Chrome Sign Builder vs. OptiSigns

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.

OptiSigns has made it incredibly simple and practical to manage digital signs. The mobile app functions nicely, and video playback is far superior to the other signage software competitors. Extremely fast to set up. The system's simplicity of use and cloud compatibility is what I like best. It is incredibly simple and intuitive to upload files and switch screens. The TV stick is plug-and-play and requires little to no technical expertise. And less appropriate for me is I believe the scheduling should be improved to allow for more spontaneous additions to the schedule. It would also be helpful if there was a feature that allowed the screen to turn on and off according to a timetable. The sync play feature may be improved. I find it annoying that YouTube playlists must be timed to exactly match their duration to appear correctly. The mobile app should get an emergency message feature.

• 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.

• 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.
