What do you like best about REACH Media Network?

So easy to add media and creative options. Very easy to rearrange media on the playlists. Our residents love all the notices and information up on the bulletin boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about REACH Media Network?

The only downside is that it's a little hard to work with using my iPad if I'm in a pinch and don't have my laptop. Some of the tutorials are too long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tristan Helleen of REACH Media Network

Thank you so much for the review! We're so glad to hear REACH has made it easy to keep your residents informed and that they're engaging with the content while they wait by the elevators. It's also great to hear you're saving time and cutting back on paper notices.

We appreciate your feedback about using REACH on an iPad and the tutorial length. That's helpful insight, and we'll be sure to share it with our team. Thanks again, and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out!

What do you like best about REACH Media Network?

I use REACH Media Network to display menus and marketing to our clients and guests. It works well pulling data from our existing systems, allowing local programming for displays. It's great that REACH can pull from our nutritional menu recipe site and display that information to our guests. The initial setup of REACH was very easy, as they took care of everything. Initially, it seemed hard to use, but after working with our account representative, I now feel confident in using and customizing the system for our operation.

What do you dislike about REACH Media Network?

The system seemed hard to use until working with our account rep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reach Is The Best"
5/5
What do you like best about REACH Media Network?

I am able to easily make changes as we have multiple devices. I can easily upload media and make changes with no hassles. We have had no issues with it. Teaching people how to use it is very easy and makes it that much more of a valuable tool. Set-up is very easy. If I have any questions customer support is great and they respond fast.

What do you like best about REACH Media Network?

I love the storage capacity of REACH Media Network, which is amazing for me as a media director because I use a lot of high-resolution photos and moving imagery, which take up a lot of space. I have the room I need to share all my content without any issues. I also like that I can control the televisions and make communication specific to whichever location needs it. It's great for managing events at just one location without needing to publish across all monitors. Additionally, setting up REACH Media Network was pretty easy for us. Our IT person worked with the help desk, and the liaison was super accessible, helping us with any questions we had. The setup process was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about REACH Media Network?

I'm not sure if this is a REACH issue or if this is internal, but sometimes it feels like it's laggy. So it might be only as good as the WiFi bandwidth that you have at wherever you're using it. But other than that, it's a 10 out of 10. I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tristan Helleen of REACH Media Network

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience and feedback, Akai, we truly appreciate it! We’re so glad to hear your setup process was seamless and that the software is supporting you well in your role as Media Director. That’s exactly what we aim for.

If the players continue to feel laggy, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our Support Team would be happy to dig in and troubleshoot to see what might be causing that. You can email us at support@reachmedianetwork.com, call 952-944-7727 (Option 4), or connect directly with your Account Manager.

5/5
What do you like best about REACH Media Network?

What do you dislike about REACH Media Network?

We had purchased and described because of the integration with Canva. Now that it's gone, we cannot be as efficient as before. Get Canva integration back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Display Management, But Interface Needs Smoother Navigation"
4/5
What do you like best about REACH Media Network?

I like the ability to manage a large network of displays, I like the ease of uploading assets and customize individual screens if needed. I like the output of and the options available to tailor the templates for display. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about REACH Media Network?

The interface is a little buggy still. I have run into screens that won't let me back out of or move forward in if I don't do everything a certain way. I often have to exit out the interface log back in when that happens. I think some features just aren't intuitive enough to know how to use them, it would be nice if a help feature could be accessed on certain features, I think sometimes some of the features feel like they are not clearly separated enough for a newer user to understand what is what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tristan Helleen of REACH Media Network

Thanks so much for your feedback! We love hearing that managing your large signage network and keeping content fresh on your screens has been going well.

We also appreciate your note about the interface; that’s great insight. Our team has recently started migrating clients to CMS 2.0, which offers smoother workflows, a more intuitive interface, in-app and self-guided training options, and plenty of new features and capabilities. Of course, our team is always happy to jump on a live training call anytime, too!

Your Account Manager will reach out to walk you through CMS 2.0 and see if it might be a good fit for your team. There’s absolutely no rush; we’ll move at your pace when the timing is right.

Thanks again for sharing your experience and for being part of the REACH family!

"Effortless Communication with Stellar Support"
5/5
What do you like best about REACH Media Network?

I find REACH Media Network incredibly easy to use, which is vital for efficiently managing employee announcements such as promotions and company events. It allows us to communicate with a large number of employees who may not have access to their email, reaching those in the warehouse and production floor directly. What stands out the most is the excellent customer service. Whenever I have a question or face challenges, especially when trying to add images, the customer service representatives are consistently helpful and friendly. Their support makes using the platform even more rewarding, and it inspires a lot of confidence in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
