Pick Samsung MagicINFO if…
Every screen is a Samsung display. MagicINFO's S Player is built into Samsung signage, MagicINFO Server runs on your own servers, and Samsung holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 for it. Samsung's India site does not publish prices, so you get a quote from Samsung sales.
Pick Wilyer if…
Your screens are mixed, or will be. Besides Samsung Tizen, Wilyer runs on Android, Windows, LG webOS, ChromeOS, Fire TV Stick, Amazon Signage Stick, BrightSign, Linux and Raspberry Pi, all from one dashboard. Pro is ₹1,200 per screen a month plus GST, on-premise is on the Enterprise plan, and the free trial covers 15 screens for 14 days.
