About Carousel
Carousel helps organizations share important information across screens without adding technical complexity. It’s a strong fit for school districts, municipalities, and corporate teams that need dependable communication tools their staff can manage confidently.
Users can build and schedule screen content using guided layouts and upload common file types they already work with. Built-in approval workflows and permission settings allow multiple contributors to participate while keeping messaging accurate and consistent.
Centralized administrative controls provide oversight across locations, giving leadership visibility while empowering departments to manage their own updates. The system is designed for steady, day-to-day communication as well as urgent situations when timely messaging matters most.
In addition to the platform, customers receive onboarding support and access to a knowledgeable team with deep experience in digital signage strategy. Carousel combines practical tools with responsive support, helping organizations communicate clearly and reliably.

Easy set up and works on different channels

It's easy to get onboarded with this software and we didn't have to train our people that much to get it up and running. We're using it with very minimal problems so far. The cost is also just right for our budget.

Great signage that doesn't require a ton of time

I have been a Carousel (Tightrope) Customer through 3 different shops, over the span of almost 15 years. Thier products have always done what I need them to-do, have been easy to understand and implement, and I have had to spend very little time on Maintenace and upkeep. I wish all of my systems were as worry free as Carousel has been.

Carousel is Perfect for Managing Large Organizations

Overall good, Implementaion went well, training was easy. Some of the staff were a little too pushy and ungenuine and the critical feature upgrades did not come until 3 + years later ... but I would not say that had hindered the quality of product but rather reflects the organization.

Carousel High School Implementation

We are generally pleased with our Carousel experience to this point. If there is one complaint, it would be that our initial support in on-boarding has been disappointing. I have no idea why there is a 60-day cap on access to learning academy resources. It seems like you would want customers to get the most possible out of the system to increase their ROI. Having the 60-days begin right as you enter your contract means a good number of those day are likely wasted anyway. We didn't even get the custom channel released to us until about day 15 of that period. Also, it has been almost impossible to talk with someone in person when we have requested it. In one instance, I exchanged a dozen emails with someone after initially and repeatedly asking early if we could talk to someone in person. It took far more time to email communications to try and resolve the issue than it would have to just talk with someone briefly. I have plenty of experience in this area to know that some companies simply cannot provide phone support as a practice, but for the annual cost of the system this should be a support service.

It's been easy to set up and run across campus. I started with a 10 license pilot 2 years ago, and it's caught on to the point where we now have 22 licenses and growing.

Great Value and Easy Management

Our experience with Carousel Digital Signage has been excellent. The platform is user-friendly, with centralized management and seamless integration with BrightSigns. Setting up and managing content is straightforward, and the ability to grant granular access to team members is highly effective. It’s a reliable tool that offers great value.

Hello! Thank you very much for your review. We’re so glad you’re enjoying Carousel. I wanted to make sure I let you know that with our new 2024 pricing we allow what we call 'permissive licensing', this allows you to configure and add a few players beyond what you're licensed for currently and unless it's a major expansion we'll just handle the true up of additional licenses at your next renewal. We'd be happy to continue the discussion: csm@carouselsignage.com
