Rise Vision Reviews

I like that I can bring in my own images to be displayed. It's easy to use for the most part. I do like setting up different placeholders to create a layout. I like some of the new templates but wish there was more that was more company-based, especially for manufacturing industries.

There seem to be a few bugs such as the weather widget not working all the time. I do wish there were some more free widgets like live radar maps with better local detail. Some charts and spreadsheet widgets would be great. Right now I embed them from Google sheets, which works great, but the look is not as clean.

Thank you for your review Crystal. I'll make sure to share your feedback with our product team. Please reach out to support@risevision.com if you ever need any assistance. Joy

Love Rise Vision and the way it makes it easy to communicate different events and messages to our community. The regular new templates keeps things interesting and the costumer service has been outstanding!

There is nothing I like least! Everything is easy to use!

Thank you for your review Justin!

The concept is simple to follow and its operations are clearly defined.

Sometimes dashboard features might be a little sluggish in their responsiveness. Visual statuses and connections lag a bit behind real time actions. But never affecting performance.

Hello Guy, Thank you for your review! Joy

I really enjoy that the product is user friendly and simple to get started. I really like the templates that are pre-made and the choice for me to be creative.

Had some errors happen when I try to add a template, not sure if the system is in maintenance but some strange errors have popped up today.

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the review! Rise Vision did run into an issue yesterday that caused those errors but everything is back to normal today. Sorry for any interruption that might have caused! Best, Shea

Software is easy to use, and easy to integrate existing Google Slide presentations. The templates are incredibly easy to use, and make the visuals really stand out in the school. Very easy to customize what is seen on monitors in different areas of the building. It also allows for others to contribute content, which is important in a school setting. The tutorials are very clear and helpful as well.

Some of the text interfaces take a bit to get used to.

Thanks for the review James!

I like the new design. Its much easier to create presentations than its predecessor. I like the ability as a system admin to manage multiple companies and provide individual support. The move to the cloud has been effortless and the uploading is fast. The price is very reasonable especially if you have multiple departments pitching in for licenses. Setup is fast and easy depending on which configuration you choose. We have chosen to use Windows 10 on a mini PC or Computestick. I like the ability to view/ restart your media player from the browser. The new templates are very nice and can be modified to fit any situation.

One improvement I find to be helpful is the ability to copy presentations to other companies. I know they can be shared with companies that are under them, but what if the company is not "under" the companies umbrella. I think there should be a way to backup presentations to a zip file. These backups could then be uploaded and used for other companies. Also, in the older version of Risevision you had the ability to view/edit your presentation in HTML. This feature may also be available in the new version but I haven't found it yet.

Thanks for the review Bradley :)

Deployment of Rise Vision has been easy. The templates and branding options have made content creation simple.

Creating presentations from scratch can sometimes be a bit clunky.

Thank you for the review!

- the live updating is nice! - the plugins that are available work - if you can figure out the "slide builder" it works

- learning curve on the slide builder is tough - schedules and displays being separated makes sense, but is not user friendly - sometimes, I think powerpoint would be better

The software offers a wide variety of templates for school setting activities.

When entering and editing information on the text widget window it cannot be expanded to full screen and the save and cancel buttons are unavailable if the screen is dragged too far down.

Thanks for the feedback Travis!

The available templates are great if they suit your needs. It can easily display webpages and when customizing you can create a sort of DIY widget with any embeddable web code which is handy.

Things often feel like they're missing just a little polish; the website *really* wants you to use Chrome and works your computer while you're building presentations. What you see in the editor isn't always what you get. Certain things require more processing power than you'd expect on the sign; we use a handful of Raspberry Pi units for signage and a lot of animations are rough on them, which seemed a bit odd since it's just showing a sort of web slideshow.

Thanks for the feedback Seth!

It is pretty user friendly, it is not difficult to pick up how to use it. The support when we have run in to issues has been great. We use this platform to manage signage for quite a few of our clients and this software makes it easy to do that all in one place.

It is often hard to be able to do all the little customizations we would like. It would be nice if you could snap content to the edges, or if when you are moving around a place holder box that there would be lines coming off of it so you could see how that placeholder lines up with the other placeholders on the screen. Right now you just have to eyeball it with not guidance or you have to type in the numeric value of where you want the box on the screen which is frustrating.

Thank you for the feedback Janelle!

I like how quickly I can update the information.

There are occasional glitches but not often.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Jill!

The software is easy to use and you can learn to navigate the program quickly. Templates are updated often and give you some great Ideas about how to get the message out! We use it as an in-house marketing tool to drive people to our outlets and let them know about upcoming events, specials, and general information/directions.

Some pre-made templates are not able to be customized. It would be nice to have the capability to ungroup so you can use certain elements that you like. Also please add a Blank Landscape Template.

Thanks for the review Michael.

Once you get the hang of it, it's easy to use, and the user interface is fairly UX-friendly.

There are a lot of scheduling options, that you can sometimes get lost in.

Thanks for the feedback Casper :)

It was very easy to learn how to use it. The company also does a great job of updating their templates.

In the beginning, you had to make two different display designs for 4k and 1080HD TV's. Now, most templates are universal which is great, but you can be limited on font size and design.

Thanks for the feedback Steve! Font size is coming very soon :)

Great templates. Was easier to change them when i first started using it compared to late.

The changes on how you can change the templates has changed and not as user friendly.

Thanks for the feedback Brady. More customization tools are on the way.

Runs on modest hardware, reasonable costs given the value.

Clunky editor for changing beyond a slideshow, the technical aspects are all there to make it appear differently on different screens, but that intimidated some of my less technical users.

Thanks for the review Steve!

We love Rise Vision at our school! We wanted to make a good first impression on students and community when they walk in our doors and Rise Vision helped us do that. There are templates for everything we need and they are easy to customize. This provides us with a professional look that our secretaries can manage on a daily basis. The ease of setup was a plus!

No real cons from us. We have been able to install and train office staff and the day to day operation is a breeze.

Thanks for the kind words Eric! We love what you're doing at West Fork :)

I like the scheduling capabilities on Rise Vision. I can update the schedule weekly (and if I do it correctly), I can let it play on its own.

I wish the graphic editing capabilities were a little friendlier. I would like to see more editing functions similar to using powerpoint.

Appreciate the feedback Wyatt! I'm glad you find schedules handy, that's definitely one of the best features of Rise Vision. Stay tuned for a few better editing features.

I love the way that it helps us to look professional and have a ton of information to give to our church members.

There are some clunky not as streamlined process that I think could be improved. The process of adding photos should be set up so that you can search by date or name. If it does, it isn't very visible

Thanks for the review Jennifer! We're releasing improvements to how you add photos in the next couple months :)

Lots of templates to use to create your media and easy to explore and understand. It is very fast to update and keep your materials fresh. We also love the ability to pull in other fun templates, like countdowns, fun facts and weather.

There are times when you may need some who is a little more tech-savvy to help you out, but the customer service has been great to help troubleshoot.

I'm happy to hear you like the templates and integrations! Thanks for the review :)

Rise vision was very easy to setup on multiple screens throughout our building, and easy to manage remotely. We have numerous users who can change content on the fly, and there are many useful add-ons like weather, RSS feeds, etc. that make for a dynamic display.

Some of the display setup can be a bit tricky, but once you get the layout right you rarely need to modify it.

It's awesome to learn a bit about how you're using Rise Vision to keep students engaged. Thanks for the feedback Nicholas!

I have 10 message boards around the hospital and I had to do all of the setup for them. Now with the easy why Rise Vision work, I know have depart leads make their own content.

Some of the web sites don't work as interactive kiosk. But still I can live with that .

Thank you for the feedback Cory!

I like that we have at least 2 different uses for the software. We are able to run slides all day and also show a schedule on a different tv. I like the ease with which I can update the slide show and I don't have to go to too many steps.

It would be nice if I could customize the first slide. It seems to be locked.

Thank you for the review Leanne. I've sent you an email about the slide you'd like to customize.

The vividness of the displays and "pop" they have on our tv's is impressive. It is like an ad one might see on tv. This is not a fancy power point. It is on a whole different level. The slides can vary and be unique which gets the attention of our students and prevents each slide from looking basically the same. You can do some really neat things.

I gave ease of use 3 of 5 stars because it is not an intuitive platform. One cannot just start clicking around and figure it out like you can with a lot of apps or other software, even if you are a bit tech savvy. It takes some time to learn how to manipulate and use the system. Once you learn it though, the ease of use would be 5 of 5 and it doesn't take months to learn. However, there is some time up front that has to be invested, a lot of trial and error, phone calls to support or other users until you get the hang of it. If the primary user were to leave the organization, it is not something that could just continue quickly without fail unless you had crossed trained someone.

Hi Jeff, I appreciate all the helpful feedback. I think you'll like a number of the improvements we have this year to make it easier for end users to pick up Rise Vision quickly.
