    Crowdcast does a great job with live webinars and is one of the top ones available. They have continually improved the product and are coming out with a version two now with a cleaner, easier to use interface with some really cool features. The platform works well and most importantly the live webinars come in clearly and almost never fail. In the past year, things have worked very smoothly which is really a relief. As anyone who does lots of live videos knows, it's crucial to have a smooth, easy-to-use piece of tech that doesn't fail like Crowdcast. Chat comes in a lot better and the features are cooler than Zoom Webinars.

    Vimeo is much better for Live-streaming than other software or hardware based solutions. The Livestream Studio app runs on Macs and PCs with almost any hardware configuration. It allows you to have unlimited hardware HD and 4k inputs. 3 GFX channels and 3 media playback channels along with configurable outputs while streaming. The most unique tool is the remote guest feature which has a type of zoom function built in so you can have remote speakers join a livestream and easily hear, see, and interact with the program. This software can transform an iMac into a video production truck run by one person.

    • Embed options that allow for customization of video.

    • The editing features are very basic for an archived event, work for us most of the time but can be clunky.

    The layout is inconsistent for different parts of the platform, it takes a very long time to find specific settings. Labels aren't clear sometimes - not to the first-time/average user. They actually just changed the interface with zero warning or tooltips and had to contact support to get it back to the version our teachers are familiar with.

    Generally Vimeo is fast to respond to support tickets with more or less the answer to the question/problem with documentation and clarity in the answer. Usually only takes on message to solve the issue.

    WebinarJam got really bad the last couple of years we used it (2 years ago). Crowdcast support has been better and doesn't fail like WebinarJam. Facebook had a bunch of issues as well and isn't the ideal solution in my opinion. Zoom Webinars provide a great video feed, but the chat options and overall functionality are limited.

    Vimeo is awesome because it is a seamless experience that blends software and a cloud platform and end user experience. No other competitor offers a holistic solution the way Vimeo does. With other platforms you have to piece together multiple pieces of hardware and software and even with those pieces you don't get the same ease of use and performance that Vimeo gives you with their software and cloud solution

    • Positive ROI - the pricing is better than other comparable services with a better end result. So, the return on investment is significant since it is an inexpensive way to deliver what I need to my program users.
    • Positive - their 30 day trial period is so helpful to be able to determine if this is truly a good investment for you/your business. I was able to do all that I needed to within the first 30 days for live video, then continue with keeping the embed links with the continuing monthly subscription.
    • Positive - good analytics within the account (not Google Analytics with my level of subscription) so I can see how many users are viewing my videos, what devices they're on, and where they are in the world. This is all important for my business.
