Yodeck

Avantages

l'installation sur un Raspberry est simple et prend peu de temps
la gestion reste simple et épurer

Inconvénients

il manque un menu de configuration étape par étape ce qui est dommage mais la prise en main ce fait facilement

Avantages

The ability to test out and try Yodeck for free was the major selling point. Other softwares were expensive to test out and couldn't be tested on hardware we already had.

Inconvénients

I wish the Windows installation was a little smoother. It is fairly clunky and has some bugs. It took contacting support about 3 times in order to get all of the Windows installation bugs worked through.

Pourquoi passer à Yodeck

Avantages

Comprehensive to our needs, without being overly-sophisticated to set up and maintain

Inconvénients

We wasted a lot of time before before discovering the product!!

Avantages

Very easy to use. We had a few extra Raspberry pi's laying around that we thought to use for dashboards. Took us literally less than 10 minutes getting everything up and running.

The most important feature for us was customization. Since we wanted to embed looker studio dashboards, then we needed custom JavaScript to trigger fullscreen and autoplay. Was easy to do with Yodeck.

Inconvénients

We did have some challenges around wifi connection. During our setup we experienced that saving in the interface and pushing it to the screen would wipe the wifi password. This was easily resolved once we narrowed it down to supply the password in the yodeck interface and not just through the config on the sd card. But it did take us some debugging hours to locate this issue.

Pourquoi passer à Yodeck

Avantages

We were currently using Google Chrome Sign Builder as our signage option for tvs throughout the building, but since Sign Builder is going to no longer be supported, it forced us to explore other options. We are glad it did. We are still able to incorporate a published Google Slide show, managed by students, but also other things such as video, websites, and other apps. There is a wide variety of options, and customizability. We couldn’t be happier with the ease of setup and maintenance.

Inconvénients

We wish the plans were more affordable for school districts. Most companies will give district’s a discount based on size or student population, or some educational rate. With our district cutting costs, it seems unlikely that we can purchase the number of units that we would need, because it forces us to purchase an annual subscription, which is way out of our current budget.

Avantages

I like how there are sooooo many apps that are integrated into Yodeck that I was able to just pick what I wanted and display. I was able to mix and match Google Slide's with an RTMP link and the Weather app and put into a playist and have it just rotate through. Awesome

Inconvénients

As of right now I have no complaints. It would freeze every now and then need a reboot but after setting up to have it reboot every morning on it's own, runs great and no more freezing.

Avantages

Perfect for sharing customized content across multiple departments.
Simple setup and intuitive design.
Extensive template library for quick content creation.
Fast and helpful customer support.

Inconvénients

Less compatible with our office monitors (Samsung Frame)

Pourquoi passer à Yodeck

Avantages

I love all the available apps that you can connect - plus one screen for free is a great deal

Inconvénients

I wish there was an option to add music throughout the entire playlist.

Almost like having background music

Avantages

Uptime, Haven't received a message of offline issues.
Easy to use REALLY easy with the onedrive folder, users just drop their images and it auto updates.

Inconvénients

Havent found any, in comparison with our older system.

Avantages

Easy to use and lots of options even for free
You can do things in advance to split screens and do integration with a lot of things

Inconvénients

You need technical knowledge to understand the environment

Avantages

The very easy and intuitive way of setting up the first monitor and creating content from a combination of documents, audio and video file types.

Inconvénients

The differences in app/file support on available players. The Yodeck player on Raspberry Pi platform is the ultimate player. This means that you have to buy this hardware to get the experience. The Windows and Android apps are free but have less functionality. I would prefer the same feature support on all platforms/Yodeck players. Maybe consider to charge a one-time fee for the player apps to enable developers to create the same feature support on all platforms.

Avantages

Simple! I think it's important to keep interfaces like this simple and it does it well. Everything is organized and streamlined in a way that makes the site easy to get a grasp of. Also has plenty of features!

Inconvénients

I'm not sure if I have any cons to note about Yodeck. It worked right away for me with issues, and I was able to start implementing it into my workplace.

Avantages

No Problem to Connect all Type of Screens
-> Many Ways to make a Display Yodeck ready
The layout editor is very easy to use and offers many options to customize the design.
One Screen is just for free
The Free Plan offers all features that I need

Inconvénients

Some features in the Layout Editor are missing...
-> Ability to group elements and move them together, or change the Size
-> Ability to rotate all elements. It is only possible with cliparts.

Avantages

the versatile nature of the product. There are templates and apps we can add.

Inconvénients

LG WebOS TV times out using the web version. could not find an TV ap to download. Sometimes the web browser memory gets full.

Avantages

The standalone player without connection is a real plus

Inconvénients

Not much to go back, but we could say that it doesn't yet support the raspberry pi 5

Avantages

Simple and easy to use and adapt. There is a free version to use with one screen with almost all feature available.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the web interface needs manual refreshing as some changes, labels etc. stuck on screen.

Avantages

Features and Player, I really like the customization options.

How challenging it is to find how to add items to the layout.

Avantages

Vast customisable features available, hardware agnostic and can integrate with existing hardware. Really easy to setup and start running as soon as you finish you design. Setup isnt long at all. Customer support has been great and responsive

Inconvénients

UI is slightly overwhelming to navigate in the beginning, but just need to get comfortable and familiar.

Avantages

Inconvénients

I really didn't have any problems. I liked yodeck from the start when I was doing testing on my own raspberry pi.

Avantages

Yodeck has all of the features you could ask for from your digital signage software. I have used several other providers in the past and prefer YoDeck to them all!

Inconvénients

For my needs, I've not found anything to dislike about YoDeck.

Since all our requirements are met, we cannot mention any negative points.
