Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros This software is an absolute game-changer! Its user-friendly interface makes navigation a breeze, and setting it up couldn't be easier. The diverse range of options for displaying information is impressive, and the ability to interact with content via touchscreens adds a whole new level of engagement. Whether you're showcasing products, providing information, or enhancing presentations, FrontFace delivers unparalleled functionality with seamless simplicity. Highly recommend! Capabilities are numerous! You can add scrolling RSS feeds, videos, PDF files, web pages and more! I like the various styles you can use to make each page. Very customizable. You can make content complex with schedules and animation, or as simple as playing whatever you place in a network folder. You can buy add-on modules as well. I really like how easy it is to setup different publishing methods. One of the reasons that we went with FrontFace was that we could publish the projects directly onto our internal network drive, which has enabled us to control access on both a network drive, and user account level. I also like how customizable the player's features are with the ability to shut off things I don't want like Cortana, and some windows features using the Lockdown Tool. I also like how I was able to teach an average user how to setup the content, and after about 1 month of occasional questions and concerns, I pretty much don't hear from the content side unless they're trying to setup something completely new. I really like how easy it is to edit the contents of each player and control multiple players from one project, as that has enabled us to rollout general announcements to different departments quite easily. I also like how quickly support has answered any of my questions when one of my players had problems. I have 4 players, with another 3 in a different office that I'm not responsible for, and of the 7 total usually all are either working correctly, or one has a problem that is fixed by a restart once a week. Mirabyte FrontFace provided the missing piece to our electrical substation ready room message board. It satisfied our stringent cybersecurity requirements. Its easy intuitive setup is a breeze - quick and easy to update daily! Screen development including video content provide the important scheduling information the team needs on a daily basis. The ticker tape option provides emphasis for key information to all personnel. We were able to integrate our custom database into FrontFace fairly easily as our database program is extremely old. Security per user was a huge benefit. IT can push update and lock things down remotely and easily. Cons So far, I haven't encountered any issues with the software, and it has fulfilled all my wishes seamlessly. The lockdown tool can be a bit too complex, although the default settings are probably good for most users. Sometimes the program gets confused and puts the wrong content on the display, though this seems like it may be Windows fault as much as FrontFace since the screens are being re-ordered in Windows. For a while the auto-login setting in the Lockdown Tool didn't work with my domain, this fixed itself a few months ago, so I'm not entirely sure if it was Microsoft, or a problem with the Lockdown Tool. Most other minor problems I've had have been fixed by doing either a daily, or weekly restart of the player computer. Using MS Excel directly is bit challenging. It's easier to convert the excel spreadsheets to a .pdf file and upload to FrontFace. Working with multiple displays of different orientation and resolution on a single PC caused challenges getting the correct display to remain in the correct position with the correct resolution, especially during a reboot.		Pros from Real Users Pros Screen organization: it was easy to locate the screens by name. It was just a user, not an administrator, and it was user-friendly on my end. The templates make it very easy to get started and continually refresh our presentations. The interface walks you through adding new visuals and calls to action. It has saved me time since I don't have to think up everything on my own. There are a lot of templates to use to get started and make posting easier, but it also allows you to connect directly to Canva to upload your own content. Easy of use and setup. The amount of options available to display to screens. Sales team is quick to respond to needs and questions User friendly; quick to upload and edit images; screen share option is great. When you need fast and dependable, Rise Vision is where to go. Easy to use , weekly trainings, designs are good, very useful, easy to setup, solved our problem of signage for samsung tvs Easy to use, easy to deploy, easy to navigate, and reliable. We love the ability to use templates, and the integration with Canva. What we appreciate most about Rise Vision is its ability to display multiple pieces of content at the same time. This feature is especially valuable in a large, active learning environment like our Wellness and Performance Center. We can show workout instructions, movement demonstrations, announcements, safety reminders, nutrition or wellness education, and program updates all within the same display. This helps us keep students engaged while making important information visible and accessible. Rise Vision has also helped us create a more professional and dynamic environment. Instead of relying only on verbal directions, printed signs, or separate slideshows, we are able to use digital displays to support teaching, reinforce expectations, and highlight key messages. This has improved the way we communicate with students and has made our space feel more connected, modern, and intentional. It works on everything! Very flexible, nice, and has everything I need. I enjoy using the schedules and the presentation designer. Rise Vision is extremely easy to use. It is a program that has transformed our ability to communicate with our students. It also allows us to celebrate successes and share good news. We use it as a learning tool - daily history facts, etc. We are able to save so much time by using the presentations and has really been informative.
