Responsive portal. Competitive pricing. Pretty flexible setup. Support is quick to respond. > > **Cons**: With customizing power comes complexity. I'd like more up-to-date training and some kind of "Basic" mode for less advanced users. I'd also love some more examples of advanced layouts that I could look at and show to team members for inspiration. > > Overall its a solid system and it gets the job done for us. The issues we do have are as much to do with the computers it runs on as anything for the most part, though we have had a few webpages layouts that have thrown us for a loop. ----- ### "Excellent value product for digital signage." — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *7 January 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and reliability. Remote web access to update screen contents and simple rule settings for the use of added / retired media makes day to day use really fast. > > **Cons**: Lack of ability to set defaults for values. Working on complex layouts for grids of data being fed in is really fiddly and prone to not saving successfully. > > Excellent. Feels like the people who write it care about it. Choice made based on price but stayed with it because it just works. Have integrated with FAW score and match feeds and run two screens promoting football and social events. ----- ### "Great usability, but extremely rigid billing system" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 August 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Powerful and flexible signage platform" — 5.0/5 > **Fabio** | *16 July 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Xibo provides excellent value for money, especially as a self-hosted digital signage platform. It offers extensive customization, flexible scheduling, role-based management, and supports a wide range of media types. The CMS is feature-rich and scalable, making it suitable for managing large numbers of displays. The active community and regular updates make it a strong open-source alternative to expensive commercial signage solutions. > > **Cons**: The initial deployment and configuration can be challenging, particularly when using Docker and SSL certificates, if you are new to it. Some advanced features have a steep learning curve, and troubleshooting player synchronization or playlist behavior can require significant technical knowledge. The user interface is functional but could be more intuitive for first-time administrators. > > Overall, Xibo has been a reliable and cost-effective digital signage solution. After the initial setup, it has proven stable and capable of managing multiple displays efficiently. The flexibility to self-host, customize layouts, and integrate with existing infrastructure makes it an excellent choice for organizations with in-house IT expertise. While deployment requires technical experience, the long-term benefits and low licensing costs outweigh the initial complexity. ----- ### "Cost-effective solution for digital advertisement." — 4.0/5 > **Paco** | *4 December 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/264773/xibo?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/264773/xibo) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
