Read full review Net-Results is very well-suited for small, medium and large businesses. They seem to be more advanced than what a typical enterprise level implementation would require. When selecting a marketing automation provider make it a point to find out the level of integration with Salesforce and other marketing technologies. Do they have pre-built automation modules or does it require building from the ground up? Also ask questions regarding its specific capabilities ... for example: is it a marketing automation provider? is it a CRM provider? etc

Read full review Pros Responsive HTML5 Provides share functionality built into the player Platform use enables playlist functionality and playlist players which can be customized or versioned for specific uses Videos uploaded to the JW Platform automatically provide multiple image frame options for selecting video thumbnail Read full review Automated emails in a drip campaign that Sales can remove people from. Lead scoring and alerts that go right to the lead owner. Weekly reports to each Sales person with their hottest lead. Very finely tuned segments that can be used for alerts, emails, and scheduled reports. Integration with Salesforce. The Sales team can basically trigger their own emails. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Forms: Would love to have dependent fields, also ability to see all data a user entered without having to create a custom field for every form. Campaign branching: Criteria need to be selected one at a time, which can be very time-consuming. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Just made the decision to renew given demonstrated improvements being made to the platform to expand compatibility for its player use on devices such as Apple TV, as well as improvements made recently to its JW Platform Dashboard
Read full review Net-Results does what we need and is straightforward to use. Their team has been very responsive to our requests and great to work with.
Read full review Usability 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...
Read full review Net Results is pretty easy to use and understand. I wouldn't say that it is the best in comparison to MailChimp's drag and drop email builder, but Net Results do so much more than MailChimp that it is hard to even compare the two. Overall Net Results has good usability
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.

Read full review We've used ClickDimensions and Marketo. We felt that ClickDimensions was more limited as far as creating effective email campaigns and not as easy to use. It also is completely native to Dynamics CRM, which can be a positive and a negative. Marketo was the previous solution we owned, we are much happier with Net-Results. It's easier to use, not as complex and there is much better communication from their support team. When looking at a new solution we also looked at Act-On and Hubspot. Act-On probably would've been our second choice, but it didn't have as modern of a feel and wasn't quite as easy to use. Hubspot didn't really fit our business. It was very focused on SEO and blog posts. It didn't have the features we needed from a marketing standpoint
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Stronger re-engagement rates - The buy cycle for our product can be very long. Net-Results helps us keep in touch with prospects that may have gone cold. Better asset utilization - Net-Results helps us drive continuous utilization of our assets. Efficiency - The automation Net-Results has provided means we can focus on other tasks, like creating new assets or building new partnerships. Read full review ScreenShots
