Scala Reviews

Scala is a best fit for programming aspirants if you ask me. Unlike other popular programming tools, It is suitable for functional programming since it's object-oriented and also provides a huge library of useful components.I like its simplicity, ease of use and affordability.

Anyone with any experience-level can use Scala and there are several learning resources included with the app.

Poor support services. It takes almost an eternity before you get help on discord. I don't enjoy it.

It is a programming language that I enjoy using in specific projects at Google. What I like most about Scala is its combination of functional and object-oriented programming paradigms, which allows me to write code more concisely and primarily expressively.

Scala is especially useless in projects that involve high concurrency, processing large volumes of data, or building distributed systems - areas that Google often works on but is not fit for purpose.

Network support for easy connection and management

Not easy to use. Navigation also not user friendly.

We have used Scala for 13+ years now, it's probably the most proficient Digital Signage platform available, allowing you to create everything from simple displays showing screens to fully interactive displays, triggering from external sources, rateboards, flight boards, etc.
The customer facing UI is excellent and allows simple building and scheduling of playlists and displays.

The power of Scala means that it's not easy to just pick up, for most of the complex stuff I would always advise getting the experts in to help you build and implement the project.

The Scala platform (Designer, Content Manager, Player) provides a great deal of out-of-box functionality for a variety of uses. Its main pros are flexibility, user interface, and scalability. Scala Designer gets you started quickly with creating and publishing content with support for many file types and a large library of built in transitions and clip art. Content manager allows you to easily organize and create advanced frame sets for playback. This flexibility makes Scala great for a variety of applications such as large video walls, menu boards, or standalone displays. Another pro of Scala (Content Manager) is its user interface. It is divided into logical sections making it easy to navigate and make changes, however, you will become best friends with your mouse as there is a lot of clicking involved (see cons). Lastly, the scalability of the software makes it ideal for small or large deployments. Adding additional players is seamless allowing you to expand your network with little effort.

Make sure you have a solid use case and understand what Scala can do out of the box and what you will need to develop to achieve your desired functionality. Scala provides functionality that can serve a variety of use cases, however, some will require more work than others. Basic video walls and simple signage (1 media item to the next) are well suited for Scala out of the box. However, more advanced playback behaviors (think if this then that kind of behavior) will certainly require custom script development which can be a challenge as ScalaScript is nowhere near as universal as developing in other languages. As mentioned in the pros, Scala Content Manager provides a logical user interface, however, nearly every setting requires and enormous number of mouse clicks to get things done.

It's a really rich and deep application, with lots and lots of features for all kinds of needs in digital signage

Some features might need some time getting used to, or not be too easy to find. It's user interface is solid, but could be better

Scala incorporates into various signage solutions and brings a power engine to bear in content sharing.

Scala can also be difficult to navigate, especially for the newly initiated. Keep a help guide handy.

This app has Little issues associated with it, and it's documentation is very self explanatory and easy to use.

I think the user interface can be improved on more. Great app for me though.

We have been using Scala for our agency to manage digital signage on our digital displays for over a year now and it is a very good program. The layout is easy to learn and use, has all the functions you need, and makes managing displays very easy. We can upload media files, transport them to specific channels (displays), and set the schedule of when they will run. Very good product overall.

Not much to dislike about Scala. Our marketing and IT teams have used this program for over a year and there are no issues or complaints about the program.

There's so much you can do. It really gives you a complete workplace with a bunch of different tools for all kinds of situations

It can get a little complicated to find what you want, since there's a lot of different resources in it

easy to use...stabile and perfect playback of content.

we need more features in designer

This software helps employees and employer to create the best brand to the company and promote the company through creating awareness to the people
I say thank you to this software and give it a five star

It promotes the company
I like it due to its improvement
