Brief explanations and comparisons:
Traditional signage is a public and commercial billboard or screen that does not have the possibility of being personalized. It is also referred to as static signage because the content displayed is always limited to static formats such as text, images and videos.
Compared to digital signage, traditional signage is less flexible in terms of audience targeting, interactivity, screen management and content.
Some define traditional digital signage as old-fashioned and restrictive. And indeed, most traditional signage is beginning to look obsolete compared to digital signage.
Digital signage is a display tool that can store and process data. These data are none other than the digital media and the digital technologies behind these innovative signage.
Digital signage is made possible due to the advanced display technologies we have nowadays. Not only can digital signage monitors screen but it can also adds up to sensors and advanced mechanics. Digital signage can process and display digital media such as images, animations, graphics and videos but can also process more complex files. Some advanced digital signage solutions can even help to collect and analyse usersβ data.
As an example, the screen builder Samsung offers an integrated signage solution with their displays. This software called MagicInfo is an all-in-one solution supporting content, device and data management. Users can manage content and devices on a single platform, from content creation to publication and monitoring.
However, this is a limited tool for big companies since its abilities are limited to standard signage needs and since it is not built as a collaborative tool. Indeed, it works fine for basic signage projects. But, whenever users will need to broadcast more complex information or to manage access rights, they will not be able to do so with a basic screen builder signage solution.
This is why, as Comeen, we decided to create a signage solution that offers more features and integrations. Our solution works with most screens and simplifies the creation and broadcast of contents for the dedicated team.
For instance, we are already integrated into the Samsung OS (known as Tizen) so people can directly use Comeen Play if they use compatible hardware.

βSince we want to provide you with the best information about our competitors and stay neutral at the same time, we gathered some reviews on G2 (largest and most trusted software marketplace).
βTherefore, if your lead tries to compare us with other signage solutions, you will be able to convince them with the arguments below - whose authors are actual users.
Appspace
About the usage
β "It's easy to use and pretty effortless once set up. Only used one other but it wasn't good as that one."
β
"Access restrictions need to improve."
β
"Appspace is being used for content management on digital screens throughout our facilities. However their solution is not a good match for us. Their digital signage CMS solution is nothing special, and their level of customer support is nothing short of abysmal. It took me over two weeks to get access to my account in the first place. I would never select this service over other competitors in the space."
β
βAbout Pricing
"Some of their licensing can be a bit confusing. The differences between a user and a device can be confusing. The multiple packages are a tad confusing too."
About the deployment
"Too complex Installation process"
Scala
About the usage
β
"It wasn't easy to learn, unlike other platforms. The time to learn was a bit frustrating, but that being said, all platforms take some time to learn. The wayfinding feature was a bit frustrating to learn and took longer to setup than we had hoped for. Don't expect a lot of technical support."
β
βAbout Pricing
"Scala could adjust pricing to make it more affordable"
About the deployment
"Be sure to learn all of the offerings that scala has and do plenty of research by talking with other companies that have used the products. The complexity of the setup for shows for distribution was daunting for many users."

Yodeck
About the usage
β
"Finding the download for the image was a bit confusing since you have to go to an article in the documentation and click a link there to download it. There isn't a download link on the admin panel other than a link to the aforementioned article."
β
"We would like to be able to generate internal templates with fields with database connectivity vs being dependent on web developers and web pages. Also the templates for creating content could be more varied and customizable"
β
βAbout Pricing
"The pricing for certain features can be a bit steep."
About the deployment
"I wish the sales and support teams were more responsive."
Screencloud
About the usage
β
"I'd maybe consider using a free signage solution, for there are many other alternatives I can use to create the same signage effect."
β
β
"There is nothing overly fancy when it comes to the software. This makes the software simple to use, but in the end the features prove to be weak."
β
"No sound is a big dislike. id like to be able to have sound playing even if it's background music or for new notices a new sound play."
β
βAbout Pricing
"Although it is a nice interface, it's too expensive."
β
"To have many devices set up is too costly for us."
About the deployment
"Sometimes we experience outages, we have also run into a few bugs that took support a few days to figure out."
β
"The pairing process is sometimes a bit slow"
β
"Long load times sometimes depending on content."
