Great product - good price
It is very easy to create content and publish to campaigns. The included apps more than cover what we need and whilst we're yet to look at scheduling, it seems relatively simple to do. There is plenty of help on the site too.
CONSNothing as yet. We've had a few issues with Power BI not loading properly but this is more likely a Microsoft issue rather than VuePilot.

Great software for displaying content
Our company was looking for an way to display Power BI reports on information screens around the workplace that would be both easy and inexpensive. We find that VuePilot software meets both of that needs. The management is simple and easy to figure out. We are now able to display live content of Power BI reports and dashboards within minutes!
CONSWe are using VuePilot with Raspberry Pi 4.0 with 4GB QuadCore and the loading of content could be more responsive. It takes a 7-8 seconds to load the Power BI reports on the screen. But regular URLs and images loads almost instantly.
Reason for choosing VuePilot
I chose VuePilot because of ease of use and the possibility to display live content from Power BI.

Really happy to hear the product is working out for you Daniel. Thank you for an honest review!

Just what was needed
Great so far. Would recommend.
PROSPreviously I had used a free dashboard rotator but ran into problems with compatibility when there was a software upgrade. I turned to VuePilot with the free trial after looking at reviews and it is just what we need. Simple, easy to figure out how to use, great value and no massive upfront investment of time or money to get going. I am using it to rotate PowerBI dashboards to provide company data and information to the shopfloor... and will be extending this to more screens shortly.
CONSA how to video example would be great on first set up... although it is very easy to figure out.
Reason for choosing VuePilot
Had more recommendations.
Reasons for switching to VuePilot
This stopped working with PowerBI / Windows 10 (not really sure ... just would not work)
Vendor Response
Great to hear that you're finding value in VuePilot Annette, thank you for the positive review! Please let us know if we can be of any assistance

Office Display Screen
Very good, the trial didn't require a credit card and had full functionality so we could test properly before comitting. I had a query over one of the apps and they replied quickly and were very helpful
PROSVue Pilot just works and allows many different types of content to be added. Tried various free methods of rotating through reports or things to display and they tended to frequently need restarting or intervention. Being able to rotate through Power BI reports was the main function we were looking for but have since added a lot of other content to maintain office staff interest in what is being displayed. Examples include business news, weather, countdowns to events, new product launches and many more
CONSOnly issue we had was with an RSS feed display, some text blurred when changing from one story to the next. This was down to how were connected to a remote computer though
Reason for choosing VuePilot
It just works and really easy to add and change content, lots of flexibility

Pleased and impressed
Overall just very pleased. It only took us a couple hours after setting up the trial until we purchased multiple licenses.
PROSThe application is fairly intuitive, I felt very comfortable navigating the software within 10-15 minutes of the first use. I was able to create a rotation and had it up and running within minutes.
CONSI haven't discovered any yet, but there is always room for improvement.

Simple & effective display management software
We're a fairly data heavy company, we have a lot of dashboards and reports that we've traditionally just put on screens with browsers. That's obviously a manual process so its has saved us time and effort to just have that screen powered by VuePilot and manage it from the admin panel. We're also using the software in the lobby for things like meetup notice boards , in meeting rooms and general announcements to the company on some of the screens around common areas so its our signage solution too. It's pretty handy
PROSIncredibly easy to get up and running, takes only a few minutes. We liked that we could simply use old machines that we had laying around our office to power the screens which we already had displaying our reports and notices anyway. We didn't need to buy new hardware or specific signage devices. The built in apps are great for displaying pretty announcements and news feeds but we also liked that we can display regular web pages for things like Power BI Reports or our own in-house dashboards. We're able to push out announcements and reporting dashboards to all our office screens in seconds.
CONSSome form of automated updates so we stay current would be good. They seem to be releasing updated versions at a rapid rate. Iv been told this is coming soon
Vendor Response
Thank you for your feedback James! We're happy you've found the product easy to get up and running. Our goal is to make VuePilot one of the most easiest to use products on the market. Regarding your feedback automatic updates have recently been launched and are available to all customers now. Thanks again

Management Software worth the name
Easy dashboard views, and colorfully presentable tools for information dissemination across work groups and departments. A good product I can easily recommend to anyone.
PROSWorks similar to a browser which is pretty cool, with easy log in and authentication information, etc. Our company generally has a ton of data, we regularly want to see what we have, and what we can do with what we have in several dashboards. Across multiple departments and rotations, Vue Pilot handled what we threw at it very well
CONSHad a bit of difficulty getting used to the Hijack panel, but eventually figured it out. Aside that, solid software.

Revolutionary!!!
Very easy to set up and use, and the service is outstanding.
PROSThe fact you can add different types of information through apps including our youtube videos, images and dynamic content from our PowerBI dashboards makes VuePilot the perfect solution. We've seen engagement within our business increase very quickly since putting up the visual display for all to see. The fact you can control from a remote computer makes it even easier to use with displays that are located higher up on walls.
CONSHaven't found anything not to like so far!!
Reason for choosing VuePilot
VuePilot provided a far easier to use solution, that can be changed very quickly
Reasons for switching to VuePilot
The alternative was either a static page or trying things like google chrome tab switching which was very cumbersome.

VuePilot perfect for our digital display environment
I've had an excellent experience with the VuePilot support team. There was an issue authenticating Microsoft Power BI reports to our environment and the team quickly determined that Microsoft had made a change that affected the authentication. VuePilot deployed a fix overnight so that we could continue using their service uninterrupted. They were very responsive with multiple updates.
PROSInstallation of the VuePilot application on the PC driving the display was very easy. Controlling the application remotely from an online dashboard was critical to our buying decision. We have remote displays that are not directly accessible because they are in a different state/country. Being able to perfectly display a variety of content, in particular Microsoft Power BI reports and dashboards was the deal clincher.
CONSNo specific cons to speak of. Everything is very well thought out and user friendly.

VuePilot is an adequate Screen Display software especially for one computer with multiple screens.
overall i was pleased and for my main purpose it works very, very well. and it's very easy to maintain. this was a big, big plus for me as time is extremely important to me.
PROSthe biggest thing i like was being able to use the software on one computer that has 4 screens connected and to control the rotations that are applied to each screen in the order i want. biggest seller for me was this feature.
CONSi wish there was a more user friendly app designer for creating custom screens. such as dragging images and text onto the "canvas" area. I ended up using the HTML app to make what i wanted.
Reason for choosing VuePilot

PROSMakes it so easy to set up displays on multiple screens and change those on the fly. Our previous solution was too complicated and too hard to update. This is a life changer.

Great solution for displaying data around the office!
It's been great, really. We're hearing complements from the workers and see an improvement in the relevant department. Plus, it makes the info on the screen less boring, and lets you learn about other departments.
PROSI liked the features VuePilot gives and the UI. The GitHub integration is amazing and makes handling pull requests a breeze - we seen a reduction in the number of open PRs and a reduction in the time it takes to approve them. It's great that you can walk around the office and see different screens that are relevant for your department.
CONSI'd love to see integration with more apps like Jira, BitBucket, and an ability for better integration with the internal apps of the office.

VuePilot
We were looking for a solution how we could publish Power BI reports on our screens without much effort. VuePilot gave us the possibility to do this quickly and without any problems. The tool is very easy to use. Various contents can be distributed and published quickly.
CONSHope VuePilot will continue to work diligently on enhancements and/or new features. The page turning within a Power BI report would still make sense...
