Any communication that needs to be executed can be done via Loom. Loom simplifies communication by providing video and audio inputs, which minimizes the amount of time it takes to communicate something and reduces any potential misunderstandings for us. We use Loom quite extensively in our day to day operations - 1. We have Software for which bugs, feature explanations, and design walkthroughs for our internal team are communicated through Loom videos. 2. We also service clients' development requirements, for which we use Loom to communicate development feedback and bugs using Loom. 3. We also teach the service clients how to use certain tools/elements online, which we use Loom to document. 4. We have recently started using Loom for product walk-throughs as well.

Our content marketing team easily turn their blog posts into quick and short videos, perfect for sharing on social media. The videos can be turned from a blog post or online article into a slick video in under an hour, and look just as professional as videos created in Adobe software or on iMovie.

Cons
Loom, Inc
  • The video trim feature has improved a lot recently, but it's still not perfect. Sometimes when I trim a video clip, it distorts other parts of the video.
  • It would be nice if they had a referral/affiliate program. I would get all my friends to sign up!

Usability
Loom, Inc
It's dirt easy for the one thing it does exceptionally well. If you think, "hmmm, I should make a quick screen capture of this thing on screen, you can start recording in seconds with almost no additional effort." Once you're done, the recording is automatically uploaded to your account site, and automatically creates a URL you can copy and share with your target audience. From IDEA to EXECUTION to DISTRIBUTION is literally seconds.

Performance
Loom, Inc
Loom is one of my favorite solutions and I've been a raving fan since they first launched. The value of quickly sharing videos in seconds is amazing. Our customers love it so much that they have even downloaded the Loom Chrome extension for their own use with their clients! It's so simple, and nothing else compares or competes.

Support Rating
Loom, Inc
I use Loom for simple tasks. Never used customer support really. It's so simple to use. I haven't had any real issue with Loom which would require customer support to help me out. So I just put 5 because I don't know if the customer support is good or bad since I never used, so I'm kind of neutral.

I selected Loom because of product superiority and intuitiveness. Loom has high quality videos compared to others, the Freemium tier is very exciting in Loom. Loom is a multipurpose tool that comes to our help in many areas- whereas other tools are more focused on a specific vertical like sales/ marketing/ learning.
