Content and user management via Tags. > > **Cons**: Media content per Zone can be a little frustrating. Being able to access a global Media resource would be helpful and avoid a significant amount of duplication. > > Excellent. Support is always very helpful, the online sessions have been great and bringing new team members up to speed is very easy. ----- ### "Easy to learn. Powerful, simple tools." — 4.0/5 > **Dave** | *20 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use for device and content management. User-friendly interface makes training users less daunting. Customer support is very responsive and willing to work with other vendors when issues arise. > > **Cons**: Certain more dynamic features seem not ready for prime time, such as interactive bulletins. Ability to preview dynamic content within Carousel could be stronger. ----- ### "One Platform. Unlimited Screens. Seamless Control." — 5.0/5 > **Helen** | *12 May 2026* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent customer support. Remote management of multiple channels and locations. Dependable and reliable system, with minor issues since implementation circa 2018. Best bang for the buck. > > **Cons**: The initial setup was challenging and difficult to implement without Carousel support. The bulletin layout tool is cumbersome, slow, and time-consuming, resulting in below-average outcomes. It is much easier to create content on other platforms and convert it to raster format for upload. > > Understanding the configuration and system terminology took time to fully utilize the system's potential. However, tutorials, workshops, and support were essential for user adoption throughout the organization. Dashboard management is simple as long as the channels are properly tagged. I found Carousel's support invaluable in setting up and implementing the Digital Signage system across more than 30 facilities throughout the USA. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/211319/carousel?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
