Overall Satisfaction with Wistia
We use Wistia as a customized hosting platform for all any videos we host on our marketing website, including testimonials, help/training videos, course videos, and conference talk recordings. It helps us create a unique video appearance and experience compared to common, free hosting platforms like Youtube or Vimeo, making our videos stand out.
- Wistia enables a lot of customization in the video player, making it personalized to your business.
- The user experience is pretty intuitive and easy to use without too much training.
- Wistia's help articles, blog and instructional videos were very helpful as we began investing more resources into video production.
- It would be nice to have a video player template that you could automatically apply to all the videos you upload. This would save us time when uploading and preparing new videos in Wistia.
- Customization of the player
- Embedding videos anywhere on our websites
- Calculating ROI for Wistia is difficult. However, it does create a more customized, professional feel for clients and prospects when they visit our website, which is valuable to us.
We've used Youtube in the past, and still use it to host some videos today, but we didn't like how mainstream it feels when you embed it on a website. For one thing, you can't customize the appearance so it feels out of place with our branding and color scheme on our website and it feels "cheaper". However, we do host some video content on Youtube to gain more exposure to our audience if they're on there.
