## Reviews

### "Xibo is a great self-hosting signage solution" — 5.0/5

> **Glen** | *22 July 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Xibo is super easy to use. After looking at the cost of other solutions, which are largely moving to cloud-only solutions so they can lock you into to monthly fees, being able to create a Linux Virtual Machine on-prem (for free\!) is an amazing alternative. I can create our weekly signage very easily using Xibo and since I cast to Windows computers behind displays, the licensing cost was also free.
> 
> **Cons**: I originally bought the licensing to have Xibo talk directly to my Samsung TVs but eventually it stopped working well and became a headache, and troubleshooting got harder. So I switched to using Windows computers behind the TVs and that really helped because you get better troubleshooting information from these, and it just seems to work better.&#10;&#10;I do sometimes have issues with the Windows computers showing the desktop bar on top of the signage, things like that, but the more I work on tweaking the computers, the less that is a thing. The App tries its best to keep itself online and on top but could possibly be a bit better there.
> 
> Easy to setup the Virtual Machine if you have basic Linux experience&#10;Minimal maintenance required other than trimming out your old files and updating the VM periodically&#10;Easy to use for the end users

### "Easy to use" — 5.0/5

> **Tommi** | *7 April 2026* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Now its very easy to buy screen, based on label you buy license. Very simple and makes it simple also to sell
> 
> **Cons**: nothing atm , it used to be little more expensive but now its decent price / item. also running server is very good
> 
> we  been very satisfied m we run Server for customers and then 50 screens for 1 customer is very easy to handle and control. also price wise we r in decent amount

### "Using it is a bit frustrating." — 1.0/5

> **Daniel** | *11 June 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to manage advertising screens remotely. There are no clear and concise instructions for scheduling campaigns or slides.
> 
> **Cons**: What I like the least is the difficulty of use and management.&#10;&#10;There are no clear and concise instructions for scheduling campaigns or slides. The tutorials are strange and confusing across the board. The management tool is not user-friendly at all, and there are many repeated concepts (such as the term "scheduling") that are not clearly explained.&#10;&#10;There is no option to allow some slides within the same campaign (for example, a monthly campaign) to expire before others, or to add new slides in the middle of a campaign (such as halfway through the month).&#10;&#10;It forces you to create an entirely new campaign every time something ends (or at least I can’t find any explanation on how to do otherwise).
> 
> Using it is a bit frustrating.  There are no clear and concise instructions for scheduling campaigns or slides. The platform lacks tutorials, user instructions, and an interface in Spanish

### "Excellent value product for digital signage." — 5.0/5

> **Chris** | *7 January 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and reliability. &#10;Remote web access to update screen contents and simple rule settings for the use of added / retired media makes day to day use really fast.
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of ability to set defaults for values.&#10;Working on complex layouts for grids of data being fed in is really fiddly and prone to not saving successfully.
> 
> Excellent. Feels like the people who write it care about it.&#10;Choice made based on price but stayed with it because it just works. &#10;Have integrated with FAW score and match feeds and run two screens promoting football and social events.

### "Resell possibility as MSP" — 5.0/5

> **Ken** | *6 March 2026* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Nice solution hardware in combination with software. Central management, MSP possibility to resell the solution.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing really. It's always difficult the first time to find out how everything works, but once setup for one customer, we can easily do it for the next.
> 
> Good onboarding, Clear for our customer(s), manageable by us as MSP and customer. Nice solution overall.
