Ease of use. It's immediately available straight from your desktop via Chrome. If it's faster to say it than type it, we use Vidyard.
Show engagement. We get immediate alerts when the videos are being watched and re-watched. We regularly see Sales Outreach videos being re-watched more than 10 times. Great lead signals!
The support from the people at Vidyard is great too. Michael has built a great company of really helpful and friendly people.

Cons

Overwhelming layout
Sometimes the program continues to screen record even when it has been stopped, saving way too many videos.

Updating a video within a player shouldn't lose all previous analytics—there should be an option to update the video file with a newer version while retaining previous engagement insights.
Their UI is confusing to use at first (i.e., duplicating players versus duplicating videos).
More customization options for the player controls, not just changing the color.
Bulk actions/templates to change the color or branding across multiple videos at once, instead of one at a time.

I'm definitely going to continue to use the GoVideo app but would want to look around to see if there are better alternatives to create higher quality content and videos for all to see.

Vidyard 9.2

Based on 22 answers

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.

We've never needed to contact support. Not sure if they have it since it's an open-source program.

Vidyard 8.0

Based on 123 answers

I first heard of Vidyard at a marketing conference (INBOUND 2019). I was impressed with the team working at the booth. They were friendly, helpful, and they were able to really show me how Vidyard could help our specific company. I took all that information to the owners when I got back from the conference and it was an easy sell. Since the very beginning, I felt like we were in good hands. We had great people working with us and helping us get everything set up. When there was a new account manager, she reached out (via video message of course) and made it clear that she was happy to help us with whatever we needed.

Alternatives Considered

OBS takes a lot more work to get started with than Google Hangouts, but you get a much more high quality output from it. It even works better with YouTube than Hangout, which is odd since it is also owned by Google. You can not set a poser image on a YouTube live stream when you use Hangouts, but you can with external programs like OBS. You can do so much with layout, like having two video sources on the screen at the same time, any style lower thirds; it is much more powerful.

Comparable to Wistia, their team is dedicated to you growing, you aren't just a pawn. Their product offerings are cutting edge, and in my mind they have a leg up with forming relationships with major platforms on a broad scale like HubSpot and Salesforce.

Vidyard gives us visibility and control over our videos that free solutions don't offer.
We are able to trigger other marketing campaigns based on the results we see from Vidyard, which we weren't able to do before
Figuring out the exact value is not as easy as it should be because of the way you pull reports from Vidyard.
