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. ----- ### "Xibo is great for Schools" — 5.0/5 > **Patrick** | *16 July 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how there is both a cloud and on-premise CMS option rather than forcing down just the one route. This helps keep costs low as well as allows for easy scalability. > > **Cons**: 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. > > I love the ease of use and it is a great platform to use in a school environment as a digital signage solution. We are always expanding the use of it and pushing out more screens. We are also now looking to push this out into our MAT. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Nothing else comes close." — 5.0/5 > **Jon** | *10 September 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The flexibility; the ability to schedule .htz and dynamic overlays, which have proved invaluable, giving me opportunities I haven't seen before in scheduling software - I've been doing this since 1989. The Android player is suoer stable. > > **Cons**: Black burst between videos on Windows player really needs resolving as it makes Xibo unsuitable for a commercial environment when there is a requirement for a Windows player. We've found the transition from CMS 3 to 4 quite difficult as it appeared top have a fundamentally different work flow from what we are used to, but everything is settling down now. > > Started using Xibo primarily for large retail estates around 4 years ago, after trying pretty much everything else - including in-house CMS in the 90s. Xibo gives us the flexibility to adapt to different scenarios and requirements, which makes it ideal for prototyping. The automation elements mean we can run large networks without constant intervention. ----- ### "Xibo provides an excellent service for what we need" — 5.0/5 > **Julian** | *4 December 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of display and screen management in an easy to use CMS. As it is cloud based i can make changes and additions to content remotely where ever i may be based. It is also good value to money compared to other services used by our university. > > **Cons**: We have encounter bugs and issues with the hardware which mean that it does need maintenance (simple restarts most often) more often that i can attend to sometimes. We have just updated our setup to the latest version of the android boxes so hopefully it is more on our end that the system. > > Xibo provides an excellent service for what we need, showcasing what we need to promote and advertise products/events to our student market. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/182202/xibo?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
