IT Systems Engineer III Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful and user friendly digital signage solution" August 5, 2021 5.0 I've used Xibo since version 1.4.2. In the beginning there was a pretty steep learning curve to get things set up and start creating layouts. Over the years an amazing amount of work has been put into making it a very easy to use product from installation to implementation. Pros I love the fact that you have the option to host your own servers or have them hosted in the cloud. The versatility of the product is amazing and you're not locked into one brand or operating system for the displays. When I have run into issues or had questions, the support in the forums and from the Xibo staff are top notch. Cons For our use case, Xibo does everything that we need it to do. They are always releasing and working on new features. One that I may be utilizing in the near future is end user interaction with layouts. Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you for your review Michael and for being such a loyal customer! We are glad to see that you are having such a positive experience and we look forward to hearing further feedback on our latest interactivity functionality when you begin to use it. NK Nitish K. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Improvement required in Software." August 5, 2021 4.0 Good Pros All the features are useful but most impactful Multiple widgets. Cons Need to add Multiple social Media Widgets (Fb and Insta \[ Live Streaming, Fb post\], Live Youtube) Reasons and Layout should be easy to use(Need to add some predefined Template). If you can add Caneva Design \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] it should be better for non technical to use. Alternatives considered [Zeetaminds](https://www.capterra.com/p/155060/Zeetaminds/)[Pickcel](https://www.capterra.com/p/174853/Pickcel/)[OnSign TV](https://www.capterra.com/p/147877/OnSign-TV/) Reason for choosing Xibo I will choose xibo because of Offline feature. means I can work on Intranet also. Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you for your review Nitish! We are glad to see that you find Xibo's features so useful and thank you for your valuable feedback. MW Martin W. It Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product, realistically priced, one drawback" August 5, 2021 4.0 Centralised management of signage, even at the site level makes the product brilliant. Pros Incredibly quick to get started with Xibo, especially if they are hosting. Easy to learn, great feature set and great pricing make for an almost unbeatable combination. Cons Only one thing bothers me, and it is a deal breaker. Videos have a one second black screen when looping which makes the presentation look second rate. Have contacted support twice, but cannot resolve. Looking elsewhere as a result... Reason for choosing Xibo Pricing, mature product, stable, great feature set. But that one second of black screen... Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you for your review Martin. We are glad to see that you find so many of the Xibo features positive. We are sorry to hear that you have been unable to resolve the black screen delay. We have recently introduced Gapless Playback to our Android player, which removes this black screen and we aim to be doing this over other players in the near future. In the meantime there are some work arounds, and I hope our support team can work with you to find a suitable solution. RB Ryan B. Project Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Your Flexible, Open Source Signage Solution " August 6, 2021 5.0 Pros Xibo’s supreme flexibility has allowed us to swiftly implement complex API-based scheduling while allowing the marketing team to manage the content without distractions. Add in some very stable player clients, and you have a winning signage product. Cons Some features like synchronized data sets are a little more complex to configure. Administrators who want fine grained permissions will also be disappointed to learn that some things are just not possible (i.e. allowing view only access to the schedule). Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 24, 2021 Thanks for your feedback Ryan! Our latest Xibo v3 release has Features and Sharing which replaces the Permissions model (found in earlier versions) and allows for a more granular access/level of interaction to be set. Please do get in touch with us if you need help moving over to our latest CMS. SP Samip P. Marketing Intern Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An excellent inexpensive product in the market" December 10, 2023 4.0 I am in love with the product for its multiple uses and features that it provides. Pros The product is very user friendly, and the multiple features it has are very useful and the community support to get advices on problems faced has been excellent Cons One problem i personally have faced is that Xibo is very resource intensive as it is difficult to run on some of our older computers. Review Source Laura G. President Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Xibo is a powerful and dependable digital signage platform with many affordable deployment options." January 3, 2019 5.0 Xibo has allowed us to offer a digital signage solution to our customers that has transformed their marketing initiatives and has provided measurable returns on digital signage campaigns. Their customer service is fantastic, and the Xibo team is also available for full customization of custom features. Xibo is highly underrated in the world of big, digital signage companies and software options. Pros Xibo has a very simple pricing structure with options for all budgets. It includes many powerful widgets for free and offers HTML coding for full customization. In addition, the Windows version is open source and free. The Xibo software is very stable, and we find we have minimal issues that are usually fixed with a simple reboot. From digital menu boards, to custom layouts, video walls and dynamic content delivery, Xibo has tools to facilitate all of your digital signage deployment needs. Cons No touchscreen options yet. However, this function is coming soon. Review Source CB Chris B. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Digital Signage Solution for Retail" August 5, 2021 5.0 Pros Xibo is incredibly quick and easy to setup, and once configured and running, it just works. We are using the DSDevices android player, which we have (knock on wood) never had any issues with - not even a reboot has been necessary in over 1 year of continuous use. Content changes happen seamlessly, and always look crystal clear on our 4k displays. Cons We encountered a few minor issues, specifically with limitations of the Android player and it's inability to smoothly loop video segments in the player. We were able to work around this limitation by producing the media to loop outside of Xibo, but this feature would be a welcome addition. It's a very minor nitpick - overall we have been very impressed with the features and stability of Xibo. Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thanks for your review Chris! Glad to hear you are having such experience with Xibo. Please do reach out to our support team who can assist you further with video looping in Android. MF Miguel F. Tec Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Xibo forever" August 5, 2021 4.0 I was researching digital signage software and I discovered the Xibo by chance and it was one of the best discoveries I made. I've been using the Xibo since 2017 and so far it has done everything I needed to show advertising on my screens Pros Ease of use. Schedule. Playlists. Layouts. Cons While creating new regions we can´t see the background image. Reason for choosing Xibo Price and features. Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you for your review Miguel! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with Xibo. BA Benjamin A. Graphic Designer Performing Arts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent open source option for distributed digital signage" January 3, 2019 5.0 Currently use this system to administer the digital signage across a single site, multi-room nightclub venue. Since installing, it has allowed us to reduce our physically printed promotional costs while increasing session awareness. It has also allowed us to introduce dynamic promotions and allow third parties to advertise within the venue which has opened a new revenue stream for us. All of this has been achieved with very minimal cost using existing low end PC hardware as well as low cost Android boxes. A great system that has really helped improve our business. Pros Great centralised management solution for digital signage. Setup of the server using Docker was very straight forward with a concise step by step guide in the manual. User management controls allow easy allocation of assets and screens to the relevant people responsible for updates. While the many options available within layout scheduling does take a bit of time to get your head around, once it has all clicked, it provides a very powerful set of tools to assign assets to screens. Cons The interface can be slightly confusing to a new user. Some concepts don't operate as you would initially think and sometimes require a bit of thought to get your head around. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Technology Manager Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Free and open source digital signage" April 25, 2019 5.0 We decided to implement a digital signage system and were unsure of how it would go over, so we wanted a pilot program. Initially we anticipated Xibo to be only a temporary stand in until we were ready to commit to a more expensive product. As we learned the system and developed content for Xibo, we decided to stick with it, as it is remarkabley customizable and capable if you're willing to put in the effort to develop content. We received many complements on our digital signage and some were amazed the quality and type of content we were able to use with such a low cost solution. Pros Aside from the cost, this is a fully featured digital signage system. This includes the players and browser based content management system. The CMS is pretty straight forward to use and has pretty good granularity when it comes to assigning user roles and permissions. Cons The biggest downside has been the slow development and update cycle. Review Source AS Ashik S. IT Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I just love this digital signage solution." August 5, 2021 5.0 Pros I like the feature of its process of installation & configuration. A user like me (novice) can understand the whole operation process easily. It dayparting helps me a lot to control the displays. We have been using xibo for 3 Years+ in our construction project. It's awesome. Cons Easy to create a layout, Campaign & Scheduling Reason for choosing Xibo My first consideration was the price. It's so cheap. especially no cost for CMS. Love that. The price of the android player is also cheaper than any other signage. We have purchased 5 android perpetual licenses. Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you for your review Ashik! We are glad to see that you are so happy with Xibo. MD Michael D. IT Director Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long time user" August 5, 2021 5.0 I have used XIBO for more than 10 years. I was one of the first users back when the majority of content came from much simpler sources. Xibo for being and remaining mainly open source has always been my goto for content display. Pros Opensource, Some parts are free while others may not be. Great for both the everyday user that knows what they want while still having the paid option of either remote hosting or full support remotely. Cons Have you tried it? One of the most full featured delivery systems out there with MANY years of support and growth behind it. Reason for choosing Xibo Much easier interface to use. COST.....Friendly staff throughout the years. Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you for your review Michael and for being such a loyal Xibo customer! We are happy to see that you have had such a positive experience over the years and we look forward to working with you for many more years. Travis S.

August 8, 2021 5.0 Super easy to setup, and scale. Pros Very flexible, with many options to fit several scenarios of use. Cons Interface can be confusing.

Tech Support Specialist Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best open-source digital signage app" August 5, 2021 5.0 i liked the product and will continue using it. Pros easy to use easy to administer easy to setup Cons so many features are available so sometimes for a basic user, it becomes a bit difficult to understand initially Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you very much for your review AbdulAleem, glad to hear you're enjoying Xibo!

IT MANAGER Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Open, free and powerful" August 5, 2021 4.0 Pros I love the fact that is open source, you can use it for free and there are almost no cost exept for some players. We don't have any monthly costs. There are players for Android, Windows and some Tv OS. Is easy of use and deploy. Cons For our needs there were no big issues, maybe there are some competitors that can have an easier way for rules about contents. Reason for choosing Xibo Open source is better Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you for your review Ivano! We are glad to see that you are enjoying Xibo Open Source.

Sorry to read you feel some of our services fall below expectation. We pride ourselves on our excellent customer support and want to ensure you have the best experience with Xibo possible.

But the team have responded to you as soon as they have returned today and I hope you find this helpful. Thanks Henrique G. Engineer Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great digital signage software" January 21, 2021 5.0 Pros It's an easy to install self-hosted digital signage software. Integrates with RSS feeds, which makes it very easy to show updated headlines along with videos and pictures Cons The layout designer is not as intuitive as it should be. Also, the android app (which we use on an android box) costs 15GBP per display (one-time fee that does not include major updates) Review Source Response from Xibo Signage January 29, 2021 Thank you for your feedback and pleased to hear you had a great experience. We would love to hear more about your experience and how we could make it even better, would you be be happy for us to get in touch? AC Adam C. Business & IT Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent low-cost alternative backed by open source development" August 5, 2021 5.0 We originally used the self-hosted server and players, however the low cost of the cloud-hosted option and Android players has greatly simplified our setup. Pros Xibo is a robust and low-cost alternative to expensive digital signage platforms and has evolved from a small open source project to a reliable SAAS product. Cons The interface can take a little while to learn, although it has improved markedly over the years. Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 24, 2021 Thanks for your review Adam!

Pros The software (CMS in the cloud) is easy to use. And the price is very low, compared to other companys (I have tested a lot, and XIBO is by far out the cheapest). Cons Haven't had any problems so far, that couldn't be solved by the helpdesk, or other mebers of the forum. Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you very much for your review Peter, glad to hear you're enjoying Xibo! MT Marcin T.

MS Milan S. Dr.med.dent. Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Xibo in a dental practice" August 5, 2021 5.0 Easy to setup, good stability and almost flawless workflow. Would recomend all my colleagues who are thinging about implementing an information/signangesystem for their patients. Pros The flexibility to schedule and change different contents. The features in adding other actual information in RSS feeds.. Cons The manuals could be better grouped in one document instead of having to browse through website. Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you for your review Milan! We are very happy to hear that you would recommend Xibo and are happy with the solution. RD Reece D. General Manager - Operations Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affordable cloud based signage" January 3, 2019 4.0 Pros It’s value for money. This is its most attractive feature. The ability to also white label and resell is a major feature why we have chosen to distribute this product in our business. Cons Features and the interface needs some improvement. Upcoming features such as playlists and touch screen ability should fix this. Review Source BP Ben P. Communications Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Full Featured, but hard to train" May 25, 2022 5.0 It does what it says it does very well, but it doesn't get points for being simple. But for someone needing all the features with a low price point, this is the way to go. Pros Xibo lets you make any kind of signage you can dream up to fit your specific needs, and having it self-hosted makes it very flexible and far more affordable than most other options. Cons The user interface is a challenge for me, and I could never fully train people where they didn't make mistakes or have to come to me for help. Reason for choosing Xibo Since we self-hosted, it was much cheaper than alternatives. Review Source NW Nicolai W. CEO Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy setup, easy to maintain" August 5, 2021 4.0 Pros Visual editor and a good amount of pre existing widgets Easy and effective scheduling Simple integration of screens Cons Some setting menus seem more intricate than necessary Reason for choosing Xibo OpenSource, features and good value for price Review Source Response from Xibo Signage August 9, 2021 Thank you for your review Nicolai!
