We've had some pretty unique requests over the past year and they always respond willing and ready to help! Pros We love how easy Hootboard is to work with! If we ever have a request or suggestion they are on top of it! They do their best to accommodate our every request! Cons We wish it was easier to add our brochures, such as our Visitors Guide. That is the only thing we wish we could change! Reasons for choosing HootBoard Hootboard was the better option for price and look of the kiosk. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor May 28, 2021 Mary, Thanks for the review and we love to have you as part of the HootBoard community.

Marketing Manager Arts and Crafts ### "Great product with even better support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 21, 2019 The kiosk setup was easy and adding content to the backend was pretty smooth too. Our customers seem to really appreciate the interactivity and dynamic display. Pros Working for a unique business, it was very difficult to find a product versatile enough to meet all of our needs. HootBoard is not only easy to use but can be made to work for a variety of different use cases which was perfect for our team. We use the interactive kiosk and the TV screens, and both the front end and back end experiences were great. Cons Since HootBoard is a new company there are a few minor bugs in the software. But for every issue that we ran into the support team was available and ready to help us find a solution. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) We formerly used a WordPress site that functioned as a slideshow on our TV screens. The content was difficult to adjust and the screens weren't eye-catching enough.

Communications Manager Information Technology and Services ### "Simple, elegant, powerful digital signage" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 6, 2019 We needed a better, faster way to share content across the org at multiple locations and in an engaging, creative way. HootBoard checks all those boxes and then some. Implementation was very easy, support is always timely, HootBoard listens to and acts upon feature/bug requests, and I have only positive things to say about them/the product. We've gone from our initial purchase of one kiosk to 6 displays and as long as they keep up with the stiff digital signage competition, this will only continue to grow. We also recommend this product to our clients that need a simple digital signage solution. Pros Being able to very quickly and easily upload just about any type of content to a distributed network of HootBoards, including touch capable and non touch displays, ensures we're constantly putting up new content. A low barrier to use/administer is essential to user uptake and appreciation. Cons Expensive hardware that's essentially off-the-shelf kiosks. But the software is what makes this product so that can be forgiven.

Vice President, Human Capital Services Public Relations and Communications ### "Simple and effective" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 August 5, 2019 Super simple to implement and utilize daily. Great platform to share company announcements and fun things around the office (that you wouldn't necessarily share via email ). Hootboard provides a unique platform to communicate. Pros It is very easy to use - from initial startup to creating posts each day. Also a great platform for sharing company announcements - things you may not always send an email about (like work anniversaries or birthdays) but want to share with the team. Cons I'd like more control over the screens that the Hootboard scrolls through while idle. I'd also like to be able to edit other admin's posts (as an admin).

Special Projects Public Relations and Communications ### "Great Product That's Still Getting Better" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 5, 2019 We were looking for two things: a way to communicate internally with employees, and a way to highlight the work that we're doing for our clients, to potential customers. Hootboard does both, in a way that's intuitive and different than anything out there. Pros \-Easy to Set Up -Easy to Use -Unique way to communicate with customers and employees -Very responsive support Cons \-Could use more feature and customization, but that's getting better with every update Review source Vendor Referred - Incentive Offered: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. IM Ian M. Assistant Property Manager Real Estate ### "Big Kid Ipad" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 18, 2019 I would rate my experience as very good with the board, the techs, and support staff. They are always all helpful and quick to respond. Pros I like this software because it makes it simple to post resident events and deals in the local area that our residents can view as they get their mail and packages after work. This allows them to see what is going on in the area, building, and what we can offer them outside of just a typical apartment rental. Cons Sometimes there are functionality items that I would like to add, but it is only link based instead of open applications.

Change Manager Biotechnology ### "Very functional communication board" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 March 2, 2019 The Hootboards have been great to help our company with internal communications. One of the best parts of HootBoard is their customer service, we have run into a few speed bumps along the way and we have been able to call or email directly to our rep who has personally helped us through each of the small issue. Pros Ease of Use and Functionality - the user interface looks great and it is easy to manage. We have several kiosks in multiple buildings and it is nice that we can add and update items one time and it will post to all the kiosks. No more walking and driving around to different buildings to hang up flyers and signs. Cons One difficulty we had was not necessarily with the software, but we had a hard time at first getting connected to our work's network. Mostly just finding an appropriate way through the network firewall, once we resolved that issue the Hootboards have worked great! Review source Vendor Referred - Incentive Offered: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. MM Meghan M. Director of Communications Government Administration ### "HootBoard Benefits Our Workforce and the Public" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 4, 2019 We've noticed citizens constantly stopping by to view the information the kiosk automatically displays, as well as manually scrolling to view other announcements and going to the different apps/widgets such as weather and directory to find out more info. Our employees are very impressed by it and use it also. Our workforce is proud to display this HootBoard. Pros I love the customer service. That is top notch, first of all. Every part from learning about the different options in the beginning to follow-ups and check-ins now that we're official has been great. They also listen to suggestions and have even added new features to match those suggestions and improve service. It's very easy to upload to HootBoard and easy to use the touchscreen kiosk we have in our City Hall lobby. Cons I didn't like how needy the wifi/ethernet connection is sometimes. We have to run an ethernet cable to it because there is no outlet in the location where it best satisfies our needs and wifi is not recommended by HootBoard for the machine as the machine cannot be depended on to stay connected.

The customer service is excellent as well. Pros I love that you can control it from the PC Cons That it has to run off mifi/wifi - it disconnects often and has to be reset.
