KioWare is a cloud-based kiosk solution designed to help small to large businesses manage device security and convert Android or Windows-based devices into self-service kiosks. KioWare enables users to define and control server-console access, and internet, or application restrictions.

VP Educational Development 

I like the ease of it for what we are using it for, which is a clock in/out for our staff in multiple locations. Easy to install and manage, also great support.

Curator

The hardware is definitely a problem. I'm not sure how much the problems come from our developers or the software.

Tecnico de Seguridad Industrial

The best thing is that you can use it on your mobile phone using Android. Easy to operate and ideal to protect your documents and desk.

Lecturer

This is an excellent solution for Kiosk creation and management on Windows.

AV systems Tech

The set up is straightforward and can be as detailed as you want. It is also a great tool to control what websites can be visited on a public computer.

The support team is off-the-charts awesome. I configured and installed our three kiosks (and two users) myself.

Senior Embedded Engineer

It helped implement HR solutions highly convenient. I recommended it at our workplace and the features it support are large.

Ease of use and ability to add videos and slides to sleep mode.

Web Developer

Easy to setup and configure, Customer Support is top notch.

Video and Digital Media Technologist

The setup was a bit confusing at times, mostly using terms/phrases that I wasn't familiar with (being new to kiosks in general didn't help).

IT - Systems Analyst

I think the only thing that was a bit disappointing would be a lack of mixed-mode attract screens. It'd be nice to be able to pull up either web pages, videos, or images.

The setup and configuration. The online manual is tough to negotiate.

I was tasked with getting some tablets ready to act as the time clock kiosks for the new payroll system we were implementing. After some web searching the name KioWare kept popping up so I checked it out. The software was easy to set up, easy to manage, and has worked flawlessly. Needless to say payroll and HR were very pleased as the launch of our new system went very smoothly. I'll definitely come to KioWare again in the future if I get put on a project that requires a kiosk.

Needed a fast, easy-to-use solution for our employee timeclock system

We use it for sign-in when guests visit our office. It presents a web form and does not allow access to any other sites, so by using our web form patrons are signed in easily with little to no intervention from us. We also use the "attract screen" feature to send an uninterruptible slideshow to a nearby monitor on the wall sharing news about our office.

The KioWare Team


The support team is off-the-charts awesome.  I configured and installed our three kiosks (and two users) myself.   It was not easy, and complicated by the online manual.  I needed to interact with their support folks about six times.  In every instance, my call was handled promptly, and I got the answers I needed quickly.   They were able to login to my screen when needed and see exactly what was whacked.   Absolutely top notch tech support.

KioWare Kiosks on our Retail Sales Floors

Thanks for your feedback! We are working on improving the online manual (our user guides).  Email support@kioware.com with any specifics about what you find most in need of improvement or ideas for simplifying the setup experience.   

I used the PC software for a touch screen information kiosk based from our website. I used the android version to lockdown a tablet browser based time clock punch in solution.  Both were effective, andriod did crash more than I would like.

Great for a lockdown browser with enough extra features to create a full kiosk. 

We use this for multiple kiosk check ins, easy setup and great support. 

Great Product, support and bang for the buck

The goal of the project we were working on was to set up a series of tablets in a locked kiosk mode, in which the users could log in and out of them on a website with no cached or saved data between sessions, which this software did perfectly. 
Setting up the basic settings was straightforward, but trying to remotely deploy the software had a series of small hiccups, but it was all a series of settings we were overlooking on our part to do so.

KioWare for Kiosk-Mode across multiple users.

This product has solved the problem of allowing the public access to a computer terminal with out the fear that someone could change settings to the computer or navigate to harmful sites. 

Useful for exhibits or displays

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. Your feedback is much appreciated!

KioWare Kiosk Samsung Galaxy View Tablet

We have several kiosks in our museum running kioware for visitors to use. The hardware is definitely a problem. I'm not sure how much the problems come from our developers or the software.

Disappointed with this system

We would love to help you determine which issues are software related! Please contact support@kioware.com with the issues you are seeing and, perhaps, send over your configuration file for us to review? Sometimes hardware can cause an issue, and if you send over the specs of the hardware, we can provide you with our thoughts on the weakest part of the system. Thank you for your feedback!
