We use it for everything from announcements about important topics like health insurance enrollment to fun things like birthdays, and it handles both ends and looks great. > > **Cons**: Some early initial issues related to slides not appearing or disappearing when scheduled, but was able to resolve after coordinating with Carousel's support team. Layout of admin portal could also be confusing. > > A high quality, extremely useful product with tons of features. Definitely willing to recommend to anyone looking for a signage product, especially when trying to improve company morale and cohesion. ----- ### "Good product overall but didn't work for our needs." — 3.0/5 > **Pete** | *11 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system had a quick response time, it was easy to account for overscan, and it notified when a player was down. > > **Cons**: It was difficult for teachers to use with the various zoning options, and it wouldn't properly power on the BrightSign players. > > After months of trying to get the product to work for us, in the end we cancelled the subscription as there were too many issues. ----- ### "Easy & Effective" — 5.0/5 > **Rachel** | *11 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Carousel is very easy to use. I love that I am able to upload content remotely at any time and then schedule the content. One less thing I have to worry about > > **Cons**: There isn't much, but maybe the compatibility, and having to purchase a BrightSign Device, which is expensive for us. > > So far, it has been great. If we have questions, support quickly answers them. The beginning process was great, just learning about the system and having a free trial. They even recommended a local shop for us to borrow BrightSign devices for the trial. ----- ### "Carousel is a fantastic product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Harry** | *6 May 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great media type support and ease of use. The minimalist setup with an Apple TV is fantastic. The user interface is easy to use, and the finished product looks great\! > > **Cons**: Can't use a username and password to access content that is not public. Keeps us from being able to point to certain content on an intranet, for example. > > From our previous no-solution setup, Carousel has been a fantastic product to work with and use. The feedback from our users has been positive. ----- ### "Carousel Digital Signage works well and is very easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Chad** | *2 July 2025* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: After reviewing about 7 content management systems for digital signage a few years ago, Carousel stood out on many levels. Ease of use: It's easy to drive after a short introduction. Enterprise needs: Role management, security, SSO, CAP emergency message integration, and more. Customer service and responsiveness: Carousel has an excellent and very responsive customer success team and their engineering group responds to service issues (there are few) feature requests in good fashion. The product is priced right for the market. > > **Cons**: Least is a difficult term. Carousel is not the "flashiest" product on the market. They began to add a number of new integrations in 2024 and have expanded their player options greatly after a period of time adjusting their service level options for client. Carousel is a measured company when it comes to their changes. We are looking forward to what they have in store in the future\! > > Wonderful\! Having spoken with many other users on the platform they all have similar feelings. It works, it works well and it is very intuitive for the end users. We have about 200 displays with about 50 users in the platform and there have been no complaints. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/211319/carousel?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/211319/carousel) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
