Considered Both Products
Atlassian Loom
Chose Atlassian Loom
We have used zoom, google meet or youtube to manage our videos in the past. But both did not seem to be as seamless for everyone to use it. Loom came in to provide an easy way for everyone to use video and share screens or communicate in general. Loom integrates with slack and …
Chose Atlassian Loom
Loom: Loom offers both free and paid plans. The free plan includes basic features and limitations, while the paid plans unlock additional functionalities such as longer video recordings, HD quality, and more advanced sharing options. Either way, quite affordable Vidyard: …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I use Loom because everybody knows Loom, and they are more likely to click on the link.
Chose Atlassian Loom
As mentioned before not a team collaboration replacement but a great tool for individual issue resolution and sharing best practice resources.
Chose Atlassian Loom
Loom is great as it is the first in the market. But sendspark is a close second with its pricing and support
Chose Atlassian Loom
I tried other solutions for video feedback and none of them could match how quick and easy the video recording and sharing is on Loom. Also the consistency of the recordings and reliability is crucial.
Chose Atlassian Loom
When we evaluated the alternatives, Loom was by far the most advanced tool, with multiple types of integrations. Additionally, Loom also provided a Free plan, which made it easy to consider as an alternative. Vidyard and similar tools integrated better with certain other tools …
Chose Atlassian Loom
Honestly, before using Loom, I was recording videos from my cell phone and sending them through Whatsapp or Telegram to try to send large file sizes! I know there are other screen recording tools, but Loom's web interface with all the settings just knocks it out of the park for …
Chose Atlassian Loom
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 …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I didn't use any other product like Loom. Skype or Viber just won't work for what I needed. I talked with people who used other products but didn't try one myself. Loom was the first to try and I stayed with it. I was satisfied enough with Loom that I didn't feel like exploring …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I prefer loom to droplr because of its easy interface. I had to take extra time to learn how to become effective with Droplr, while Loom felt self explanatory.
Chose Atlassian Loom
Zoom's recording feature has been helpful before Loom, but I appreciate that with Loom I can go back and re-record something if I made a mistake. It's much easier.
Chose Atlassian Loom
Simplified version of ScreenFlow, not as comprehensive as ScreenFlow in terms of features, but it does the trick for making short training videos. If you just want to capture something on-screen and not do a lot of editing, then Loom is perfect for that. Great for generating …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I tried lots of different screen recording software but ultimately chose Loom because it had the simplest and most user-friendly UI. There are certainly more advanced apps, like ScreenFlow, but my use case is fairly simple—I just want to be able to record video/screen-shares as …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I've used Camstasia and Screen-o-Matic to record screen capture videos in the past. These 2 options at the time didn't have an online platform to upload the videos, so I uploaded it to Youtube or Google Drive so my collaborators could watch them. Loom is easier than them, as it …
Chose Atlassian Loom
Loom solves something that no one else is even trying to solve. Quick visualization of your online experience. Every other solution that records your screen takes time to render the video before it can be shared. Loom is taking the magic of sharing a screenshot of your computer …
Chose Atlassian Loom
Loom is the best video screen sharer that we have come across. Its ease of use and relative value in its free product make it an easy stand out when we went looking for a platform to use. Though there are different video recording platforms out there that can do similar things …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I also use Wistia, which has more functionality around saving and organizing videos. Wistia has a product called Soapbox that is very similar to Loom.
Chose Atlassian Loom
I used to use Zoom to do screen capture video - even I don't have someone else in a video conference - just because it does a good job of creating screen captures. But that's not really what Zoom is designed to do. Now, when I need to do a fast, low-production-value, …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I also have used eCamm and Quicktime for screen-share/screen recordings. All of the tools here require some patch working of a screen recording, uploading the video to a hosting site, and then eventually sending it to the client. Huge time suck!
Chose Atlassian Loom
There are plenty of screengrab / screen recording tools out there. I like loom based on it's simplicity for acheiving regularly occuring challenges. I don't typically need anything heavier, so having this as a quick tool is great!
Chose Atlassian Loom
For desktop recordings, I've only used Quicktime. Loom is overall a nicer looking and functioning tool for recording videos, although there are a couple tools that Quicktime has (like splicing videos and selecting a specific recording size) that I wish Loom had.
Vidyard
Chose Vidyard
Loom is up to par, and I can't say much about that. Bombbomb woefully underperformed. It was good and it worked, but it was slower and trickier to get it working and recording videos.
Chose Vidyard
Vidyard seems to be the easiest to use especially for our sales teams. Our Customer Advocate and Implementation Teams do use CloudApp. It seems similar, but less applicable for sales. Vidyard has awesome salesforce and HubSpot integrations!
Chose Vidyard
Vidyard could definitely take some things away from Pardot. Making the tool as easy to use as possible and also making the integration seamless is of paramount importance. I guess to simplify it, we never really have had issues with Pardot. It seemed like we were constantly on …
Chose Vidyard
Honestly, I chose Vidyard because my influencer contacts in my network recommended it and it was at the time at least integrated with LinkedIn. I really hope you can somehow continue the integration with LinkedIn as that was very helpful and a big factor in me deciding to use …
Chose Vidyard
Very similar. The only thing Loom has in its favor is the free version seems to allow you to download some videos and the embed works better in Notion which is a tool we use for everything.
Chose Vidyard
Vidyard is easy to use, and the feedback is instant when you send the Vidyard, with their name on the whiteboard and your waving hand.
Chose Vidyard
I have previously dabbled in Loom and Vimeo, which have slightly different use cases. Overall I think Vidyard provides the beauty and ease of being able to record your screen directly and can host those videos too.
Chose Vidyard
I used Soapbox for a time by myself and it did some very similar things. It had an easy interface too. But Vidyard was more robust and once we started using it I never looked back.
Chose Vidyard
I have not looked at other products.
Chose Vidyard
We selected Vidyard because Wistia didn't offer as many robust lead generation features and didn't offer as deep of integration with Hubspot. We also wanted to have that main video hub and Wistia didn't have that at all when we were doing this evaluation, though I think they …
Chose Vidyard
Pricing-wise, it's definitely in between the two options above. It offers more capabilities than Wistia and is less expensive than Brightcove.
Chose Vidyard
Have not used anything else, this was the first thing I was introduced to and I never looked elsewhere due to how happy I was with the product.
Chose Vidyard
Our company chose Vidyard, but honestly, after I learned about this tool and started using it, I would have chosen Vidyard over the others. It's easy to use. I love the plugin in my Chrome. It has a more intuitive UI/UX than the others and better analytics (even in the free …
Chose Vidyard
We did not evaluate other tools at the time.
Chose Vidyard
No comparison in terms of sharing and quickly implementing with our current sales and marketing process.
Chose Vidyard
Allego was next to impossible for even our internal team, let alone our team out in the field, to learn and develop. Their support was constant, but we never seemed to achieve anything in our meetings. The product owners at Vidyard have been much more personable and in-tune …
Chose Vidyard
I've used Loom which was fine. Not a tremendous difference that I could tell you about. I've only used the free version of Loom.

Likelihood to Recommend
Loom is literally the best free (or depending on your team size) tool that I have found in recent years honestly. I have a consulting practice on the side where we work in multiple timezones. Im not the best with words or explaining things over email, and im a much more visual person. being able to show somehow how to do something rather than explain it via email is HUGE. Its literall creating the office culture vibe over video, and its exactly what i need to help scale my consulting while also help provide training at my current job.

In my industry, there really isn't a time that I feel would be inappropriate to use the tool. I feel it's most useful to an audience that you haven't connected with yet, however. I think your content is what can get you into trouble. A friend of mine was blocked from a decent amount of prospects after sending a video promoting a happy hour.

Pros
  • They have various integrations and apps, so using it on any platform is easy.
  • They have an easy recording feature - so we don't need training to use Loom.
  • Editing the video once it's made is suer easy on their backend tool - so we don't need to get the video completely right while recording.
  • Their folder system makes it easy to organize videos.
Read full review
  • The UI is really easy to use, especially for new users looking to get up to speed fast
  • On the paid version, I really like being able to download the videos
  • For onboarding new people and explaining processes, I like the playlist feature
  • For sensitive data, I like being able to password our videos
  • I like being able to brand our video player page

Cons
  • 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!

  • It would be great if there could be a manager view so we don't have to give them admin privileges to see their team's vidyard videos.
  • It would be great to be able to see who viewed the video if multiple people are on the email.
  • It would be great if we could make the videos dynamic so that it would insert a person's first name or SL booking based off dynamic fields in SL.

It has been an integral part of both our employees and customers experience. I would highly recommend VidYard to anyone looking for new ways to make their support interactions more personable and efficient. Not only that, but is a huge value add for existing customers of the HubSpot product as well.

Usability
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.

Vidyard does what it is supposed to do, but it takes regular use and adoption to really get any benefit. It is much more beneficial as a 1:1 personal sales video tool than in mass marketing email blast campaigns. The analytics are insightful and the tool has some cool ways to make videos more interactive and branded.

Absolutely, the unpredictable nature of technology always keeps us on our toes. However, I'm pleased to share that my experience with Vidyard has been remarkably consistent and reassuring. To date, I haven't encountered any instances of service outages. This unparalleled reliability and dependability have instilled a high level of confidence in the platform, making it a stalwart companion in our digital endeavors. While the tech landscape can be uncertain, Vidyard's track record of steadfast performance has truly set it apart.

Performance
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.
Read full review
It performs very well. I have never had any bugs while recording, and none of the videos have been impaired or corrupted. I don't believe it integrates with any other software but you could contact the company to learn more. I am not sure if it is only available on Chrome.

Support Rating
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.

Customer support at Vidyard has always been good. When I first looked into the product, the salesperson took a consultative approach that allowed me to see how Vidyard would benefit our specific use case. Since coming on board, the customer service team has been quick to respond if I have any questions.

It's pretty straightforward. The bulk of the work goes on outside of Vidyard - it's the time required to add different videos to your website - that was probably the only difficult part and had nothing to do with Vidyard.

Return on Investment
  • It gives me back 2-3 hours per week in time saved fussing with typing out long emails.
  • Our team and vendors understand us faster and better when we offer revisions and training using Looms vs. trying to type it out - causing better client satisfaction.
  • We still have to use Snagit, though, until Loom gives us still screenshot edit/markup abilities!

  • Vidyard has shown a greater number of email opens when sent to prospects.
  • I believe the ROI for Vidyard has been well received and definitely worth the $$$.
  • We have had a greater number of people attending events when invited through Vidyard. This has led to more opportunities being created.
