Overall Satisfaction with Vimeo Pro

We use Vimeo Pro as our video hosting service for all of our content. Our company is specifically a media company and our flagship product is a learning platform where the majority of the coursework is made up of videos. In addition to the video training content, we also host our explainer videos for product landing pages. The service is used by both the media team and marketing.
  • Reliable content hosting - there is almost no down time for accessibility
  • Easy to use interface - its not hard to figure out how to upload and access your videos
  • We are able to do custom video analytics for plays, pauses, and resumes with their API
  • Customized end screens, email capture, and cards are not enabled when videos are viewed on Vimeo.com
  • Speed controls are not currently supported in the Vimeo mobile or TV app
  • Would like to be able to add up to 5 team members instead of just 3 for the cost of Pro
  • Vimeo is our primary content hosting platform. We rely on it daily to serve our content to our platform users. Uptime is around 99%
  • Vimeo Pro allows us to upload 20GB / week, which we need to upload different versions of our content
Wistia was significantly more expensive than Vimeo Pro. Budget played a huge factor in choosing Vimeo Pro over them. I also feel like the Vimeo player has greater aesthetic appeal than the Wistia player. If we needed more of the marketing automation integration features, then we might have more strongly considered using Wistia.
Vimeo is well suited for video embeds on product landing pages or as embeds for training course materials. Our business specifically uses videos hosted on Vimeo as iframe content in courses inside of the Moodle LMS environment. As we have a variety of users with different hardware setups, the ability to choose playback options helps immensely.
