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. > > 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. ----- ### "Easy set-up, no annual subscription needed" — 5.0/5 > **Josh** | *5 March 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > It was extremely easybto set up the cms. And the player licenses support android, which is easy to get a hold of compatible boxes. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Xibo just runs efforlessly once you set it up" — 5.0/5 > **Faisal** | *7 January 2026* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "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 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/182202/xibo?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/182202/xibo) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
