The interface is user-friendly and easy to grasp. It also works well with a lot of media players that we currently use. > > **Cons**: Organizing assets should be improved because it can be cluttered over time. We're also looking for more integrations so that we can directly deploy materials imported to the software itself without having to use other third-party apps. > > Carousel Digital Signage helps us manage content from a single dashboard and deploy it across different types of media players. It definitely lessens our time whenever we want to change displays. It's also easy to use and onboarding time is fast. ----- ### "Carousel is Perfect for Managing Large Organizations" — 4.0/5 > **Luke** | *10 July 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It made it easy to produce, distribute, and manage content to 25 different buildings and give them a similar and easy experience > > **Cons**: The rigidness of their templates are and how unfriendly it is to be creative with the stock they give you. > > Overall good, Implementaion went well, training was easy. Some of the staff were a little too pushy and ungenuine and the critical feature upgrades did not come until 3 + years later ... but I would not say that had hindered the quality of product but rather reflects the organization. ----- ### "What goes around comes in carousel" — 5.0/5 > **Wanita** | *6 January 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ease of use, its easy to understand and has so much good value items > > **Cons**: Its not as good as some apps in its category > > Im pleased with carousel, its got a lot to look at ----- ### "Carousel High School Implementation" — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *28 January 2021* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is easy to deploy and generally easy to administrate for someone who is familiar with other similar school technology system. I was also easy to additional content contributors and the training for them can be made quite minimal. I think the Carousel is priced about right for the features and capabilities it offers. > > **Cons**: Use of AppleTV creates some frustrating limitation, which are mostly in part to the limitations or restrictions of the AppleTV (e.g. not including a web browser, YouTube videos don't work). The diversity or general lacking when it comes to dynamic content choices is disappointing. It would be nice if there were more widgets/apps that you could utilize and configure (e.g. a single weather display option). > > We are generally pleased with our Carousel experience to this point. If there is one complaint, it would be that our initial support in on-boarding has been disappointing. I have no idea why there is a 60-day cap on access to learning academy resources. It seems like you would want customers to get the most possible out of the system to increase their ROI. Having the 60-days begin right as you enter your contract means a good number of those day are likely wasted anyway. We didn't even get the custom channel released to us until about day 15 of that period. Also, it has been almost impossible to talk with someone in person when we have requested it. In one instance, I exchanged a dozen emails with someone after initially and repeatedly asking early if we could talk to someone in person. It took far more time to email communications to try and resolve the issue than it would have to just talk with someone briefly. I have plenty of experience in this area to know that some companies simply cannot provide phone support as a practice, but for the annual cost of the system this should be a support service. ----- ### "BTPS Review" — 5.0/5 > **Derek** | *17 February 2021* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. It is very easy to take a photo or video and get it uploaded and running on the system. > > **Cons**: I wish it would integrate with the web better. Display webpages better, youtube support. > > Really easy web based management keeps things simple. I don't need any special on the users end to have them edit channels. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2047767/carousel?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2047767/carousel) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
