Podbean vs. Poppulo

Great for working and gathering information about the food industry. I use it regularly. I do not use the video function too often as it's not appropriate for my job role however, it's incredibly easy to use and seamless. The picture and sound quality are also very reliable and sharp.

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.

• It's easy to navigate and doesn't take long to find what you need.
• The process for uploading video and audio podcasts is intuitive and hassle-free.
• Configuration is intuitive and straightforward, which is appreciated.
• Access to multiple Podcasting streams.

• Great digital signage software and hardware
• Excellent personal business partner with fabulous account representatives
• Top notch execution team willing to go the extra mile

• Better analytics data. I would like to know what players people are using most.
• More obvious limitations of number of podcasts allowed in each pricing tier. Saying Business has unlimited number of podcasts is misleading if that is for unlimited private podcasts and only 2 public.

• There is a big learning curve - the program is complex and not the easiest to learn
• Works great once you know what you're doing, but can be tricky to operate

Their support is always spot-on, although they can be a bit delayed following up depending on the type of issue you're having.

For a personal podcast, I host on WordPress with a plugin called Seriously Simple Podcasting. This solution is a bare bones solution, good if you know how to manage a WordPress website and are able to submit your podcasts manually to different apps and services. If you can afford Podbean I would suggest using it because the WordPress route takes a lot more time and technical knowledge. Podbean takes so much of the hassle and work away from the process.

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.

• Great ROI because we don't have to use another service or change our process for posting
• The only negative impact was on my time when I had to manually post when the WordPress plugin was broken.
• We have things automated now, so it's a great positive impact

• The FWI display system has allowed us to create some very unique and one of a kind promotions that help us maintain a leading role in the Las Vegas locals market.
• The savings from not printing posters and other collateral have nearly paid for the display system in a very short time.
• The display system also allows us to promote many different things in a single location, unlike print.
• We can also advertise to different demographics based on location within a property such as gaming floor, floor perimeter, and non-gaming areas.
