Considered Both Products

Chose Sendspark
Anytime we onboard a new client Sendspark sends all customer's details back to Hubspot. This is so handy as it's an automated process. If you prefer to use Zoho then no problem. It's in Sendspark as well. It would be great to use webhooks and API. But it's coming very soon.
Chose Sendspark
Loom provides all basic features of screen recording software but because they are established now, they sometimes fail to work on customer feedback while Sendspark is always innovative e.g one of the life-saving features is a link to share with customers to record their …
Chose Sendspark
No brainer. Stick with what is easy, has great customer service, and more functionality to be unique to your brand. Sendspark is the way to go for simplicity and the pricing is more affordable.
Chose Sendspark
Virtually all other video platforms have more functions, more functionality, more integrations, and more ways to customize everything. The only exception is (possibly) Vidyard. Layers of complexity lead to inertia. That leads to plenty of excuses to not incorporate video into a …
Chose Sendspark
Former user of BombBomb. In fact, let my account lapse when I discovered how much easier this product was to use (and cheaper).
Chose Sendspark
Simpler and easier to use. Users are not intimidated when using Sendspark because it's less complicated.
Chose Sendspark
While Sendspark has a bit less functionality than popular rivals such as Loom and CloudApp, its affordability and simplicity have ultimately caused us to stick around. We are confident with the continued upgrades and functionality Sendspark is developing, it will continue to be …
Chose Sendspark
Pretty much similar in terms of delivery and usability. Both have a free version. But I like the flexibility of storage on demand as well as the UI seems to be more adaptable with Sendspark. In terms of functionality there is room for improvement thought but it is still early …
Chose Sendspark
Sendspark's ease of use and animated gif generation are two distinct advantages of this platform.
Chose Sendspark
So far I love it and cant compare it to other software.
Chose Sendspark
Sendspark is much better than Loom:
- CNAME
- Complete white label
Chose Sendspark
I've used Loom and Bonjoro. I switched to Sendspark because it basically does what both of those do so I only need one tool instead of two.
Chose Sendspark
I see a lot more flexibility and room for growth in Sendspark. The team is very [responsive and has] an excellent direction and roadmap of how they want to grow Sendspark. The ability to have Video Landing Pages is awesome and their video engagement analytics is superb as well. …
Chose Sendspark
Sendspark stands among other solutions due to the perspective behind the tool. They are trying to improve business conversion and client experiences by humanizing and customizing the touchpoints across different channels. People got tired of simple emails and tasteless contacts;…
Chose Sendspark
Well… to be honest, I decided to give it a try because of the price.
Chose Sendspark
Over the years, I've tried Loom and Vidyard but SendSpark trumps them all with white-labeling and reasonable costs.
Chose Sendspark
Camtasia is fine but it is not as simple to use, is not cloud-based, and the client has to download software to record their own screen and respond to your emails.
Chose Sendspark
Best all-around choice. It may not be as specialized as the others but it gives you the ability to do everything you need to get done as a solo freelancer without having to pay 3 different subscriptions for video tools that all do the same thing in a slightly different way.
Chose Sendspark
I used Loom before Sendspark and I think SendSpark is more economical and startup-friendly. Loom started off great and had a free plan. Eventually, things started getting pretty expensive and they started shutting down the free plan bit by bit till it became very limited. …
Vidyard
Chose Vidyard
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.
Chose Vidyard
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!
Chose Vidyard
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 …
Chose Vidyard
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 …
Chose Vidyard
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.
Chose Vidyard
Vidyard is easy to use, and the feedback is instant when you send the Vidyard, with their name on the whiteboard and your waving hand.
Chose Vidyard
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.
Chose Vidyard
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.
Chose Vidyard
I have not looked at other products.
Chose Vidyard
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 …
Chose Vidyard
Pricing-wise, it's definitely in between the two options above. It offers more capabilities than Wistia and is less expensive than Brightcove.
Chose Vidyard
Have not used anything else, this was the first thing I was introduced to and I never looked elsewhere due to how happy I was with the product.
Chose Vidyard
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 …
Chose Vidyard
We did not evaluate other tools at the time.
Chose Vidyard
No comparison in terms of sharing and quickly implementing with our current sales and marketing process.
Chose Vidyard
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 …
Chose Vidyard
I've used Loom which was fine. Not a tremendous difference that I could tell you about. I've only used the free version of Loom.

User Testimonials
SendsparkVidyard
Likelihood to Recommend
In my experience, Sendspark is particularly well-suited for sales and marketing professionals who need to create and send personalized videos at scale. The platform makes it easy to quickly record and share videos, which can be a great way to stand out in a crowded market and provide a more engaging and personal experience for clients. Additionally, the branding and marketing features of Sendspark are handy for maintaining a consistent and professional image. On the other hand, I think Sendspark may be less appropriate for organizations that require more robust collaboration and video editing features. The platform is designed for simplicity and speed, so it may not be the best choice for users who need more advanced editing tools or the ability to work on videos with multiple users simultaneously. Additionally, the limited customization options for video themes may not be suitable for users who need more flexibility in terms of design and layout. Other video recording and sharing platforms may be a better fit in these cases.

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.

  • The UI is really easy to use, especially for new users looking to get up to speed fast
  • On the paid version, I really like being able to download the videos
  • For onboarding new people and explaining processes, I like the playlist feature
  • For sensitive data, I like being able to password our videos

Cons
  • I would love to have a "Pause" button and to be able to resume a recording.
  • There is no editing functionality, but on the other hand what I like is its simplicity. So it's all about compromises!
  • It would be nice to be able to switch from the camera only to screen. (note that we can record both using the Chrome extension).
Read full review
  • It would be great if there could be a manager view so we don't have to give them admin privileges to see their team's vidyard videos.
  • It would be great to be able to see who viewed the video if multiple people are on the email.
  • It would be great if we could make the videos dynamic so that it would insert a person's first name or SL booking based off dynamic fields in SL.

Because with such a contribution it is possible to reach customers much better than with many other expensive tools. It is comparatively cheaper to do marketing with emails. So you should make your email campaigns as effective as possible. What really works with Sendspark. I think Sendspark will implement many more things. Which is why I am currently convinced to continue using Sendspark.

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.

Usability

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.

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.

Support is very fast. I actually get Support between 8-24 Hours which is Important for us. The website tend to slow down sometimes, but will not affect the overall usage. I think they have a good Server Plan, which runs smooth. Until now we didnt had any serious problems with saving our Video Files or Uploading.

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.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Virtually all other video platforms have more functions, more functionality, more integrations, and more ways to customize everything. The only exception is (possibly) Vidyard. Layers of complexity lead to inertia. That leads to plenty of excuses to not incorporate video into a workflow because it's always easier for (most) people to type an email than add the layers of vulnerability to a prospect that comes with a video. Sendspark is affordable, by far the easiest to use and, on the rare occasion, we've needed them, the support is very responsive. If you want to get your employees - or more especially yourself - to follow through on using video in your sales|marketing|customer support then I suggest you seriously consider Sendspark (unless you're one of our competitors :) )

Scalability
I think there is a lot of space for scaling. But for a Company like us there is plenty enough of capabilites to use Sendspark without any lack of performance issues. Maybe Sendspark could be limited for very Big Companys. But since they are a Startup, maybe they will grow and dive us to a better overall experience.

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.
