Compare FrontFace vs. Kiosk Browser

FrontFace is a powerful on-premise digital signage & kiosk software product (not SaaS) that allows you to easily deploy flexible and very reliable interactive kiosk terminals, touchscreen frontends, as well as non-interactive public displays and digital signage applications, advertising or information displays, self-service kiosks, etc. FrontFace can display any kind of media format, whether you want to display text, images, photos, PDFs, videos, news tickers or even entire web pages (HTML5). But the best news is that you can use ANY Windows application that can print to create high-quality HD content for your display. Use PowerPoint, Word, Excel, etc. to create content for your playlists. Use the tools you are familiar with without having to invest in learning a new, complex design application! In addition, FrontFace comes with a plugin interface that allows you to extend the application's functionality with optional plugins. This includes the integration of external calendars (e.g. Office 365 Exchange Online or ICS or Excel) or vertical applications such as an accident statistics board or a dashboard. Content management is super easy with FrontFace. No programming are skills required.

When utilizing our provisioning application to set up a device, it is configured with maximum security measures in place. The Kiosk Browser takes on the role of "device owner," which allows it elevated permissions compared to a typical installation. This enables the default launcher to be set automatically without needing any user action. Additionally, access to the status bar at the top of the screen is restricted through official methods rather than using workarounds. To initiate the provisioning process, the target device must be either brand new or have undergone a factory reset. This setup ensures that Kiosk Browser cannot be removed without performing a factory reset. Moreover, it prevents applications not present in the app drawer from launching, although apps initiated through JavaScript remain unaffected. Ultimately, these measures create a controlled and secure environment for the Kiosk Browser.
