Considered Both Products	BrightSign No answer on this topic	Crestron Fusion Verified User Anonymous Chose Crestron Fusion At the time Crestron fusion was the only software that would integrate well with the Crestron systems. Since we are fully Crestron site we needed a program that would help us to maintain and monitor all things Crestron. Incentivized Helpful? Mark Fitzgerald Adjunct Professor Chose Crestron Fusion We had several competitors to Crestron and in part because of Fusion and because of their DMPS line we have standardized on their products. Having this level of standardization really helped us have a much more solid solution. We have brought down our incidents from 90 per … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	BrightSign	Crestron Fusion
Likelihood to Recommend	Well suited to get content out to employees quickly and easily. Images and videos are the best. It might not work well for stagnant PDF and PPT content. Incentivized GW Gary Wade Sr. Employee Engagement Sprcialist Read full review	If you are using a lot of Crestron equipment in your environment you really do need to deploy this management software Incentivized Mark Fitzgerald Adjunct Professor Read full review
Pros	Simple and easy to use. Easy to navigate and understand. Incentivized GW Gary Wade Sr. Employee Engagement Sprcialist Read full review	Fusion is the main infrastructure for the Crestron Ecosystem and a result is a key components It has a decent ui and is easy to group and find assets. We arrange things by classroom. Incentivized Mark Fitzgerald Adjunct Professor Read full review
Cons	Tutorials would be helpful. I had to consult with another vendor to get started. It would be helpful not to have to re-size photos all the time. Takes too much time. Incentivized GW Gary Wade Sr. Employee Engagement Sprcialist Read full review	It requires a lot of understanding to set up for metrics. You really have to put what you want to measure into the code of each room so it can report back. It is cumbersome to add in a new metric. It just seems like it can be easier to have the equipment autopopulate and do standard reporting and control without having to build each of it for each piece of equipment. Incentivized Mark Fitzgerald Adjunct Professor Read full review
Support Rating	Ease of use and convenience of getting content to employees. I would give it a 10 if there were video tutorials for first-time users and live chat support. Incentivized GW Gary Wade Sr. Employee Engagement Sprcialist Read full review	No answers on this topic

Return on Investment	Great asset to provide employees with current and relevant information. Can impact employee morale if content is changed on a regular basis. Incentivized GW Gary Wade Sr. Employee Engagement Sprcialist Read full review	Fusion has helped us make decisions on what types of equipment is being used in each room. It helped us eliminate parts not being used and saving us money in design and supportability. It has also helped us in that each morning we scan for what systems need attention. This has helped us create a much higher uptime. Incentivized Mark Fitzgerald Adjunct Professor Read full review
