Rise Vision - Cafe Menu Boards
I have been using Rise Vision in one form or another for probably 15 years. Typically for some simple slideshow programs on lobby monitors, however the last year Rise has been powering our Coffee Shop menu boards, and the teams there are loving it.
PROSThe ease of customization and user training is key to our use case. Once trained, users end up taking it to the next level on their own, and are able to be creative with how we use the product.
CONSCurrently running a few screens off of Raspberry Pi 4's, and depending on the complexity of our boards, the software reboots every few days. I'll be updating the hardware to Intel NUCs soon, which should solve that issue.
Reason for choosing Rise Vision
Cost, flexibility with pulling in live data (from Google Sheets), ease of training new users.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the feedback Josh. It's amazing to hear you've been using Rise Vision for 15 years!

Rise Vision - Eveything needed for digital signage
My overall experience has been great with Rise Vision! It definitely took care of all my needs for our digital signage issues. To have the ability to run multiple displays and to be able to update, (on the fly), has been huge for my team! Multiple people can be creating or publishing presentations at the same time. I have and will continue to recommend Rise Vison software solution.
PROSFrom the first time I used Rise Vision , I have found that it has always very user friendly. All the templates are easy to follow and the novice person could navigate through them. Storage is very big and the ability to upload and download to the site is exceptional. Also, the "Help," section gives concise information that will help you with creating your own presentations and templates.
CONSThe only thing that is giving me a slight drawback is the customer support section. I am in charge of a small - medium site, and I need to be able to speak with someone from tech support and not just email. So, if there could be something that can be worked on, its the customer's access to the techs. Once I was able to communicate my problems, they were addressed in a timely manner, but without the ability to call it was problematic .
Reason for choosing Rise Vision
The ease of use from setup to actual presentations was the biggest factor. Also, the ability to use it on different platforms. I have used the displays on Rasberry Pi's, Windows 10, and Mac's.

Ease of Rise Vision
My experience with Rise Vision is one hundred percent positive! I would recommend this program to everyone and anyone!
PROSRise Vision is very user friendly, easy to learn and easy to manage. After the improvement to Rise Vision this past year it is even easier and faster to use. I work in a high school with multiple screens throughout the building and many people have commented on how nice it is to see all the different announcements etc. up for viewing. We have them in the main hall, counseling and the cafeteria which makes it accessible for students and staff to view. Again the program is easy to manage and very useful.
CONSI have not had any bad experiences while using Rise Vision.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback Amy! We are happy to hear that using Rise Vision has been easy for you! Joy

Rise Vision provides exceptional digitial signage solutions
Rise Vision customer service is prompt and walks you through any issues with patience and high-end knowledge of not only their product but best practices.
PROSRise Vision actually listens to the feedback from their users. We have been a customer for about ten years and Rise continues to evolve their products based on the needs of the user. With a user-friendly interface and out-of-the-box templates, you can be up and running in no time. I manage 40 end users who do not have much, if any, HTML or CSS knowledge. They are able to start designing their own content after a one hour overview.
CONSWe use Raspberry Pis for our signage and some of the templates are too labor-intensive for the smaller Pis. Not a big issue as we are able to adjust with other content.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the great feedback!

Rise Vision Works for my Not-For-Profit
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.
PROSI 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.
CONSProbably 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.

Rise Vision Review
I love Rise Vision and especially the Tech Support. It has been a great learning curve and a fun adventure! Thank you
PROSI 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.
CONSI wish there was more flexibility with the easy templates.

Great product, with flexibility
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!)
PROSThe software and tools are easy to use. I can show someone how to create or make changes to their display in just minutes
CONSI 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.

Great value, just strange setup
Price was the biggest pro for us. It's one of the lowest cost digital signage solutions out there.
CONSThe fact that don't have a dedicated player is kind of an issue. While the flexibility to run it on lots of devices is nice, the setup on each device is unique and therefore, not always predictable. Integration with Google Slides also wasn't great.

Digital Signage on Campus
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.
PROSCreating 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.
CONSIt would be helpful if there was an easier way to schedule when the ads are posted.

It's fantastic to hear Rise Vision has helped you increase event attendance so much. Thank you for sharing!

Easy digital signage that anyone can update
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.
PROSRuns on modest hardware, reasonable costs given the value.
CONSClunky 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.

Great product for Higher Ed Signage
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.
PROSRise 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.
CONSSome of the display setup can be a bit tricky, but once you get the layout right you rarely need to modify it.

It's awesome to learn a bit about how you're using Rise Vision to keep students engaged. Thanks for the feedback Nicholas!

Good once you overcome the learning curve
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.
PROSThis 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.
CONSThe 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.
