Poppulo vs. Spectrio

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.

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.

• 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.

• Using templates for quick content creation.
• Managing all screens in real-time and from a single dashboard.
• Intuitive and cost effective.

• 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.

• The equipment is excellent and the product is built to last and simple enough to use.

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.

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.

• 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.
