Sonos is such a cheap little over-heating plastic POS - we talk smack about Sonos whenever a client brings that shit up. We refuse to install sonos and refer to geeksquat. For customers who need a stand alone streaming player we use these : [Link: usa.yamaha.com]. I have to agree with Brad here. I sell both Sonos and Music Cast. Sonos is easier to use IMHO. The Music Cast app is probably the second easiest of the ones I have used, but is still not where Sonos is with ease of use. The Sonos equipment is the most reliable product I have ever installed. Considering we are talking about a networkable device that relies on outside services to work correctly, that is pretty astonishing.

He either has/had set them up wrong or had really bad luck combined with a small sample size. I have hundreds of Sonos units in the field: Connects, ConnectAmps and Plays, many dating back to the gen 1 models...not a single solitary unit has failed. The only thing as reliable...speakers.

I've lost count of how many Sonos units I have personally installed, let alone what my team has installed. Sonos has its place, and when it is used properly is a very acceptable solution. My team just installed 8 of the Connects on a project, I did not hear of any issues from them. I stopped by after they were done and everything worked as expected. And I found out the client was into old school punk rock, win win!!

150+ Sonos units a year. 1% failure rate. Callbacks are due to app updates/accounts. A few hitches and stutters along the way but the solution is reliable and meets expectations consistently.
I drink the Sonos Koolaid and it is good. Not fancy or highbrow, but satisfying.

I'm wondering if Sonos is starting to initiate a Sonos username password in order to eventually be a service that can tie into Alexa.
