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 like the fact that I can adjust how long each slide is displayed. Some slides don't need to show for very long, like the weather, while others require more reading and being able to adjust how long they show is very useful. The support they provide for any questions was easy to schedule.

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.

They provide templates that can be customized as needed based on your branding requirements. It also helps since we don't have an in-house marketing team to make things look fancy when creating from scratch. The software is intuitive and easy to use. It also offers the ability to collaborate on specific playlists for users both within and outside of the company.

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

  • Obviously, I am very satisfied with this solution. I would say the reason is a sum of factors, such as an easy to use dashboard, automatic content generation, a variety of different applications, which can cover almost any request from the client.
