Overall, we are extremely happy with ScreenCloud. Incredible service and we love having some eye popping content rather than a sign. Love the ease of signing in, and may add screens!
The options for installation. We went with an Intel Compute Stick, and it was incredibly easy to setup and operate. LOVE the many ways you can customize the screen layout, the ease of creating playlists, uploading content, and LOVE THE APPS! We use the news ticker on the bottom at all times, toss in the weather once in a while, etc.
We initially used the Google Slides app to pull in the various images we wanted. That became problematic in grabbing the feed, so we went and uploaded the files directly. Wish it was easy to schedule, I have not had time to really optimize the scheduling feature, as it seems like it would take quite a bit of time.

I like how easy it is to change out the content on the devices. It's also great that I can access it via the mobile app and change things on the go.
I don't like that we use the Amazon firestick to get the app to our TVs. The firestick has constant updates which causes the content to crash and you have to manually go in and reopen the Screencloud app on the firestick. Sometimes you have to completely delete the app and redownload it. Highly recommend going a different route than the Firestick.

Great
Love the ease of use and the price point of ScreenCloud.
No features to create content using canva plugin. I would also love to offer multi-screen deals for my clients.

Very positive, from the moment of engagement with the trainer and throughout the support process. The actual software is very user-friendly
It is a marvelously impactful way of connecting with my audience - and they need do nothing but walk past my screens for me to engage with them.
I would like the default timing to be 20 seconds, 10 is too short

Customer service is really good!!
I like the ability to create content on the canvas. It is easy and I imported the font for brand compliance.
It is glitch at times. The screens go blank and software needs reset often. It does take alot of time to reset it. Support has been helpful, but isn't completely fixed.

We use Screencloud on 7 screen across campus to deliver information to the campus community. It is simple and easy to manage. There are a lot of additional integrations that allow you to display news, local weather, bus schedules, countdowns and really anything you would need. For our purposes, we typically run a Google Slide deck so that we can collaborate with others across campus on the content.
The remote screen management is the most important feature of Screencloud. They have a lot of templates and integrations that we can use but we have found that the most simple integration that we can use to collaborate with various content owners is Google Slides.
We run Screencloud on several tv screen across campus through Amazon Firesticks. Ideally, if a television is turned off, when it is turned on again, Screencloud should automatically start. It works most times but occasionally we will have to manually open Screencloud. The Firestick will also go to sleep between playlists if there is nothing scheduled which means we have to manually restart the Firestick.
Hi Whit, thank you so much for leaving us a review. It's great to see the value you're getting from using ScreenCloud and it's always a nice boost for the team to see their efforts recognized. We strive to create a great experience for our users and always welcome feedback on how we can make further improvements. If you'd like to submit additional feedback or learn more about solving your issues with the Firestick, please reach out to our support team at support@screencloud.com

We are using this for digital signage in our school buildings. Daily updates and school spirit content are rotated on a playlist.
The interface and setup is generally pretty easy. We have several devices running ScreenCloud across multiple buildings and once it's set up, it just works.
The interface of the editor is a bit simplistic, and there aren't very many supported content layouts.

We are the most unique public media company in the country, having a school in our corporate headquarters that is by day the satellite campus for Hartford's Journalism & Media | Culinary Arts | High School Inc. High School and at night, veterans and adult learners. ScreenCloud enables us to display exemplary student work and engagingly message the students, professionals and visitors.
ScreenCloud is super easy to use throughout the process of creation, updating, uploading, posting and scheduling video, pictures and graphics.
There could be more native functionality, rather than relying on 3rd party apps that require a separate sign-in and fee.

ScreenCloud is easy to use and works well, but if you're looking for analytics, tech spec reports, quick customer service, affordability, and deep options for power/pro users, then its not the ticket. I won't recommend ScreenCloud for medium to large businesses that use multiple screens in multiple locations. This is made more for a very small business operating 1-5 screens with no need for deep options.
The simplicity of ScreenCloud is terrific and the web-based UI is well designed.
ScreenCloud is lacking depth in the user options and file permissions field, there are no analytics, and doesn't work well on the Android platform. For the price per screen, its not competitively priced for large deployments.

Screencloud support is extremely responsive when I had a question as well as an issue. The thing I like most about ScreenClodu is it just works. It is basically set it and forget it if that is the approach you want to take. It can also be as hands on as you want.
The ease of use of the product, and the ability to utilize with different mediums such as FireStick and Chromecast. I also like the ability to seamlessly add content to our library, the scheduling ability and the available apps. There are just so many good things about the solution.
I would like to see discounts for multiple screens.

It has worked beautifully in our context, and I am always recommending it to other churches/camps.
We use it for several teams at different sites and schedules. The flexibility to customize the content at different times is simple and I love that I can do this from anywhere (with internet).
Some extra customization to the schedule would be great. For example, when we have a weekend event, it'd be great to be able to create the schedule to turn on and back off for that event in advance. I think pricing for bulk screen would be great too. For example, we have 2 TV's that are always playing the same content in the same building, but in different areas. It'd be great to pay for 1 screen instead of 2 in that case.

I watched the webcast recording that our rep provided (I missed the live webcast). It was awesome. I am now recommending ScreenCloud as our digital signage option. It is so easy to use and has so much to offer compared to other services I have tested.
I was charged with evaluating different digital signage services. I found ScreenCloud to be the most cost-friendly flexible option. They offer unlimited FREE support, training and a wide range of apps to really customize our messages. I watched the training webcast done by our rep, who was very friendly, charming and informative. I have not yet implemented it but I have recommended it as our solution. Other services were bulky, some were outrageously priced and required expensive hardware, additional costs to develop or customize their "templates" or hidden costs for a lot of the apps. Support and training was not unlimited and/or free.
I do wish that it worked directly with Samsung Smart TVs without the TV sticks. It does with Android TV's OS but not the Samsung OS.

I use this software for the display screens on our K-12 campus. ScreenCloud is completely web-based so it's easy for me to access it at school, at home, or anywhere else, and update on the go. At the moment, you do need to be on a desktop/laptop to access the control panel, but once you have a playlist set up, sometimes it's just a matter of updating a Google document or slide, which can be done from...
It'd be really convenient to have a ScreenCloud app where I can create/edit playlists and content from my phone. I like the apps that ScreenCloud has provided in their content library. It'd be great if we could customize those apps to match our school colors.

Screen Cloud has made it simple to keep school announcements up to date and displaying interesting content about the school for visitors.
Screen Cloud is easy to use and very easy to train staff. Along with professional design features, it integrates with Google G Suite making it easy for the average employee to keep it current. Operation is seamless needing less IT support
Most of the content administration is easy to implement. For the more creative and technically inclined user, it can be difficult to create custom layouts for those who do not understand CSS. A solution would be a feature where users drag the borders of the regions.

We provide content directly to our patients. Before COVID this was stills and not much else. During COVID we began running video content to ease isolation. We run a lot of content now. We switched to ScreenCloud last year and our experience has been smooth and very worth the price. The software is not designed for being a video channel, and I would love to tweak it for our purposes. But it is much more flexible than our previous product and on the whole I am satisfied. Using ScreenCloud has dramatically improved our service to our patients.
It is easy to access and use, making daily changes. It is flexible and has gone way beyond basic signage.
Not every feature (e.g. scheduling) is available in every tier of production (i.e. "playlists" "channel" "screen").

As mentioned above, having locations across the U.S. and being in an industry where there is rarely a set schedule, ScreenCloud aids in our ability to inform and educate our team. From company updates to safety awareness campaigns, ScreenCloud offers us an effective and interactive digital signage platform.
ScreenCloud has proven to be an extremely effective tool at getting company messages and information out to our greater team. With multiple operations and varying team member schedules, it can be difficult to have everyone in one place at the same time. With ScreenCloud, I am easily able to create, update and post content that'll air at each operation. The platform allows for easy customization and immediate display with a click of the mouse.
There isn't much negative to say. My only true complaint is that the "Canva" content creation function can feel clunky at times. I hope to see further improvements and updates as time goes on. I also wish there was a better way to file my templates and slides in folders for easier navigation.

We have been with them for a few years and have watched them progress with updates. We like the service and appreciate their help when we have issues.
The ease of content management for multiple locations from one platform. Easily display different information depending on the office location.
We are testing Screencloud's OS device because of issues with Amazon's Fire Stick updates. If this works well, we will likely switch all of our screens to the OS device.

We're very pleased to be able to distribute digital signage to multiple locations, with little effort in terms of implementation, as well as eliminating the need for on-premise or LAN management.
Great support for most OS-types, low cost, versatile in terms of deployment, easy to use for users with basic IT knowledge. Cloud managed, only need local access to internet in able to manage a remote screen.
Required the use of a credit card, at the time of acquisition. Invoice would be better suited to our needs.

We now have the ability to get messages out to every employee. Screencloud has improved our communication between management and the staff.
My favorite part of Screencloud is how it stays connected using a Firestick. If the internet goes down for a minute, it reconnects when it's back up. I started with one screen at my location and corporate liked it so they expanded to 30 or so now.
We have not been able to get our in-house employee app to sync with Screencloud.
Hi Danny, Thanks a lot for your review. I'm glad to see ScreenCloud has been beneficial for you and your team. I'd love to introduce you to our Account Management team. They'll be able to help you find the best way to show your in-house employee app on your screens and also share tips on how to make the most of your ScreenCloud account. Let me know if you'd be interested and I'll make sure to reach out by email with more details. Thanks a lot, Markella

With locations across the country, this product helps us communicate with team members and makes us all feel more connected.
The most beneficial feature of ScreenCloud is the ability to create so many different screens and channels for our internal audience. We can customize the screens to fit each service area. The ability to add content and have it immediately load is a plus. The customer service team has been helpful and has gone out of their way to assist in making this a great tool.
I would like to have the ability to publish several playlists at the same time as well as a feature to create reports.

Marketing, and corona proofing our company. Signs and warnings, and necessary information on keeping people safe
Ease of use, anywhere, anytime. Apps functionality is good, some require extra payment though. You can throw anything at this content management platform and it will scale/display it.
No feature for synchronized playback on different screens/devices. Some apps require additional subscriptions/payment. No room for mistakes, if you add a screen (iPhone or iPad)by mistake or as a test Or demo, you will be invoiced immediately.

We have a high value of our lobby and venue screens running a loop of announcement slides before and after our services and events. With evening activities practically every day of the week, having the ability to remotely upload a slide and have the ability to program when that particular slide should be inactivated is crucial. With Screencloud, we're able to set that expiration date at the time of upload, and forget about it. Then it just disappears on that date/time without anyone having to remember. Screencloud has been a great help, and is now considered a member of our communications team!
Easy to set up and implement! The apps are well-designed, changes are visible instantly, and the quality is excellent. We have really benefited from being able to add slides and content from home or from a different campus, and the screens update immediately on site. The web portal is easy to understand and navigate for our team.
Support on various devices is more of a limit of the devices than the software. For example, we first tried Google Chromecast, and those kept going to sleep overnight, and we couldn't find a way to keep that from happening. Moved to Amazon Fire sticks and they work much better. Every now and then one of them goes to sleep, but for the most part we don't have to worry about that.

It's been really a smooth experience with Screencloud from deployment to manging content. We tried other screen services and ScreenCloud is far superior.
The best solution for in-store screens and advertising I have found for our business. Simple to deploy using Firesticks. It's simple to create and customize playlists for each screen, have expiration dates for time-specific information, and it serves up both images and videos, plus screencloud's own useful content too (e.g. weather forecast etc).
I have had some issues with Firesticks that have required replacing because of updates not being compatible with Screencloud. From time to time the app will require a little attention (re-boots, login etc), but most of the time these devices are reliably up and running 24/7.

Easy to use and portal. Highly flexible and reliable operation. Many Content plugins available for simple drag and drop content extensions. Turn any consumer display device into your own high quality digital display signage. Excellent web interface for management and scheduling. Value for money and great ROI
Would like more flexibity for admin / management from mobile devices. Additional portal roles for system admins so that they can delegate roles to power users for management of content and schedules.

I manage 8 screens for a restaurant/bar. The menus are constantly changing as they move on to new craft beers and wines. With ScreenCloud, I can manage all screens from home or on the go, change them when I need to and schedule how long I want it to show on the screens before changing to a screen with our specials or a screen showing what our live music will be this week. I can even change the screen on the fly when someone is celebrating a birthday to make them feel super special. The ease of use makes my job a lot more fun as I can focus more time on graphics and content rather than commuting to and from the restaurant 5 times a week to manually change the screens.
This program is easy to use and confirms to my busy lifestyle. I can change screens from home, while I am on the go or while I am looking at the screens.
I wish it were compatible with iPad. I can delete things through the browser on my iPad but cannot add content.
