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 & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • With SmartSign2go, we are able to display our company's info, our product description, our schemes, our plans and various other things at the LCD monitor kept outside our offices at various locations. With SmartSign2go, we are able to show curated contents on the display and customize the display as per need to make it more engaging. This tool is a great help to our business.
  • I really liked the ease of use and the quality in which it is possible to execute signatures. It's an excellent tool.
  • We love the way we can engage our customers with the smart signs that we can display at our various offices. It comes with many clean and attractive templates which makes our offerings even more promising with the help of live pictures and movable wallpapers. We receive a great appreciation from our customers about these signs that we display using smart signs. The best part of it is we can control all the signs from one place sitting at office and display a range of signs and templates on different offices as required. Their customer support team has been very helpful from helping us in setting up the tool to its day to day uses.
  • SmartSign2go offers an incredibly user-friendly platform, making it a breeze to set up eye-catching displays. The pre-designed templates are a huge time-saver.
  • Ease of use. Plenty of graphics and templates. Very reliable. System is reliable with zero down time.

Cons

  • Pricing can be costly for small businesses as it charges $200-$400 for the physical device to setup and get started with. That's a little concern for small business.
  • I found the program design a little confusing, but nothing that impacts the quality and benefits that the program brings.
  • There's been no such thing that I can recall of that I don't like about the tool. Its a simple tool and we like the functionalities.
  • The content customization options could be a bit more diverse, but it still covers the essentials well.
  • None so far. Have been using for few years and haven’t had any major issues.
