Pros

“UPshow helps us meet our need for deploying and managing interactive digital solutions efficiently and effectively.”

Dennis M.

Head of Software Engineering

“What I like most about UpShow is controlling our messages in clinics, the ease of updating our screens, its interactivity with Canva, being able to have a Dashboard and even view my playlist in action without having to be in clincis and tracking content in real-time.”

Linda B.

Marketing Communications Specialist

“Love the look of the branding, it exemplifies all the key components that are important to showcasing who we are what we’re about why it matters to our customers.”

Christine S.

Founder

Pros

“It offers extensive customization, flexible scheduling, role-based management, and supports a wide range of media types.”

Fabio C.

Sys Ops team lead

“th fact that xibo is available onpresmise as csm server for most restrictive networks or an as SaaS, it offers a solution that can fit everyone, the licensing is clear , and once the user reads the guide its is really easy to setup the server (csm) and to manage”

Ryan B.

Network and system administrator

“Xibo offers incredible Customization Options; being open-source, there are no limits when it comes to interconnecting real-time databases and displaying dynamic production flows.”

FREDERIC H.

CEO

Cons

“the "tv" and "news" seem a little generic.”

Deva V.

Marketing Director

“The directions I was given were very vague or the communication was very lack-luster.”

Marissa W.

Sales & Marketing Director

“It only pulls from Instagram (and maybe Twitter), doesn't happen in real-time, and can be clunky.”

Patricia D.

Public Relations Coordinator II

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.”

Luiz F.

IT Manager

“Technical support tends to ignore you and any bug complaints unless you're using their hosted option. If you self host you're mostly on your own, and getting a real answer to a problem can take a while if it comes at all.”

Joel D.

Director of IT

“The user permissions I do find are a little granular and not overly easy to manage when needing to setup a new user or when adding in a new folder having to apply the permissions there.”

Patrick W.

IT Technician
