Vidyard Reviews

If you're using videos for a smaller part of your marketing, and you just want something that offers a better experience than YouTube and gives you basic tracking for a decent price, then I'd say go for Vidyard. If you are primarily marketing with videos, have a large library, or want to report heavily on your videos, maybe look for a different solution,

Companies that have established videos and use a modern CSM can benefit greatly - but even for those who don't, their free/lower tier options are still exceptional to get you ramped up.

If you're creating quick, short videos for landing pages or automated marketing emails, this platform is perfect. If you're hoping to capture additional leads, Vidyard has some significant tools that can help you with it; it even has the ability to create buttons within the video itself during play. You still should post most of your videos to YouTube, for obvious touchpoint reasons, but Vidyard provides a great tool to think outside of the box.

If you are using video in email marketing, this is a great tool. Vidyard makes it fast and easy. It works well with embedding videos on your website so you aren't sending people to YouTube. You don't want to work hard to get guests to your site only to send them to YouTube.

Vidyard is our most powerful tool for initial client outreach. The personalization that is possible goes far beyond the old options. Further applications we have planned for 2020 include onboarding new clients and additional sale enablement videos explaining complex concepts.

For anyone in service, I recommend building an FAQ library in both written text and video. Give your customers a choice, it is easy with Vidyard.

It works best for me towards the end of an email Cadence with SalesLoft. It also works great when we make a quick, cool video before a conference. It gets people to recognize us and even want to meet up with us.
I like to keep a video thumbnail in my email signature to help me stand out as well.
If I could do more with editing videos inside of their web app I'd give it a 10.

Definitely useful for larger SaaS businesses who have a sales process created and can see where video fits in. GoVideo lets employees quickly create video without needing equipment, planning etc. But for videos for a larger audience you're going to want some in-house video skills or budget to hire out. As well, a lot of Vidyard's real value comes when you have enough inbounds to lead capture and gather analytics on those visitors.

Prospecting, for sure. Also client relationships. I can send a report and have to rely on how the reader interprets it, but if I include a video I can provide a human face to the report and some context so that we can have a dialogue about it. I also like to use the voice-over option when I need to answer a question via email--show, don't tell. Eliminates a lot of confusion.

Sales outreach, meeting summaries, proposal descriptions, instructional videos are all well suited to Vidyard. It's versatile and usually the only thing that will prevent a way of using it is the human element - people are sometimes less happy to be on camera.

Vidyard is great for business/sales development teams trying to cut through all the noise and get the attention of their prospects. We also use it to provide micro demos or meeting recaps. This has been a game-changer because now our prospects can share those internally and go over them multiple times.

The best use for me is marketing. You can use it for the lifecycle of a sale. When I get a prospect, I will send them an Introduction video which has a value proposition. I can see if they open it because Vidyard tracks opens. When a prospect has questions about a particular subdivision or city, I can create on the fly a quick info video which gives them information.

I have found Vidyard is not best suited for videos where you want to switch between a live demo and a prepared powerpoint presentation, due to its limited editing tools.
It is wonderful for delivering personalized videos to a wide variety of audiences.

Vidyard is the best 1:1 video platform I've used. It integrates very easily with Slack and email in order to ensure that messages are sent and received. I really enjoy the fact that I get notified with who has watched my video and for how long. This tool allows me to send messages quickly, without the fear that people will read into what I've said since they are seeing me!

Video just works. It's that simple. More people engage with video than a simple email or call.

Vidyard is ideal for scaling tech companies that want to improve their customer and internal communications in a measurable way. It's super easy, fun to use, and delivers a great tool for onboarding and support.

Vidyard is great for sharing customer videos, enablement, and other "series" which can secure the videos and allow for you to track the impressions & impact those videos are having across the organization. It's less suited for the quick video upload since it takes a little bit of overhead to set up the videos & a video player.

Vidyard is well suited for quick start and flexibility, as well as long-term innovation. Stability is key.
It's less appropriate to upgrade paths to paid solutions (when comparing apples to apples).

Vidyard is perfect for sales and training, and really any other application where videos are used. It doesn't hinder if people skip through a video, but it does provide analytics to the host if they do, so I see literally no downsides.

Well suited to send highlight videos of our product and what we do. Always great for sending a video as a follow up to a meeting or demo to recap what the conversation was and the key takeaways. It also is helpful in follow-ups as it is more personable than your generic, plain email.

It is well suited for use by a salesperson who wants to use video for short personalize communication with prospects.

It’s a great site to manage content on.

Anyone using video as a tactic in their marketing strategy should be using Vidyard rather than YouTube. Person-level reporting data is invaluable and much more useful for informing your marketing strategy than all-up metrics.

Vidyard's hosting and personalized services are more suited for organizations that are already familiar with video marketing across the enterprise. This works well for organizations that have an internal video production team or are utilizing agencies for the delivery of their video assets and campaigns. Vidyard shines in the enterprise market based on the depth of the API integration with CRM, marketing automation platforms and sales enablement platforms.

My recommendation for companies that do not fit the above is to look at Vidyard GoVideo which is specifically suited for video use cases like one to one video for sales outreach or customer support cases to include video in emails and outreach. This is where I would start for companies that are just getting into video and may not have current video assets to leverage. User-based video is effective and GoVideo can be used for free to get your feet wet.

Great for explaining features, a good back up if a client can't make a meeting and they need to know some important info. I love that you can see if someone viewed the video and how much of a video they got through.

It is well suited when working in Saas. You can easily work with your software/tool, record your audio on top, and send it immediately. It is also helpful when looking to explain something that is on a web page when a screenshot won't do.
