Dr.med.dent.

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.

Marketing Intern

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.

IT Systems Engineer III

Over the years an amazing amount of work has been put into making it a very easy to use product from installation to implementation.

Graphic Designer

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.

Owner

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.

Technology Manager

The biggest downside has been the slow development and update cycle.

Technician

There is a lot of features but they are really hard to use and understand.

We decided to implement a digital signage system and were unsure of how it would go over, so we wanted a pilot program.

XOGO Decision Signage

We were looking for a signage solution that would be free and easy to use. Sure, 19€ per device license (permanent, not a subscription!) is not a lot, but not free - since we plan to use it for a longer period of time, this is a minimal cost.

Great and free for own-hosted solution.

Improvement required in Software.

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.

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.

Full Featured, but hard to train

I am in love with the product for its multiple uses and features that it provides.

An excellent inexpensive product in the market

This product allows us to do exactly what we need to do and so far customer service has bee great.

Great Product for Institution with Multiple Locations

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. 

Powerful and user friendly digital signage solution

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.

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.

Xibo is a powerful and dependable digital signage platform with many affordable deployment options.

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.

Excellent open source option for distributed digital signage

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.

Free and open source digital signage

Reliable software that stands up to the best in the industry for 1/10nth the price.

Thank you for your review Travis! We are glad to hear you are happy with Xibo and your feedback is valuable for helping us to continually improve the solution.

Centralised management of signage, even at the site level makes the product brilliant. 

Great product, realistically priced, one drawback

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.

Your Flexible, Open Source Signage Solution 

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.

Great Digital Signage Solution for Retail

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.

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

Xibo forever

Thank you for your review Miguel! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with Xibo.

I just love this digital signage solution.

Thank you for your review Ashik! We are glad to see that you are so happy with Xibo.

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. 

Long time user

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.

i liked the product and will continue using it.

Bien mais pas assez pour rester

Good but not enough to stay

Hi Antoine. 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. I believe you contacted our customer support team on the 02 June with a query. As our team are based in the UK, they were off on 2/3 June due to UK public holidays. But the team have responded to you as soon as they have returned today and I hope you find this helpful. Thanks

Great digital signage software

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? 

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.

Excellent low-cost alternative backed by open source development
