Pourquoi passer à Yodeck

Avantages

It is easy to use. But you still have a lot of options to do with in the software. You can make almost anything you want with having a lot of experience. Also is the support great if you need help it is easy to contact.

Inconvénients

I would love it to have streamdeck (companion) support. For example I use one setup for audio in the warehouse. I have a schedule for the radio on working time. And a jingle with its break time. But when people work after working hours there is nu audio. And I would love the option that with the click of a button you can extend the time or start the radio for some time.

Avantages

The versatility of being able to control what is shown on displays is amazing. The dashboard is very easy to use and makes it simple for every task and scheduling content.

Inconvénients

There aren't any cons! It's honestly been a great experience and I wouldn't change anything.

Avantages

This is an incredible platform for our school signage. So easy to install and so quick to update. Functionality keeps improving and it is excellent value for money.

Inconvénients

Really not sure. There is very little not to like. The only thing possibly is I would like to know how to remove the accept cookies box from web pages that I display but that is probably my ignorance.

Avantages

Extremely easy interface. Very simple to schedule future events or news releases.

Inconvénients

I would like to see more Widgets or sports apps that display live scores. I know of other Yodeck users that would like to see the same.

Avantages

We were particularly impressed by the extensive selection of add-on apps available, which added significant versatility to the platform. We look forward to incorporating integrations with Microsoft 365 SharePoint, VivaEngage and Teams over the coming months to further streamline our office communications. Overall, Yodeck delivered an exceptional solution with top-notch customer support, making the switch a great decision.

Inconvénients

One aspect we liked least about Yodeck was the inability to adjust the default time for uploaded content. Currently, the default duration is set to 5 seconds, which was too short for our business needs. Unfortunately, there was no way to increase this on a global level, requiring us to manually adjust the timing for each piece of content.

Avantages

The ease of deployment is amazing! I have deployed almost a dozen of these throughout our facility.

Inconvénients

Flexibility to add outside Apps and executables. Not a huge deal but a "would be nice" type thing.

Avantages

I love how easy it is to get up and running and how many features it has. The support is also awesome! I have asked questions and have answers back in less than an hour. I have brought forward issues and again the Yodeck team has been fantastic at fixing them.

Inconvénients

I would love it if more of my team members could put together content, but that's not a Yodeck problem.

Avantages

I like the simplicity of the platform. I am a remote employee so being able to update 3 different Yodeck players in 3 different cities all from my computer is amazing.

Inconvénients

I did watch some tutorials on how to use the platform but mainly it was learning from trial and error. I wish there was more of an on-boarding or training platform that helped you learn and understand the platform before using it. I was mainly self taught.

Avantages

It is good to be able to use so many options such as links to internet, artwork, Powerpoint, photo's etc.

Inconvénients

The set up was much more difficult than it should have been. But I understand my situation was somehow unusual. It was also difficult to hear back from anyone for help in a timely manner. Due to the time difference in US, we sometimes have to wait overnight.

Avantages

- The generous free tier. One screen gets you access to every feature in Yodeck.
- Implementation is easy. You just need an inexpensive Raspberry Pi.
- Customer support (even on the free tier) is very helpful.
- There is an API which allows for integrations to control the screens if needed.

Inconvénients

- Public/open API is very limited and does not have great documentation at the moment.

Avantages

Great tool for promoting my restaurant! It works perfectly with the right devices, and updating the content is super easy and practical.

Inconvénients

Setting it up is a bit tricky at first since you have to read a lot to understand how it works. But once you do, it’s super easy. I didn’t know I needed to buy a device, but it’s definitely worth it.

Avantages

Sehr gut zu bedienen. Dauerhaft kostenlose Version für 1 Player super!!

Inconvénients

Tutorials auf deutsch wären Klasse. Wenn ich mal Zeit finde mach ich vielleicht welche 😉.

Avantages

I’ve been using Yodeck for a year now, and I couldn’t be more impressed with its performance and ease of use. The platform is incredibly intuitive, making it simple to manage and update content on multiple screens. The drag-and-drop editor is a standout feature—designing custom displays and scheduling content has never been easier!

Inconvénients

Limited Customization: While the platform is flexible, advanced users might find the templates a bit limited in terms of customization options.

Avantages

Easy and flexible to use. Made to be used for information screens in businesses like us.

Inconvénients

There is nothing we dislike about Yodeck.

Avantages

Yodeck has been instrumental in our efforts towards employee engagement and a valuable tool while communicating important information to a +1000 workforce in remote locations.

Inconvénients

I can't think of anything I don't like. Yodeck is versatile, intuitive, easy to use. I absolutely love working daily on it.

Avantages

What I liked most about Yodeck is its user-friendly interface and easy setup process. The cloud-based platform allows for seamless remote management of digital signage across multiple locations. It’s packed with features that cater to a variety of business needs, and the drag-and-drop editor makes content creation fast and intuitive. Plus, the scheduling feature is fantastic, ensuring that the right content plays at the right time without constant manual updates.

Inconvénients

It can require a bit of a learning curve for advanced features, especially for users who are not familiar with digital signage systems, but help was always offered by support team.

I maybe would want some other integrations like OneNote, but I can live without it.

Avantages

Simple web interface options allow me to deploy on equipment I already have, in addition they have several solutions available to purchase.

Inconvénients

Haven't utilized a large number of signs to test that yet.

Avantages

I like the versatility of Apps and devices that can be integrated / used with Yodeck. We can use decomissioned thin clients to get a new live as an output device for signage displays at our company. Native integrations to things like Grafana or Calendars make it easier to build layouts than embedding web pages.

Customer support (we only had to resort to them once) is helpful. We did not need to reach out more often because their documentation is detailed.

Inconvénients

The initial installation on a Linux desktop OS with Chrome was a bit hard because the provided PWA could not be automatically booted in full screen. This could only be resolved with support because it was unclear for us on how to do.

Avantages

It is easy to upload photo's. I have been using it for about 8 months now and have created several play list. I like that you can upload or drag photos.

Inconvénients

Took a little while to self train how to use.

Avantages

Ease of use and customization. The ability to showcase many different forms of media to create a great and eyepopping presentation.

Inconvénients

Wish there was a way to add text to the countdown and not when the countdown is finished but the whole time to describe what the countdown is.

Avantages

The user interface is very intuitive and easy to use. It is also easy to train others.
I specifically liked how easy it was to generate a layout that included an active, transparent clock. I also liked how easy and fast it was to expand the number of screens I was displaying to.

Inconvénients

I do not have any complaints about the system itself other than as an American user, the dates and expirations are set to a Day, Month, Year rather than the American Month, Day, Year. The only other issue is to expire at a specific time of day, it is hard to identify AM/PM

Avantages

The setup was way easy; well build dashboard and navigations; drag and drop files and videos. I can run it on many different platform and manage it all from a single pain of glass; even for multiple locations. I used my old Raspberry pi and had it running in no time

Inconvénients

Had a small difficulty figuring out the schedule task and downtime.

Avantages

The best feature of Yodeck is its user friendly interface and navigation.

Inconvénients

The initial setup of the Yodeck player was troublesome. - Documentation definetly helped resolve issues.

Avantages

Ease of use, responsive customer service.

Inconvénients

It can take a few hours to get a response to inquiries sometimes.

Avantages

Very versatile and dynamic, usage is straightforward once you learn how to manage screens and schedules to your own liking. UX is very user friendly, and compatible with multiple/separate business units.

Inconvénients

None. Product exceeds expectations, maybe make "knowledge hub" button bigger/more accessible to encourage users to continually learn what are the optimal ways to navigate Yodeck.

Avantages

This is such an amazing service, they give you the first screen with your own hardware for free. This alone is such a step above other services I have seen. This allows you the freedom to create and completely manage the entire system to your liking without having to pay first to get it set up. You then can purchase any additional screens you want by either utilizing your own hardware with a discount for the first year or by getting free hardware per additional screen.

Inconvénients

I have been working with Yodeck for a bit now and have not found anything that I dislike about the service or platform.

Avantages

Yodeck was extremally easy to use and setup in a matter of minutes, one thing that was really useful was when we ordered extra raspberry pi's the Yodeck team had automatically registered them to our account so we can get started with them straight away. We had given access to Yodeck for our Marketing department who required very minimal training on how to use it. This solution has allowed our business to advertise ourselves and make announcements throughout our buildings so our employees and visitors always know what's going on.

Inconvénients

I haven't actually found a fault with this system so far.

Avantages

Userfriendly interface, easyness to deploy devices

Inconvénients

The only issue we have it isn't possible to stack images on top of a playlist (eg. company logo, a qr-code,...). Now you have to add them to the images in the playlist.

Avantages

I appreciate how user friendly the entire platform works. I am pretty technical when it comes to my work, but being able to show some end users how this works so that they can manage it themselves has made management of our digital signage a total breeze.

Inconvénients

I have used the player on multiple devices, and sometimes the app will require a restart after a crash (amazon firestick device) or ask if I am still viewing static content (which 100%) of the time I am still viewing.

Avantages

It's easy to use and has many templates.

Inconvénients

I haven't found anything to dislike yet; it works fine.

Avantages

It's a very user-friendly tool that helps us to present all kind of campaigns to our employees. I always use if for safety campagnes. It's super easy to present presentations or videos.

Inconvénients

the pre supplied apps are not always what you hope them to do. For example the Google maps traffic update is not working fine. But I like the use Yodeck mainly for presenting information created by ourselves.

Avantages

One-stop location to be able to design and program multiple displays in different locations.

Inconvénients

A few more tutorials for the lesser computer savvy people would be good.

Avantages

The Yodeck platform has streamlined our company's digital signage creation and management. The content upload and playlist creation and deployment is easy to use, making digital signage management and updates very efficient. The customer support team is quick and knowledgeable when I reach out for platform support.

Inconvénients

I really have no issue with Yodeck. Wish we would have switched to them sooner.

Avantages

Really easy setup - ready to go out of the box.

Inconvénients

Subscriptions are a little confusing, not sure whether I need to purchase a subscription or a player.

Pourquoi passer à Yodeck

Avantages

I like how easy it is to use and how professional our digital signage looks

Inconvénients

sometimes the scheduling feature can be clunky and there are alot of "clicks" I would also like the option to add a screen to my custom media that displays the current: time and weather/outside temperature

Avantages

I love the simplicity of the publishing dashboard. You can literally work the user dashboard from concept to publishing within a couple of minutes in so many cases. I also love that updates can be done from my phone to prepare welcomes for arriving board members, surprise parties for employees who are celebrating high-year milestone service anniversaries, and even put up QR codes for pulse surveys that we need our employees to engage with immediately. Yodeck alsoo allows us to prioritize messages. It also allows us to toggle with how long we want a piece of content to appear on screen compared to another piece which can enable our employees with as much time as they need to receive the message. Multi-Location feature gives a level of detail that I didn’t even know I needed until it was presented to me. Some locations within our footprint don’t need to see certain messages, and this functionality allows us to skip publishing to their location’s device. Being able to customize what content you want to appear on screen is one thing, but the option to run a news banner, weather forecast, and the local time in the corner is icing on the cake. It makes for a dynamic experience, drawing eyes to the screen and creating an interesting and refreshing experience for our employees every time. Finally, sheduling is extremely helpful for initiatives, events and activities that are bound by a window of time, and also convenient for me because I don’t have to physically go back into Yodeck and remove the content myself. It helps ensure messages to our employees don’t get stale.

Inconvénients

Doesn’t include integrations into Microsoft 365 that we want our seamless employees to see or have access to. Also, does not use locations to auto-translate messages.

Avantages

Easy to use, great layout options. fast upload, user friendly

Inconvénients

tricky to use audio, hard to find streaming links that work

Avantages

Cost of entry for our clients is amazing.

Inconvénients

MFA not being part of the basic package.

Avantages

Easy to use, inexpensive and well suited to the task!

Inconvénients

Would love an iOS app to make updating from our iPads/iPhones easier.

Avantages

We like the ease of uploading content and pushing it out to our digital signage. Being able to review the content online prior to pushing it out is a plus. I also like that I'm notified when one of my displays has lost connection. We use it every day.

Inconvénients

When slides change, there's a circle that pops up as the content loads. It'd be nice if there was a way the content could preload so it didn't have to process it every time.

Avantages

Yodeck is a super complete platform, without bureaucracy, fast and agile in player configurations

Inconvénients

At times, there is a delay in responding to some interactive player commands, such as shutdown, restart and screen print

Avantages

Yodeck is super easy to deploy and get set up from day one. Their customer support is amazing and helps you get any problem solved in a short amount of time. They support various devices for maximum flexibility in our organization.

Inconvénients

The media/layout editor can be annoying, and while it is user friendly, it is a bit too simple and you are better off using a PowerPoint or image slideshow for most use cases.

Avantages

User Experience is good, easy to understand and follow. I was set up in minutes.

Inconvénients

Availability on more platforms and control. I am set up on a fire tv and the tv shuts off every two hours.

Avantages

Its super easy to set up and the UI is absolutely excellent.

Inconvénients

Nothing. There's honestly no drawback to Yodeck that comes to mind.

Avantages

It's simple and versatile to upload and play various forms of content.

Inconvénients

Some of the more advanced content sources such as SharePoint and Teams do not always work reliably or as expected.
