Overall Satisfaction with Vimeo
My company uses Vimeo to publish our completed videos. After our clients' films have gone through each department (videography, editing, etc.), we publish them to Vimeo and add a description that shares the details of the event such as venue or photographer. We use the Vimeo links as sharing links that allow our clients to share their films with friends and family without having to provide individual download links. All our videos on Vimeo have detailed descriptions, tags, and are added to a few specific showcases. Vimeo allows us to share files easily with people anywhere, especially on social media!
- Vimeo allows us to easily sort our films in to showcases (like folders) for easy filing.
- Vimeo allows us to add tags that help our videos become more searchable on search engines.
- Vimeo allows us to share films easily with clients around the world with a simple URL share.
- Vimeo allows us to set privacy settings for each film so that privacy is always an option for our clients.
- I wish Vimeo's showcases had their own privacy features. If I create a showcase where the videos within that showcase are private, viewers can still see the title of the video and that it exists in that showcase, they just can't watch the actual video. That seems like a big flaw to me... a private video should be totally private and not able to be seen at all by anyone other than the account holder.
- I think the way you publish videos to YouTube could be better! I wish the cover image from Vimeo transferred to YouTube when published.
- Vimeo has had a great positive ROI for us! Our clients love being able to easily share their videos with friends and family via a simple URL.
We also use YouTube to publish our films, but that is more for SEO sake than for everyday use. Vimeo is the primary way we share films whether via the direct URL or by sharing the video link on our social media.

For us to switch to a new platform, it has to prove to be worth it! For us that means easy to use, a guided onboarding, and a real value for our clients.
I'd do a bit more research about all options before jumping on anything.
