Pros

  • This software helps employees and employer to create the best brand to the company and promote the company through creating awareness to the people.

  • We can upload media files, transport them to specific channels (displays), and set the schedule of when they will run. Very good product overall.

  • Working with SCALA DS for last 17 years and it is the best solution that i have ever work with. Great support, friendly based interface...stabile, scalabile...perfect.

Cons

  • Scala is especially useless in projects that involve high concurrency, processing large volumes of data, or building distributed systems - areas that Google often works on but is not fit for purpose.

  • The battle is discovering one that addresses the issues for all specialty units in a venture.

  • Scala can also be difficult to navigate, especially for the newly initiated.

"Scala reviews 2022"

Overall: Provides optimum programming facilities and best for static programmers.

Pros: Scala is a best fit for programming aspirants if you ask me. Unlike other popular programming tools, It is suitable for functional programming since it's object-oriented and also provides a huge library of useful components.I like its simplicity, ease of use and affordability. Anyone with any experience-level can use Scala and there are several learning resources included with the app.

Cons: Poor support services. It takes almost an eternity before you get help on discord. I don't enjoy it.

"I generate more refined projects."

Overall: A not so good experience due to what was previously mentioned about large volumes of work, it is a shame because it outlines very sophisticated projects that you must work on one by one.

Pros: It is a programming language that I enjoy using in specific projects at Google. What I like most about Scala is its combination of functional and object-oriented programming paradigms, which allows me to write code more concisely and primarily expressively.

Cons: Scala is especially useless in projects that involve high concurrency, processing large volumes of data, or building distributed systems - areas that Google often works on but is not fit for purpose.

"Powerful Digital Signage Platform"

Pros: We have used Scala for 13+ years now, it's probably the most proficient Digital Signage platform available, allowing you to create everything from simple displays showing screens to fully interactive displays, triggering from external sources, rateboards, flight boards, etc. The customer facing UI is excellent and allows simple building and scheduling of playlists and displays.

Cons: The power of Scala means that it's not easy to just pick up, for most of the complex stuff I would always advise getting the experts in to help you build and implement the project.

Alternatives Considered: CoolSign, SignStix and DISE Digital Signage Software
