We use Embeded Signage for the management of our advertising TV displays. It works great!
We have many benefits from this program but most important would me time management. It allows us to quickly do updates and manage our media sources, freeing up valuable time to focus on other ventures.
PROSThe best thing about Embeded Signage is how easy the platform is to use and figure out. We have multiple output services and we find it VERY easy to switch between sources to manage. It also has great features and widgets that allow us to fill voids with intriguing content when required.
CONSHonestly there really isn't much that we dislike about Embded Signage. It would be great to have an app available so we could manage it from our mobile devices, but this may or may-not be something already in the works.
Vendor Response
Hi Kris, thanks for taking the time to review, that's lovely feedback. We do have a responsive version of the app so when you login on mobile you can carry out most things - the only thing which isn't fully mobile optimised is the layout builder as it's packed with loads of design tools. We do intend to improve this in future but rest assured you can currently manage devices, channels, schedules etc all using your mobile via the responsive app once you login :) - Thanks again for reviewing!

Embed Signage does what it promises
Embed Signage does what it promised. It is a product that allows you to create digital signage devices for your company and control/monitor those devices from an online portal. You are able to push updated/new content to each device remotely and monitor to see if the devices are down. Embed Signage was a perfect fit for our company, because we didn't have to buy special devices; instead, we used our provided computers and loaded the Embed Signage software onto them. Embed Signage has a built in kiosk mode that locks down the computer to only run Embed Signage. This software was a perfect fit for my company.
PROSThere are many things I like about this software, but I would say the best thing about it is that is the ability to monitor and edit all devices from the online portal.
CONSIf I had to find a fault with the Embed Signage program, it would be that I wish there was a quick way to copy devices configurations/media. If we are setting up ten devices with the same media and configurations, it would be nice to have the option to do it locally instead of pushing out the media over a network.
Vendor Response
David, that's a warming review to read! Thanks for taking the time to write it.

Best user-friendly software I have used!
The Embed software is very user-friendly for people with little or no experience with this type of digital software. The customer service is brilliant, [sensitive content hidden] is always on hand to help with any queries that cannot be answered using the help section of the site.
CONSNothing that I have come across since using the software over 6 months ago.

We use this on a daily basis to update screens all around our campus, usually always great.
We're able to update our plasma screens quickly and effectively. When we update we usually have to do this quite quickly and this system allows us to do just that.
PROSIt's quick and very straight forward. Customer service has always been great, we usually receive a response within 24 hours which is great as with the nature of our business things do need to be changed or sorted very quickly.
CONSIt can sometimes be quite temperamental. For example, when trying to bold or change text it becomes quite hard as it constantly states nothing has been selected when it has. Pictures can also be funny as they either don't work properly and would prefer some more editing options.
Vendor Response
Hi Sophie - thank you for taking the time to write a review, always appreciated and I'm glad our customer service is regarded so highly :) With regards to the text and picture issues you've referred to it would be really handy to get more technical detail on this to help identify the exact issue and cause. As you know we have thousands of users and rarely (if ever) get this type of issue so I would love to help you get to the bottom of it and a resolution. Please feel free to get in touch so we can assist you further.

Good product with great customer support.
Embed Signage really value their customers, the support is always there when you need it. I believe the product can be improved and it can be a little rough around the edges at times, but its reliable and allows me to create attractive and interactive signage for the school I work at.
PROSThe standout feature for me was the touch screen compatibility. Not many signage software packages offer this. Creating a trigger is a simple process and it is extremely rewarding to see it working on the TV afterwards. Also, the customer support is top notch, I always get responses within 12 hours (I live in Japan so there is a 9 hour time difference) and then follow-ups to make sure everything is going well.
CONSCreating the layouts can be time-consuming because you can't snap objects to a grid, the only way to make sure zones are aligned is to check their coordinates.
Vendor Response
Hi Patrick, thanks for taking the time to leave a review it always means a lot to us. Did you know that snapping objects to a Grid is indeed possible in the layout builder. At the top, next to the zoom function, you have an option to toggle the Grid on and off... have a play about next time you're in the builder and you'll be able to start snapping your zones to the grid :)

Meets all my needs!
It helps simplify roll out's because of it's ease of use. Having access from a single browser dashboard makes it an easy choice.
PROSI love the flexibility and accessibility from anywhere. I able to create great playouts from any browser and publish to any player...any time I want :)
CONSI am still yet to find something I do not like...I have been using Embed for about a year now and it always delivers. Also, if there is something I would like to try, the Embed team is quick to respond with support.

Thanks for the 5 star, 10/10 rating Tom - that's incredible :)

I have used Embed for some time now and have had a great user experience!
The software allows me to manage all devices in an organised fashion, with some great features like live preview, sound on/off etc. The layout design view is great and flexibility to manage designs and images is fantastic!
CONSIt would be great to have a function to manage all device licenses. Currently you can only view this on an individual basis when entering each device.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the review! Some very positive feedback here, thank you. Did you know that you can manage all of your licenses on your account simply by going to your Account Settings > Subscription? In this section you can see all licenses, which devices they are associated with, expiry dates and more. Thanks for taking the time to review :)

Great Simple Signage
Embed Signage has been a great system that we intend to use with our clients.
PROSEmbed Signage allowed my company to easily create a status board for the team. With minimal setup, and a lot of flexibility in the software, our status board is perfect for our needs. The platform independence also allows us to use existing hardware that was originally destined for the recycling center, but now has found new use.
CONSThe meeting room plugin needs a bit of work.
Vendor Response
Thanks for such a positive review and it's well noted that the room booking plugin can be improved... rest assured improvements are coming in this area soon :)

Easy to use and setup with the added benefit of very good support
The Cloud based CMS and ease of set-up. The ability to simply add a mobile device such as a phone or IPad with the App is also very useful for demonstrations.
CONSThe user interface still needs a bit of refining to make it a 5* product, I would also like to see a update to the room booking system to allow better layout integration.

Thanks for the review! We'll keep working to get that 5* rating ;)

We have used Embed Signage for a 2 or 3 years now and it is incredible!
Ease of use.
PROSI love that it is web-based and extremely easy to use. It works with little issues or trouble and they really thought the software through. I have used many other Digital Signage softwares and this one beats them hands-down.
CONSCustomer Support is very hard to get ahold of. Their live chat can take sometimes half a day to get a response from. When they do respond, it is a one sentence answer that usually doesn't answer my question fully.

As you've highlighted the transitions on the SSSP v2/v3 monitors are not supported but the good news is all other devices and platforms you can use with embed signage do support transitions :) Any further feedback, good or bad, please do get in touch and thank you again for taking the time to provide your review.

slow and non-intuitive / not user friendly.
PROSonce you figure this software out, it works ok.
CONSthe different steps to set up zones and slides is cumbersome and not user friendly. This should be the same as a google sheet or powerpoint. you will spend the majority of your time waiting for things to load into this software. Why not have a downloadable build site on a computer that can be built locally, and then uploaded. It really seems like much of this overall experience could be streamlined.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your feedback Jon - we do value all feedback, positive or negative. We're sorry to hear your experience hasn't been what you'd have liked and know that we are always looking to improve our software. Some of your colleagues have made some excellent feature suggestions that we plan to implement in 2019 which I'm certain you'll appreciate. We are also constantly focused on our ongoing development to maximise the performance and speed of our software for those running on restricted bandwidth.

Elementary School with 1 TV Signage in Hallway. Love this program, easy & reasonably priced
#1 PRICE . . . . #2 Able to Customize the pages. We have a very Simple set up, but I wanted school logo, Photo of School, date, time and weather as part of the template, which I could create. We then do a lot of photos. then switch to school Video news show and then switch to school announcements then loop back to photos. Have found these options in other programs but too expensive.
CONSFew minor things. Wish it had better photo management. i.e. Show photo in portrait or horizontal without me having to re-edit the photo and reimport in.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review Chris and for the feedback on photo management. Although we do not currently have full photo manipulation / editing tools built in have you explored the tools that are available including zone rotation and image sizing (letterbox, stretch, crop)? They may go someway to delivering the content desired. Away from that, we'll be sure to consider this for future development / improvement. Thanks again for taking the time to review :)

PROSThe software works well and is fairly easy to set up. The team worked with me on any issues I had to quickly resolve the problems.

It is a very affordable option for getting our information to our team. In a busy environment they don't need one more email to read but they can get information in screen form with ease at the coffee station or in the office as it catches their eye.
