Paper or plastic?
Brown gravy or white gravy?
American League or National League?
And now, the debate over which type of digital signage software to choose continues on and on. Software as a Service (SaaS) or self-hosted? It's a choice every customer must make if they choose to install a digital signage network. And it's an important choice to make.
Bill Gerba, a colleague in the marketplace, provided a great post last week debating the merits of each. Scalability. Security. There are merits to each.
One of the big appeals of our product is the ability to install signage without any IT. Go with a self-hosted solution and you're heading down the IT path. And I know how much corporate communication departments love working with IT.
Our MediaCast product is SaaS. All you have to do is log in through a web browser. Simple and done. We manage it all for you, which also means you're not locked into an old version of the software or have to pay a small ransom to get updated. With MediaTile, the software you're using is always the latest and greatest.
Clearly we've chosen sides as to which we think is best, but ultimately it comes down to each individual offering. One hosted solution could be better than a SaaS. And the other way around.
The key is to investigate each piece of software to make sure it works for you.
