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.

If you want to create an elaborate, multi-leveled kiosk for your organization, Four Winds Interactive Content Manager Desktop can definitely do that for you. Just know going in that it's not the easiest to operate, and definitely devote time to training. Definitely have a couple of people go through this training, so it's not just one person in your organization that can operate Four Winds.

  • The FWi platform handles very complex or unique situations better than other signage solutions. They support every standard type of data and web service, and through a supplemental Integration Framework product they can support almost anything out there... or things that aren't even out there yet.
  • Their support and assistance has gotten very good over the years; I'd say it is now excellent. Their team of sign builders and engineers have advanced knowledge of the product and how it can be used; you won't get a "did you try restarting it?" when dealing with them.

  • When working with a large installation the amount of mouse clicking and dragging and setting of settings and make your hand a bit sore but the modular component setup of this software demands a lot of settings.
  • As a custom software designer myself I would like to see more group effective operations so I could effect a change at a property level instead of an individual player level.
  • Upgrading to a new version of the software I have left to the experts at FWI because it is rather complex. They state they are working on better ways to perform large upgrades.

Simply put, FWi outperforms just about any other software solution by being more adaptable and more reliable, while being competitively priced for its class (top shelf). It's not as cheap as using "free" signage software that's in the cloud, or built into display screens (LG), but if you plan on doing more than running slides and you plan on doing it in multiple locations and screens, this is the platform to do it on - especially if your venues and needs vary across the network.
