Overall Satisfaction with Private Media Channel

We use Private Media Channel to review all our in-progress digital assets across different departments before releasing and publishing the final version of the video content to our audience. The workflow options and security are our primary concerns and both of them are addressed by Private Media Channel.
  • Security, and workflow options to review and approve.
  • Videos can not be downloaded by download manager plugins.
  • Access Controls - You can set the controls for individuals or groups. Controls such as who can view, when one can view, and from where they can view and how many times they can view.
  • The help guide and documentation is minimal. Each feature needs a guide and step-by-step instructions,
  • UX can be better with tool tips and next steps.
  • Self-instructed videos are missing.
  • Our impact is operational efficiency/employee efficiency. We don't need to upload a video in Dropbox and download and review for each person, and approve, follow-up on 100+ emails. This channel helps to keep all the internal communications review process in one place.
  • Obviously, The channel help us with the security risk, we can't afford to let the video go out of the channel while it is in progress.
The access controls of who can view, when one can view, how many times one can view, and from where they can view and also the security, and protecting from download [are better]. The review and approval workflow, editing the videos, blue-pen are all not available in Vimeo Pro.
If a business needs a secure video hosting tool with lot of secure access controls on who needs to view; when, from where and how many times to view, then Private Media Channel is the only option in the market. If you don't need any security, monetization, and deep analytics on videos then there is YouTube and Vimeo to meet the needs.
