We publish birthday lists, newsletters, photos, fun facts, etc. Pros It is very user-friendly. It allows us to use the platform to highlight our students in a way that excites them. Cons N/A. Our school really does not have anything negative to say about Rise Vision. If we ever need support, we feel supported! Review Source Jon-Paul W. Marketing Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "A Great School Communication Tool" October 9, 2026 5.0 Overall, we really enjoy using Rise Vision and we feel as though our students appreciate the real-time content we provide. Pros We like how you can grab a pre-made template, type in your text, and have an announcement live on screens within two minutes. Cons We do not like how limited we are when using Apple TV external device to control our Rise Vision. The templates are limited and many of the apps do not update as expected. Review Source Ashley S. Director of Student Life Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Beautiful Monitor Displays" September 30, 2026 5.0 Pros Extremely user friendly! The software creates beautiful monitor displays in our lobby and wellness room! Cons Not applicable. The support staff is extremely responsive via email and the software is very user friendly! Review Source Justin G. Network and Server Engineer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great Digital Signage Solution" September 23, 2026 5.0 Very happy with this system as its been easy to use and reliable. There are lots of great templates for staff to setup and its more user friendly than our older system. Pros This digital signage solution was easy to setup coming from a different system that no longer was being made. This sytem is also easier to manage and deploy as well. Very easy to use. Cons Once in a while we have to reboot some of the signage devices but thats par for the course with technology. Review Source MF Michael F. Library Assistant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Centralized Content Management" September 21, 2026 5.0 I like having all of my content management all in one easy and centralized location. However, I may have noticed some limitations with bigger images, however it hasn't impacted my ability to use the software overall. Pros I like how useful Rise Vision can be in scheduling content in advance. It is also very easy to upload images/documents in a variety of ways. Cons The only downside I can think of would be the occasional marketing email, however I understand the purposes so I'm not too bothered Review Source Kyle W. ITSM Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Set and Forget" September 11, 2026 5.0 I’ve been incredibly impressed with Rise Vision as our digital signage solution, primarily because of how intuitive and easy to manage it is. From an administrative standpoint, the centralized cloud dashboard lets me handle single or multi-screen deployments in minutes without any headaches. It integrates perfectly with the tools we already use daily, like Microsoft 365, making remote content updates practically effortless for anyone on the team. Beyond just being simple to use, the functionality is surprisingly robust. I don't have to worry about complex graphic design since it comes with an extensive library of professional templates and a built-in AI presentation generator. It also plays nicely with a variety of hardware, which gave us the flexibility to use existing displays. Between the granular content scheduling and the ability to tie seamlessly into emergency alert systems, it gives me all the backend control I need while keeping the daily operation incredibly user friendly. Pros Acceptable price point Ease of use Compatibility Extensive Features Low maintenance Intuitive dashboard Cons Heavy Internet Reliance Rigid Template Customization Formatting Quirks Occasional Interface Clunkiness Review Source Sittikon P. IT Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Sittikon Patitung" September 1, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Rise Vision has been very positive. It is easy to use, reliable, and makes it simple to manage and update multiple digital displays from one central platform. It saves time and reduces the workload for the IT team. Overall, I believe Rise Vision is a great solution and provides good value for the cost. Pros What I like most about Rise Vision is that it is easy to use and allows us to manage multiple digital displays from one central platform. It saves time, reduces the IT workload, and makes updating school content quick and convenient. Cons What I like least about Rise Vision is that there are some limitations in customizing designs and layouts, especially for more specific or complex content. Also, the cost can increase as the number of displays grows. Review Source R Reviewer Marketing Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great customer service!" August 27, 2026 5.0 This has worked well for us to be able to centralize content and be able to share content across all screens on campus when necessary. Pros The customer support on this product is above reproach. Any time I have had a question, I have gotten a comprehensive response with a screen recording of them actually correcting my issue and solving the problem for me. I appreciate the screen recording because then I can learn how to do it myself. Video and image uploads are pretty straight-forward and the interface is fairly intuitive. Cons Sometimes it can be difficult to find where to change a schedule (following an update or change to interface), but once you figure it out, it becomes easier to remember. Review Source EA Evan A. IT Supervisor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Rise Vision is Easy to Set Up and Easy to Use" August 22, 2026 5.0 Pros Rise vision is easy to set up and easy to use. It is very intuitive so non-technical people can use it easily. Cons Finding the the correct device to run rise vision took a bit of research but their support helped us out quickly. Review Source Kelly A. Social Media Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "User friendly platform" July 28, 2026 4.0 I was a user, so I’m not familiar with the cost or setup process. Overall, I had a good experience using the platform. I used the feature that allows images and videos to be uploaded to screens every other month, and it worked well. Pros The platform was user-friendly and easy to navigate. I used the feature that allows content to be posted to screens every other month, and it worked well. Cons The "preview" feature was not comprehensive enough. It would be much more efficient if users could view the entire slide deck in one place rather than opening files individually to confirm they have selected the correct slide. This becomes especially important when working with a large number of files, as the current process can be time-consuming and difficult to manage. Review Source R Reviewer front office assistant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "user interface and options" May 11, 2026 3.0 Overall, now that we know how to use it, Rise Vision is a helpful way to communicate to our school various events and announcements. Pros I like the school specific templates. They add a lot to our lobby, and the students enjoy looking at the announcements. There are lots of options, such as lunch menus, count downs for the end of the year, and holiday templates. Cons Learning to use it is difficult and not as easy to catch on as I thought it would be. Usually basic tech is fairly self-explanatory, but Rise Vision did not seem very intuitive and has taken a lot of playing around to figure it out. I think it would also be helpful if the templates could be customized significantly more as our operations vary quite a bit from other schools' operations. Review Source DC Dante C. Professor Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Rise Vision Makes School Communication Easy and Reliable" October 9, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Rise Vision has been excellent. It’s easy to use, reliable, and makes creating and updating content quick and stress-free. I use it daily at our school, and it consistently works exactly as expected, making communication simple and effective. Pros Rise Vision has been an outstanding tool for our school. It’s incredibly easy to set up and use, and the templates make creating and updating content quick and simple. The platform is extremely reliable, with no bugs or issues, and runs smoothly every day without the need for customer support. Cons While there’s always room for more template variety, this is a minor point compared to how much time and effort Rise Vision saves. Overall, it’s a highly effective and dependable solution for managing school communications. Review Source Rick G. Network Systems Administrator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Five Stars for Simplicity and Selection!" October 3, 2025 5.0 We have been thrilled with Rise Vision. Our end users have been using the product with little issue and our visitors love the professional look. Pros Rise Vision is, simply put, the best digital signage platform we have ever used. The ease of use is remarkable; managing content across multiple displays is intuitive, even for non-technical users. What truly sets it apart, however, is the massive library of professionally designed templates. We can spin up engaging, polished new displays in minutes, saving us countless hours on design work. If you need robust digital signage that is genuinely easy to maintain, Rise Vision is the top choice. Highly recommended! Cons I would like to see the pricing model not charge per school building, but charge per physical building. Review Source Chris W. Systems Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The BEST Digital signage program" August 8, 2025 5.0 Great Product, would recommend to anyone looking for an easy to use digital signage cloud hosted program. Pros Ease of use, being able to separate buildings and departments while having each account under the same "umbrella" has made things easier when it comes time to renew. Notifications when a system is offline. The templates make it easy to create slides, or pages to display quickly on the fly. Customer support is quick to respond to anything that needs troubleshooting, but I've only needed that once in 2 years, and that was for a hardware issue unrelated, but they still assisted! Cons Honestly, I haven't found anything to disklike. If I had a suggestion, I would say to add a Dark mode for the portal. (if that's not already a feature) Review Source Kristen C. Food Service Director Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Rise Vision used to Display Menus in Kelloggsville High School" May 5, 2026 5.0 So far it has been super easy to use. I love all the templates available. They even take suggestions for new ideas. It only takes a few minutes to set up and changes are just as quick. It uses my menus in Health E pro to display for students and staff! I really enjoy keeping it fresh and updated. Pros I love the ease of use and the ton of templates they have available. They are adding more all the time and you can create your own in canva and import them to display on your screens. We use them to display our menus to students and staff. Cons So far nothing! We have not had any issues come up with the software. They have a great team available and are quick to answer emails if you have any problems. Review Source Gary L. Director of IT, Communications, Security Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "RiseVision is our choice for digital signage" November 18, 2025 5.0 RiseVision has transformed how we communicate in our district. It's rare to find a solution that balances professional results, administrative control, and ease of use this well. For any K-12 IT administrator looking for a reliable, scalable digital signage solution, I highly recommend giving RiseVision a serious look. Pros s an IT Administrator for a mid-sized K-12 school district, I'm always looking for solutions that are both powerful and manageable across multiple buildings. RiseVision has exceeded my expectations on every front. Professional Templates That Actually Work One of the biggest challenges we faced with our previous digital signage solution was creating content that looked polished and professional. RiseVision's template library has been a revelation. The templates are genuinely high-quality—not the typical cookie-cutter designs you see elsewhere. From emergency announcements to daily lunch menus and student achievement spotlights, everything looks like it was designed by a professional communications team. Our principals and office staff can now create eye-catching displays without needing graphic design skills, which has been huge for adoption across our district. Centralized Management That Saves Time Managing digital signage across six buildings used to be a nightmare. With RiseVision, I can oversee every display from a single dashboard. Whether I need to push an urgent weather closure notification to all schools simultaneously or update content on specific displays in individual buildings, it's incredibly straightforward. The centralized platform has saved me countless hours of driving between buildings or trying to walk staff through updates over the phone. Delegation Features That Empower Staff The permission and delegation system is exactly what a district environment needs. I can give our front office staff access to update daily announcements, allow our athletic \[sensitive content hidden\] to manage sports schedules on gym displays, and let principals control their building's main entrance screens—all without giving everyone access to everything. This has distributed the workload appropriately while maintaining the security and control I need as an administrator. Outstanding Training and Support I've been particularly impressed by RiseVision's training materials and support resources. The documentation is comprehensive, the video tutorials are clear and to-the-point, and their support team has been responsive on the rare occasions we've needed help. When rolling out the system district-wide, I was able to train building staff quickly using their existing resources. That kind of support infrastructure makes all the difference when you're implementing technology at scale. Cons Our users STILL need to be trained to use it. Even though the training materials are top notch, we cannot beam the information into their brains. If they could do THAT it would be amazing! Review Source Crystal O. Library Media Specialist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "RiseVision Rocks!" December 5, 2025 5.0 RiseVision offers professional, engaging digital displays that can be scheduled and automatically updated with content like jokes, quotes, weather, and dates. It’s widely used in schools but is also suitable for businesses and advertising. The platform provides frequent, quick, and practical training sessions that consistently add value. However, uploading slides and adding them to presentations can feel clunky due to refresh delays, and editing premade templates is limited—text boxes and images cannot be repositioned. More education-focused templates and enhanced editing flexibility would improve the experience. Pros RiseVision creates quality engaging displays that can be set to times and speeds. It auto updates certain ones daily to display jokes, historical facts, quotes, weather, the date, etc. It produces a very professional looking slideshow that is used in our school, but would also be a great application for businesses and ads. There are opportunities for trainings frequently and they are quick and useful, I always leave with a new tool or skill. Cons It is a little clunky to upload slides and add to the slideshow, requiring a refresh or lag time for the website to refresh before moving to the next step. It also doesn't allow you to move around text boxes or images when you are editing a premade template. More templates (specifically related to education, schools, teens, etc) and more editing capabilities would be helpful. Review Source R Reviewer Teacher, Public Relations Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Strengthening our School Community" May 6, 2026 5.0 Rise Vision has been a lifesaver. It has allowed me to save so much time by using their presentations. Our school community is very informed now. Our students LOVE seeing themselves on the screens. Pros Rise Vision is incredibly easy to use. The program has allowed our school community to strengthen by allowing us to share information easily. It also allows us to celebrate and share success stories. I often will make a custom image graphic on Canva and be able to upload it onto Rise very easily! The user options are very easy to use - the amount of template presentations is truly overwhelming! There is so much there that you didn't even know that you needed! I have yet to need customer support, which is a good sign! Cons Sometimes I will upload just a picture into an image presentation. It is difficult to sometimes add text to it - it looks very plain and it's hard to center it. Review Source Aron K. IT Support Specialist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A Flexible and Powerful Tool for School Campus Communication" August 18, 2025 4.0 Rise Vision solves the major challenge of keeping our campus communication centralized, timely, and efficient. It replaces outdated paper flyers with a single, manageable platform that benefits us through automation, like automatically displaying sports schedules from Google Calendar to save time and reduce errors. Furthermore, it empowers individual departments like Admissions to manage their own content, which frees the IT team from being a constant bottleneck for daily updates and allows our staff to take ownership of their messaging Pros As an IT Support Specialist for a private school, Rise Vision has become our core tool for campus wide digital signage. I like its flexibility best. We can use custom-made overlays from Photoshop for our branding and then pull in their helpful widgets for things like weather and social media. The Google Calendar integration is a huge asset for us, as it automatically displays our upcoming sports schedules without manual entry. It's also very easy to implement on various hardware. We run it on Fire TVs, Chromebooks, and Chromebits, which makes deployment simple across different locations on campus Cons The main area for improvement is the ease of use within the user interface. The division between Presentations, Schedules, and Displays, while logical, can feel disconnected and adds a few extra steps when trying to manage content. I would also love to see more pro-level web tools for designing content directly on the platform. We currently create our custom overlays in Photoshop, but having more advanced design capabilities within Rise Vision itself would be a major workflow improvement. Lastly, improved performance on non-native devices like our Chromebits and Fire TVs would be a welcome update to ensure a consistently smooth playback experience Review Source TR Tiffany R. Director of Library Services Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Making School Signage Fun & Professional" August 25, 2025 5.0 RiseVision streamlines and enhances internal school communications by providing a single platform for creating and delivering dynamic digital signage. It solves key challenges like: Consistency & Branding: With customizable templates and easy insertion of the school logo, it ensures messaging stays on-brand across different screens and contexts. Engagement: Instead of static announcements, RiseVision enables lively, multimedia displays—complete with sharp graphics, humor, quizzes, and games—that capture students’ attention. Content Flexibility: Educators and staff can quickly tailor messages—such as schedules, reminders, event promotions, or celebratory shout-outs—without needing a designer. Ease of Use: Though there's a small learning curve, the platform becomes intuitive fast, allowing staff to confidently build and refresh content. Real-Time Updates: RiseVision allows for timely updates from any device, ensuring what’s displayed is always current and relevant. Pros I really enjoy the versatility of RiseVision. The platform offers both ready-made templates and the flexibility to create my own content, which makes it easy to tailor displays for different needs. The graphics are sharp and professional, and I appreciate the wide variety of templates available—plus the ability to incorporate our school logo seamlessly. I especially like that I can add humor and interactive games to engage students. Cons There isn’t much I dislike now that I’ve been using it for a while. At first, there was a bit of a learning curve and it wasn’t entirely intuitive, but with a little exploration and practice, it quickly became easy to navigate and use effectively. Review Source Leann C. Technology Directory Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Effortless Content Management That Transforms Campus Displays" December 12, 2025 5.0 The ability to add content from various sources, create content within the platform, and distribute it to specific digital media devices across our campus has made Rise Vision a non-negotiable addition that has really raised the bar in giving our campus a modern eye-catching appearance. Not to mention, they have great customer support if you have any questions or concerns that always get back with you in a timely manner. We update it almost daily with news, events, and results. Students, staff, administration, and community members just RAVE about it! Pros The platform is extremely easy to use making it perfect for both the technology department and education staff to use. Cons For a small, rural school district, the price point can be a little hard in the pitch to convince purchase approvers it's worth the price. Review Source Morella S. Counselor’s Office Assistant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great Source to Make Our School Even Better!" March 26, 2026 5.0 Overall it has been a great experience getting to see the students loving when they see the Morning Announcements as well as activities we’ve done in the past Monday through Friday! Pros I like that it was easy to learn and implement on a daily basis. I learned to use the system in a matter of minutes! Cons I have yet to come across any cons while using this system. If anything, it has became a much easier process. Review Source Matt B. Programming Clerk Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "A solution for our advertising needs." October 7, 2025 4.0 Rise Vision took a day to setup initially and maybe a month to find ways to tweak settings the way we liked. Timing of slides etc. Overall we are very happy with this service and will continue to use them for the foreseeable future. Pros Rise Vision is easy to use and required only a little exploring to find settings that we liked. We can control seasonal displays, upload personal fliers or use prebuilt templates. Cons We do not have any serious cons at this time. Some of the fact templates are repetitive if you have customers who stay for extended periods of time. Review Source Christina M. Teacher Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Easy to use and Creative" February 9, 2026 5.0 Overall it is easy to use and creative. Everything looks professional and not a lot of time is needed to create a polished slide. Pros It is easy to use and has many templates. The graphic design is always interesting and entertaining. Cons There are only a few educational templates to use. For the sports ones, you cannot remove the 'vs'. It is hard to create posts about sports if there isn't a game. Review Source Joey S. Principal Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Rise Vision Rocks!" October 7, 2025 5.0 As an elementary school principal, my time is incredibly valuable, and any new technology we adopt simply has to be simple, reliable, and contribute directly to our positive school culture. That’s exactly why I've been so impressed with the Rise Vision digital presentation platform. The biggest pros are immediately apparent: the platform is exceptionally easy to set up and create presentations. We were able to convert front lobby TVs and an IFP into vibrant communication hubs without heavy lifting from our small IT team. The sheer volume of professionally designed templates is a game-changer. My assistant principal and me can easily share content, adding new slides in minutes without needing graphic design expertise. Our overall experience with Rise Vision has been transformative. It has become our primary visual communication tool, making it wonderfully easy to set up and create presentations to highlight what is happening at our school, spotlight students, celebrate school successes, and more. We use it extensively for "Top Dog" student recognition, share the local weather, reinforce school expectations and more. Rise Vision enhances our school's visual environment. It keeps our community informed, provides positive reinforcement for our students, and, most importantly, saves our limited staff time every single week. For any school administrator looking for a robust, user-friendly, and cost-effective digital signage solution, I highly recommend giving Rise Vision a look. Pros Easy to set up. Easy to use. Enhances our school's front entry. Highlights the great things happening at our school. Cons I would like to see additional templates added because the premade templates are really visually appealing compared to the ones I make from scratch. Review Source Similar Products Featured
