    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.

    I used QuarkXPress to maintain a proper page layout for the UI which I receive from a UIUX developer. I develop Graphic Illustrations on the digital canvas to create creative content on the page design set and to develop designer headlines and sub-headlines where writers and editors can amend the text and place the copped images.

    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

    • Currently does not have a way to open really old archived QuarkXPress files.
    • Text manipulation could be expanded upon (ie be able to warp or distort text).
    • Be able to output files in InDesign format.

    This is an industry standard. It is intuitive and pretty simple. I have been using it for 40 years and by no means do I use its potential, rather it does just what I want it to do.

    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.

    QuarkXPress simply blew the competition out of the water when it came to pricing and scalability in our business. Every employee that uses Quark always speaks very highly about using the software. We are not a large company but, the amount of money saved on the cost of each license was about 60% when compared to the competitors' products.

    Return on Investment

    • 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
