It's a genius tool and I KNOW once it is completely cleaned up, will take over a huge market. However, we just had too many hiccups that I can't ignore. This tends to happen to young companies/solutions, but I am excited about Vidyard's future.

I can go to Vidyard and record a video within ten seconds. I can then go back and see if it was watched (I'm also notified through email) and for how long. I can see where it was watched from so if it was shared with a colleague across the country that tells me it is a warmer lead.

Vidyard is super easy for new people to pick up - I've never had to spend time explaining the UI or menu, which is a testament so how easy it is. The plugin also makes it quite user-friendly. There's no need to go anywhere else - it's all on the browser.

Vidyard since day 1 has been extremely easy to use. The way you record, monitor, make changes, etc. has been just simple. Anything I ever needed has been intuitive and easily found out. On the 1 or 2 times where I wasn't sure a quick message to support had the issue resolved extremely fast.

Vidyard is super easy to use and get started. It's user-friendly and overall simple to use. I haven't run into anything too difficult using the platform, it seems pretty straightforward and I've used it for years now so it's second nature to me. It's not an extremely technical solution so nothing too hard to learn.

Vidyard deserves a 10/10 when it comes to usability because we have had no issues with the platform. It is easy to use and if we ever need help support is always there to help. We're looking forward to using this platform especially now that it has the script feature.

It really is easy to use. The control panel is very accessible and you can see on the screen what your video will look like while you are recording it. There are little info bubbles to explain things on the screen. Accessing your video library is also quick and easy to use.

Simply put, for all the reasons I previously mentioned. We’re trying to humanize the sales rep so that the prospect wants to have a conversation with them. If they take the conversation we can hopefully create an opportunity and close a sale. Vidyard is a great product overall and integrates well with Salesloft.

For the purposes of what we got it for, it is fantastic with video links, hosting, syncing to YouTube, lead generation, and more. I'd like to see a more fine-tuned user access control and a more clear organization of how all the sharing pages and landing pages sync together. I would also like to see the custom domain video hub setup be more clear.

Most of the out-of-box options were easy to use and deploy. There were not a lot of custom coding/tech skills needed to get up and running. From a tech side, it was nice to have open areas, especially for the Marketo form to be able to drop in custom CSS. Being able to choose a still image using the video slider eliminated the need to go to a designer to pull images and crop as well.

It is a very intuitive tool that helps me every week. I give a 9 instead of a 10 because I have not yet found the annotation features promised to me with the upgrade that I am a part of in my company, but this tool has made my job easier. It has helped me more effectively support my customers.
