Logitech vs Cisco Room Bar Pro: Do Businesses Still Need Enterprise AV Systems?

Some do, but fewer than before. A Cisco system earns its keep when a company runs Webex, manages its rooms in Cisco Control Hub, needs standards-based integration such as AES67 microphones or Cisco codecs, or wants room data across a Cisco estate. For the large majority of rooms that simply host Teams, Zoom or Google Meet calls, a Logitech Rally Bar 2 covers the job with less complexity and a lower price. The Cisco Room Bar Pro is a strong device in its own right: two 48MP cameras, 16 microphones, up to three screens, Cisco's Frames AI framing, and the choice of Cisco RoomOS or Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android. At SourceIT the Rally Bar 2 is S$5,878.08 and the Room Bar Pro in the First Light finish is S$9,150.00 (listed 2 Nov 2026), a difference of S$3,271.92. We have not tested either system ourselves.

How do the two compare?

From Logitech's Rally Bar 2 datasheet (2026), Cisco's Room Bar Pro data sheet (updated 5 Oct 2026) and Techzine's launch report (7 Jun 2023). Microsoft certifies the Cisco Room Bar Pro for Teams Rooms on Android until 15 Aug 2028. Prices from SourceIT's store, listed 2 Nov 2026.

What does "enterprise AV" still give you?

• Scale and integration. Room Bar Pro accepts up to eight Cisco IP or AES67 network microphones and supplies PoE to its Room Navigator and two further AV-over-IP devices. Larger Cisco rooms move up to codec-based kits such as the Room Kit Pro or Room Kit EQ, with PTZ cameras and separate audio.
• One management plane. Control Hub manages Cisco devices, Webex calling and workplace analytics together, with on-premises options for organisations that need them.
• Platform choice on the same hardware. Room Bar Pro can run Cisco RoomOS or Teams Rooms on Android, which helps companies moving between Webex and Teams.

The trade-off is complexity. Cisco notes that Room Bar Pro's microphones are optimised for people within 4 m and recommends external microphones beyond that, so medium rooms can quickly need extra hardware and design work.

Enterprise AV is not dead. It has moved up to the rooms that really need it: the big, the divisible and the Webex-standardised.

Is Logitech becoming an enterprise AV vendor too?

Yes, in the large-room tier. Logitech's announced Rally System 2 Pro, due in summer 2027, combines the RoomMate 2 Pro compute, Rally AI Camera Pro, a new Rally Speaker 2 and Rally Mic Pod 2 units over Logitech Link, category cable that carries AV without extenders or PoE injectors, and promises divisible rooms with "no programming required". It is a preview with no price yet, and SourceIT does not sell it. We cover it in Logitech Rally System 2 Pro: Is This the End of Complicated Boardroom AV Installations?

Until then, Logitech's large-room option is a Rally Bar 2 with Rally AI Cameras and extra Mic Pod 2 units, or the original Rally Plus system.

Interoperability and management

• Webex shops: Cisco is the natural choice; RoomOS devices are native Webex endpoints and join Zoom and Google Meet calls through interoperability.
• Teams, Zoom or Google Meet shops: Rally Bar 2 runs all three natively on one device, so the room does not need to change if the company changes platform.
• Mixed fleets: both can run Teams Rooms on Android, so either can be managed in the Teams Admin Center alongside the vendor's own tool. See Can Your IT Team Manage 100 Different Conference Room Devices?

Which should you choose?

1. Cisco Room Bar Pro if you are standardised on Webex or Control Hub, need AES67 microphones or three screens, or are building towards larger Cisco codec rooms. Our Cisco Room Bar guide covers the range.
2. Logitech Rally Bar 2 for Teams, Zoom or Google Meet rooms where simplicity, built-in room data and a 2-year warranty matter more than enterprise integration.
3. Compare the whole bill, including support contracts, licences and installation. See Logitech vs Yealink: Are Businesses Paying Too Much for Video Conferencing Equipment?
