Owner Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rise VIsion for creative digital signage " October 28, 2022 4.0 Rise Vision was very easy to use and I was able to create a professional looking presentation that I am very proud of. Pros Rise VIsion is has a lot of features and templates that once you get familiar it is really easy to use. I love the ability to implement on a screen using many different types of devices. Cons There is a bit of a learning curve with Rise Vision. It can be difficult to figure out how to do certain things, but the support team is always willing to help. Alternatives considered [Yodeck](https://www.capterra.com/p/228571/Yodeck/) Switched from [DAKboard](https://www.capterra.com/p/191381/DAKboard/) There just were not enough templates in Dakboard. Dakboard offered some other benefits such as integrating with devices, but I really wanted more customizing and templates. Review Source Response from Rise Vision November 10, 2022 Thanks for the review Anna! It's great to hear you're enjoying our 500+ templates and counting (we add new templates every week) and that our support team is giving you the support you need. RD Rodney D. Tech Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rise Vision - Eveything needed for digital signage" February 18, 2020 4.0 My overall experience has been great with Rise Vision! It definitely took care of all my needs for our digital signage issues. To have the ability to run multiple displays and to be able to update, (on the fly), has been huge for my team! Multiple people can be creating or publishing presentations at the same time. I have and will continue to recommend Rise Vison software solution. Pros From the first time I used Rise Vision , I have found that it has always very user friendly. All the templates are easy to follow and the novice person could navigate through them. Storage is very big and the ability to upload and download to the site is exceptional. Also, the "Help," section gives concise information that will help you with creating your own presentations and templates. Cons The only thing that is giving me a slight drawback is the customer support section. I am in charge of a small - medium site, and I need to be able to speak with someone from tech support and not just email. So, if there could be something that can be worked on, its the customer's access to the techs. Once I was able to communicate my problems, they were addressed in a timely manner, but without the ability to call it was problematic . Alternatives considered [Google Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/178686/Google-Slides/) Reason for choosing Rise Vision The ease of use from setup to actual presentations was the biggest factor. Also, the ability to use it on different platforms. I have used the displays on Rasberry Pi's, Windows 10, and Mac's.

VR Verified Reviewer Recreation Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product, Great Value, Requires some intermediate knowledge to really utilize it well." February 27, 2018 4.0 Pros The ability to send different signals to different displays and use different schedules at different times of day was great. It allowed us to use critical employee communication in mornings and evenings as well as visual advertising the rest of the day. Linking up with google docs and goodle calendar is very useful as well. We were able to give people access to a google sheet for them to make changes and they didn't have to learn the rise software or do any real media creation. Cons Designing content was less than ideal. Generally what happened is we would design content in some other media format (I would use Gimp a lot) and then set that as the background and only actually apply an Item for the information that changed, for example, I had an employee birthday screen and everything on the screen was all one image file except the list of employees who were updated via a google drive. This also was handy when other departments wanted to do some advertising/communication because I could just tell them the resolution to make the image and I only had to upload a single image instead of trying to have them create content or make me do it. Review Source BB Brian B. Athletic Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rise Vision" December 21, 2021 5.0 Excellent experience. Simple to communicate with fantastic display of information. Ease of use to make changes and updates to all displays is fantastic. Pros Templates are varied. Ease of use to make changes and adjustments to our needs. Remote changes are exceptionally time saving. Communications to large numbers of people is the most convenient and not intrusive. Cons Initially was the limited templates. However that has been growing a great deal. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 4, 2022 Hey Brian, Thanks so much for the review. We're pleased to hear you're enjoying the templates we release each week. If you have any suggestions for new templates, please let us know! Sincerely, Daniel BD Bradley D. Academic Systems Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great service for businesses with multiple departments." October 12, 2020 4.0 Pros I like the new design. Its much easier to create presentations than its predecessor. I like the ability as a system admin to manage multiple companies and provide individual support. The move to the cloud has been effortless and the uploading is fast. The price is very reasonable especially if you have multiple departments pitching in for licenses. Setup is fast and easy depending on which configuration you choose. We have chosen to use Windows 10 on a mini PC or Computestick. I like the ability to view/ restart your media player from the browser. The new templates are very nice and can be modified to fit any situation. Cons One improvement I find to be helpful is the ability to copy presentations to other companies. I know they can be shared with companies that are under them, but what if the company is not "under" the companies umbrella. I think there should be a way to backup presentations to a zip file. These backups could then be uploaded and used for other companies. Also, in the older version of Risevision you had the ability to view/edit your presentation in HTML. This feature may also be available in the new version but I haven't found it yet. Reason for choosing Rise Vision We have used Risevision for as long as I've been with the company. I believe we are happy with what we have. When we needed support moving from the old platform, Risevision offered the support we needed. Our current infrastructure would've needed a makeover had we switched. Review Source Response from Rise Vision October 13, 2020 Thanks for the review Bradley :) LF Lisa F. Information Technology Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "School Announcements Made Easy" February 12, 2020 5.0 We use RiseVision in a 7-12 Public school setting on monitors that display in our common areas to post important announcements for all students and staff to see. It is used a part of the Digital Design curriculum and students help with the daily updates of announcements. It is easy to integrate with a shared Google Slide file as well as embed code from other sites. Pros I like the ability to quickly edit a presentation and add them to a schedule in a matter of minutes. Cons The thing we like the least is the limitations of design size on some of the templates. Reason for choosing Rise Vision When we started using RiseVision it was free and in public education that is the best price : ) We were disappointed when RiseVision chose to no longer make their product free but were happy with an educational discount allowing us to continue to use this service without a huge learning curve to transfer to another product. We are hoping our administration will continue to fund RiseVision as we really like the new opportunities with the many templates that are now available. We just wish we had a little more editing freedom on the templates. Review Source Response from Rise Vision March 12, 2020 Thanks for the review Lisa! I sent you an email to better understand the issue you're running into with the templates. Hopefully we can get that addressed for you in a future update :) ZZ Zach Z. Video Content Producer Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy interface, effective software and helpful service" February 7, 2020 5.0 Rise Vision's software allows us to easily promote important events around campus to a wide audience. Many of the screens are in public areas with a lot of foot flow, so they act as an effective means of advertising. Not only that, but they provide us with an effective means to showcase live information as well. The interface is very user friendly and those in charge of the screens are able to update and manage the content shared very easily. Pros I have found the interface of the software very easy to use, while also boasting many useful features. It allows easy distribution of image, video, websites, live information and much more. It also enables users to easily customise display settings. The ability to organise playlists and select which displays they are aired on is very simple and effective. Cons At time I have found the integration of websites and live information does not effective translate properly and can come out distorted on the screens. Usually this is fixable, but it can be frustrating having to reconfigure the website display, and some have to be scrapped altogether. Reason for choosing Rise Vision \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] Review Source Response from Rise Vision March 12, 2020 Thanks for the review Zach! TB Thomas B. Systems Admin Libraries Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rise Vision for a Public Library" August 16, 2023 4.0 Pros Initially I found Rise Vision to be a great product that was easy to use and deploy. It allowed customization and was feature rich for the free tier and beyond. Cons Unfortunately the value structure changed over time becoming more and more expensive to the point that we could no longer afford to use the product compared to self-built solutions. Review Source Response from Rise Vision August 21, 2023 Hi Thomas, thank you for your feedback. Could you please reach out to our customer support team who would more than happy to look at your account and see if there are some options for pricing? In the meantime, I have passed your comments along to our product and accounting teams. AD Andrew D. Director of Marketing Technology Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great platform for creating your own customized digital signage solution" December 3, 2020 5.0 We have built some great signage displays with the product. It's very easy to teach new content administrators how to update the screens which is a huge plus. Pros Very easy to learn. Knowledge base, training videos, and customer support make it a breeze to get started. When you get stumped, their support is very quick to respond. Cons Very little to not like. I guess if anything, most of the pre-designed templates are geared toward schools but they are easy enough to change up for business purposes. Alternatives considered [Xibo](https://www.capterra.com/p/182202/Xibo/) Reason for choosing Rise Vision Easier interface to train users. Flexible pricing model. Stable platform. Review Source Response from Rise Vision December 4, 2020 Hi Andrew, Thank you for your review. If you ever want to request a template design, feel free to email support@risevision.com. Thanks, Joy JB Jack B. Communications Director Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great value, just strange setup" October 5, 2023 4.0 Pros Price was the biggest pro for us. It's one of the lowest cost digital signage solutions out there. Cons The fact that don't have a dedicated player is kind of an issue. While the flexibility to run it on lots of devices is nice, the setup on each device is unique and therefore, not always predictable. Integration with Google Slides also wasn't great. Review Source JT Josh T. IT Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rise Vision - Cafe Menu Boards" February 7, 2020 5.0 I have been using Rise Vision in one form or another for probably 15 years. Typically for some simple slideshow programs on lobby monitors, however the last year Rise has been powering our Coffee Shop menu boards, and the teams there are loving it. Pros The ease of customization and user training is key to our use case. Once trained, users end up taking it to the next level on their own, and are able to be creative with how we use the product. Cons Currently running a few screens off of Raspberry Pi 4's, and depending on the complexity of our boards, the software reboots every few days. I'll be updating the hardware to Intel NUCs soon, which should solve that issue. Reason for choosing Rise Vision Cost, flexibility with pulling in live data (from Google Sheets), ease of training new users. Review Source Response from Rise Vision March 12, 2020 Thank you for the feedback Josh. It's amazing to hear you've been using Rise Vision for 15 years! AW Amy W. Media Center Specialist Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ease of Rise Vision" March 22, 2021 5.0 My experience with Rise Vision is one hundred percent positive! I would recommend this program to everyone and anyone! Pros Rise Vision is very user friendly, easy to learn and easy to manage. After the improvement to Rise Vision this past year it is even easier and faster to use. I work in a high school with multiple screens throughout the building and many people have commented on how nice it is to see all the different announcements etc. up for viewing. We have them in the main hall, counseling and the cafeteria which makes it accessible for students and staff to view. Again the program is easy to manage and very useful. Cons I have not had any bad experiences while using Rise Vision. Review Source Response from Rise Vision March 26, 2021 Thank you so much for sharing your feedback Amy! We are happy to hear that using Rise Vision has been easy for you! Joy PD Patrick D. IT Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rise Vision provides exceptional digitial signage solutions" January 31, 2020 5.0 Rise Vision customer service is prompt and walks you through any issues with patience and high-end knowledge of not only their product but best practices. Pros Rise Vision actually listens to the feedback from their users. We have been a customer for about ten years and Rise continues to evolve their products based on the needs of the user. With a user-friendly interface and out-of-the-box templates, you can be up and running in no time. I manage 40 end users who do not have much, if any, HTML or CSS knowledge. They are able to start designing their own content after a one hour overview. Cons We use Raspberry Pis for our signage and some of the templates are too labor-intensive for the smaller Pis. Not a big issue as we are able to adjust with other content. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 4, 2020 Thank you for the great feedback! SE Seth E. seth@digitalmedics.com Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A good choice if you like the templates" February 10, 2020 4.0 We're using the signs mostly to do some work with a local non-profit to display messages in schools. There's another party involved making web slideshows so we can use Rise's free version for that and it works quite well; certainly no complaints for the money. We have a couple of other signs in the paid tier that can use their built-in slideshow creation tools and those work well if you're using fairly static slides but we've found it to be pretty time consuming to roll something like an animated slide show directly with the slideshow maker. Overall it's a solid choice for centrally managed digital signage and their support people have always been great to work with, even for a tiny little customer like us, which is appreciated. Pros The available templates are great if they suit your needs. It can easily display webpages and when customizing you can create a sort of DIY widget with any embeddable web code which is handy. Cons Things often feel like they're missing just a little polish; the website \*really\* wants you to use Chrome and works your computer while you're building presentations. What you see in the editor isn't always what you get. Certain things require more processing power than you'd expect on the sign; we use a handful of Raspberry Pi units for signage and a lot of animations are rough on them, which seemed a bit odd since it's just showing a sort of web slideshow. Review Source Response from Rise Vision March 12, 2020 Thanks for the feedback Seth! WT William T. President/CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rise Vision Works for my Not-For-Profit" December 5, 2019 5.0 We began using in the summer of 2017. We operate multiple media servers at several locations. Overall we have been very happy with the product and the service. It serves our needs very well and support has been good the few times we needed it. Pros I found the software very easy for us to use. We currently have 14 media servers displaying various content at different locations. It is very easy to manage our displays. Cons Probably when support for Cenique boxes ended. Reason for choosing Rise Vision My main concern was price for the functionality we needed. Rise Vision was clearly above the rest of the software packages I looked at. I would not hesitate to recommend Rise to anyone. We plan to buy about 10 more licenses as we roll out more displays. Review Source Response from Rise Vision March 12, 2020 Thanks for the review Bill! DP Deb P. Admin Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rise Vision Review" October 8, 2020 5.0 I love Rise Vision and especially the Tech Support. It has been a great learning curve and a fun adventure! Thank you Pros I really like that the program is constantly being updated to be even more user friendly and incorporating new ideas all the time. Their weekly emails contain great info! The tech support is amazing!! I wished I had realized that when I first starting using the program, I would saved myself so many headaches! I am not super techie and I have been able create some pretty amazing presentations. I love their quick templates, they are easy to update and they keep your displays fresh. Cons I wish there was more flexibility with the easy templates. Review Source Response from Rise Vision October 9, 2020 Thanks for the review, glad you enjoy the templates and support! DB Dennis B. Enterprise Software Administrator Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product, with flexibility" February 5, 2020 5.0 We use Rise Vision to display marketing videos, safety videos, consumer venues, etc. Changes are easy to make, and do not require our displays to be connected to network (videos will run offline!) Pros The software and tools are easy to use. I can show someone how to create or make changes to their display in just minutes Cons I wish this software was available on Apple TV's. While RiseVision supports other platforms, for some reason the Apple TV is not one of them. An Apple TV found in nearly every school classroom because of Apple penetration into the school with the iPad. Why not take advantage of this platform and provide an app that works on an inexpensive device that is already deployed. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 6, 2020 Thanks for the feedback Dennis! JH Jeff H. Principal Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Carterville Junior High" January 31, 2020 4.0 Overall, we have been very pleased. Like any product, there are a few things we'd like to see different, but we are very pleased with the product. Pros The vividness of the displays and "pop" they have on our tv's is impressive. It is like an ad one might see on tv. This is not a fancy power point. It is on a whole different level. The slides can vary and be unique which gets the attention of our students and prevents each slide from looking basically the same. You can do some really neat things. Cons I gave ease of use 3 of 5 stars because it is not an intuitive platform. One cannot just start clicking around and figure it out like you can with a lot of apps or other software, even if you are a bit tech savvy. It takes some time to learn how to manipulate and use the system. Once you learn it though, the ease of use would be 5 of 5 and it doesn't take months to learn. However, there is some time up front that has to be invested, a lot of trial and error, phone calls to support or other users until you get the hang of it. If the primary user were to leave the organization, it is not something that could just continue quickly without fail unless you had crossed trained someone. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 4, 2020 Hi Jeff, I appreciate all the helpful feedback. I think you'll like a number of the improvements we have this year to make it easier for end users to pick up Rise Vision quickly. JD James D. Principal Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for high school use" October 19, 2020 5.0 This is the second high school at which I have utilized RiseVision for our schoolwide communications, and would recommend that any school consider it for use in their building. Pros Software is easy to use, and easy to integrate existing Google Slide presentations. The templates are incredibly easy to use, and make the visuals really stand out in the school. Very easy to customize what is seen on monitors in different areas of the building. It also allows for others to contribute content, which is important in a school setting. The tutorials are very clear and helpful as well. Cons Some of the text interfaces take a bit to get used to. Review Source Response from Rise Vision October 22, 2020 Thanks for the review James! KM Keri M. Special Projects, Student Affairs Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Digital Signage on Campus" February 4, 2020 4.0 The benefits with using Rise Vision has been the scope of our advertising. It is seen by hundreds of students daily and there has been an significant growth of attendance at events once we starting advertising on digital signage. Pros Creating a way move the event advertisements designed by the graphics team to tv monitors around the student union. Once designed it takes just a few minutes to post it for the student, staff and faculty members on campus. Cons It would be helpful if there was an easier way to schedule when the ads are posted. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 6, 2020 It's fantastic to hear Rise Vision has helped you increase event attendance so much. Thank you for sharing! LD Leanne D. teacher-librarian Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Secondary School" January 31, 2020 4.0 We are providing students with current, up-to-date information about school and everything they need to know. Pros I like that we have at least 2 different uses for the software. We are able to run slides all day and also show a schedule on a different tv. I like the ease with which I can update the slide show and I don't have to go to too many steps. Cons It would be nice if I could customize the first slide. It seems to be locked. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 4, 2020 Thank you for the review Leanne. I've sent you an email about the slide you'd like to customize. SF Shawn F. System Administrator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly recommended digital signage product." February 3, 2020 4.0 Pros Easy to set up Easy to use Based in Canada Cons Player software crashes from time to time Alternatives considered [Signagelive](https://www.capterra.com/p/135809/Signagelive/)[ScreenCloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/147087/ScreenCloud/)[NoviSign](https://www.capterra.com/p/128501/NoviSign-Digital-Signage/) Reason for choosing Rise Vision Based in Canada, software quality and ease of setup and use.

I sent you a note about the player software. Reliability is really important to us so it'd be great if we could investigate the next time it happens. Brandon F. Graduate Assistant Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Student-Athlete Development " February 3, 2020 5.0 Helps market programs to student-athletes. Pros It's able too sync to multiple platforms (TV's). The timeline is a useful tool to keep current post up. Cons None the product is exceptional. The whole athletic department at the U of A uses the software. We would like to highlight that we use the software on Risevision social media platform to recognize the collaboration. Reason for choosing Rise Vision The University of Arkansas athletic department uses it. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 6, 2020 Thank you for the kind words Brandon! EB Eric B. Technology Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Rise Vision in the School Setting" February 4, 2020 5.0 We have been extremely happy and thrilled with their commitment to continue to produce new templates. Pros We love Rise Vision at our school! We wanted to make a good first impression on students and community when they walk in our doors and Rise Vision helped us do that. There are templates for everything we need and they are easy to customize. This provides us with a professional look that our secretaries can manage on a daily basis. The ease of setup was a plus! Cons No real cons from us. We have been able to install and train office staff and the day to day operation is a breeze. Reason for choosing Rise Vision Professional appearance. Ease of use. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 6, 2020 Thanks for the kind words Eric! We love what you're doing at West Fork :) Jorge P. Media Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best option in the market" February 4, 2020 5.0 We've tried different solutions for digital signage but this one's the best so far. We can plan ahead and reuse our programming. Pros It's easy to use. It's cloud based. It's customizable. It's fast and give extra features to monitor devices. Cons There isn't a cheaper license where one provides their own hosting for the media. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 6, 2020 Thanks for the review Jorge! Similar Products Featured
