Chrome Sign Builder helps to keep our organization's schedules consistent across devices. Regardless of where they are located or what device they are using to access the schedule. For our business, we use Chrome Sign Builder to create visually engaging schedules that are easily accessed from anywhere, on any device.
  • Intuitive.
  • Organized.
  • Linked across platforms.
  • Not as well known.
  • Not as widely utilized.
Chrome Sign Builder makes scheduling more consistent by providing access across multiple platforms and devices. It is less appropriate if there is no access to the internet.

Chrome Sign Builder capabilities are effective on and the features are responsive to different user commands. The ability to manage documents for multiple projects through Chrome Sign Builder is excellent and a perfect system that allows easy data migration across other compatible platforms. The reporting tools are also the best and the workflow and easy management of this software are excellent.
  • Powerful and easy features to set.
  • Effective functions for insights collections.
  • Categorization and dorms management.
  • Not much that i can recall, but to implement as a new user can be turf.
  • Migration of multiple document.
  • Handling big files from multiple projects.
Chrome Sign Builder's capability on signs management and ease to preview multiple documents and files is incredible and the speed of the features is very profitable. The platform offers the best data analytics features and reporting functionalities which allows easy creation of reports from different events and projects. The ability to manage forms and files arrangement through the software is excellent.

Google Chrome Sign Builders allows me to put seamless and hustle-free calendar invites with URL links, which help me most when setting up a client or personal meetings as well, also the configuration that will help you link through such Images, and YouTube accounts is also very helpful for me since I am a type of a working person wants to listen to music while doing a report or a task. Mainly it helps me stay on track with my tasks, appointments, meetings, etc.
  • Calendar appointment setting.
  • Google presentations which you can have a restricted access for privacy.
  • YouTube Sync video Playlist.
  • Maybe can add monitoring tools for better usage.
  • Upgrade in digital signage.
  • More sync apps for better usage.
It's Free and accessible and easy to manage, especially for a beginner. Very helpful for me to set calendar invites and meetings, especially at this time mostly using virtual meetings. And maybe it will be more helpful if it has a feature that has a one-pager that can see or access all views at a time, it is useful for multitasking times.

This Chrome Sign Builder plugin is really very helpful when it comes to showing multiple contents. It helps me to save time by scheduling tasks over multiple devices at once. It is very easy in configure and helps me to run my work smoothly.
  • Allow to schedule tasks for different devices.
  • Very easy to import schedules.
  • While using the sign builder I often faced sync issue with other devices.
  • In some devices it shows the title bar button at Full-screen that is very annoying.
  • Sometime it crashes my browser.
It allows me to set up the presentation very easily and you can change the transition time as per your need.

We run a mid-sized social organization with multiple facilities/areas that can be reserved or used by members and guests. Previously we used posted paper calendars to track, maintain, and communicate reservations and free times for those facilities. By using Chrome Sign Builder we hoped to be able to manage updates and make them dynamic, ensuring consistency between what is published on our web calendars and what is posted on printed calendars.
  • Makes changes to our reservation system dynamic.
  • Informs users of free and reserved times when they arrive.
  • Reduces conflict because one person relied on a web calendar and another relied on a posted calendar.
  • I feel that Chrome Sign Builder lacks inherent stability when version changes come out to the basic operating system.
  • Chrome Sign Builder does not have a high priority within the Google enterprise, and updates and bug fixes are slower than slow.
  • In my opinion, Chrome Sign Builder does not do particularly well in displaying multiple resources at one glance.
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.

We used Sign Builder in the past for presenting Google Slides. We needed something more efficient than trying to handle everything by ourselves, and it gave us a good centralized location to contain items that could be accessed/edited by multiple people. It was also free, which of course, fed into our decision.
  • No cost.
  • Decently easy to manage once you've beaten the learning curve.
  • Good for content scheduling.
  • No monitoring tool.
  • Can be difficult to manage all of the content.
  • I don't know if I would necessarily call this a sign builder - more of a content manager, if anything.
It was well suited for signage close by. We did notice that there were more issues with remote signage since there is no monitoring tool. It also seems to not be created to handle kiosk mode which is what we run most of our business applications on, so this was a bit of an issue. It seems like a good starter program, but there are better ones out there.

Chrome Sign Builder is a digital signage utility that helps me in planning the day-to-day syncs properly and in chronological order so that there is no miss or chance of escaping the same. Based on my usage it shows all the relevant things which can be accessed easily and without any hassle.
  • Systematic order
  • Proper sync
  • Chronological sequence
  • Single search also creates history to repeat
  • Too much data at micro level storage
  • Multiple options
Based on my experience Chrome Sign Builder has helped in drafting the marketing packages based on the relevant searches. This is a software that works like macros of Excel which will by default store similar data or matched data as per the previous history and reflects the necessary plus additional information to the user.

We utilize Chome Sign Builder to display digital content, typically internal advertising, at all of our locations. It allows us to quickly and simply display current promotions or upcoming events to all of our customers and sometimes our staff as well. Chrome Sign Builder makes it easy for our marketing department to update and display content with minimal setup from the IT department.
  • Schedules
  • Fair pricing.
  • Easy deployment on multiple devices.
  • Customization of the default deployment of the content has to be done with JSON.
  • Extended support for older Chrome OS devices.
  • Aging Chrome Apps is set to end of life, and a replacement will be needed.
If you are looking for an inexpensive, set-and-forget digital signage solution and your content isn't customized often, Chome Sign Builder is a win. It is easy to set up, includes multiple identity providers, and its Kiosk mode makes displaying the content a breeze on many different supported devices. It also doesn't require much maintenance, so if your team is small, it's a perfect fit.

Chrome Sign Builder from Google is a free tool and serves as a teaser for the digital signage sector. We can schedule web content to appear on Chrome OS devices using the Chrome Sign Builder (Chromebook, Chromebox, Chromebit, and Chromebase). Chrome Sign Builder offers various features such as monitoring and reporting, offline working through caching, widgets, templates, and other options.
  • Content scheduling
  • Showing web content that can be edited easily by anyone who has access to the sign
  • Showing presentations created with Google Slides
  • May need to add a content monitoring tool
  • Google can use a more visual approach to simplify more complex layouts
  • Ability to manage large content
When you publish a Google Slides presentation online, the screen will automatically refresh as new information is added or removed. When working with this scenario, longer documents that can't be displayed on a single screen are less appropriate to work.

I use [Chrome] Sign Builder to turn an old Asus Chromebit into a digital display for our school. I have multiple Google Slides presentations that have been specially formatted to fit within certain parts of the screen, and then [Chrome] Sign Builder was used to display them all at once via a single URL. This means that parts of the display can be updated by simply updating the relevant presentation.
  • Allow for multiple documents to be displayed on screen at once
  • Makes creating a JSON file to feed into the Google Admin console easy
  • Can be set to work on different schedules if necessary
  • 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
[Chrome] Sign Builder is fantastic if you have specific single page documents which you would like to display at different times. It always works well with a Google Slides presentation which can be published to the web as this will automatically update on screen. It would not work well with longer documents that don't fit on a single screen. Documents are also limited to taking up a percentage of the screen starting from one of the corners, it is not easy to customise the display further.
