Emerald Signage is a fantastic option since they have a long history of providing outstanding service to their clients. The most efficient approach of producing large format images of both actual objects and digital displays, as well as portraits of specific people. It is also becoming more of a common habit to advertise certain products and services on a variety of social networking sites.

User friendly, reliable and inclusive to remote audiences. The product grows organically for us which speaks for itself ; the business at sites we could not equip with our initial investments requests it. We have made the choice of Zoom rooms 5 years ago and it is still one our our star products supporting frictionless collaboration.

Cons
Userful
  • Despite the fact that I have not been using it for a few months, there does not seem to be any missing functionality at this time.

  • Support is prompt, but not always the most immediately knowledgable or helpful.
  • Admin portal is convoluted. There's gotta be a better way to assign scheduling permisissions.
  • Zoom account managers are constantly being reassigned. It is nearly impossible to keep track of who presently is our account manager. When we were going through the process of looking into Zoom Phone, our manager was literally switched twice, resulting in us working with three total managers during that two-month process.

User friendliness (experience very similar to the already familiar Zoom app), consistency of the UX across locations and manufacturers. Screen sharing is made super easy (proximity). Zoom rooms support strategic needs for Hybrid work and reduced travels. Backend admin interface is simple (that's good) and provides useful dashboards for trend analysis.

Emerald Signage, in general, is designed to be user-friendly and uncomplicated, making it an ideal choice for those who are just beginning their careers. It is possible for even the most unskilled user to create the idea that they are an expert when it comes to delivering data to your digital signage. This is made possible by the software that we employ. Newcomers to the industry often turn to Emerald Signage for their signage needs. They are able to easily manage the process in its entirety even if they have no previous experience.

I personally think Zoom Rooms is superior to Teams. I have setup 3 or 4 Zooms Rooms for my organisation and it is pretty straightforward to do without any formal training or education on Zoom Rooms. My experience with Teams was the opposite. A horrible interface and options deliberately hidden away in menus levels deep. On top of which, Zoom Room outperforms Teams Rooms in both video and audio. On the desktop, Teams is a bloated app whereas, in my experience, Zoom Rooms works well.

  • Great value for money as used it more than planned after installation.
  • Finding the use of screen share and whiteboards is becoming very popular and meant we wanted a larger screen for this. ;-)
