Overall Satisfaction with Vimeo Pro
It is being used throughout the company but mainly by sales as a means of sharing demo videos internally, as well as to prospective customers (less frequently.) We find it to be an effective way for people in the company to share demos internally, and it provides several easy methods for paying including through a nice mobile app and browser access.
- Nice mobile app, easy to use and available on both iTunes and the Android store
- Easy to upload and manage videos. Videos upload quickly, and I have never had errors or incomplete videos to playback.
- Good video quality. I have never experienced any playback issues, or lower quality compression issues when watching videos at a later time.
- Some of the sharing options are messy. Vimeo will say I can't share externally, but in settings there is a way to create a private link. Just a little clunky and can be confusing at times.
- Sometimes takes a little while for videos to properly encode. Even though it has said the video has uploaded, it has sometimes taken another 5-10 minutes before the video is viewable.
- Modest positive impact, for when videos are shared with prospects it can reinforce the recently given product demo. It can help to engage with potential customers during the sales cycle, by providing a vehicle for sharing recently completed software demos. Hard to quantify what the ROI impact of this sharing would be however.
Vimeo is more of a pure video streaming service, but G-suite and Dropbox have better pure file sharing capabilities. Vimeo is a superior player, though and also does provide a easy platform for storing and sharing professional quality videos. The Pro option also gives ample storage for those in need of sharing a large volume or higher quality videos.
