### "Xibo: Transforming Our Visual Communication"

August 12, 2025

5.0

Xibo has streamlined our organization’s visual communication by allowing us to internally manage and distribute media quickly and efficiently. Its simple interface and excellent response time ensure that updates, such as removing out-of-stock media, happen simultaneously across all locations within seconds. Bringing this process in-house, which was previously handled by third parties, has greatly increased agility and significantly reduced costs.

Pros

Xibo has enabled my organization to manage and distribute media and all our visual communication. It is easy to use, the response time is excellent, and my stores can request the removal of media when stock runs out, with the content being removed from all locations simultaneously within seconds. Previously, this operation was managed by third parties, but with Xibo we were able to bring the process in-house, giving us greater agility and a HUGE cost reduction.

Cons

The only downside to Xibo is the lack of a mobile app for media management, but the solution perfectly fulfills its purpose.

### "Easy set-up, no annual subscription needed"

March 5, 2026

5.0

It was extremely easybto set up the cms. And the player licenses support android, which is easy to get a hold of compatible boxes.

Pros

I was able to set up the CMS to run locally. I don't have to perpetually pay a subscription fee in order to use the system.

Cons

Theres no built-in system to use hdmi-cec to turn on/turn off TVs. It would be a simple feature to add for the xibo player. I had to spend time creating a custom solution to do the same thing with scripts.

### "Great usability, but extremely rigid billing system"

August 6, 2025

3.0

Overall, Xibo has been a solid platform for our basic content management needs. It’s intuitive, reliable, and meets our expectations for campaign scheduling and screen control. However, the reporting limitations slow down our operations, and the inflexible billing system creates unnecessary pressure and dissatisfaction. Flexibility should be a priority in a SaaS environment.

Pros

The platform is very easy to use, intuitive, and works well for managing our network of digital screens. The user interface is clean and straightforward, and for our day-to-day operations, it does exactly what we need.

Cons

The biggest downside is the payment model. As a customer, I should have the freedom to choose when, how, and where to pay. Other platforms like Spotify or Netflix allow users to cancel and resume subscriptions at their own pace — if you don’t pay, the service stops, but you're not forced to pay for unused time. Xibo forces payment even if the platform isn't being used, which feels unfair and rigid, especially for businesses still growing or in testing phases. Additionally, the reporting feature has some limitations. When trying to export large amounts of data from the screen metrics, the system struggles, making the reporting process slow and inefficient.

### "Xibo just runs efforlessly once you set it up"

January 7, 2026

5.0

I have been using Xibo on and off for many years, since version 1.8 over a decade ago. It continiously improves with more features and stability updates and the team are very helpful if you ever need support. I use a selfhost version that runs without any hiccups effortlessly. It is a set and forget platform that you will not worry about missing a beat.

Pros

Xibo is a fantastic digital signage platform that offers flexibilty with cloud hosting and self-hosted version on various platforms. It offers great features, solid documentation and support if needed all at a good value.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve to it when you are new to the platform. However, there are good documentations to guide you through your setup.

### "Great Improvements, But Pricing Could Be More Competitive"

April 7, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Xibo has been very positive. The improvements over time show that the platform is actively maintained and evolving in the right direction. It has helped streamline digital signage management effectively, and despite the pricing concern, it remains a reliable and capable solution.

Pros

I really appreciate the continuous improvements Xibo has made over its previous versions. The platform feels more stable, user-friendly, and feature-rich compared to earlier releases. The interface is cleaner, and content management has become more intuitive, which makes day-to-day operations much easier. I also like the flexibility it offers in managing digital signage across multiple screens.

Cons

One of the main drawbacks for me is the pricing. While the features are solid and continuously improving, the cost can feel a bit high, especially when scaling across multiple devices or locations. Hopefully in the future there will be more attractive bundling packages or discounts

### "Efficient, Reliable, and Easy-to-Manage Digital Signage Solution"

April 7, 2026

5.0

My overall experience has been very satisfying, from installation to daily management and ongoing system maintenance. Xibo has proven to be reliable, efficient, and highly effective for my business needs, making content management and display operations much easier to handle.

Pros

I like the ease of implementation and management. It is straightforward to deploy, intuitive to use, and allows quick updates and centralized control of all displays without complexity.

Cons

The main downside is the lack of a well-optimized management interface for mobile devices, which makes it harder to perform quick adjustments, monitoring, or updates when working remotely or away from a desktop environment.

### "Great tool with some learning curve "

February 15, 2026

5.0

My overall experience has been very positive. It is a powerful, professional-grade tool that offers incredible flexibility for our environment. While it takes some time to build the initial structure, the result is a highly reliable system that handles daily rotations and specific weekday blocks perfectly.

Pros

The most impressive feature is the high level of control over Screen Management and Display Management. We configured it to show some different Things every day, the automation via Playlists and Scheduling makes daily operations effortless. It is a powerful tool for Marketing and Advertising, as I can target specific groups on different days. Additionally, the ability to create and reuse Templates (Layouts) ensures a consistent look across all screens. I love that I only need to upload MP4s to a playlist to update my entire advertising loop.

Cons

The initial learning curve is quite steep, especially regarding the terminology. Distinguishing between Layouts, Regions, and Playlists can be confusing for beginners.

The whole experience has been great. Customer support from xibo is prompt too. Display management is smooth.

Pros

It is very affordable especially if hosted on premise. We use it at church so cost is a big consideration.

Cons

I would like to see more free templates. So that we can start using is quickly. Our skills for creating templates are not good.

I've been using it for quite a while, the overall experience is good. I've used Windows, Tizen, Android platforms. Of course, it's nice that there is no monthly fee.

Pros

Cost-effective use and the fact that there are many options for broadcasting content. Easy to understand program interface

Cons

I don't see online screenshots, thumbnails of displays and they will not refresh automatically (maybe in the latest server versions it is)

### "A Reliable and Cost-Effective Digital Signage Solution"

December 4, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Xibo has been very positive. It’s a stable and flexible digital signage platform that becomes very easy to manage once the initial setup is done. The value for money is excellent, you get a powerful feature set without the high licensing costs often seen in other solutions. Customer support has also been solid. Responses are helpful, and the documentation and community forums make it easy to find answers when needed. In short, Xibo is a dependable, cost-effective choice for organizations that need centralized control over multiple screens.

Pros

What I liked most about Xibo is its flexibility and reliability as a digital signage platform. The cloud management console is intuitive, making it easy to schedule and update content across multiple displays without technical complexity. Layout creation is straightforward, and the library of widgets allows for dynamic and engaging presentations.

Cons

What I liked least about Xibo is that some configuration steps feel more technical than expected, especially during the initial setup of players and network permissions. The interface, while functional, can feel a bit dated in certain areas, and new users may need time to fully understand the layout editor and scheduling options. Additionally, updates between versions occasionally introduce compatibility issues with existing players, requiring manual intervention. More built-in templates and a smoother onboarding experience would make the platform even stronger.

We switched to Xibo because we needed a more flexible and cost-effective digital signage solution that could scale across multiple locations without increasing licensing costs. Other platforms we tried were either too limited in features or too expensive to maintain long term. Xibo offered the right balance of functionality, ease of management, and affordability, making it a better fit for our operational needs.

### "Powerful and Affordable, Just Needs Smoother Management"

October 6, 2025

5.0

I’ve been impressed with how easy and flexible Xibo is. It does everything I need for screen scheduling and layout control, and the fact that it’s self-hosted gives full peace of mind. A few usability improvements would make it even better, but overall it’s a reliable platform I would recommend.

Pros

Xibo is surprisingly easy to get started with. I really appreciated how straightforward it was to schedule content and organize layouts without needing to be a designer or developer. Xibo is cost-effective compared to other digital signage solutions and offers strong functionality even in its free/self-hosted version. Centralized control of multiple screens is convenient once everything is configured. Being self-hosted gives full control over data and network access, which is a plus for secure environments.

Cons

The permission system is not very intuitive, making it difficult to manage ownership or access control across multiple users or departments. Occasional glitches in the layout editor or player sync can disrupt content scheduling.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Xibo

Xibo offers a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that makes layout creation and editing more intuitive. Additionally, it has strong support for Android-based displays, making it easier to manage and deploy content across Android screens.

### "Best bang for your buck CMS out there. Period."

September 23, 2025

5.0

I've been in digital signage since 2002, I've used many different CMS over the years and factoring all the variables in such as Price, Features, security, hardware compatibility etc. there is no better use of money than moving to a xibo platform.

Pros

My favorite part about xibo is the open-source code. Most CMS platforms would charge thousands of dollars to customize the UI to your preferences, if they'd do it at all. With xibo it can be done extremely easy by any developer. Their documentation is robust and easy for most to follow. Their openness to new and different ideas from the community of users makes their product feature set more impressive with each release

Cons

The most common complaint I hear from our customers and internal people using xibo is that the interface looks very outdated, and most find it hard to use. There are a lot of buttons that you can click on and the average user doesn't bother to read the instruction xibo has posted and get frustrated.

### "Xibo is quite easy to use, affordable, versatile, scalable and offers great service!"

September 9, 2025

5.0

I've been using self-hosted Xibo since the early (v1.2 via LaunchPad) days in a few of our local gyms, dance studio, karate school, sports venue and sports café - for promotions, menu's, live viewing of classes and as a modern alternative to printed signage for sponsors. Even though there was no money to be made of me, \[sensitive content hidden\] always responded to my questions and feedback on the forums and treated me as a valued user. Many years later, with quite a few additional screens and hosted CMS installations, still the Xibo crew is as ready to help me as ever, at times even advising to stick to the self-hosted CMS for my needs. As new clients come along, I will for sure recommend Xibo for their Digital Signage. Xibo is quite easy to use, affordable, versatile, scalable and offers great service. So for their continued hard work on this fantastic product, open and honest communication, and lack of pushing me towards paid solutions when self-hosted works fine, I can only say - having tried other Digital Signage platforms as well - they more than deserve a 5-star review.

Pros

Xibo offers extensive options and great versatility in the Xibo CMS and fantastic reliability of the Windows, Android and Tizen players (I have no experience with the other players, I can only assume those other players are just as reliable!).

Cons

There used to be quite a steep learning curve for the less tech savvy user, but the Xibo Training modules have improved that experience tremendously.

### "Affordable and powerful"

August 15, 2025

4.0

Overall experience is good. It might seem complicated at first, but once you learn the ropes, you'll love how many things you can do.

Pros

Versatility, no matter if you're a small store owner, or running a massive company with hundreds of displays, you'll find the right solution with Xibo. Allso it's very affordable, having an option to go with them. or host it yourself is a big deal for many small companies that are new in the media field.

Cons

Early days there were a lot of unexplained bugs with no solutions so you had to have some workarounds. The longer they're on the market, the fewer you'll see. The bad thing is that these bugs/limitations were out in the open for years, not really treated as critical. Or they were critical, just too big to tackle quickly.

### "Xibo Makes Digital Signage Easy and Affordable"

September 9, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Xibo has been very positive. It’s a powerful and flexible digital signage platform that makes it easy to manage and schedule content across multiple displays. I especially like how cost-effective it is compared to other solutions, while still offering a wide range of features. The only challenge is the learning curve—since there are so many capabilities but not much formal training, it takes some time to figure everything out. Once you get comfortable, though, it’s an excellent tool for managing digital signage.

Pros

What I liked most about Xibo is how user-friendly and flexible it is—you can manage multiple displays, create dynamic layouts, and schedule content with ease, all without being tied to expensive licensing costs.

Cons

Xibo is feature-rich, but the learning curve is steep since there aren’t enough training or onboarding resources available.

Excelent. We use it to inform the guests of our hotels of several info using TVs in common places. It's cost effective and easy to configurate and manage.

Pros

Flexibility and central managing of several players. Easy to create content. Free of charge, except for the Android players license.

Cons

You bought a license for a version of Android player that is not compatible, usable, for another version. So everytime you upgrade your player you have to bought again the license.

### "Reliable and easy-to-use signage solution"

February 10, 2026

5.0

I have been using Xibo in my hotel environment for over two years now, and it has been a fantastic experience. The system is rock solid; everything works perfectly day in and day out. It has been running reliably for years without any major downtime, making it a trusted tool for our business.

Pros

The software is incredibly easy to set up and manage, which is crucial for our operations. We can deploy updates quickly without any technical headaches. It handles all our media types effortlessly, and the centralized management saves us a significant amount of time compared to other solutions we have tried.

Cons

Honestly, we haven't encountered any significant downsides during our usage. The system has been stable and meets all our requirements. If I had to pick something, the learning curve for very advanced features can be slight, but for general daily use, we really have no complaints at all.

### "A simple and reliable communication tool"

June 30, 2025

5.0

Overall, our experience with Xibo has been very positive. It’s given us an efficient way to share news and updates around the college, and the ability to manage everything from a central point has saved us a lot of time. The system is reliable and easy for staff to pick up, even those who aren’t particularly technical. Any issues we’ve had have generally been easy to resolve, and the flexibility of using an on-site server with Android sticks has fitted our needs really well. Xibo has become an essential part of how we communicate with staff and students across the school.

Pros

Xibo has made it really straightforward for us to present college news and key information across the school. The system is genuinely easy to use, even for staff with minimal IT experience. We really appreciate the flexibility of running our own on-site server and managing our screens using Android sticks, which keeps things reliable and cost-effective. The web interface is intuitive, and scheduling content or updating screens takes just a few clicks. Overall, Xibo gives us a simple, effective way to keep everyone informed with minimal hassle.

Cons

Sometimes the initial setup can be a bit fiddly, especially when configuring the Android sticks and connecting them to the server for the first time. There have also been occasions where updates or new layouts take a little longer than expected to sync to all the screens.

Overall, my experience with Xibo has been positive. It is a reliable solution with solid security, making it easy to manage screens effectively without too much complexity. While there is always room for improvement, it delivers on what it promises and helps manage content in a professional way.

Pros

What I liked most about Xibo is that the learning curve is short and the setup is quite straightforward. The display management and screen management features provide great flexibility for organizing content, which enhances the overall experience. I also find it offers good value for money compared to other alternatives.

Cons

What I liked least is that sometimes there are minor bugs and issues that can affect smooth usage, and the documentation for some technical areas could be clearer.

Positive, we have 55 displays we work with. Ration between cost and performance is good. Xibo is relatively simple and flexible over a large number of platforms.

Pros

flexibility, embedding of HTML and JavaScript is great, good scheduling tools, simple adding of new displays

Cons

Editor is too slow, image loading in editor is slow. Pure display monitoring and status of display. Better management of displays from a content point of view. Preset of commands to manage HW remotely is missing like (like, sleep, wakeup, restart, brightness etc. for all android and windows). Canva import is static, would be nice to import design with object so we change change the content.

Really really good. We have worked with them for over 5 years and it has been great. Very responsive to our needs.

Pros

They have been very receptive to our needs and pleasant to work with. They have worked hard to implement ideas we have had to make our job easier.

Cons

Timing. Time difference sometimes makes it tough. Being a six hour time difference means we always must jump on things first thing in the morning.

### "After 10 years, still amazed by Xibo improvements"

September 9, 2025

5.0

It is a great product and Ive been using the community version for 10 years now. I started using it for non-profit projects and now I am using a commercial version. Product has been improved significanltly over the years

Pros

I like that now they offer the whitelabel and cloud service for the management application. I have purchased white labeling for an app and it was easy for me to setup the client branding in the Android app.

Cons

The complexity on adding a single slide and the sincronization issues, you need to improve the connector. As example, I had to keep pushing the same slide over and over again and the client was not showing it. Suddenly after a few hours, the slide showed up. So I think the sincronization between the application on devices and the CMS should be definitely improved. Another thing is that there are too many requirements to setup and push a single slide.

We've been working with the Xibo platform since the early days and the last years Xibo made good progress on getting a established name. Also the level and quality of the support is a reason to be a proud partner of Xibo.

Pros

The fact that it is really all-round, versatile and has an open structure to set it up to customer demands.

Cons

The design & UI, we think it does not show the level where the the application behind the UI is operating.
