Vimeo is a video experience platform. They enable anyone to create high-quality video experiences to connect and bring ideas to life. They proudly serve their growing community of nearly 300 million users — from creative storytellers to globally distributed teams at the world's largest companies.
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.
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!
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 …
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 …
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.
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.
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
Vimeo has a more secure hosting environment than Facebook Live. We can push to Facebook from Vimeo, so that eliminated the need for Facebook alone. YouTube has too many ad interactions, and too many suggested videos on the sidebar, so the Vimeo site has a cleaner and more …
It is a similar alternative to Vimeo. It is a cloud-based video platform that offers a suite of tools for businesses to manage, deliver, and monetize their video content.
Vimeo is more reasonably priced and a little more user-friendly. Plus, I like the look of it and that I can use it at a price that doesn't break the bank for a small business like mine. It seems to have more features than these other platforms, so you don't have to have so many …
We have used You Tube, but do not like that an add for ANYTHING may pop up before your video plays. In a setting where there are parents/families or members of our leadership group this can and has led to some very awkward moments that we have had to try and laugh off.
Cinesend is a MUCH slicker platform. It integrates well with our website, and provides a much better branded experience. It costs slightly less, and provides much better access to information and user control.
If you have a reasonable level of website knowledge in your company, …
Youtube does not have the ability to livestream from anything other than your computer unless you have more than 1,000 subscribers. Vimeo on the other hand allow you to livestream from mobile, camera etc, you just have to subscribe.
We are currently looking at Dacast as an alternative option to Vimeo for many obvious reasons. However, we have not tried Dacast yet, we will be doing a free trial next week. While they offer a lower storage that Vimeo, and cost about 400 more per year than Vimeo, they offer …
Vimeo leaves ClickMeeting in the dust when comparing compatibility on social media and other platforms. Vimeo has also been proven to be much more customizable. In ClickMeeting for example, video formatting may be changed if a certain font is not recognized by ClickMeeting. It …
We publish our films to Vimeo and YouTube, but our films come first to Vimeo by way of Frame.Io, which is our client editing platform. The videos move over from Frame.Io to Vimeo effortlessly, with longer films moving slowly and shorter films moving quickly. After the films are …
For our business applications, the primary competitor to Vimeo is YouTube, although Dailymotion is arguably a competitor for some of our business applications, though not others. The most complete full-featured competitor for our business use cases is YouTube, and I think Vimeo …
We also use YouTube to publish our films, but that is more for SEO sake than for everyday use. Vimeo is the primary way we share films whether via the direct URL or by sharing the video link on our social media.
We also use Youtube to host our videos, but rely principally on Vimeo for hosting them to our site and sharing them with others. Vimeo has a great feature where it allows you to update a video if you ever make changes to it. While the video file changes, the URL and all embeds …
Vimeo is best suited for internal video sharing and proofing as well as video storage for creatives, such as video editors and marketers. I think most organizations who need a simple, lightweight access-controlled video sharing platform should use Vimeo since it is easy enough …
We've tried YouTube in the past, and it's just not as good as Vimeo. Vimeo is a software that's built for professionals. And while it doesn't have the "marketability" of Youtube, it looks and FEELS better than a traditional YouTube setting, which is quickly becoming a platform …
YouTube was the platform we primarily used previously, after having restrictions and having locked out of a couple of accounts we needed a better platform. We also lost some of our videos. We also have an internal app to track client videos and Vimeo supported it better. With …
The only competitor we've used to Vimeo is YouTube. Both offer embedded players, basic view counts, etc... but Vimeo has (in my opinion) easier customization for embed options, security features, and thumbnail selection. Youtube has a better recommendation system and the …
In higher ed we have a couple of options that integrate directly with our LMS (Blackboard/Canvas) that are comparable. Kaltura is outstanding but it's very expensive whereas I've found Viddler(and YouTube) to be much more simplistic. I've worked with other tools that want to …
I recall that we looked at YouTube and Wistia. We were looking for a solid, no-frills solution to host and embed videos within our application, and Vimeo just seemed to do that the best, and at the best price.
We use Zoom for a lot of recordings (webinars, videos, etc.) but it doesn't stack up to Vimeo Pro in terms of features and functionality. So we just use Zoom for recording purposes now.
In my opinion, Vimeo Pro beats these competing products hands down because it has customizable features and just for video. The other services treat your videos only as files (indistinguishable from other file types except by their extension and preview). The ability to offer …
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.
If you're a small company with one or two employees, I'm sure that Vimeo is great. When it comes to larger organizations and teams, they clearly are treating such customers stepmotherly. You need a basic account in order to be an admin on a Pro-plan team, but you only get basic support (3 days wait). The teams function is riddled with bugs and affects the whole experience. In this case, I would not recommend Vimeo at all.
Image and Branding - Vimeo has always had an edge on design and branding versus its competitors like YouTube. Using Vimeo as a content delivery platform gives the appearance of being luxurious and having a high-end product.
Video Configuration - I've used YouTube through multiple iterations of their video management and configuration options, and Vimeo has continued to beat it hands down, both in ease of use and robustness. I can easily organize my Vimeo videos into tags and playlists while I still struggle with YouTube, where it is quite laborious.
User Interaction - Vimeo allows you to capture user email addresses for email lists with ease, something its competitors have not figured out yet. You can easily split your video into chapters and hyperlink from within the video to other areas, features which competitors like YouTube have in some form but not nearly as easy to use or well-implemented as Vimeo.
Video Analytics - Vimeo has a full-featured analytics suite that helps content creators understand user interaction and engagement with their videos.
Versioning and Collaboration - Vimeo has workflows for video history and for collaboration where you can have a content creator upload a video which enters a pipeline for an editor to approve. I have not used these workflows, but it's pretty cool that they have implemented features like this.
Custom Micro-Sites - I have only ever embedded Vimeo videos in websites that I've created, or sent them as links to clients, but I have seen well-designed micro-sites for content creators built using Vimeo. Overall, Vimeo does design and branding very well. Their micro-sites look much better, visually speaking, than competitors like YouTube whose equivalent feature, the YouTube Channel, just seems dry in comparison.
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.
I usually extract the links of all lectures from the embed code, but now Vimeo is not allowing that feature. Instead, I have to copy the whole embed code and then extract the URL from the embed code separately. This process has become cumbersome and a bit of hassle since I don't need the whole embed code.
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.
The design is clean and intuitive for the most part, which allows for ease of use by both novice and experience users. We are grateful for the ways that the front-end video player is easy to navigate and intuitive to use, and the backend is generally designed the same way. Tools and options are where you expect to find them, and it was easy to navigate the storage on the backend through folders and content filters
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.
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.
Vimeo does well in performance with systems with ease. I have not encountered any issues with loading pages or slowing down in other software or systems.
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.
Terrible support. When I subscribed to Premium we were guaranteed support. However, after the first e-mail I received from them, I never heard from them again. I sent several emails over the course of a couple of weeks acknowledging that due to covid, I did not expect a miracle overnight and that I was keen to work on the issue with them. I have not heard from customer service at all. This is very disappointing. We lost customers due to the poor quality of the livestreams and were left to sort the issue out without their help.
The training experience proved to be tremendously valuable. Our dedicated representative exhibited an exceptional level of helpfulness and patience as she skillfully addressed all of our inquiries. Notably, she went beyond merely answering questions, providing us with a wealth of resources and sharing best practices that are pivotal for our success in utilizing the software.Her guidance transcended the boundaries of a conventional training session, empowering us with insights that extend far beyond the immediate
The online training experience proved to be incredibly valuable. Our dedicated representative demonstrated exceptional patience and unwavering support in addressing our queries and requests, which greatly contributed to our learning process. Their guidance was pivotal in helping us navigate the intricacies of the training, ensuring that we absorbed the material effectively.
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.
Vimeo does provide the legwork of content curation and management of sources. The quality of content is not bad from a viewer's point of view. I think the analytics could use a little bit of improvement, only because my department has a lot of users.
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!
Vimeo is more reasonably priced and a little more user-friendly. Plus, I like the look of it and that I can use it at a price that doesn't break the bank for a small business like mine. It seems to have more features than these other platforms, so you don't have to have so many different platforms just for your video needs.
The product exhibits an exceptional degree of scalability, accommodating diverse usage scenarios across various departments within our organization. This remarkable flexibility has enabled us to harness the software's potential in ways tailored to the unique needs of each team.In particular, the impact on our communication efforts with both potential and existing customers has been truly transformative.
General membership engagement has increased significantly. We are accustomed to 20-35% of users viewing content and that has increased to about 40-60% within the past 5 months.
We have found that linking a Vimeo video where the video can be viewed in-app or on the website is when we see most views, rather than redirecting users to the Vimeo account.
