Xtensio Reviews

Xtensio is a versatile platform designed for creating professional documents, presentations, and web pages without requiring advanced design skills. The user-friendly drag-and-drop interface allows for easy incorporation of dynamic elements like tables, charts, and lists. Xtensio provides over 200 fully customizable templates, making it accessible for various professional needs. Despite these strengths, the platform's block-based system can restrict flexibility, ensuring that designs remain responsive and consistently branded across devices.

The platform supports real-time collaboration, enabling teams and clients to work together efficiently within shared workspaces. It also ensures brand consistency with tools for creating brand guides and sharing live document links. However, Xtensio lacks AI features that could enhance user experience, such as smart design suggestions or automatic content analysis.

Notable challenges include the absence of a dedicated mobile app, which limits on-the-go feedback capabilities, and delays in customer support responses via chat and email. The white-label solution offered by Xtensio requires users to switch back to the platform for edits and republication under a custom domain, which may not justify the cost difference between pricing tiers.

Initial hands-on experience with Xtensio reveals usability issues such as suboptimal text responsiveness and an outdated user interface, suggesting that further refinements are needed to fully meet professional standards. Despite these challenges, Xtensio remains a robust tool with significant potential, offering features like real-time sharing analytics and user privacy controls that are relevant for businesses.

I tested the product with a couple of clients, it is good and looks professional.

Pros
- professional / business looking
- Responsive
- customizable

Cons
- regular bugs (loading)
- design a little outdated
- most of the usage is through simple tables

Overall I do think it is a good product, assets overpass the cons.

Would need to fix some connection bugs and update the UI.

I tested the "share" function and my client was able to edit the folio. However, he could edit everything in it (i.e. element position, size...). I wonder if it is possible to only allow him to write texte and check boxes, rather than intervene on the display itself?

Started right in with no instructions, tried out some templates, created from a blank canvas, and realized this is very flexible and easy to use. Xtensio works in a friendly visual way for ideation and brainstorming, much more so than other programs I have. Yet they have templates for structured online business documents. I plan to use equally for professional and creative projects. So far, I think this tool is going to be one I use often.

It has good templates but things just don't drag and drop seamlessly. It functions like a website with blocks versus having full autonomy to where you want things to go. That's the only negative so far I've experienced.

I really wanted to love this tool as it worked as expected with some features a bit buggy but it has its potential. I would love to see a mobile app so we can give feedback to our team when I'm on the way to clients. The biggest disappointment was NO SUPPORT. I reached out to them on their chat - nothing. Emailed them - nothing. Left a question in here on AppSumo - answered I should have their email or support chat which I did but nothing. If there is no support then you have nothing in your hands.
