We wanted one video to play on a loop and there were a lot of features we don't take advantage of. Not necessarily a bad thing! **What problems is BrightSign solving and how is that benefiting you?** Consistient and reliable digital signage that is highly customizable to the needs of our store. ### 2. very reliable hardware **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** indushan A. | AV tech, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2025 **What do you like best about BrightSign?** Very reliable hardware. Works smoth and easy to troubleshoot. **What do you dislike about BrightSign?** Not intergrated with many applications, and need more configurations to integrate applications. **What problems is BrightSign solving and how is that benefiting you?** It solves reliablity issues, and content managment. ### 3. Series 5 - Don't work, Don't Purchase **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rhonda M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2023 **What do you like best about BrightSign?** Series 4 work great. Not sure what they did with Series 5. **What do you dislike about BrightSign?** I've been using BrightSign for almost 2 years. Recently, I purchased 7 series 5's because 4's are no longer available. They haven't worked since I installed them. Randomly throughout the day, they reboot over and over by themselves or will completely lockup. I have to go into BSN.Cloud to reboot them. Every morning since they've been installed, I reboot them several times a day. I've been working with BrightSign support for over a month. Absolutely worthless. I feel like I've been extremely patient, but that is coming to an end. **What problems is BrightSign solving and how is that benefiting you?** Constant rebooting and locking up. ### 4. The Best Digital Signage Hardware **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civic & Social Organization | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2022 **What do you like best about BrightSign?** What I like best is that BrightSign is completely reliable. You set it up and it runs flawlessly without ever having to reboot it and with no errors. The software it comes with is intuitive and can be configured to display images, videos, live feeds etc. **What do you dislike about BrightSign?** You need to remember to purchase a microSD card separately to store the programming in the unit. Get a large card if you plan on having long videos in high resolution. **What problems is BrightSign solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have an information screen at the entrance to the building and using the BrightSign is so much better than having a desktop computer connected to it. It's easy to update and guests like it. ### 5. Large scale implementation **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rebecca M. | Web and Social Media Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2020 **What do you like best about BrightSign?** It's great to be able to update signage from anywhere as long as I have the software installed on my laptop **What do you dislike about BrightSign?** The last update to the software changed a number of features and caused some issues for us. We also find that syncing becomes as issue more frequently now. **Recommendations to others considering BrightSign:** Have a strong internet connection. Go through training (if it is provided) and double check your work **What problems is BrightSign solving and how is that benefiting you?** We implemented digital signage across our organization - 4 campuses in 2 different cities.

Solid, commercial-ready display solution **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gordon W H. | Digital Project Manager, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2019 **What do you like best about BrightSign?** BrightSign players and technology are and easy way to solve a complex problem of integrating and displaying information from multiple sources using a single platform. **What do you dislike about BrightSign?** While the product is very mature, there are still a number of areas which can be improved. The initial hardware investment can be a hard to buy-in from when comparable hardware is available to the general public. **Recommendations to others considering BrightSign:** Make sure to consider the amount of integration and development time needed to develop the digital assets. Keep in mind there are other standards (like ADA/Accessibility) for displays which will be placed in public areas. **What problems is BrightSign solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have primarily deployed the BrightSign displays and players to show scheduling information and advertising at a number of our locations. Being in the hospitality industry, we have a good number of people that are looking for information on where to go for their event and BrightSign is an easy way to do that. Increased customer satisfaction along with increased efficiency for administrators as they only need to manage a single source of information. ### 7.
