Overall Satisfaction with Panopto

Panopto allows us to organize all of the videos that created and put them in a central place. It allows us to search for and categorize the vides so they can be found easily. We can also control who sees the videos based on audience. We can also get stats on who is viewing the videos.
  • Great captioning features
  • Easy uploads
  • Timestamps for videos
  • Captions aren't perfect for industry standard words
  • Would like more SCORM features
  • Sometimes there are delayed processing times after uploading
  • Captioning
  • Video tagging/classification
  • Controlling video access
  • Playlists
  • Put all our videos together in one central place
  • Use playlists and security features to control who sees what
  • See statistics for who is watching what
Panopto has the best captioning features that I've seen for a video repository. This enables us to caption videos quickly and efficiently. It also has tags and chaptering which makes viewing videos easier. We can also link videos inside Panopto to outside entities without needing them to have a Panopto account.

Panopto works best if you have a LOT of video content, but if you only have some or don't care about organization, SharePoint (or Microsoft Stream) might be a cheaper/more efficient option.

Do you think Panopto delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Panopto's feature set?

Yes

Did Panopto live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Panopto go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Panopto again?

Yes

Panopto is great if you have a lot of video content that you need to put in a central repository. It makes it easy to manage who sees it and how it is categorized. The captioning features are also really good too. For folks to view the video, they don't need a Panopto account. You can send them a direct link. If you want to upload videos, however, they will need a Panopto account.

If you only have a few videos or care less about usage statistics, SharePoint may be a better file repository option.
