Its bare-bones but that means it runs well on lower specced hardware and does exactly what it says it will. ----- ### "Excellent Sign Software for Techy People" — 4.0/5 > **Dakota** | *1 October 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: You get professional signage without enterprise pricing. The screen management interface is actually flexible and lets me schedule content across several of my tv displays. Setup was refreshingly straightforward for someone with basic tech skills. Reliability has been solid; our screens run 12+ hours daily without hiccups. Customer support responds quickly and actually understands the technical questions. The customization options let me match our brand perfectly, and I appreciate being able to use custom HTML when needed. > > **Cons**: Some of the advanced features have a learning curve that feels steeper than necessary like the UI could be more intuitive for complex multi-zone layouts. Documentation is sometimes sparse especially with edge cases or newer features, so I've had to figure things out through trial and error. Encountered minor bugs when using unusual media formats (webp images, certain video codecs), though common formats work flawlessly. The analytics dashboard exists but feels basic. > > piSignage actually makes sense for smaller operations if you have a bit of technical ability. It's given us the polish of a much larger company without requiring a dedicated IT person to manage it. That said, there's room for growth in areas where analytics would help me optimize strategy. Overall, it's a good solid investment that's paid for itself in keeping customers engaged while they're waiting in line. ----- ### "Easy enough solution to implement, advanced capability limited" — 3.0/5 > **Jason** | *11 August 2025* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy enough to setup and get installed and the basics of it appeared to work. Uploading media and having it update was quick and responsive > > **Cons**: I could not get the internal URL to function and it would not connect to a hidden SSID network. The product was also not capable of displaying PowerPoint content directly and required a conversion, minor inconvenience. > > The basics of it appeared to work but some of my use cases I could never get functioning which led me to another vendor. ----- ### "Good software with a small but fine range of functions" — 4.0/5 > **Lenn** | *15 October 2024* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy setup with Web browser and intuitive dashboard for managing the content. There are also lots of media types that you can upload very easily do display on your screen. > > **Cons**: The dashboards seems to be a little bit too simple. Some functions like external apps are missing. ----- ### "Simplistic" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *1 August 2019* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to setup and configure. There are many different media formats that can be pushed to the devices. The image that is already configured for the Pi works great and almost requires no configuration. > > **Cons**: We have our Pi cluster in a separate server room which uses hdmi encoders to to the TV's. Dashboards are displayed and sometimes require login and it would be nice for some way to natively log into the devices other than vnc to use keyboard and mouse. > > It took a couple of days to learn the system and get things up and going but since then it has run without issue with no errors. The licensing structure is also very reasonable for what you get. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/451643/piSignage?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/451643/piSignage) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
