No incentive was offered We have used Screenly for years now and everything from ease of use to the minimal times we've needed customer support has been fantastic. Great company, with an even better product. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This product is both easy to use and deploy fairly inexpensively as well. We use it daily for various tasks and it doesn't get much easier to schedule and deploy content. #### Cons I have no qualms with Screenly, everything has been great and only gotten better over time. --- ### Screenly quality is excellant with affordable pricing - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Trudy C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We wanted to be able to digitally promote our programs and group fitness schedule throughout the fitness center and locker rooms. Using Screenly has improved our communication with members and has helped us market new programming and training events to our members more effectively. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I think the features of the Screenly software are helpful in being able to manage videos and graphics so you can promote what you want when you want. It's very customizable. #### Cons When there is a communication issue with one of the screens oftentimes we have to reboot the whole player. Unfortunately, our screens are hung up very high so this is not convenient. I have tried the reboot within the software but rarely works. #### Reasons for choosing Screenly Pricing was the main factor. Screenly was affordable and also appeared to be easier to use than others I was looking at. --- ### Beautiful screens, not-so-beautiful features - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Randy S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The screens and resolution were beautiful on this product. Additionally, we were able to deploy hundreds of custom assets and playlists in a matter of hours. #### Cons We were siloed in to only using raspberry pi units and there were no transitions between graphics. When we changed the infrastructure of our wifi systems, the support documentation was zero help. We instead had to flash each of our 20+ units manually and reconfigure each on the new wifi. There should be an option built in to the ScreenlyOS image on the raspberry pi to modify wifi configs. --- ### Screenly - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Timmy M. - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Screenly is a software that i love cos it schedules my videos for a really long period of time and I can share my content to multiple screens and in multiple places that has helped solve a lot of my problems. But if the free and the commercial were more similar it will go a long way. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The fact that I can schedule content weeks in advance is a mazing. Also i can check the status of my screens, and get in control of your signage is simply impressive. #### Cons The only thing I did not like is the fact that you cannot use the free version to know the functionality of the commercial version. If this could be a little more similar it really would go a long way. --- ### Perfect for multi-location deployment - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sam P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

The weather and clock widget is awesome it detects the time zone and shows accurate information. #### Cons 1. it doesn't support hi-res images like HEIC files. 2. This OSE version only works on Raspberry Pi it should also have been made available to Windows as this can be very easy for us to utilize existing Intel Sticks. 3. Screenly doesn't have a proper news widget by default or should have a news ticker option I think it lacks such options as of now it is very basic signage software. --- ### In house advertising and employee communications campaign - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brent K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Support is good but occasionally a little slow. We actually went back to screenly after using the free Kiosk.show for a while as budget is our issue.

No incentive was offered Very disappointed that first they cancel their free one-screen option to new customers but then turn around and disable accounts for pre-existing customers like us. No warning either. I discovered by noticing nothing was on the display and then when logging in to see the “account disabled” notice. Nothing I can do except purchase their monthly package that was overkill for our small organization. Since we can’t afford to pay, I’m switching over to info-beamer. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Was a really great option for our non-profit that couldn’t afford another monthly cost. #### Cons Nothing I can think of.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Previously, we were manually updating our signage TV by TV. By switching to Screenly, the management of our signage has become significantly easier and manageable. Everything can be done remotely with information being scheduled ahead of time. It even lets you know when the signage is down. It's easy to use #### Cons I wish the file management was a little easier, like putting folders in folders --- ### Integra Technologies - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Linda T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Semiconductors - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall I am extremely happy with Screenly Pro and would not hesitate to recommend this product. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The Screenly Pro software program has made a positive impact within our organization by allowing us to reach our employees throughout all four locations on all shifts. With Screenly Pro I have the ability to make changes and send messages as quickly as clicking a button. The recent updates have made this process even easier. #### Cons The updates to the Screenly Pro are immediate. When I remove a slide from the Content it is automatically removed from the Playlist which is immediately removed from the display screens. I wish there was a 1- or 2-minute delay. The employees are aware when I am updating the presentations. --- ### Original signage program - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: George K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Research - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
