Pros

PADS4 is intuitive and flexible—great for managing dynamic digital signage with real-time data and scalable deployment options

Cons

Pros

The best feature about this software is that you can configure multiple displays from one central location. This allows management of the system to be streamlined. Additionally, the scheduling feature is a useful tool that allows you to pick and choose what to display, when to display it, and where it should be displayed. This gives unlimited customization options.

Cons

Software can feel clunky at times. Would get random errors about not being connected to the server, but when restarting the server, the client would kick me out stating "Lost connection to the Server" . How can you lose a connection to a server if it was not connected in the first place?

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.

Easy display of information towards the patients and communication to the employees

Pros

The software is easy to use Like PowerPoint and super easy to connect in my case to MS Exchange, By just following a wizard I was able to connect it. Also making the layout is completely straight forward. It gives me the complete freedom and if you can make a PowerPoint you can work with this product. It is as simple as they say. Also, the price is really low for what you get.

Cons

Finding out which Viewer types I needed. But after some support from my reseller I was able to make the right choises,
