What are the Top Features to Look for in Digital Signage Software?

Forget simple PowerPoint presentations or basic image-and-caption layouts. Digital signage today is designed to give your marketing collateral a real “Wow” factor. Whether you want to drive a data-driven work culture with immersive data visualization strategies or maximize sales through unique experiential marketing, digital signage software is the key to delivering those results.

Here are the top features businesses need — and how Signagelive delivers them all.

Enterprise-Grade Security You Can Trust

First things first — you need a digital signage solution that can protect your data.

As an ISO 27001-certified company, Signagelive has the credentials to safeguard large volumes of data. Our platform is also designed with advanced security features, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and VPN access.

We also run weekly vulnerability scans and conduct regular penetration tests to keep your data and content safe — offering a level of protection most platforms can’t match.

Scalable User and Network Management

Scalability is key. Always go for a platform that can keep up with the growth of your digital signage network.

Signagelive is built for scale — ready to manage hundreds, even thousands, of digital displays across multiple locations. With Hierarchies and Granular User Permissions, it’s easy to control who can view, edit, or publish content — down to individual screens, departments, or regions.

This scalable structure helps large enterprises stay in control without slowing down their workflows.

Real-Time Data and Business Intelligence Integration

You have reams of business data — but can your teams actually use it?

With the right digital signage software, you can unlock that data’s value and build a high-performance, data-driven work culture.

Signagelive Secure Dashboards lets you display live, real-time data securely on digital signage screens across your entire organization. It supports leading BI tools like Microsoft Power BI, SharePoint, Tableau, and Monday.com.

Use it to display:

• KPIs, to keep everyone aligned with business goals
• Live insights, to support better, faster decision-making

For Power BI users, Signagelive also provides a dedicated Power BI app — complete with preview functionality to review content before it’s published.

Interactive and Automated Content Delivery

Real-Time Events (RTEs)

Immerse customers in your content. Signagelive Real-Time Events allow you to trigger external connected devices at selected moments during your on-screen content.

Set the scene for your messaging with:

• Lighting changes
• Audio effects
• Projector visuals
• IoT device responses
  
• Perfect for high-impact marketing and branded experiences.

Screen Takeovers

Make your message unmissable. Screen Takeovers let you sync multiple displays into one supersized canvas. Use them for:

• Menu board promotions

• Corporate announcements

Web Triggers

Go even further with Signagelive Web Triggers — a powerful tool to create interactive, real-time responses.

Example: A customer picks up a product in-store, and additional product details appear on a nearby screen. It’s a digital personal shopper experience, tailored to every interaction.
