Great Digital Signage Solution
I needed a way to show customers what our business offers along with our success stories. The Breeze Digital Signage does that. I also use their signage internally, to show updates and progress on our projects. This feedback loop increases visibility and transparency to my employees.
PROS10/10, seriously! Breeze really is a breeze to use. (Sorry, couldn't resist!) Setting up my digital signage players and using the editor, scheduling, and publishing was really easy. If I get stuck, their knowledge base has the answers I need. The videos are short and to the point. There was one time I had to contact tech support directly and they had my problem fixed in a matter of minutes. Creating my playlists is very simple. I can easily organize my content in Zones and schedule it in the timeline. They also have widgets that I can drag and drop right in.
CONSAny product can be better, but I haven't seen one that comes close to the the number of features Breeze supports. Also, you can see the software improving all the time.

Great Fit for In Store Advertising
Overall, incredible product. We searched for a long time before landing with Breeze and it has been the perfect fit for our in store advertisements. We are able to switch them out on our own and update as often as we would like to keep everything fresh and current. Our sales rep [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was super easy to work with and very patient as we went through our decision process. [SENSITIVE CONTENT], our tech support, has been amazing. He helped us through any of the kinks with set up and made sure to follow up to make sure everything was running smoothly. His responses were almost always immediate. We have been utilizing the software for over 3 years and could not be more happy with the product they created.
PROSOnce you get settled in to learning all the features this software is easy to use. There are a lot of built in features that make it user friendly and the thing I love most about this is that I can access it through the browser on any computer at work or away.
CONSI would love to be able to create, load to a scheduled playlist and deploy to a device all in one screen instead of flipping back and forth.
Reason for choosing Breeze
Breeze's presentation was the best and they promised they could deliver exactly what we were looking for. Which they did! They are also local and we love supporting businesses in our area.
Vendor Response
Thank you very much for the nice words Sabrina. This is always our goal! About your question regarding a "single-screen" creation, and deployment...we might have a solution in the latest release. Call me (Wes) at 800-393-4966

Daily Use of Breeze
0.5/10, I would seriously advise against selecting Keywest/Breeze as your digital signage solution. The worst part isn't the software itself or the hardware you select to go with it. It's the lack of assistance Breeze offers. Their version of training is a bank of PowerPoints, yes PowerPoint presentations with about 15 slides per-topic. Hilariously enough the 2nd or 3rd slide of these PowerPoint is a sort of directory. At first this seems normal but as you try to navigate more specific tasks and find solutions in the manual it becomes this painful "Build Your Own Digital Signage" experience reminiscent of the 90's "Build Your Own Adventure Books". The manual will instruct you, "go to slide 9" for a specific piece of information, upon completion slide 9 will instruct you to "return to slide 5". Here's where they really get you, the cost of training and assistance. They offer nothing for self education aside from PowerPoints and text manuals that's aren't regularly updated, these manuals can be up to 5 years old and include no updated information. Essentially they force their clients to need additional resources then charge them for it.
PROSPublish on save is a useful feature. Saving a step from saving your changes and having the option for setting weather those changes are publish immediately or at a later time is convenient
CONS"Time Line" & "Zone", absolute mess to work with. Breeze fails to provide any real sufficient backend development and offers no real frontend options either. It's advertised as a drag and drop software, I assure you it is anything but.
Vendor Response
Good afternoon Cameron, I am sorry you have had a bad experience. Breeze is a subscription solution and that subscription covers everything (including selected hardware) We have lots of support materials (besides PPTXs, which a lot of people like). First, here is the link for our "Training Videos": https://helpdesk.keywesttechnology.com/portal/en/kb/articles/recorded-training And we have chat, email and 800-Tollfree support as well as a 24/7 HelpDesk! support ticket system. Yes, some materials are older, guilty as charged, and we're working on it (I will personally check on the "p9 to p5 Catch-22 item you mention). I am also curious what you mean by "backend and frontend development" as well as "drag and drop", which Breeze certainly is. I am unsure what you are referring to. Please feel free to call me anytime: Wes Dixon, VP, DIrector of Sales at (888) 393-4966 (mobile) or emails me at wesd@keywesttechnology.com. We remain, at your service.
