Product Details

What is MadCap Xyleme?

Xyleme offers a two-in-one Component Content Management and Corporate Learning Content Management solution. Xyleme’s product enables users to create, store and use content easily with robust version control and security features keeping content safe and accurate. Content access can be controlled with fine-grained detail limiting access to only those who it is intended for. Administrators also have the possibility of guarding access by using IP whitelisting, single-sign on (SSO), or can allow anyone to access the content with the public access option.

Component Content Management

Xyleme offers users the convenience of managing all of their content in a single, centralized location. Content authors can author and store content components in XML format with version control in order to ensure that content remains consistent across all publishing platforms. Components can be easily added and reused across multiple outlets with the Xyleme’s content linking feature eliminating the need to copy and paste content multiple times saving time and ensuring information accuracy. Xyleme boasts omni-channel publishing meaning that users can push content to web pages, chatbots, PowerPoints, Word documents, among other platforms with a single click. Users can also collaboratively work on documents in real-time boosting productivity and further ensuring information consistency.


Xyleme also supports content users in addition to content creators. With its granular tagging feature, users can quickly search and find the content they need. They can search based on content features such as role, region, product, language. Xyleme also comes equipped with responsive web templates that ensure readability no matter what device content is accessed on.

Learning Content Management

Xyleme, in addition to being a Component Content Management System, possesses several functionalities directly related to Learning Content Management. Xyleme comes with a Learning Records Store (LRS) making it easy for learning content creators to store their materials and for learners to access them. Companies can easily add custom branded learning portals as well making the information even more visible. As a supplement to the content itself, Xyleme also provides a tool for creating, implementing and completing activities and assessments. All of this content is centrally stored and can be leveraged with Xyeleme’s extensive analytics dashboard wherein stakeholders can see how users are engaging with their content and how the content is performing overall.


Furthermore, Xyleme’s Learning Content Management solution can be integrated easily with a Learning Management System. However, a Learning Management System is not required in order to take advantage of Xyleme’s feature-rich environment. Data and content from Xyleme can be easily exported to other business tools with its built-in xAPI integrations.

Valuable Cost Savings: Multiple users have stated that Xyleme is a valuable tool for converting training content into eLearning, saving them approximately $250K per year in printing and shipping costs.

Simplified Content Management: Many reviewers appreciate Xyleme's single repository for all training content, which simplifies the process of sharing, reusing, updating, and archiving materials. This feature has made it much easier for users to manage their training materials efficiently.

Efficient Content Reuse: Several users have praised Xyleme for its ability to publish a single content piece to multiple output profiles, allowing for efficient reuse of content and saving time and effort in the development process.

Learning Curve: Users have experienced a learning curve when it comes to using Xyleme's platform templates and design features. Some users have found it challenging to adapt their team's individualistic behaviors into a shared, standardized space. They also mentioned that the rigid templates are time-consuming to get used to.

Limited Reporting Capabilities: Users would like more advanced reporting capabilities in Xyleme to make better business decisions. They desire additional tools and features for reporting, as they feel there are still opportunities for improvement in this area, especially in demonstrating the value of the platform to their business.

Web Editor Limitations: The web editor in Xyleme is too focused on single document authoring and lacks a comprehensive view of the entire learning repository. Users find the web editor clunky and unintuitive, with a dated UI design lacking modern shortcuts. They also mention that certain UI solutions/elements are unintuitive even after regular use of the tool.

I use Xyleme for developing digital self-paced learning content/courses, and for content governance and content reuse across teams within Communications and Learning department.
  • content reuse (linked content modules). Update content block in one place and it updates in all the other places where this block is used (linked)
  • easy to train on and onboard new team members
  • flexibility of output templates
  • web-based tool - easy to develop directly from browser
  • several features advertised as device agnostic or mobile friendly do not work properly on mobile
  • finicky in many ways, sometimes you need to tinker with details for to long to make things work properly
  • many UI solutions/elements that are not intuitive at all (even using the tool almost every day you need to make effort to remember how things are done)
Well-suited:
  1. Building and keeping up to date modular content (blocks).
  2. Maintaining and updating large content library where meaning team members might be working on the same content but using the content in different context (e.g. learning and internal comms).
  3. Creating learning content by new/recently onboarded team members.
  4. Create simple learning courses with some level of interactively, medium interactivity (tabs, image maps, slider reveal images), create different types of knowledge checks/assessments from multiple choice to drag and drop activities); embed videos and other HTML elements .
  5. Integrate with LMS, apply SCORM rules etc
  6. Better to use in combination with other media creation tools like Vyond, Storyline. Some things can get tricky (compatibility).
Less appropriate:

1. If you need to build highly interactive learning experience
2. When you don't have a team member you can dedicate specifically to customize templates in Xyleme for your organizational needs (looks, functionality etc.) or and to train team members on this software. You'd need someone on your team to collaborate with Xyleme closely to customize functions for your organization's needs.
3. When #2 and you want a modern/in trend looking output and not willing to compromise on what it looks and feels.
  • train and onboard new learning developers on the team quickly and get them started to create courses
  • ROI - don't have access to this information
