Carousel is a cloud-based digital signage software that helps organizations manage announcements, alerts, and visual messaging across distributed screens through a unified control interface. It enables teams to publish content to digital displays in offices, campuses, healthcare facilities, and public spaces. Users can create digital signage content with built-in templates or upload presentations, images, and documents. Content can be scheduled in advance, targeted to specific screens or groups, and updated instantly. Dynamic data feeds and live content integrations help keep signage current. Carousel is designed to work with many common media players and display environments. Role-based permissions help teams manage who can create, edit, and publish content, keeping employees, students, visitors, and guests informed with timely, engaging on-screen communication. ## What is Carousel used for?

If we have questions, support quickly answers them. The beginning process was great, just learning about the system and having a free trial. They even recommended a local shop for us to borrow BrightSign devices for the trial. Pros Carousel is very easy to use. I love that I am able to upload content remotely at any time and then schedule the content. One less thing I have to worry about Cons There isn't much, but maybe the compatibility, and having to purchase a BrightSign Device, which is expensive for us.

Definitely willing to recommend to anyone looking for a signage product, especially when trying to improve company morale and cohesion. Pros Extremely easy to run once you get it going, swapping slides in and out works smoothly, setup on our Apple TVs was great and continues to work well. We use it for everything from announcements about important topics like health insurance enrollment to fun things like birthdays, and it handles both ends and looks great. Cons Some early initial issues related to slides not appearing or disappearing when scheduled, but was able to resolve after coordinating with Carousel's support team. Layout of admin portal could also be confusing. Alternatives considered [BrightSide](https://www.capterra.com/p/168870/BrightSide/) Reasons for choosing Carousel Better support, more modern deployment methods, more flexibility with the online integrations.

I use it almost daily to upload content to our employees. It's easy, quick, and efficient to create, adjust, use, and keep our people informed. Pros It is easy to create and upload content, it has decent options for management of content, and user-friendly. Cons I would like to have a few more design options and/or settings to edit and create a variety of slides, maybe more font options, graphic/icon visuals etc. Would also like to Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Until I used another company then I realized what I was missing. Which was the ease of use. Pros I like how you can see multiple screens you are using. I like how you can edit the posts as well and the sizing feature. Cons The platform seemed a little clunky. It was not user friendly compared to other sites which makes non tech savvy people not want to use it, Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Media Technology Manager Higher Education ### "Carousel Digital Signage works well and is very easy to use" 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 July 2, 2025 Wonderful! Having spoken with many other users on the platform they all have similar feelings. It works, it works well and it is very intuitive for the end users. We have about 200 displays with about 50 users in the platform and there have been no complaints. Pros After reviewing about 7 content management systems for digital signage a few years ago, Carousel stood out on many levels. Ease of use: It's easy to drive after a short introduction. Enterprise needs: Role management, security, SSO, CAP emergency message integration, and more. Customer service and responsiveness: Carousel has an excellent and very responsive customer success team and their engineering group responds to service issues (there are few) feature requests in good fashion. The product is priced right for the market. Cons Least is a difficult term. Carousel is not the "flashiest" product on the market. They began to add a number of new integrations in 2024 and have expanded their player options greatly after a period of time adjusting their service level options for client. Carousel is a measured company when it comes to their changes. We are looking forward to what they have in store in the future!

Support is always very helpful, the online sessions have been great and bringing new team members up to speed is very easy. Pros Compatibility with AppleTV and the ability to manage via JAMF. Content and user management via Tags. Cons Media content per Zone can be a little frustrating. Being able to access a global Media resource would be helpful and avoid a significant amount of duplication.

Feature set seems to improve over time and stay modern. Pros it's easy to use and when I set customers up with the application they find it easy, as well. This is important. Cons it's $200 per license so it is difficult at times to successfully convince new users to engage in digital signage. Switched from [AxisTV Signage Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/80424/AxisTV-Enterprise-Software/) AxisTV was terrible - very hard to work with Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

The support, while hard to reach, has been pretty supportive when I'm able to finally reach them. So thank you for that. I would just say ease of accessibility to support can be improved. Pros Carousel is a highly versatile and customizable. I'm able to deploy screens that manage Hawaii, Southern California and Northern California screens with ease. Cons I would like better improvement on how technical changes might impact our screens. There have been minute changes in how Google sheets are displayed, and I ran into significant issues with that monitor.

The feedback from our users has been positive. Pros Great media type support and ease of use. The minimalist setup with an Apple TV is fantastic. The user interface is easy to use, and the finished product looks great! Cons Can't use a username and password to access content that is not public. Keeps us from being able to point to certain content on an intranet, for example.
