Likelihood to Recommend Streamlabs is perfect for generating multimedia content with common elements such as cell phones, web cameras, PC screens, etc. By allowing video from multiple sources to be shown at the same time, it is perfect for example for technical product demonstrations. In the scenario described, parcticity is prioritized. However, if the proposed scenario is to generate high-quality multimedia content, you should use professional equipment for video, sound and editing.

Read full review Vimeo is much better for Live-streaming than other software or hardware based solutions. The Livestream Studio app runs on Macs and PCs with almost any hardware configuration. It allows you to have unlimited hardware HD and 4k inputs. 3 GFX channels and 3 media playback channels along with configurable outputs while streaming. The most unique tool is the remote guest feature which has a type of zoom function built in so you can have remote speakers join a livestream and easily hear, see, and interact with the program. This software can transform an iMac into a video production truck run by one person.

Read full review Quality streaming of video - few if any hiccups. Embed options that allow for customization of video. Option to limit viewing to just one domain, so users can't share the video link with others who have not paid for the content. Easy upload process. Read full review Cons Sometimes CPU resource consumption is a bit high. Although it is understandable some functions are restricted to the PREMIUM version.

Read full review The editing features are very basic for an archived event, work for us most of the time but can be clunky. Read full review Usability The layout is inconsistent for different parts of the platform, it takes a very long time to find specific settings. Labels aren't clear sometimes - not to the first-time/average user. They actually just changed the interface with zero warning or tooltips and had to contact support to get it back to the version our teachers are familiar with.
Read full review Support Rating Generally Vimeo is fast to respond to support tickets with more or less the answer to the question/problem with documentation and clarity in the answer. Usually only takes on message to solve the issue.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Although Adobe Premier Pro is a product for video professionals, it did not present the possibility of performing LIVE as Streamlabs, in addition to the fact that Adobe is a paid version exclusively. Streamlabs was more in line with our objectives as it is a tool aimed at the common user and not just professionals.

Read full review Vimeo is awesome because it is a seamless experience that blends software and a cloud platform and end user experience. No other competitor offers a holistic solution the way Vimeo does. With other platforms you have to piece together multiple pieces of hardware and software and even with those pieces you don't get the same ease of use and performance that Vimeo gives you with their software and cloud solution
Read full review Return on Investment Even though it is a free Open Source software, the features have been excellent. Jose Perri Director of Engineering and Product Development
Read full review Positive ROI - the pricing is better than other comparable services with a better end result. So, the return on investment is significant since it is an inexpensive way to deliver what I need to my program users. Positive - their 30 day trial period is so helpful to be able to determine if this is truly a good investment for you/your business. I was able to do all that I needed to within the first 30 days for live video, then continue with keeping the embed links with the continuing monthly subscription. Positive - good analytics within the account (not Google Analytics with my level of subscription) so I can see how many users are viewing my videos, what devices they're on, and where they are in the world. This is all important for my business. Read full review ScreenShots
