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.

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.

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."

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! JW Janelle W. Office Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Currently meets our needs but lacks some functionality" February 7, 2020 5.0 Overall the experience with Rise Vision has been really good. There are just some things that cause minor frustrations. We always find a way to work around those things that cause frustration to end up with content we are happy with, but it ends up taking much longer than necessary. Pros It is pretty user friendly, it is not difficult to pick up how to use it. The support when we have run in to issues has been great. We use this platform to manage signage for quite a few of our clients and this software makes it easy to do that all in one place. Cons It is often hard to be able to do all the little customizations we would like. It would be nice if you could snap content to the edges, or if when you are moving around a place holder box that there would be lines coming off of it so you could see how that placeholder lines up with the other placeholders on the screen. Right now you just have to eyeball it with not guidance or you have to type in the numeric value of where you want the box on the screen which is frustrating. Review Source Response from Rise Vision March 12, 2020 Thank you for the feedback Janelle! TK Travis K. Technology Support Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful Tool for the School Setting" February 17, 2020 5.0 Our overall experience with Rise Vision has been great. We started out with the free version which was very functional and have now moved to the paid version. We use Rise Vision for our daily announcements as well as for our concession stands menus. Pros The software offers a wide variety of templates for school setting activities. Cons When entering and editing information on the text widget window it cannot be expanded to full screen and the save and cancel buttons are unavailable if the screen is dragged too far down. Review Source Response from Rise Vision March 12, 2020 Thanks for the feedback Travis! GH Guy H. Marketing Services Manager Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yes, I Would Pick RiseVision...in a Heartbeat!" November 11, 2020 5.0 The system provides me with a high degree of confidence knowing that all my signage remains working the way I set them up day in and day out, month after month! Pros The concept is simple to follow and its operations are clearly defined. Cons Sometimes dashboard features might be a little sluggish in their responsiveness. Visual statuses and connections lag a bit behind real time actions. But never affecting performance. Review Source Response from Rise Vision November 13, 2020 Hello Guy, Thank you for your review! Joy CS Crystal S. Promotion Specialist Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Placeholder Make for Easy Layouts" February 24, 2021 5.0 Overall this software has been a great tool for our company! We are able to get information out quickly to our employees whether it is something more important like COVID updates or if it celebrating an employee's retirement, it has been a wonderful way to connect with our employees. Pros I like that I can bring in my own images to be displayed. It's easy to use for the most part. I do like setting up different placeholders to create a layout. I like some of the new templates but wish there was more that was more company-based, especially for manufacturing industries. Cons There seem to be a few bugs such as the weather widget not working all the time. I do wish there were some more free widgets like live radar maps with better local detail. Some charts and spreadsheet widgets would be great. Right now I embed them from Google sheets, which works great, but the look is not as clean. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 26, 2021 Thank you for your review Crystal. I'll make sure to share your feedback with our product team. Please reach out to support@risevision.com if you ever need any assistance. Joy SC Steve C. Sr. IT Manager Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy digital signage that anyone can update" February 4, 2020 4.0 We implemented RiseVision to allow for digital signage to be synchronized in different offices all over the world, with a small overhead. It did the job well, and was works as intended. Pros Runs on modest hardware, reasonable costs given the value. Cons Clunky editor for changing beyond a slideshow, the technical aspects are all there to make it appear differently on different screens, but that intimidated some of my less technical users. Reason for choosing Rise Vision Cost, ease of use, robust feature set. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 6, 2020 Thanks for the review Steve! Kevin Y. Owner/ 1 Man Army Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rise Vision is awesome. I love the platform." May 7, 2018 5.0 Pros Rise Vision is very powerful if you take the time to learn it. Its free, all you pay for is addons and storage. I have had several restaurant menus up and running for almost a year with little issue. The screens connect easily and it doesn't take a lot of resources to run the software. Cons There is definitely a learning curve with Rise Vision, but if you take the time to learn it, it is very powerful. Review Source Garet W. HR Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Employee Cafeteria" February 3, 2020 4.0 We use Rise Vision for our employee cafeteria at our production facility. It is very eye-catching and our employees rely on it when they visit our facility. This is our first digital signage. We are piloting this to see if we may use it for employee announcements plant-wide. Pros I like the scheduling capabilities on Rise Vision. I can update the schedule weekly (and if I do it correctly), I can let it play on its own. Cons I wish the graphic editing capabilities were a little friendlier. I would like to see more editing functions similar to using powerpoint. Reason for choosing Rise Vision The investment costs for the hardware were lower with Rise Vision. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 6, 2020 Appreciate the feedback Wyatt! I'm glad you find schedules handy, that's definitely one of the best features of Rise Vision. Stay tuned for a few better editing features. MP Melissa P. VP Corporate Communications Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Campus Digital Signage is a breeze with RiseVision" February 4, 2020 4.0 We have 42 screens on campus that communicate various messages depending on their location. The Rise Vision platform helps us to easily and quickly upload messaging, in both static and motion graphic format. We also are able to schedule messaging when visitors are onsite, events are in progress, etc. Overall, Rise Vision helps us to ensure timely, accurate messaging to both internal and external stakeholders. Pros User friendly Cloud-based Lots of features Unlimited storage Cons The folder/storage system could be better configured to organize graphics and delete content no longer needed. While the system is understandable, it could be more streamlined. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 6, 2020 Thanks for the feedback Melissa! VR Verified Reviewer Audiovisual Systems Technician Museums and Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good once you overcome the learning curve" January 15, 2019 4.0 Overall this product works as advertised and would be recommended for any sort of business or institution that has an array of digital signs across its campus. Pros This software allows you to centrally manage your digital signage without having to go on site to install or update content. The schedule and presentation menus give you flexibility in how often and on how many screens content will be displayed. Cons The actual content design tool is a little hard to use at first. It doesn't allow as much control as other design software, but is adequate for most purposes. If you have legacy content that was created using an older version of the software there may be some formatting problems when imported into the new UI. Review Source MF Mark F. Director of Technology Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rise Vision digital signage has been a hit!" February 7, 2020 5.0 We had decided on digital signage as a way to increase school connectedness. Students are excited to see themselves and classmates on the signage. Our parent community has been impressed as well, and enjoy being able to see the events and activities that take place in the school. Pros The setup was quick and easy. I was able to have all of my displays up and running in less than a day. The combination of branded templates and customizable slides helps to keep the content fresh and engaging for our school community. Cons I decided to purchase dedicated PCs for my media players which required a bit of configuration and might be complicated for smaller organizations. The recommended player was available through my preferred vendors.

IT Professional Senior Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product for Higher Ed Signage" February 3, 2020 5.0 We use Rise Vision to keep our students engaged and in the loop with events on campus, what courses are offered, and for welcoming special guests or speakers. During special events we can "brand" the buildings digital screens with signage specifically for that event. Pros Rise vision was very easy to setup on multiple screens throughout our building, and easy to manage remotely. We have numerous users who can change content on the fly, and there are many useful add-ons like weather, RSS feeds, etc. that make for a dynamic display. Cons Some of the display setup can be a bit tricky, but once you get the layout right you rarely need to modify it. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 6, 2020 It's awesome to learn a bit about how you're using Rise Vision to keep students engaged. Thanks for the feedback Nicholas! CP Christian P. Coordonnator of IT Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very good product" January 31, 2020 5.0 We are very satisfied with the product. We use this software to broadcast the content of internal activities to come on 10 screens inside our buildings. We even have one in a secondary school near us which allows us to promote our establishment. Pros The site as a good and simple interface. Even the basic functions allow us to make very nice information panels. With a paid experience account get even better with the templates and other tools provided. Cons We did not find the possibility of making a presentation easily used by a sub-company. Switched from [Xibo](https://www.capterra.com/p/182202/Xibo/) We had problems with Windows windows which regularly appeared on the screen and which blocked the display. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 4, 2020 I'm happy to hear you're very satisfied! AS Anthony S. ITS Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Depending your expectations, this software ticks most boxes." January 31, 2020 4.0 Very few software(s) out there are perfect, each requiring something to be changed/altered to increase its value. Although Rise Vision is not perfect, once you learn the "oddity's" of its imperfection, you can see why it is one of the better options for "web-based digital signage". Pros \-Ease of Use -The Animated Templates -Remote (Web) Access...even from a cell phone Cons \-Not as many Portrait Templates as there are Landscape -Google Slide Presentation(s), "play to finished/end" does not work in intended. Have to change the time to display to the "# of slides x seconds you want each slide displayed". -GUI could use some re-tooling Reason for choosing Rise Vision Cost and features. Review Source Response from Rise Vision February 4, 2020 Really appreciate the feedback Anthony!
