What do you like best about Scala?

The options are endless with Scala. Is is fast and versatile and in the signage world. We used scala for signage within our restaurants and cafes and it allowed us to integrate several areas together. We setup the system to work with the pre-order mobile functionality. That was a game-changer for our business an perception to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scala?

It wasn't easy to learn per se. It was unique, 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scala?

Scala seems to be one of the preferred platforms that our digital media team uses. This makes it an easy selection when looking for a solution. Our team is familiar with the platform such that I have built-in support and implementation help before, during, and after the sales cycle with the customer. We're also able to provide design services to our customers, for those that may not have an in-house team to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scala?

Nothing that I have found so far. Since moving to my current company, I have had several opportunities to develop and propose Scala as a complete digital signage solution.

The only thing that has been a disadvantage for me to date is that I haven't engaged my local Scala partner rep more. I know that are an excellent source of information. I will make a goal to connect with my local rep/partner to create that relationship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scala?

I was impressed by the drag-and-drop user interface. It makes importing content and getting it to your preferred destination easy and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scala?

I wish there was a little more flexibility in terms of curating the content to be displayed. I’d like the ability to display multiple images or video files simulataneously in a multi-window configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scala?

It was easy to use, and the back end management made keeping tabs on on players a snap.

Made a funky art wall with varying content, was able to remotely control screens with RS232.

Player pcs would update even with intermittent internet

What do you like best about Scala?

Scala has a very powerful feature set. It has the ability to do just about anything you could want it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scala?

Scala is very powerful and can be very difficult to figure out. The software could be a little more user friendly. Training on the software is really required to do advanced things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scala?

The capabilities of the product were strong however at the time of review the product lacked cloud capabilities - it required an on premise server. I'm not sure if that's changed, this was years ago but this was a major deterrant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scala?

The on premise hardware requirement. It was also pretty technical to manage - I didn't feel comfortable with a business user managing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scala?

I didn't like anything best. Our company was tasked with taking over support and it was beyond difficult. Vendor support was tough and the product didn't feel mature enough for the solution it was implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scala?

I dislike the CMS functionality. I was difficult to setup and support this system for a highly valued retail client. The system wasn't scalable enough for a reliable and quality nationwide rollout Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
