Xtensio Reviews

This is simple and easy to use. Perhaps too basic when compared to visme or other living boards. Ideally I'd like to be able to have greater control over files added and more designs. Rounded and block patterns with an ai element in the future would be great. I wonder what's in store..

This is one of those purchases you make for the platform's potential and the pleasure of seeing it evolve into something extraordinary. Right now, the platform is basic and probably better suited for beginners. What I like about Xtensio:

I like the intuitive drag-and-drop interface, which makes creating professional-looking documents relatively easy, even for users without design experience.

It offers a good selection of templates for various business documents like proposals, reports, case studies, agendas, etc. that can be customized to fit your brand and specific needs.

It is interactive and good for collaboration. You can embed images, videos, and interactive elements like tables and charts to make your documents more engaging and informative.

The documents are "living" documents that can be updated and revised easily, a significant advantage over static PDFs or Word documents.

You can share documents via a unique link, present them live, and even track engagement metrics.

Documents created in Xtensio are responsive and adapt to different screen sizes (desktops, tablets, and smartphones).

With some improvements, Xtensio could solidify its position as a leading platform for creating and collaborating on business documents, attracting a wider user base, and providing greater customer value. These are my suggestions:

1. Enhanced Offline Capabilities:

Allowing users to edit documents offline and then sync changes when reconnecting would be a major improvement and would particularly benefit users like me who travel frequently or have unreliable internet access.

Improving the offline viewing experience beyond just exporting as a PDF.

2. More Granular Collaboration Features:

Offer more granular control over user permissions within a document. For instance, the ability to assign different editing or commenting rights to specific sections of a document.

A more detailed and user-friendly version history that allows users to revert to earlier versions or easily compare different versions side-by-side.

Integration of task assignment and project management features within the platform.

3. Integrations and Automation:

Expanding integrations with other popular business tools, such as CRM software (Salesforce, HubSpot), project management tools (Asana, Trello), communication platforms (Slack, Microsoft Teams), and more.

Providing a robust API to enable developers to build custom integrations and automate workflows.

4. Content and Design Enhancements:

Continuously adding to the template library, focusing on industry-specific templates and more diverse design styles.

Offering more advanced design options, such as custom font support, more control over layout and spacing, and the ability to create more complex animations.

Integrating AI-powered features to suggest relevant content, improve writing quality, and optimize for readability.

Built-in image editor so that uploaded images can be cropped and edited without leaving the application.

5. Enhanced Analytics:

Providing more detailed analytics on document engagement, such as time spent on each page, click-through rates on interactive elements, and viewer demographics.

Allowing users to integrate their Xtensio documents with Google Analytics for even more comprehensive tracking.

6. Improved Accessibility:

Ensuring full compliance with accessibility standards (WCAG) to make the platform usable for people with disabilities.

I was just working on our company profile when I noticed Xtensio. I'm now on tier 3 and not sure whether it's a deal for me or not.

What I like is the interactive way my presentations can be shared with our partners. It also seems pretty straight forward to create a quick presentation for sharing.

What would make this tool a powerhouse for me...
1. More design option. My designs so far use rounded corners, but that doesn't seem to be available in Xtensio.
2. I do not see any way for my viewers to download the presentation for their own use. Of course I can create a download link at the end myself.
3. I'm not sure if the developers have thought of this but there's a huge opportunity for this in combination with APIs. Having the presentation served with interactive data would make this tool incredibly powerful.
4. If the presentations had some form of logic in them it would be even better. Meaning, if my audience gets a question about they use our product, then based on that they would get to see a different part of the presentation. Combined with automations this would allow me to show the same presentation to different groups and serve them exactly what they need.

Unfortunately, design wise I can do more in Canva so there's still a lot of room for growth.

Loved the collection of templates and overall solution is wellthought.
I defintely see strong use case in my workflow as a product manager.
Only feedback i have is since we are so accustomed to AI content generation these days it will be nice if you can implement few LLms inside templates to smoothen the content update process.
Eager to hear what's your view?

Our non-profit organization purchased the Tier 4 version of Xtensio.

Very happy with what it offers and what it can do.

Xtensio offers a very wide range of practical templates that can be used for any project -- whether for-profit or non-profit.

Customization is easy and versatile.

It even allows us (at Tier 4) to create our own templates for our members and colleagues, exactly as we want them in content, format, and style.

Xtensio-created "documents" (called "folios") can be presented as slide shows.
Our documents/folios can be published to our chosen custom domain which helps promote our "brand".

The documentation and knowledge-base provides enormously helpful, well-explained information on the function and value of each kind of template, which is an education in itself, as we've discovered many types of documents/folios that we hadn't thought of using, and now see the value in doing so.

Xtensio's support people -- including Alper, the founder of Xtensio -- have been truly outstanding. Responsive, clear, helpful, patient, friendly.

Our organization's president hopped on a videoconference call with Alper to get some clarification on how we might use Xtensio and after the call was full of praise for both Alper and the Xtensio platform, commenting: "Very focused and dedicated to excellence".

This sort of platform is new to us, so we don't have a point of comparison. But we're confident it's going to help enhance both the communication and development of ideas and clarity of thought and planning.

Top-notch platform run by top-notch people.

Five tacos, easily.
