"Very powerful and customizable"

4/5

What do you like best about Scala?

Metadata-driven smart playlists help create region- and context-specific playlists in different locations without having to program playlists individually. Setting expiry dates on content also ensures we never have expired product on display.

Also, the Designer suite makes our still images as content more engaging by adding subtle motion and text overlays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scala?

The annual maintenance agreements for the different components add up. Getting a quote for a new system has multiple convoluted licenses and line items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scala:

If you want complete ownership over your system and don't want to go the SaaS route for your signage, Scala checks pretty much every box in terms of capability and resilience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scala solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our signage system went from DVD player, to an open-source signage platform to Scala, which gave us a much lower-maintenance, more professional and flexible signage platform. Having realtime reports on the status of the players and logs make it easy to ensure uptime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SCALA Digital Signage"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Scala?

SCALA is a great content management system for our digital signage platform. It allows for tiered permission levels as well as ease of scheduling content. It also has many advanced features which allows your to provide highly customizable and integrated digital content to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The back end of SCALA is a little clunky to navigate. I think it could have a more modern look. I also think SCALA is a little hard to use if you have no software background due to the disorganized backend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
