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. ----- ### "A Reliable and Cost-Effective Digital Signage Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Hugo** | *4 December 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Method to host content on screens - with out monthly cost" — 5.0/5 > **Pradip** | *6 May 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: That i can self host it. Easy to upload and schedule screens, expire screens all from my mobile phone. > > **Cons**: Licensing per android device. Didnt seem easy to create content from templates, have to do the design urself > > Works pretty well if you design or own screens. Does what u need it to do with out month to month expenses if you self host ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Great Improvements, But Pricing Could Be More Competitive" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *7 April 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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 > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/264773/xibo?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
