    Pixelied
    Pixelied is an online graphic design suite that makes it easy to create posters, ads, and branded designs for blogs, social media, and other publishing platforms. I am utilizing Pixelied to promote my social media accounts and to get thumbnails created for my YouTube channel. I use the photo filters to adjust the color of my photos, the mockup generator to piece together images with different backdrops, and the stock images and vector elements collection to add more detail and dimension to my designs. The templates allow me to create banners, image posters, and quotes. I found it easy to use because I could edit my own content without having to learn advanced design features. The templates helped me get started quickly and had everything I needed, from fonts down to icons. The photo filters were fun—they gave me an idea of how photos would look with different colors or patterns applied before I actually used them on my final designs. The only thing I didn't like about this tool was that adding images could slow down a layout if there were too many of them at once (like when you're trying to make a collage).

    For companies that want to integrate their videos into actionable steps like behavioral follow up through a CRM, Wistia is the best tool to use. You can automate your systems to track when a video is viewed, engaged with or how long a person has been watching along with heatmaps to show where people were most interested and least interested so you can adjust your videos to optimize their performance.

    Cons
    Pixelied
    • Performance can become sluggish, particularly when adding new photos or vector elements to the layout design.
    • Pixelied can incorporate a broader assortment of creative stock assets, similar to Canva.
    • The options for modifying the composition's color scheme, adding customized elements, and personalizing the brand can be enhanced.
    • The basic options for moving, scaling, and rearranging layers and backgrounds should be accessible by right-clicking in the composition itself rather than through tool sets in the upper right sidebar.

    • Obtaining embed codes for a significantly large number of videos can be very time consuming as there is no way to automatically pull a report.
    • Within a project, there is no way to set the list to show a specific number of videos and you may only have a certain number of videos shown unless you click to expand the list and continue to do so.
    • Once the list is expanded and you click in to a video, when clicking back, the list reloads and you must expand the entire list again which can become very time consuming.

    Wistia is super easy to use and very reliable, anytime a video needs to be updated, the existing media can be replaced, but the url remains the same so anywhere this media is shared or embedded, it is immediately updated. Their support is extremely helpful, and there is very rarely any issues with this product.

    Great, simple, usable product. Would have given it higher marks, but sometimes the folders and permissions aren't the most intuitive. Interface for uploading, tagging, describing videos is simple. Sharing is also relatively intuitive. Overall, a clean and simple interface and most of our marketing team had no issues using it. I think it was easier than using Vimeo.

    I have never had any technical issues with Wistia. The service is fast and reliable. video play back begins as soon as a few seconds of video have buffered. The stats are accurate and available within a few hours of current use. I have integrated it with Marketo and found that the integration is clean and is easily incorporated into the campaign logic flow. (ex. If the user played more than 50% of the video, do Action-A, otherwise do Action-B.

    We have only had to reach out to Wistia support a handful of times in the 4 years we have been using Wistia. They have always been quick to respond and help us solve the problem. The system is self-service so there should be very little to no need to reach out to support on a regular basis.

    Alternatives Considered
    Pixelied
    Pixelied offers a more straightforward and brisk workflow for designing and editing images compared to Canva and VistaCreate. This is despite the fact that Pixelied has a somewhat more limited choice of stock photographs and vector elements, in addition to readymade design templates. Additionally, it lacks several fundamental features and functionalities, such as the capability to personalize the different layers and color themes. It also has a restricted number of color themes. Pixelied, in contrast to InVideo and OFFEO, does not yet have any animation or video editing features. However, it does have the capability to design image layouts that can serve as a base for video slideshows and presentations, and it does offer photo mockups. Pixelied is an alternative to 123rf that provides an in-built stock photo and vectors library that is included in the subscription price. Additionally, you do not have to pay an extra fee for each new image that you download. 123rf, on the other hand, is a dedicated website for licensing and downloading stock images; therefore, its collection and diversity are significantly more extensive than those of Pixelied.

    Wistia is for business. Period. Vimeo has none of the benefits for a business that Wistia offers. The SEO value and SUPER FAST playback speed are essential. Wistia has it all. Personally, I can rarely get thought a video if hosted on Vimeo because of the glitchy playback and slow rendering.

    • Doubled lead capture from lead magnet on website from one year to the next.
    • Increased email interaction on newsletters when embedding Wistia video thumbnail into email campaigns (10-15% links clicked bumped to 30-40% links clicked).
    • Can save us about 50+ hours of one-on-one client meeting time per year for pointing clients to video content rather than presenting the same info in a live setting.
