Omnivex Moxie Review
We have utilized Moxie to create custom Monitoring Tools, a complete Scheduling panel solution, Signage control interfaces and various custom components. Our organization would not be where it is today without the help of Omnivex and their powerful signage tool. We are able to unite programmers and graphic designers towards a common goal producing amazing results.
PROSThe scripting engine within this software allows for complete customization of a signage environment. The scripting API and performance of this software gives you the ability to create high performance data driven signage and experiences. This software can be utilized with all types of systems due to how customizable it is. Environments that have multiple platforms to handle various types of content and signage would easily benefit from this product pulling it all into one software solution and management interface.
CONSOmnivex Moxie is a windows based application only. Omnivex has been working hard to create a web based product to allow for cloud hosted deployments and compatibility with Smart Display, mobile phones, Mac, Linux, and Bright sign Players. Currently Moxie still has more overall features and capabilities, but that may change in the future. While the scripting engine enables unlimited potential some companies would require assistance setting up more advanced integrations.
Reason for choosing Omnivex
The power of the "Data Pipe" which serves as the backbone of communication within the application. The performance and capabilities of binding our custom scripts to the DataPipe then being able to dynamically update the signage based on data flow and triggers make this platform a unique flexible open platform for designing custom signage that updates itself.

Omnivex digital signage - power user
They've been very good to us. Customer services has helped me quickly any time I've had an issue. The learning curve is steep, but once you get a level of expertise you can see how powerful omnivex can be.
PROSWe really like quicklink to allow multiple users access a web interface to upload content without worrying about them causing issues with the main structure of the signage we've set up. XML link lets us easily pull in live data. It also helps us trigger events, such as - if there is more than 4 events on a given day, use template 2 etc etc.
CONSThe features I wish it had? Player monitoring is a bit of a miss. There is no method to know a player is down unless you launch the studio application and chack the player tab. A system of email notification that player is offline would be a simple and effective solution to a problem I encounter regularly. For example, if windows updates turns off a computer... I won't know about it until I log in and do a player check... or if somebody sees it and messages me. Secondly, the price is high. We use a lot of the features which justifies the price, but smaller users might find this too costly
Reason for choosing Omnivex
The reason we went with omnivex was the robust scheduler. We wanted to have a high level of control over what is seen when and where. Secondly it had to be able to ingest xml data.

Review
We are happy with the program and the overall experience of using Omnivex.
PROSI do like the quality of the software and the finished product. I like the capabilities in terms of connecting to our operating software and the images always look good.
CONSI would like to be able to create a schedule in an easier manner that would suit our needs - this might be possible but my training hasn't reached that level so keep that in mind!
Reasons for switching to Omnivex
We were using an old, obsolete software - i have no knowledge of what it was called.

Great way to present relevant data to our workers on the flor
Overall it's as great product for what it dose, especially the freedom you have when creating your layouts. There is a lot of features to help you present your data exactly as you need.
PROSWe initially started using this for HR TV so we can communicate HR data to all our warehouses simultaneously and have the ability to have in picture video for regular TV. We have since started using it on our production floor to present relevant data that our team members and team leaders would need to constituently be lookin up. Now it is used in almost every department, special TV for managers which present the pulse of the business in real time. We particularly like the scrolling bar at the bottom of every layout for daily announcements.
CONSNeeds to have a better way to backup and restore in case of failure. Especially if your layout rely on various modules like Data pipe, SQL Link. I find SQL link to be a too bit touchy and it is very easy to lose your configuration, especially your links. Anyway it's a minor think and there are ways to back it but, I just think this something that could be better improved. There was a time when some queries in SQL Link got corrupted and had to be recreated after an update.

A great product for quick and initial beginning deployments
Using Omnivex has allowed us allowed us greater transparency and real time analysis of our production processes and performances. Our production staff can see at a glance throughout the plant on any of our now 15+ displays if they are meeting the company goals.
PROSOur company researched data metrics display systems for our factory and found that Ominvex would be the most user friendly and adaptable system for our needs. It connected to our various desired data sources and allowed for quick design, scheduling, and deployment of players within our factory.
CONSSome of the html content that can be built into layouts are limited to being a web browser with some cropping capabilities. We've found that some web content might function more consistently on player devices if they could be more like a web editor where containers and embedded content could be built in. We also would like to see the ability to build in shared credentials from the head end managing side of the system to the players. We use a website with gps truck delivery tracking but requires a user login and password. The players have to constantly be updated at the player display to type in the credentials, even if "remember me" has been selected.

Best in the market for data driven content.
Great partner and overall support is excellent.
PROSThe ability to databind content properties such as transparency, font color, or zone size to dynamic values has tremendous value. Giving your layouts the ability to change on the fly based on live data values feeding into your layouts. Using databinding in conjunction with Data converters, Data triggering or item rules in playlist sets this product apart from the competition.
CONSIf there was one thing we could add to Moxie would be a Master view tool for players content in the player manager. Right now you can view 1 players content at a time remotely. Would love to see a master view of all or majority in tab group laid out to spot check content across multiple screens. Maybe a seperate tool that could run on a secondary machine with multiple monitors. Then additionally be able to vnc into said player straight from the player manager / view. See example here [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

Omnivex Moxie
We have been extremely successful with Omnivex and Moxie. We are long time clients and have grown with their product. Our success within our organization is largely based on the reliability of the application to work correctly and run without issue.
PROSThe application is extremely powerful, robust and dependable. We have been with Omnivex for over 15 years and on Moxie for at least 10 years now. The product is excellent and totally reliable. You can do nearly anything with it for digital signage and be confident in the product to deliver.
CONSMy only negative feedback is based on support for YouTube streaming. This needs to be updated as it doesn't really exist and livestreaming to digital signage is an important function.
