Vimeo Enterprise vs. vMix Live Streaming Software

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.

For churches looking to use a fully digital video switcher in their livestreaming setup, vMix Live Streaming Software is a great option in the list of possible solutions. If a church is already using Vimeo or YouTube for their streaming, and they are a PC environment, then vMix Live Streaming Software can plug right in and give some robust editing and video options to the volunteers making the Livestream happen.

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.

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.

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

Ultimately, we chose to use vMix Live Streaming Software on TOP of Vimeo, as vMix Live Streaming Software gives full video-switching capability and allows us to pipe a finished product into Vimeo instead of trying to mix our video in Vimeo's native web-based app or their Livestream Studio app. vMix Live Streaming Software stands out in their market as setting a high bar for digital video switching and managing multiple inputs well.

• 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.
