Omnivex

The scripting engine within this software allows for complete customization of a signage environment. The scripting API and performance of this software gives you the ability to create high performance data driven signage and experiences. This software can be utilized with all types of systems due to how customizable it is. Environments that have multiple platforms to handle various types of content and signage would easily benefit from this product pulling it all into one software solution and management interface.

Omnivex Moxie is a windows based application only. Omnivex has been working hard to create a web based product to allow for cloud hosted deployments and compatibility with Smart Display, mobile phones, Mac, Linux, and Bright sign Players. Currently Moxie still has more overall features and capabilities, but that may change in the future. While the scripting engine enables unlimited potential some companies would require assistance setting up more advanced integrations.

We really like quicklink to allow multiple users access a web interface to upload content without worrying about them causing issues with the main structure of the signage we've set up. XML link lets us easily pull in live data. It also helps us trigger events, such as - if there is more than 4 events on a given day, use template 2 etc etc.

The features I wish it had? Player monitoring is a bit of a miss. There is no method to know a player is down unless you launch the studio application and chack the player tab. A system of email notification that player is offline would be a simple and effective solution to a problem I encounter regularly. For example, if windows updates turns off a computer... I won't know about it until I log in and do a player check... or if somebody sees it and messages me. Secondly, the price is high. We use a lot of the features which justifies the price, but smaller users might find this too costly

Our company researched data metrics display systems for our factory and found that Ominvex would be the most user friendly and adaptable system for our needs. It connected to our various desired data sources and allowed for quick design, scheduling, and deployment of players within our factory.

Some of the html content that can be built into layouts are limited to being a web browser with some cropping capabilities. We've found that some web content might function more consistently on player devices if they could be more like a web editor where containers and embedded content could be built in. We also would like to see the ability to build in shared credentials from the head end managing side of the system to the players. We use a website with gps truck delivery tracking but requires a user login and password. The players have to constantly be updated at the player display to type in the credentials, even if "remember me" has been selected.
