Why Enterprise Teams Switch from Userful
The top reasons customers migrate to SPARC
Running a video wall system AND a separate CMS — two logins, two content libraries, two support contracts
- Userful powered the video wall but standard screens needed a separate CMS
- Two content libraries meant inconsistent branding across display types
- Wanted one platform for video walls, standard screens, menu boards, and kiosks
Stunning video wall but couldn't prove anyone was watching
- Spent a fortune on the video wall — board asked for ROI, had nothing
- No audience measurement — didn't know who looked or how long they stayed
- Sponsors paying for video wall advertising wanted verified audience data
Video wall was impressive but disconnected from the rest of the space
- Lighting, audio, and screens all on separate systems
- Scene transitions required manual coordination across three interfaces
- Wanted the video wall to be one part of a coordinated environment experience
