It's also easy to manage users, each with different use cases and permissions. We can customize players for different areas with playlists and widgets.

Spa Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Reliable Digital Signage" September 4, 2025 5.0 My experience with Poppulo Digital Signage has been positive. It’s a reliable platform that makes it easy to manage and update screens. The scheduling and screen management features work well. While the system has more functionality than I typically need, it delivers consistent results and adds real value in keeping messaging clear and centralized. Pros The system is user-friendly for day-to-day tasks. The interface is fairly intuitive. Non-technical users can manage day-to-day scheduling and content publishing without much trouble. However, some of the more advanced features take time and training to master. Cons functionality beyond what I typically use it for, which can make the platform feel a bit overwhelming at times. Review Source Response from Poppulo September 5, 2025 Thanks so much for your review! We're glad to hear Poppulo Digital Signage is intuitive for everyday use and helps keep your messaging clear and centralized.

Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Poppulo Review" August 26, 2025 4.0 it has been easy to learn and work with and shortly after starting was able to share and train others with little issue. Pros ease of use and how easy it was to learn the system as i am relatively new to this system. It is a breeze to edit and update as needed.

Marketing Coordinator Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ease of Use" August 27, 2025 5.0 It has been easy to learn and use. I also appreciated the training provided to us when we subscribed to the service. Pros Easy to learn/ use/ I like how you can make adjustments, such as availability and timing. Marketing team loves it. Cons Could be overwhelming/ messy if you manage a lot of screens. Other than that, I have no complaints. Still learning what all I can do with it. Review Source Response from Poppulo November 18, 2025 Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

It’s great to know that the training and onboarding helped you get up to speed quickly. We also appreciate your feedback about managing a large number of screens.

Operations Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Unique Experience with Poppulo" August 26, 2025 4.0 Pros Ease of use. We are managed by our media department and our different departments add their own content as well as some of the content comes from the media dept that we can't manipulate. So we have a bit of a different setup to what other's might have. Cons We have an applet for birthdays, but it won't play when you click on the playlist. Some of the pictures we try to upload do not upload properly. Review Source Response from Poppulo August 27, 2025 Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear that Poppulo has been easy to use and flexible enough to support your unique setup with both departmental and media team content. It’s great to know the platform is helping different groups contribute and collaborate. We appreciate your feedback on the birthday applet and image uploads—our team will share this with product and support to make sure we continue improving those areas. We’re grateful for your partnership and look forward to helping your team get even more value from Poppulo! DC David C.

Does not take long to get anything done. Money well spent. Pros It is so easy to add, delete and change the content to suit your every whim. I have never had an error message appear since using the application Cons For what I do, there are no drawbacks I see. I have used the application for about 8 months now and have had absolutely no issues. Switched from [Sensitive Content Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/190474/ARALOC/) The Company made the correct move off the old application and moved us into the 21st Century with this new app. Review Source CB Christopher B. Customer service Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I love this platform " September 18, 2025 4.0 Very reliable system yeah feel very confident knowing that once I set it I can forget it. I like the fact that you don’t have a limit on how long videos are. Pros Ease of use. There are multiple ways to upload your videos. The scheduler is great and it doesn’t remove the videos. Cons It doesn’t automatically take a thumbnail of your video like YouTube does. That would be helpful identifying your videos Review Source Response from Poppulo September 22, 2025 Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear you're finding the platform easy to use and reliable—especially that the scheduler and video handling are working well for your needs. We appreciate your feedback on video thumbnails. That’s a great suggestion, and we’ve shared it with our product team as we continue to enhance the media management experience.

Pros Easy to manage (upload and delete) content in the library and update any changes on the display momentarily. Cons Occasionally it fails to show the updated content on the display even I selected the correct file. Our AV team was able to help if it happens. Review Source Response from Poppulo September 29, 2025 Thanks so much for your review! We're glad to hear you're finding the platform easy to use and flexible with different file formats.

May 9, 2019 5.0 Pros Eventually, if you're like me, you'll push the limits of you CMS. I like to do more. Maybe you started out wanting to push images to a single display. However, as your business grows, you may now need to pull live data and push that to your display giving your staff up to date metrics to judge business decisions. Does your current Content Management system provide that? Maybe it doesn't. Maybe you didn't know you needed that. I've discovered over the last twelve years as a designer and CMS admin I needed an overly robust shoe to perform in. I outgrew my last CMS and needed more functionality. FourWinds was that bigger shoe, for me. As I grow to do more with my digital signage the FourWinds platform is growing faster and I can't keep up. Thats a good thing! You don't want to eventually outgrow your shoe, you want your shoe to grow with you. Changing your CMS, because it can't keep up what with your business needs is painful. I done it three times and it's a pain, to say the least. To sum it up, the FourWinds content management system seems to have few boundaries and I like that the most. Cons If I had to come up with what I like least about the FourWinds software my list wouldn't be long. I have to separate my gripes into two categories. Are my issues caused by the media player I'm choosing to use or is it the software? Most of my gripes are directed at the media player which, really, has nothing to do with the software at all. So, separating the two, I would wish for a way to bulk upload assets. Each month I create, upload and schedule 40-60 promotional assets. If I could select, schedule, set duration of play, days to play, upload, etc. as a bulk list without doing it one at a time would save me considerable time. That would be what I like least about this software. Review Source Justin A. Manager, Digital Projects & Web Development Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Streamlined our signage system" January 14, 2019 5.0 Great customer service that is quick to repsond and offer insights in solving problems we have encountered with our deployment. Pros We had 3 old systems, one for wayfinding, one for signage and 1 a bit of both. Four Winds Interactive allowed us to consolidate our signage/wayfinding into 1 system and gain loads of functionality at the same time. I could build the system I imagined from scratch utilizing Four Winds Interactive. This included creating my own templates, design and touch functionality to make it work best for our audience. It could integrate with 3rd party data utilizing JSON or XML which makes it extremely versatile. Cons Many past problems I have run into including documentation, etc are being actively addressed by the company with enhancements coming to the customer portal. Content Manager Desktop is only available on Windows (which creates extra steps for Mac users like myself) but with their new Cloud system I need to open Content Manager Desktop less frequently.

Services Lead Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FWI in higher ed" January 14, 2019 4.0 In higher education, we're trying to improve the student experience so that we can attract and retain students. FWI helps to keep students engaged with what is happening on campus. Pros The strongest aspect of FWI signage software is the ability to integrate with so many sources of data, including RSS, XML, SQL, and JSON. This has allowed us to greatly reduce the time spent manually managing sign content, as the signs update themselves as information is entered into our many different systems of record which serve as sources of content/data. Cons The Content Manager Desktop application, as it exists currently, is Windows-only and is much too complex for a beginning user who will only need to make simple image/video content updates. The application is incredibly powerful and makes sense to a power user, but I'm glad to see the FWI Cloud content library start to become available to serve the needs of basic content contributors. Review Source JF Jason F. System Administrator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Enterprise Digital Sign Media Software" March 5, 2019 5.0 FWI has been helpful as we implemented various systems over the years - For basic 'what is happening' on campus For electronic dining hall menus Displaying campus information as a display sign, and then showing interactive applications to allow students to release pending print jobs at specific locations: this implementation allowed us to replace our aging single purpose thin-clients with smaller and simple to manage and update nuc pcs. We haven't seen this with the other sign software vendors Pros The ability to customize the output for different purposes - we can utilize the built in functionality for specific implementations without necessarily developing in-house custom applications - and if there is a functionality question, their customer support has been very helpful in working though those issues. Cons At times, with the many different types configuration options available, one needs to refer to documentation to find the specific feature(s) one is looking to implement for a specific purpose. Most of the documentation is feature based or driven - more design examples utilizing typical features by configuration or deployment purpose may be of help to those just starting out with the software.

Sr Area IT Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use" January 28, 2019 5.0 FWI has been a great partner for over 10 years now, providing a solution that has grown with our digital needs in hospitality, while providing a great service and support over the years. Pros Ease of use, and flexibility. Being cloud based also provides the ability to make changes quickly and on the fly as needed. It is great to be able to deploy these players rather quickly and have the flexibility to do so as needs and client demands change. Cons Not much that I have not liked about this software. This is not a negative comment regarding the software, but being a cloud based solution it is critical to have a proper infrastructure behind this solution. This solution does not require a high amount of bandwidth to manage, but it is critical to have a stable connection to get the full benefits. This is specially important when pushing large contents like videos or HD images from the content manager to the players. Review Source RV Richard V. Director of Sign Animation Gambling & Casinos Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Most versitile display system software I have seen." December 21, 2018 5.0 This system has made my 1000+ unit display system monster something that can now be managed and modified daily with only two people required for content creation, scheduling and deployment and system configuration. Pros My prior display system was extensively customized because the base software had little functionality. The Four Winds Display System has allowed me eliminate my custom programs because all the functionality is built into the system. I have been able to transition myself from a custom program to a user because of this system. Life is much less complicated now. Cons I have used the system for over 4 years now at 20 different locations. I recommend using a fanless computer solution for long player lifespan or use their Samsung smart TV technology to help minimize costs. I believe they have a cloud based system available or coming very soon. Review Source AB Alen B. Programmer Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FWI A Great Digital Sign Partner for Higher Education" April 2, 2019 5.0 The ability to update information in the digital age to numerous campuses within a few minutes makes this a very powerful messaging and information tool. Pros The stability of the product provides a no worry approach to developing and deploying digital content. The power of the product makes it possible to create between quite simple to very complex. Cons The piece that is missing, is a faster way to deploy the same graphic to multiple signs. An application for drag and drop of one image to be deployed to as many signs as that app is active in a region would be so awesome. Review Source Aram F. Media Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product and Exceptional Customer Support" February 5, 2019 5.0 Pros Four Winds is a very robust and mature digital signage system. There is a lot of flexibility, fantastic resources and free templates. Customer service reps are always very sharp and have been able to resolve any issue i've encountered. Cons There is a bit of a learning curve because of the number of features and full control that the software provides. Overall this is a good thing though and FourWinds makes it easy to learn through their community site. They also have great trainers. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web designer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Please use any other software " August 14, 2019 2.0 Pros It posts content to screens as instructed mostly. Cons It's impossible to preview the content posted without sitting and viewing each slide in rotation in real time. Content doesn't automatically cease as directed, or always post as directed in some cases. Review Source JHR John H. R. UCAV Engineer Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simply the best you can buy" May 9, 2019 5.0 We have been able to not only bring the basic day-to-day event information to our organization but to take our signage messaging to unique areas that we did not originally foresee​. The breadth of where we can take this seems to be limitless. Pros FWI is constantly innovating, staying current regarding industry trends and progressively adding useful functionality and features. Cons There can be a steep learning​ curve for new users. A drag and drop GUI for general users may be a good feature in the future. Review Source JH Justin H. Training Specialist Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Customer Service!" January 22, 2019 5.0 My overall experience is wonderful! It is a busy world nowadays and even when I may have forgotten to followup with FWI, they took the time to follow up with me to ensure the project was completed. They made me feel part of the family and not just another number. Pros The ease of use and ability to customize the service how I need it. Cons Nothing really! Great service that helped my company grow! Review Source MN Meredith N. Deputy Director of Communications Public Safety Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ease of Use" May 9, 2019 4.0 I've enjoyed using the software and customer service is good. Pros I like that it's easy to use and install. I felt that it was easy to configure and the price of training was good too. I like that they allow you to do online training. Cons Can't think of anything at the moment. I enjoy using this software. Review Source JR John R. UCAV Engineer Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FWI Feedback" February 28, 2019 5.0 Very good Pros It is flexible and powerful and constantly being improved Cons My version relies on IE for HTML which has caused several problems. I understand the updated version has the option of chromium though. Have had issues with powerpoint as well.
