Overall Satisfaction with JW Player
All of our video content is housed on JW Player. It is used by over 30 of our newspaper newsrooms and tv stations. We spent a lot of time looking for an affordable, reliable video hosting system and JW stood out in a crowded field.
- Ease of use: We have several hundred people who use JW Player on a weekly basis and we needed to be able to train them quickly. JW Player is very intuitive and easy to understand.
- Reliability: We rarely ever have any unscheduled downtime with JW Player.
- Analytics: We wanted to be able to chart growth over a period of weeks and months and JW Analytivs give us a good view into how our video is being consumed. The realtime analytics are especially helpful.
- I would like to be able to follow the analytics of a video series over the course of time. Currently, It's difficult to do that.
- I would like to have multiple logins for a single account.
- I don't
- I don't think there is any revision history. After a video is posted we occasionally need to change a headline or description and the update doesn't show up.
- JW Player has was less expensive (without sacrificing quality) than our previous video platform so the ROI was instant.
- We were easily able to add a variety of video advertising options including pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll.
- The quality and consistancy of the look of the video has enabled us to grow our video views by well over 100% since starting with JW.
- Bright Cove
JW Player is the most widely used internet video player out there, so it was an easy choice for us to trust JW with our video content and delivery. What impressed me most was their hunger to improve and satisfy our business needs. Many of their competitors weren't nearly as interested in our bottom line as they were in their own.
