Cons

No answers on this topic

Definitely missing the ability (in and easy way) to have clickable links in the video.
Analytics is a little cumbersome and not very user-friendly.

JW Player 9.0

Based on 1 answer

Reliability and compatibility on a majority of platforms. Would have received a 10 except recent versions of browsers such as Firefox are now defaulting against Flash components and thus prompting approval from users BEFORE loading which is a HUGE obstacle to an effective user experience thus creating concerns by end-users unnecessarily and risking that they will NOT accept the prompts, thus leaving unable to view video content hosted using the JW Player. Assurances by JW support suggest they will resolve this, so we'll see...

JW Player 7.0

Based on 2 answers

Support is reasonable. I from time to time have made suggestions on improvements that would be nice to see (like the ability to have a clickable link within the video - that is easy to create, without tons of coding) and it seems as though I never see it happen or get much response to "suggestions" to upgrade the software. The good news, other than a few things as I mentioned above, overall, I don't have many "technical issues" in the platform, which is a good thing. On occasion, I have seen some "issues" with the delivery of the video, but it has been pretty scarce. So it is dependable.

JW Player 7.0

Based on 1 answer

One of the primary features promoted by JW Platform is its SEO definition. However, there did not seem to be a way to integrate that data to our platform if selected thus only leaving the benefits of that data to be established on the individual video page hosted by JW Platform, which isn't useful in the end to the client value we are trying to deliver for our VideoproFile.net solution

JW had more player options, a better/more intuitive user interface, was altogether faster both in rendering the uploaded videos and in time to load on the web page. The integration with OpenX for pre-roll was faster and easier than with Brightcove, and lastly, they offered a great price for service.

Return on Investment

No answers on this topic

JW Player has was less expensive (without sacrificing quality) than our previous video platform so the ROI was instant.
We were easily able to add a variety of video advertising options including pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll.
The quality and consistancy of the look of the video has enabled us to grow our video views by well over 100% since starting with JW.
