Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Skykit Skykit claims to be unique as an entirely Google-based platform, not only to centralize the online distribution of content to digital signage systems but also allowing content providers to use favored, native applications for authoring assets. Content assets are imported into Skykit's own content management system (CMS), allowing materials across various media types to be collated and made available for arrangement into sequence, edited and packed as "programs" for publishing. Presentation slides can be edited inline thanks to integration with Google Slides, syncing all changes for real time preview alongside any adjustments in running orders, transition effects between screens and timings. Upon confirming screen layouts based on preset configurations, presentations can then be published to digital signage as "programs" while ensuring that the embedded content of all kinds is successfully displayed as desired. Supported content types include but are not exclusive to images, presentations, video, real-time data, screen captures, websites and live news, weather or financial information. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.4/5** | 62 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.4/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.3/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.1/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 80% | (8/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Skykit - **Location**: MINNEAPOLIS, US - **Founded**: 2001 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$16,00 - **Pricing model**: Other (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Skykit Beam (digital signage CMS): three product tiers are available as well as premium add-ons to fit any organization's needs for workplace experience and digital signage solutions.

This is the easiest platform to navigate and use with most amount of features while keeping things simple. ----- ### "Overall great product" — 4.0/5 > **Sarah** | *24 March 2017* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great way to keep our company updated about current events going on in our organization. > > **Cons**: It can be confusing to navigate through sometimes, I never remember off the top of my head the difference between playlists and programs. I have to click on each one to see if it takes me to where I am wanting to go. > > At first it can be confusing to know the difference between playlists and programs. But once I got that down it was easier to learn everything else. One thing that can be frustrating is that skykit makes a copy of your slides and uses that instead of the original document. I never fully understood why this was the case. I also know for us we had to make multiple copies of the same program because we wanted it to play multiple times between other parts of the playlist. This can be a bit time consuming to edit since we have to edit multiple instances of the same document to make it consistent throughout the program. ----- ### "SkyKit Review" — 3.0/5 > **Joel** | *21 December 2018* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about the software is its scalability as well as its ease of use. > > **Cons**: The fact that I am not able to centrally manage the chrome OS side of the chromeboxes that are used to run the SkyKit Content. The SkyKit Content however I feel can be expanded with extra features that can help with organization of displays, better content management within the console, as well as better overall performance improvements with content getting updated. > > Overall it has been pretty easy to setup and implement. It seems to be a bit harder to troubleshoot and manage, with a lot of maintenance having to be done on the SkyKit side, and not as much management and control on the administration side as a customer. ----- ### "Great product that does the job well." — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *22 March 2017* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Plug \& Play. Comes pre-loaded with everything I need. The Chromebox form factor is easy to place. > > **Cons**: I find the cloud application a bit confusing until you learn the "jargon". I think it could be layed out in a more intuitive way. > > Great product that does the job well. A little tricky to use at first but once you get to using it on a consistent basis it flows well. I use the Chromeboxes from Skykit and it is just plug in and go\! I would definitely recommend the product. ----- ### "Skykit" — 4.0/5 > **Brent** | *07 February 2019* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy setup easy to use. Straight forward platform with a high level of functionality. > > **Cons**: The having to publish each time any action is done. should be able to directly upload to program and then item is added to the content list as opposed to vice versa. Looses connection occasionally and have to refresh. Email should be sent notifying the moderator of such outages. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106313/skykit?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106313/skykit) ## 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 | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
