Chrome Sign Builder seems to work best when only one or two resources are displayed. Rotating through multiple screens in slideshow format without a ready ability to advance and pause causes some problems. When scheduling five outdoor ranges and a clubhouse, individuals have to stand and watch as sometimes complex calendars scroll by focusing on specific data and time. On the other hand, when limited to one or two rouses, the system works well enough.

This is a magnificent screen and projector that comes in a variety of sizes and in both 2K and 4K (and maybe even 8K). It has a dazzling display which makes sense if you have a large wall that needs to be visible both nearby and further away. But the cost is very high (and currently it's a bit cumbersome to order these and get them installed), so they do not make sense for smaller or less profitable organizations. If you have a ton of extra money and want to impress, then big yes to the LG DVLED!

Pros
Google
  • schedule YouTube videos and playlists
  • Use Chrome Sign Builder to display menus. For example, to show menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, create 3 schedules. Each schedule has its own menu URL to display the menu content.
  • create a presentation using Google Slides and display it using Chrome Sign Builder.
  • When you publish the presentation, set it to start as soon as it loads and restart again after the last slide.

Cons
Google
  • Would be good if there was a way if it could update live rather than needing to export the JSON file and upload it to the management console manually
  • Could be more visual based to make more complicated layouts easier rather than needing to use percentages.
  • Dated design compared to Google's latest UI upgrade

Support can be sparse, lengthy wait times, and sometimes not the most helpful solutions. If you really need assistance using it - contacting your VAR is a better bet than using Chrome Sign Builder support. We have also had frustrating cases where support will close tickets without a solution.

Chrome Sign Builder is very strong and flexible on manipulation and the quality of signs management is an effective and an excellent forms management system which is very easy on deployment and management of all our project documents. The easy-on reports building through Chrome Sign Builder is also another big point and the dashboard is very easy to adapt.

To be honest, I heard a lot about it, so I asked my employer to go with it. And they choose it. Now it helped us to make a better work environment in our office. Even some other guys from the same floor also ordered it because it comes with all you need.

Return on Investment
Google
  • As this is a free tool we save money on purchasing an alternative solution
  • Displaying pertinent signage through the building streamlines operations and provides the right data to those who need it
  • May not be as approachable to a new user, but someone with technical experience should have no issues getting started quickly with the tool

  • Allow user to have projector and screen in one (space saver).
  • Impress and retain clients.
  • But very expensive (and ultimately too expensive for us).
