About Kioware

KioWare is a cloud-based kiosk solution designed to help small to large businesses manage device security and convert Android or Windows-based devices into self-service kiosks. KioWare allows administrators to define multiple user roles, server-console access, internet or system restrictions, and database authorizations. The platform also helps secure applications against malicious activities, and prohibits connectivity with external devices.

Key features of KioWare include digital signage, remote access, reporting, order fulfillment, secure browsing, and a virtual keyboard. Kiosk management functionality allows administrators to remotely perform multiple operations, such as file updates, through application content transfers, and OS updates for devices or sites. KioWare also enables users to issue various custom commands, including device shutdowns, reboots, and restarts across multiple locations.

KioWare provides usage statistics, allowing users to gather device information and generate reports on page usage, session times and mean times between failures (MTBF). The platform integrates with various third-party applications, facilitating receipt printing, barcode scanning, and RFID reading.

Needed a fast, easy-to-use solution for our employee timeclock system

I was tasked with getting some tablets ready to act as the time clock kiosks for the new payroll system we were implementing. After some web searching the name KioWare kept popping up so I checked it out. The software was easy to set up, easy to manage, and has worked flawlessly. Needless to say payroll and HR were very pleased as the launch of our new system went very smoothly. I'll definitely come to KioWare again in the future if I get put on a project that requires a kiosk.

Pros

The configuration options were extremely intuitive. I didn't have to look up very much in the documentation in order to get a prototype up and running within 30 minutes. Copying configuration files across multiple devices was a snap once I had everything set up the way I wanted it, and licensing them was extremely reasonable price-wise. I've had virtually no issues from the software in nearly 6 months. The security audit feature was a nice touch, and really helped me out! I almost locked myself out of my device permanently if not for that!

Cons

I think the only thing that was a bit disappointing would be a lack of mixed-mode attract screens. It'd be nice to be able to pull up either web pages, videos, or images. But to do that you'd need to be able to set up some kind of attract screen custom list, and then the software could cycle through that custom list as opposed to just cycling through local files. Very small gripe, though.

We use it for sign-in when guests visit our office. It presents a web form and does not allow access to any other sites, so by using our web form patrons are signed in easily with little to no intervention from us. We also use the "attract screen" feature to send an uninterruptible slideshow to a nearby monitor on the wall sharing news about our office.

Pros

Kioware offered the features I absolutely needed in kiosk software at a price that made it hard to say no. In addition to the basics I knew I was looking for it offered some advanced features and the configurability that we were also able to use it to solve the need for a rotating slideshow in our lobby and manage the assets over our network to easily swap out slides.

Cons

The setup was a bit confusing at times, mostly using terms/phrases that I wasn't familiar with (being new to kiosks in general didn't help). But after some trial and error we got it up and running in a few hours.

The support team is off-the-charts awesome. I configured and installed our three kiosks (and two users) myself. It was not easy, and complicated by the online manual. I needed to interact with their support folks about six times. In every instance, my call was handled promptly, and I got the answers I needed quickly. They were able to login to my screen when needed and see exactly what was whacked. Absolutely top notch tech support.

Pros

The functionality. It is far more useful than we expected. The KIOCALL function, in particular. has assisted our store staff to interact with other stores to help customers who are right there with them.

Cons

The setup and configuration. The online manual is tough to negotiate. Posting photos for merchandising through the "Attract Screen" process was one of our prime objectives. It works... but I wish it was easier and quicker to do.

Response from Kioware

Thanks for your feedback! We are working on improving the online manual (our user guides). Email [email protected] with any specifics about what you find most in need of improvement or ideas for simplifying the setup experience.

I used the PC software for a touch screen information kiosk based from our website. I used the android version to lockdown a tablet browser based time clock punch in solution. Both were effective, andriod did crash more than I would like.

Pros

Ease of setup on android. Pc was a little more complicated but more reliable.

Cons

Doesn't auto launch in windows 10 unless you create a scheduled task.
