing
- NoiseBlockAI eliminates background noise from keyboards, HVAC, and nearby conversations
- Poly Lens cloud management for enterprise-wide deployment and monitoring
Limitations
- Positioned between X32 and X72 — may not be the best value at this price point
- Large form factor for medium rooms compared to more compact alternatives
- Google Meet support requires separate compute module
