## Overview

### Key benefits of Scala

\-  Benefit from 24/7 playback with the Scala content player, even during network interruptions or system updates. The player also downloads individual changes as they are made, rather than the entire playlist.&#10;&#10;- Target specific user segments, or even individual customers, and edit content based on real-time external events such as weather, traffic, customer gender, and more.&#10;&#10;- Create dynamic playlists (and sub-playlists) using scripts, messages, videos, flash or static images and manage the playlist from anywhere. Set user permissions so that only selected staff can make changes to the playlist.&#10;&#10;- Use the Scala designer tool to create dynamic content, combine text, graphics, sound, and video, add transitions, plan layout, create content in any language, create templates and publish.&#10;&#10;- Track player health log and log events for advertisement billing or reporting thanks to data communication between the player and content manager.

## Reviews

### "Scala reviews 2022" — 5.0/5

> **jason** | *28 July 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Scala is a best fit for programming aspirants if you ask me. Unlike other popular programming tools, It is suitable for  functional programming since it's object-oriented and also provides a huge library of useful components.I like its simplicity, ease of use and affordability. &#10;&#10;Anyone with any experience-level can use Scala and there are several learning resources included with the app.
> 
> **Cons**: Poor support services. It takes almost an eternity before you get help on discord. I don't enjoy it.
> 
> Provides optimum programming facilities and best for static programmers.

### "I generate more refined projects." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 May 2024* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is a programming language that I enjoy using in specific projects at Google. What I like most about Scala is its combination of functional and object-oriented programming paradigms, which allows me to write code more concisely and primarily expressively.
> 
> **Cons**: Scala is especially useless in projects that involve high concurrency, processing large volumes of data, or building distributed systems - areas that Google often works on but is not fit for purpose.
> 
> A not so good experience due to what was previously mentioned about large volumes of work, it is a shame because it outlines very sophisticated projects that you must work on one by one.

### "Scala can be a great platform depending on your use case." — 3.0/5

> **Patrick** | *27 June 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: The Scala platform (Designer, Content Manager, Player) provides a great deal of out-of-box functionality for a variety of uses.  Its main pros are flexibility, user interface, and scalability. Scala Designer gets you started quickly with creating and publishing content with support for many file types and a large library of built in transitions and clip art. Content manager allows you to easily organize and create advanced frame sets for playback. This flexibility makes Scala great for a variety of applications such as large video walls, menu boards, or standalone displays.  Another pro of Scala (Content Manager) is its user interface. It is divided into logical sections making it easy to navigate and make changes, however, you will become best friends with your mouse as there is a lot of clicking involved (see cons). Lastly, the scalability of the software makes it ideal for small or large deployments. Adding additional players is seamless allowing you to expand your network with little effort.
> 
> **Cons**: Make sure you have a solid use case and understand what Scala can do out of the box and what you will need to develop to achieve your desired functionality. Scala provides functionality that can serve a variety of use cases, however, some will require more work than others. Basic video walls and simple signage (1 media item to the next) are well suited for Scala out of the box. However, more advanced playback behaviors (think if this then that kind of behavior) will certainly require custom script development which can be a challenge as ScalaScript is nowhere near as universal as developing in other languages. As mentioned in the pros, Scala Content Manager provides a logical user interface, however, nearly every setting requires and enormous number of mouse clicks to get things done.

### "Normal user review" — 5.0/5

> **Taher** | *17 October 2023* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Content Manager feature Designer featurePlaybaack of the player can run for 30 days if the network switched off with the same content.
> 
> **Cons**: Cost is high and some client go with cheaper cloud systems
> 
> I love it and I used it for more than 12 years

### "Powerful Digital Signage Platform" — 5.0/5

> **Gavin** | *11 November 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We have used Scala for 13+ years now, it's probably the most proficient Digital Signage platform available, allowing you to create everything from simple displays showing screens to fully interactive displays, triggering from external sources, rateboards, flight boards, etc. &#10;The customer facing UI is excellent and allows simple building and scheduling of playlists and displays.
> 
> **Cons**: The power of Scala means that it's not easy to just pick up, for most of the complex stuff I would always advise getting the experts in to help you build and implement the project.

With solutions for any industry type, and fully customizable digital signage, Scala allows users to communicate their message, from multiple outlets, to both employees and customers from one central location.\n\nScala solutions allow users to create audience engagement experiences with the Scala designer tool by using one of the many in-built templates, and connect a network of digital signs, kiosks, websites, mobile devices, or any internet connected device. The content manager facilitates the planning and continuous management of content through pre-planned playlists which can adapt to trends and even target specific customers. For added customization, businesses can also set up role-based permissions to provide certain employees with access to the data presented on the screen, and edit the playlists depending on real-time information from sources such as news, weather, and traffic. \n\nWith Scala’s various digital signage possibilities including interactive fitting rooms, digital menu boards, kiosk services, wayfinding, digital advertising, and in-store targeting, users can communicate messages to their customers in an interactive way. For retail businesses, interactive marketing and tailored targeting can help increase sales and brand awareness, whilst quick service restaurants can benefit from Scala’s queue management tools and menu display screens.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/b4f0cee4-55f1-4b22-8030-c126c1f9de3c.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/108971/scala-enterprise","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/108971/scala-enterprise#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.4,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":14},"offers":{"price":"200","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Windows"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Digital Signage Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/728/digital-signage/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Scala","position":3,"item":"/software/108971/scala-enterprise","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/108971/scala-enterprise#breadcrumblist"}]}
