FrontFace vs. Zcast Comparison Chart

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.
