About

FrontFace is a powerful, on premise Digital Signage & Kiosk Software product (no SaaS), which allows you to easily setup flexible and very reliable interactive kiosk terminals, touchscreen frontends as well as non-interactive public displays and digital signage applications, advertising or information displays, self-service kiosks, etc. FrontFace can display any kind of media format, no matter whether you want to display text, pictures, photos, PDFs, videos, news ticker tapes or even entire Web pages (HTML5). But really the best news is that you can use ANY Windows application that is capable of printing for producing high quality HD content for your display. Use PowerPoint, Word, Excel, etc. to create content for your playlists. Stick to the tools you are used to without having to invest in learning how to use a new, complex design application! Content management is super-easy with FrontFace. No programming skills are needed!

About

viewneo helps organizations keep employees, customers, and locations informed through centrally managed digital signage. The platform allows teams to create, schedule, and distribute content across screens and locations from one central system. It can be used for employee communication, company announcements, digital noticeboards, KPI dashboards, production updates, meeting-room information, retail messaging, and customer-facing displays. Central communication teams maintain control over the screen network while departments, branches, and subsidiaries receive their own clearly defined access rights. User roles, shared content, and flexible account structures make it possible to combine central governance with local content management. viewneo integrates content from tools including Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Google Slides, websites, RSS feeds, and social media. Content can be scheduled and targeted by time, location, or screen group.

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

  • Viewneo offers a user-friendly digital signage solution that simplifies communication across multiple locations. One of its standout features is the ease of use, allowing even those with limited technical skills to operate the system efficiently. Troubleshooting individual devices is straightforward, which minimizes downtime and ensures continuous information flow. The software also allows for precise control over slide durations, which enhances the visibility and impact of each message. Furthermore, the slide creator is equipped with a variety of design features, making it possible to create engaging and visually appealing content. The interface is well-organized, making it easy to manage devices and playlists, which is especially beneficial for companies with extensive operations like ours.
  • The viewneo ecosystem has been the backbone of our internal messaging/information display. It runs all our screens over multiple branches in multiple states and let's us easily assign different groups to each department. From showcasing work, and RSS news feeds, to custom welcome screens for clients, the system has allowed us to easy disseminate the information we need from any office at any time. We have recently also been using other viewneo products for more experiential needs via rfid sensors and touch interaction. The breadth of technology available is impressive and we look forward to expanding our use for new applications in the future.

Cons

  • The native slide creator, while functional, can feel a bit clunky and offers somewhat limited creative options, which might be restrictive for those looking to produce more sophisticated presentations. Additionally, the pricing of the service is on the higher side, which could be a concern for businesses looking to scale or manage costs aggressively.
  • While the interface is html5 compliant, the mobile use is still manageable, but feels more optimized for desktop.
