The interface is user-friendly and easy to grasp. It also works well with a lot of media players that we currently use. > > **Cons**: Organizing assets should be improved because it can be cluttered over time. We're also looking for more integrations so that we can directly deploy materials imported to the software itself without having to use other third-party apps. > > Carousel Digital Signage helps us manage content from a single dashboard and deploy it across different types of media players. It definitely lessens our time whenever we want to change displays. It's also easy to use and onboarding time is fast. ----- ### "BTPS Review" — 5.0/5 > **Derek** | *17 February 2021* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. It is very easy to take a photo or video and get it uploaded and running on the system. > > **Cons**: I wish it would integrate with the web better. Display webpages better, youtube support. > > Really easy web based management keeps things simple. I don't need any special on the users end to have them edit channels. ----- ### "Very pleased" — 4.0/5 > **Abbie** | *18 February 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to communicate and Engage with students > > **Cons**: I have experienced issues where the speed is too quick for me > > Very pleased.

However, if you want to really spend time creating content, that is possible too. > > **Cons**: I didn't like the look of my channel so when I was helping a colleague set up a new channel and I discovered the default layouts available, I started using them, but updating my templates has been time consuming. It's probably user error on my end but that kind of set-up has been challenging. > > It does exactly what I was looking for\! I needed an easy way to share and update announcements from a central location across my campus. Carousel lets me do that easily and effectively. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2047767/carousel?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2047767/carousel) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
