Valotalive

Great data visualization & transparency

Vorteile:

It allows us to make our KPIs more visible to all employees and this way is an important leadership tool. It has additionally extended our internal communications reach to employee groups that cannot be properly reached with any other internal communications channel

Nachteile:

Getting the right balance with the different content parts has been a bit challenging but I assume this is something that we learn to fix over time

A solution in perfect harmony with the needs of our company

Kommentare: Our experience with this service is very satisfactory, and the new interface is very pleasant to use.

Vorteile:

We were looking for a digital signage solution that would allow us to distribute information and news published on our new Sharepoint-based intranet to our employees. Among the solutions we were looking for, only Valota offered this option. Many companies use the complete MS Office ecosystem. For us, Valota was the solution that best suited our needs, providing us with flexibility and comfort, since we didn't even have to change our internal communication tools.

Nachteile:

We find that all the available options are useful, nothing is missing. In addition, Valo's teams are constantly working on new tools and options. The functionalities seem to be always up to date and in accordance with the evolution of our needs.

Valotalive fits our needs and purpose

Kommentare: Overall my experience is very good.

Vorteile:

What I liked most about Valotalive was the fact that it is built in the cloud and its main function is to pull information from other systems with simple apps so that we don't have to maintain multiple content systems. I also like the fact the quick development and constant improvements of the system as well as great and personal customer support.

Nachteile:

It can be a little bit complex to understand, especially for new users. I would also like to see more self-service permission functionality so the customer administrator can assign flows and displays to certain users without having to ask for assistance.

Implementation and automation made easy

Kommentare: The easiest Digital signage software I have ever used!

Vorteile:

Easy to implement and scale-up. What I love the most is the modern and simple admin console for the users and admins. Learning the settings didn't take much time and I had excellent support available as I needed it. I appreciate the support repose time even though there is a large data bank for the users, always had assist! Fast content updates is finally made easy! Our problem used to be that our employees didn't have the skills to make simple updates for internal or external signage-displays. But with Valotalive, if you have used any type of social media apps, updating your content is almost the same with Valotalive's My content publishing tool. You can do it also though our phone. Simple and understandable logic with content apps, flows and displays. Almost all our business data is now automated from our Google Slides, Sheets, Google intranets, Calendar and Analytics channels to our internal Digital signage displays with Valotalive tools. Our teams are up-to-date around the clock. High secure integrations between our platforms and valotalive is also one of the reasons why we choose them!

Nachteile:

Learning new platform take always time but as I mentioned earlier, I was positively surprised how fast the learning process was. If I would need to improve something, I would add direct links that lead to Valotalive support portal to every tab or page for fasted assistance.

Using Valotalive for internal communication

Kommentare: Valotalive helps us to improve our internal communication in a modern and people-friendly way. Now internal messages and information reaches out to all of our stores. We have received very good feedback from our personnel. The platform and the service meets our demands. Help is provided whenever we need it and the answering time from the support is very short. The pricing is reasonable: we only pay for what we use.

Vorteile:

Valotalive makes it easy to communicate internally: The platform is effortless to use and its versatile apps makes it easy to create content with added value for the personnel. High scores for the scheduling of posts, "posting-on-the-go" directly from your mobile phone and the administration of screens/content.

Nachteile:

I would like to have the opportunity to add some hidden hashtags to the posts, so that when the content is in the archive, I could easily find the posts later using those hashtags in the archive search engine. Now I can use words from the post to find it in the archive, but I don't always remember the correct words so that the correct post would appear in my search. We have some posts that we like to show later again and then it would be nicer to have easier access to them in the archive, rather than going through them one by one. Those hashtags should not be visible on the screen but would be a help during the search process in the archive. Also, it would be nice to have dates shown in the archive instead of "posted 1 week ago", "posted 4 weeks ago" etc. That would also be a good search criteria: searching with the publishing date.
