xibo Reviews

Free (as in beer) and open-source; it's great that you can run it on a VM server and just be up and running in literally minutes if you're familiar with similar software as well as Linux in general.

The Windows client software is free but can't be auto-updated from the server. No client for Raspberry Pi, even if you run Ubuntu on the Pi - there's just no version of the client for ARM at all. Well, there might be; but it's not a free one. Some of the design options are a little convoluted for general use. Create a slide 'layout,' then add empty 'regions' to put each 'content piece' in is more complex than the needs I have of the system. I recognize situations where that level is of great benefit but for my needs I'd love to just drop the content pieces directly onto the slide instead of needing to make 'regions' for them first.

Xibo is an excellent low-cost solution for putting employee notifications from different departments (HR, Safety, etc.) out to every department in our facility.

Xibo helps to manage users, different channels and a lot of other functionalities. If you've ever used a software like movie-maker, which includes timeline, and adobe pagemaker, to arrange the layout of your page, you will easily get along using Xibo CMS. It is easy to use and understand. However, when you add the elements (your images, videos or such presentation items) you will not be able to see them before you hit the preview. In preview, everything appears as you planned and placed in the layout. It is responsive to the device and gives you a very good result.

- While the use of CMS is very comforting, at times, the multiple functionality may confuse new users.

- You get a 14 days free trial of Xibo apk to install on your TV or device but this seriously needs to improve the licensing process. Simply after purchasing the license and adding it was a tough job and had to go through the documentation.

It doesn't take a professional or months of experience to use Xibo but it definitely takes some time for the first time setup. It is better to save your time by checking some documentation at first or watching a few youtube videos about Xibo.

I like that Xibo is easy to use (once you learn the terminology for everything) and even easier to install. It gets used daily for postings across the facility and allows for multiple types of infographic slides.

Xibo can be very confusing for new users, especially when it comes to correctly building layouts

Xibo is solving the issue of lack of signage software thats free

Xibo is an innovative digital signage software manufactured to take full advantage of the striking and dynamic screens, which allows me to create personalized digital signage for indoor or outdoor displays that far exceeds what older screens and frames are capable of. They have a large number of positive features that attribute their benefits such as having an open source player, established platforms, flexible content, cloud storage, advanced design and widgets.

Xibo is a software without a doubt very fast and stable but it has some things that are very complicated to do. For example, if you have a large number of customers, you will not be able to track the content because the PROGRAM screen is not easy to use, you have to do a lot of steps to achieve something simple like uploading a plug-in to a screen, among other types of things. although it is true that it has been well received by the cyber community its complexity can be a point of conflict.

Patience is something that people are short of, especially when they are in a hurry to get effective signage. but if you are willing to really learn it thoroughly, no doubt Xibo will not disappoint you. and what I find most important to highlight is that it is totally free and always have constant updates

We use the open source software package to present informational screens around the workplace. It took a bit of trial and error to configure the back-end server and work fine, but it wasn't xibo's fault.

Digital signage solition is a viable option although are some hoops to jump through to get things to function properly .

The learning curve to get multiple setups and time is not the best and easy as yodeck

We didnt have a proper solution and this met our needs at the time
