### "We LOVE OptiSigns"

November 9, 2023

5.0

is so simple to setup and the customer service is top notch. \[sensitive content hidden\] is always very responsive. Digital signage is now one of our favorite services to sell to new customers.

Pros

allows us to offer an affordable and professional solution to our customers who need digital signage. The ability to edit and update content within moments is great and OptiSigns simple platform makes digital signage a win win for us.

Cons

We wish that there was an app to include our iCal in our feed. We also don't love that several apps don't seem to work - Monday.com for example - at least they don't work on all screens - it would be nice if system / platform requirements were listed with the apps so we could see that it won't work prior to installing it and setting it up.

I was using Yodeck via a customer's account & was not pleased with the quality or the platform. The ability to use without additional equipment (Raspberry etc) is a huge benefit for us and our customers.

November 9, 2023

5.0

Pros

Flexible across screens, medias, formats and contents. High value per cost.

Cons

Prices should go down as you scale up. Could become expensive if you have a big number of screens.

Reason for choosing OptiSigns

### "So far, so good"

June 18, 2024

5.0

My overall experience is great! Again, within a sandbox environment, I've used it twice. Once to show content during a luncheon, and twice to show content to the public during a vendor fair.

Pros

The user-friendly aspect is wonderful. As I mentioned, I was able to upload content and create a playlist with zero training.

Cons

No cons. I'm sure once I get used to the technology, I can give you feedback here, but nothing now.

### "Optisigns has been great!"

November 6, 2023

5.0

For the most part has been excellent. Compared to the alternatives our organization has used, it's been outstanding. We look forward to continuing to use and grow with OptiSigns at more of our businesses.

Pros

Our restaurant started with digital signage software from the company who set up the Point of Sale system. The scheduling interface was very clunky, out-dated, and hard to understand. is the complete opposite. The web-based interface is very convenient and easy to understand. The signs update remotely in seconds, and the ability to customize your graphics where any user can update easily and the ability to add widgets like weather, sports scores and more is a huge plus!

Cons

It's hard to find any negatives with , but if I had to pick out a con I believe the online signage editor could be a little more user-friendly. It's not bad, but it takes a little practice to get used to the editor.

We use to display our employees names where they are working. Display of the shift planning.

Cons

### "Great application with many features and few flaws."

March 14, 2024

4.0

Optisign is a good alternative for companies, where you need to publish information on TV's in many locations.

Pros

Creating own layout. Publications from Google documents/ presentations managed by specific employees.

Cons

We have problem with 100% preview with Google documents - doesn't fit in TV, and we need to test different size to match it. We have to publish important information manually - it will be nice to turn on automatic refresh data every 1-5 min.

Reason for choosing OptiSigns

Optisign have the most widgets and good integrations with google applications.

### "Optisigns has been great for our hotel!"

March 11, 2024

4.0

Pros

We are a large hotel with banquet space. We need to display property-specific information to our guests daily (on-site dining, outside weather, local resources). When we have events going on, we also need to display event-specific information (meeting times, location, etc.). makes it so easy to pre-schedule and toggle from playlist to playlist. The best this is that it can be managed remotely - no more flash drives being unplugged and then plugged back in!

Cons

The design application is a bit clunky. We are used to using Canva and are accustomed to how user-friendly it is. In time, we will become more accustomed to the design tool. Though you can upload JPEGs into the asset library, I hope one day we will be able to upload videos, too!

Reason for choosing OptiSigns

Price! had a great price on their product, and had an awesome Black Friday sale.

### "PIke's Peak Lemonade Review"

November 6, 2023

5.0

Fantastic! Quick to set up and easy to use!

Pros

When I first started looking at digital signage options, the process got overwhelming very fast. Reviews like these help me make a quicker decision. was super easy to learn (unlike other platforms). I had my first screen set up in minutes using my own digital content. The scheduling platform was super helpful to set up different menus for different times of the day. I love being able to update my signage remotely, as our menu can change on a daily basis. The support has been super helpful each time I've used them - quick and friendly replies both on email and phone. I highly recommend using them.

Cons

Not much. As I've said, they've been great! My only complaint is with using the ROKU app. Because of ROKU's "sleep mode", I have to use a screensaver option on my ROKU TV using . I don't know if anything has changed with this, but I know it's not really an Optisigns issue. Optisigns was able to put out a fix for this pretty fast, which I appreciated. It's a ROKU thing, and I already don't like ROKU. :)

Reason for choosing OptiSigns

Again, it was super easy to set up and provided a better user experience.

Overall experience is good. The main use for us has been met with ease.

Pros

Cons

### "Simple to use, robust capabilities"

December 12, 2022

5.0

We have been able to use beautiful graphics to advertise our groups and events that would have cost a lot in print and created clutter and waste, not to mention time spent hanging posters and taking them down.

Pros

has made our transition to digital signage a breeze. We can invite many team members to submit graphics to our library, but our content managers have control over what is displayed, when, and how.

Cons

So far, I have not found something that we do not like about this. We were hesitant to spend money on software to manage the screens, but the time we save by using actually saves us money in the short-term AND long-term.

### "Best Choice for Choice"

April 21, 2024

5.0

I have no complaints. The few times I have needed help, they were available quickly and efficiently. They even let me know when it hadn't been running for a while (a problem on our end I hadn't been informed of), so I could get that fixed.

Pros

The ease of use for this product is worlds better than what we were using previously. Basically drag and drop with schedules and playlists. I was able to set up a schedule the first day and have been adding and subtracting from the playlists as needed ever since. Easy to set up on our television, and easy for my team to keep updated.

Cons

I could do with fewer emails from them, but I'm sure that's in a setting somewhere that I have yet to track down due to my own prioritization. The system itself has yet to disappoint me in any way.

### "A Game Changer for Digital Signage"

March 8, 2024

5.0

I was unfamiliar with the brand but most of the forums I consulted mentioned as the premiere solution for signage in a restaurant/cafe setting. I was initially unsure how the device would work in our environment but it exceeded my expectations. It has made connecting with our customers and promoting products infinitely easier.

Pros

There was genuinely no difficulty in getting set up and deployed at our locations. The interface is easy to understand, easy to use and easy to get going. It can do everything I want it to do and more.

Cons

I'm sure that there will be some issues and frustrations that arise, but at this moment I have genuinely no qualms. I wanted a digital signage solution and delivered.

December 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love that we can communicate with our membership in a dynamic and eye-catching way. I also like the ability to create a different playlist for each screen to cater to our different audiences here at a private country club. The playlist features are easy to use and I can manage the screens from anywhere.

Cons

The design interface could be improved. It is not as user friendly as a design tool such as Canva or Photoshop. Currently it is easier to create on another platform and upload the design.

### "I love OptiSign!"

November 8, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with has been highly positive. The platform has significantly improved our in-store communications and allowed us to engage with our customers more effectively. One incident that stands out was during the holiday season; we were able to quickly adapt our content to reflect a flash sale, which noticeably increased foot traffic and sales. Despite the occasional hiccup with customer service, the benefits of using OptiSigns have been substantial. The increased engagement and the ability to promptly update and adapt our content have been game-changers. I would recommend OptiSigns to businesses looking to streamline their digital signage management with an easy-to-use and powerful tool. We plan to continue using OptiSigns for the foreseeable future and are exploring even more of its features to maximize our customer engagement.

Pros

What I liked most about was its incredibly intuitive user interface, which made the process of managing our digital signage content a breeze. The drag-and-drop functionality for scheduling content across various screens was seamless and required very little technical expertise. The feature I found most useful was the real-time content update capability, which allowed us to keep our messaging timely and relevant, especially during high-traffic periods in our retail stores.

Cons

What I liked least about was occasionally experiencing a slower response from customer support. Although the issues we faced were minor and not frequent, there were times when I felt that the response to our queries could have been more prompt. This aspect did sometimes slow down our ability to resolve issues quickly and efficiently, particularly when we were rolling out new advertising campaigns.

### "OptiSigns - Powerful digital signage that's easy to use"

November 9, 2023

5.0

We just jumped right in and began using the trial and then switched over to paid accounts. We tried a few different hardware platforms before standardizing on OptiSign's own Android controllers (should have started there). This is a very powerful system that is easy to configure and requires minimal daily care & feeding.

Pros

Very easy to set up and configure, even without extensive training or documentation. Of course, that helps, though. We were up and running by "just jumping in and doing it." Another huge benefit is the choices of controller devices. Their own Android stick is less than $100 and works just as well as some other hardware costing much, much more.

Cons

Honestly, I have no complaints. The portal, support, and hardware has been perfect for us.

March 11, 2024

5.0

I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction and gratitude for the exceptional experience I recently had with OptSigns Digital Signage Software. As a user of your platform, I found the entire journey to be remarkably positive, and I wanted to share my feedback. First and foremost, the user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it incredibly easy for me to navigate and customize my digital signage content. The range of features provided is extensive, allowing for dynamic and engaging displays that captivate our audience. One standout aspect is the seamless integration with various media formats, providing flexibility and creativity in content creation. The scheduling and remote management features have been invaluable, allowing me to efficiently update and control displays across multiple locations. The customer support team deserves special commendation for their prompt and knowledgeable assistance. Whenever I encountered a query or needed clarification, they were quick to respond and provided solutions that exceeded my expectations. OptSigns Digital Signage Software has truly elevated our communication strategy, enhancing our brand presence and engagement levels. I am genuinely impressed with the reliability, functionality, and overall performance of your software.

### "Very functional mobile app and easy to adjust content from anywhere"

May 27, 2022

5.0

The ease of use, ability to schedule content from anywhere, and quality of playback using has been a gamechanger for us. We continue to find new ways to engage our guests now that we have unlocked so many possibilities with a platform that stays up to date with technological changes in the industry.

Pros

It is so easy to schedule content, edit playlists and switch out media.

Cons

There are some small interface issues with scheduling custom repeating events that show up here and there. This is not a major issue as it can be solved by refreshing and recreating the event, but it is worth refining. I also would like to see the emergency message center added to the mobile app, and a bit quicker response on the support side. These are all things that I believe will be improved as this platform continues to grow.

### "More functionality at a lower price, compared to current software"

March 30, 2022

5.0

I am using this to show videos in my lobby, slideshows about new services in my exam room and for my staff I am displaying a Google Data Studio dashboard that shows them their goal completions. The ability to automate a the entire process (set it and forget it) is gold, while my customers/patients see helpful and entertaining information (plus a little marketing) while they wait to be seen. Any type of business in any industry could benefit from displaying messages on a TV screen, especially since TV's are so cheap. You can even have a TV in the bathroom with a sports ticker from ESPN (a free app with ).

Pros

I just recently signed up for a trial with and was sold from the first hour of playing with it. It's super easy to upload or create assets and add them to playlists. In addition there seems to be an app for every need, including embedding a Google Data Studio dashboard for my team members to look at. What I really like is that I can schedule playlists for the entire year in advance. I created playlists for every month and scheduled them for the entire year, which includes holiday messages for specific months. I am a doctor and am using OptiSigns to display slideshows in my lobby & exam room for our patients, educating them about other services we offer. Compared to the service I am currently using, OptiSigns costs half and has more functionality.

Cons

There is a upload limit of 1GB with the trial and 10GB per screen for the paid version. Since I am using this for HD videos, it would be nicer to have a more generous limit nut not a big deal.

We tried a handful of other products and is the best we've encountered so far - in ease of use, functionality, device management, and cost per device - for fully managed/supported devices and platform.

I love this software. This is the second time I have had to interact and use the software. I love managing the messaging the first time around, so when I heard that they want to use OptiSign in my new role within the same institution, I was onboard and pushed to get it set up. It was also helpful to my new division that I had already interacted with the software before so I could train others to use the software.

Pros

After a little bit of playing with the software, it becomes user friendly and easy to use. There are so many different things you can do with this software. There are many free templates that can be used to speed up and decrease the time you need to get your messaging across.

Cons

I don't have a con for this system. The issues I have faced have been user error.

### "Very good for starting with digital signage, could be slightly better."

October 26, 2022

5.0

I like majority of the features but as I mentioned above some of the features could be slightly better. I am an avid photographer, video editor, graphics designer and when I connect these three media technology fields and try to use my human capacity at max, this software fails to deliver. I have so many great ideas for our display and I am able to develop them only to be disappointed because my ideas that I've worked on do not display properly on screen. They lag and glitch. Beside that...If I try to close my eyes and ignore the glitching of 70% of assets within my playlist I am extremely happy with this software. This software has a good price, with unfortunate storage limitation that is nowhere written (it says unlimited in all of the pricing plans) so beware if you wanna use this software to it's max potential. You will be stopped with a message saying "You have reached your account storage limit" or something like that. So more than 3 quaility videos are not an option. And if you host them on vimeo or youtube they look pixelated a lot on screen (compression is horrible). Websites load slow, glitch but at least it has this feature. I would give this product a solid 3.9 out of 5. I am pleased with it I just believe developers could fix small bugs and issues so USER EXPERIENCE would be even better.

Pros

I liked how I could easily use it even from the start. I tried the trial version so far and as soon as I entered the website it was easy to manage everything. Pretty straightforward software and If you have some computer knowledge you will be happy with this, it is not complicated at all. I love how responsive it is in most cases. I love the social media integration. I belive this feature is the best this has to offer. I love how I can manage (almost!) everything to small details. For instance clock costumization, weather costumization. I love how well it connects to our website and displays it. I love how I can change content and it will read it fast and update right away. I love the Visual Editor, it gives me hope, but wish it was a bit better. Looks like GUI editor is still in development process.

Cons

I least liked the Visual Editor. Bugging, glitching, loading my assets took tiiiiime. I did a 30 min dog walk while waiting for one single asset to load so I can re-edit something. The clock feature does not work well with images, it starts before images and it glitches on screen for 10 seconds and then the images I've put inside appear. So blank screen (technically because the clock is white and there is white background that starts automatically with it). I've put images below the clock to make the white clock visible. I did killer design and I cannot believe how bad it looks because not all assets inside the design load on the same time. The templates are fine, but if you are handy with graphic design like I am they won't be needed. The animations are lacking since there are no animations for panning image left to right or top to bottom. There are only animations for in and out of screen and it looks like a complete copy of Google Slides. I dislike how I cannot see what is on screen. I believe this is a payed feature but still I would at least like to see what I will pay for. This is the most crucial thing for me since I have to manage a screen that is 300+ km away and not being able to test out the debug feature is bad. How can I be sure everything will "fit" for me since I cannot see what will I pay for. Hence why I plan to subscribe for one month only to check it out in full and then see what I will do in future. I like the software so I hope this feature will be okay.

Reason for choosing OptiSigns

I choose it because of the price and unlimited storage space only to find later that there is actually a storage space limit and that I cannot fully use the possibilities this software offers. The pricing plans that unlimited storage but once you enter free trial you see the full list of features. I will see how this software works in the future regarding space limit

### "Great hospitality upgrade in our restaurant!"

February 14, 2021

5.0

Our goal was to do an upgrade from our regular TV and USB stick setup, which was a pain to manage and therefore very static. We have started a 30-day trial, which is great because of a lack of pressure. Spare time is very limited in the restaurant business. So this gave us plenty of time to evaluate and test out its features. Not requiring a credit card is also nice. Furthermore, the restaurant business is always clamoured for budget. Especially in these Covid-times. Giving us the opportunity to go forward with cheap hardware and software investments (most of the parts were already in place) and delivering a works-just-fine experience is a pleasant surprise. Going forward gave us (all of the personnel) great ideas to pursue with our new found digital signage solution.

Pros

Most prominent features for us are the smooth integrations with the Socials. Instagram and Facebook (business) feeds were a breeze to setup. As well as our Google and FB reviews. This is just great to see for our customers (feedback) as well as our personnel (pride of work). Note: Some other offerings failed totally at or did not support this at all. Any media type (pictures and video) we have thrown at it so far works just right out of the box. Whether in landscape or portrait mode. And being able to fling together a picture with captions, icons and stickers at a moment’s notice is great! The flow from recording on your phone to showing on screen takes 15 minutes. It just works stable and like a charm on our 'low-end' hardware, like our Mi TV Sticks (Android TV). Haven't seen any crashes yet. And rest assured that the app will recover and update itself in case of any issues. Very good set-and-forget setup.

Cons

Having just trialed for a couple of weeks now we have not come across any issues of mention yet. Surely it may lack some super detailed or niche feature sets, customization options or device management others may offer, but the pricing per screen completely makes up for that. The management system may be a bit overwhelming for our employees to self-manage. So management of assets may remain with me, the IT admin, such is life. Although this may be overcome with giving them e.g. access to a Google Slides presentation and incorporate that. And of course, the social and other feeds update themselves automatically. If OptiSigns ever would offer an easy fool-proof phone/tablet-to-screen (iOS and Android) content-creation phone app to manage assets this would be a killer solution!

Reason for choosing OptiSigns

The price-performance comparison is favorable for . It did everything we required and more at a reasonable price per screen. It just works great on low-end hardware. Which is fantastic if your organisation is working on a tight budget. Going from static images to using social feeds and videos is already a huge step forward for us. Having other options available to us in the future (better hardware and further apps to explore) only adds to our excitement to build on this.
