The best tool to hosting your videos

5,0 3 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: It is amazing using this software to host videos and make them. It has a very friendly interface and very good support from the platform. Also, the free version is a handful, and the premium plans are not expensive to buy.

Pluspunten:

It is incredibly easy to upload and manage videos on this software, aside from the fact of hosting a great number of videos online. Also, is easy and very intuitive to manage content on Wistia

Minpunten:

There are almost no problems with this software. However, it is important to say of analytics is not very accurate and does not have support for oriental languages.

The video platform your Business Needs

5,0 vorig jaar

Opmerkingen: Wistia has lots of features that have helped my company grow and save time. We have worked smarter and not harder thanks to Wistia.

Pluspunten:

So many things, like the CTR, but if I have to choose one, I would say is the "replace media" feature. This has helped me replace media that needed some updates, and that is embedded in many places, without having to upload or embed again.

Minpunten:

For the moment, I haven't encountered a problem with the platform, and when I do, or I need help, Wistia helps me out with great customer service. (I can really say it is the best customer service I have ever experience)

Must have platform for video hosting

5,0 2 weken geleden Nieuw

Opmerkingen: It's a must have tool for all marketers. Makes it easy for tracking data when sending webinars and other video content over email marketing or simply hosting it on landing pages.

Pluspunten:

It's a great video hosting platform with brilliant analytics and lead capturing features that help marketers like me to get clear and in depth data. I also love how it integrates with Marketo

Minpunten:

Pricing can be better. I am not sure if small businesses can afford the tool. Although it's feature rich, the tool can let some more features to be available under their free trial

The best option to "post" online video that can be played online

3,0 7 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

What I like most about Wistia is that it supports a large number of formats and automatically manages downsampling. Which means that the platform internally generates several versions of the same video to release the most appropriate depending on the connection speed of the person who needs to watch the video.

Minpunten:

The least I like about Wistia is that you can only create a free account with limited options that allows you to upload up to 50 videos, to upload in large amounts must be paid.

Opmerkingen: Trusted partner for all our video hosting and marketing.

Pluspunten:

Rock solid performance, excellent feature set, comprehensive documentation, integrations that work out the box.

Minpunten:

User management features could be more comprehensive, but definitely not a deal breaker.

I've tried it, but found other solutions for my needs

5,0 3 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Wistia was great to use and easy to use, but it came down to how much I was paying for what I was needing. If you're an organization that has the expenses to support the cost of Wistia, go for it. If you're a small business or a business that watches every nickel and dime you spend, consider other sources.

Pluspunten:

Wistia offers a ton of features, but none that swayed my decision in using it to house my video content. It's clean, reliable, it works, and does a great job from a marketing standpoint. It's easy to use and that kind of reliability and ease of use only comes when you pay premium for a Saas product like Wistia

Minpunten:

It's way expensive. My of my needs could be used with Youtube, Vimeo, Spotlightr (formerly known as VooPlayer), Amazon's S3, or other services that provide their own video hosting platform.

Solid At Protecting Content

5,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Wistia has been great to help secure video content and make it look more original than if we hosted on other platforms like Vimeo or Youtube.

Pluspunten:

Wistia is by far the best major player at protecting the content you put up. There are always ways to work around security if someone really wants to download your content, but so far Wistia has been the best.

Minpunten:

The price point isn't cheap when you consider you could host for free on other platforms, but it's a small price to pay to have content that looks professional. As long as you're earning an income based on the video content you're storing on the site, it shouldn't be a big issue.

Wistia is the best business video platform for growing leads and engaging contacts

5,0 7 maanden geleden

Opmerkingen: Overall Wistia has been a wonderful asset for us and has helped us develop a quality system for capturing, engaging and evaluating leads.

Pluspunten:

The webinar tool in Wistia offers a new way to host webinars and capture leads in a way that feels modern, unlike many other webinar tools that seem outdated. The ability to see where your videos are embedded is super helpful too as well as the video analytics to see how your content is performing.

Minpunten:

It can be difficult to migrate content from channel pages to your regular library since they maintain a different URL structure. The options for webinar sign ups also don't allow full customization of fields to align with our HubSpot fields.

Best Video Host for Embeddable Videos

5,0 9 maanden geleden

Pluspunten:

I liked how easy it was to customize the thumbnails and video players that I was embedding on my website. The UI is very user-friendly and there are many options to choose from.

Minpunten:

It wasn't immediately obvious that you can link to timestamps in the video, but once I figured out how to it was a great additional feature.

Excellent video hosting platform

5,0 vorig jaar

Opmerkingen: It’s an excellent platform for hosting and sharing videos and brilliant for embedding on web pages - they look far more slick than YouTube videos. The new auto-caption/transcribe feature is very handy too!

Pluspunten:

You can host videos in channels or projects, with channels providing a great public-facing playlist. The platform is really easy to navigate and very user-friendly. It’s easy to store and organise your videos and makes for a great hosting platform. The new auto-caption/transcribe feature is very handy too! It could do with some improvements, but I assume it works on machine learning and will become more accurate over time.

Minpunten:

The only negative is being charged extra once you go over you allowance of videos. We are currently having to do an inventory of videos to determine if there are any that we can host internally (any that do not need to be shared publicly).

Best video marketing platform in the game

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Phenomenal video marketing platform with exceptional support

Pluspunten:

Wistia offers awesome features for a very reasonable price. It's super easy to use, with valuable analytics and various customization options. If you need to update a video, it's no problem -- you can replace it without changing the link. They truly focus on video marketing whereas YouTube is really just for hosting and views. Plus, the customer service is top notch! (And if you ever get a chance to read their blog, you'll see these guys are video marketing experts)

Minpunten:

Sometimes it can be a little buggy when adding captions to video. I also wish there was a way to schedule videos social instead of posting one by one - but that would just be a nice to have.

Gets a little Expensive

5,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Excellent for anyone with a video or production focused company that is looking to share there video with clients and get feedback from colleagues and clients.

Pluspunten:

Well designed interface, although since they updated the site seems a little less intuitive. You can upload a s much as you want without many restrictions. Its great for clients and colleagues to comment and review videos with time codes built into the comments section.

Minpunten:

Sometimes can become a little pricy if you have a very large quantity of videos. Occasionally I have had a video not upload correctly and need re-uploading. Mobile app needs to be more intuitive. Lacks a few features that the website has.

Wistia gets the right job done

5,0 7 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Just great value for the cost. Nicely scoped service/product. You get just what you need to get the job done. There is little fluff.

Pluspunten:

Great to post videos and integrate with Wordpress site Analytics get the job done Easy to use to get the job done, not many extra whistles now, which is great Like the company, blog posts are helpful and public betas

Minpunten:

Embed styles could use more details on how to do them Embedding could use more data on performance, I had to learn the best way through trial and error

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS TOOL

5,0 7 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: I absolutely love this tool and recommend it to other companies. This is a must-have tool for any company.

Pluspunten:

It integrates with Salesforce. It's a great way to know which leads are more likely to closing. We're able to see if they have watched our marketing videos. We are able to see which ones they have watched, how long they watched it for. I absolutely love this tool. I have no idea what we would without this tool.

I manage a client existing Wistia account

5,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: The price simply does not make sense to me.
But since I am not the one paying for it, it is not a concern.
If you can afford it, great - it is excellent quality software and video hosting.
My experience using it as an administrator is superb and have no complaints.

Pluspunten:

There is no doubt Wistia is super high-quality video hosting. They have partnerships with course hosting companies such as Podia, of which I am a customer of. All the features Wistia have are excellent, the quality is awesome. Embedding for example, is excellent.

Minpunten:

Two things specifically: I find the price a bit rich. $99/month for 10 videos. Yet, I am a Podia user and I get unlimited video hosting and it is the same player exactly (partnership). I see no point being with Wistia directly, although I love their service. (b) What Podia does not offer with the Wistia player is customization within the player. That's the benefit of paying Wistia directly. However, I know that Wisita in-built player customization is not as good as Vidello in my opinion. Vidello is 9/10 for me, whereas Wistia is 8/10.

Easy to Use, Share, and Store!

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

My company deals with storing hundreds of terabytes worth of video files. Wistia is a great way for us to share those files with our clients: it allows them to not only see the footage and collaborate, but download or frame for social media platforms. Wistia is easy to use for our clients and lets them get exactly what they're looking for. We can easily separate files by project and share them with the right people: in turn allowing for a short turn around time for delivering projects.

Minpunten:

The limited file size can be irksome, as we always record our videos in RAW. So, we always have to convert and compress our footage before we can put it on Wistia. It's not a massive deal, but it does slow our process a little bit.

Storage of high quality content

5,0 7 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

This software allows me to store and visualize the content of audiovisual projects for my audience. There is no capacity limit per project and this represents a great advantage for the company.

Minpunten:

Its costs of use were raised after having years of use, now it is much more expensive to create a project in Wistia.

I use Wistia for uploading final assets to clients, and also for attaching to websites.

5,0 7 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: The software is easy to use and allows for easy feedback, embedding, and sharing of videos.

Pluspunten:

The software is easy to use with a nice user interface. It embeds easily and has a lot of functions for for customizing permissions, video preview frames, and other aspects of the uploaded asset. This program does the job it is meant for with ease of use.

Minpunten:

The software does have some issues uploading long files. I have run into a few issues where I have uploaded longer videos and ended up having to attempt the upload a few times. Those instances are fairly rare though.

We love Wistia, but wish it worked for our industry

4,0 7 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

It's super easy to use, the customer support and the content Wistia pushes out is great. We don't really have a lot of complaints.

Minpunten:

We left a competitor to Wistia as we thought that Wistia would help us get more SEO juice out of our videos. Turns out, this won't work for our industry, which is disappointing. I believe we are paying more for this feature. Such a bummer!

The top video hosting platform- they even have an awesome extension

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

Wistia makes hosting videos so easy. Managing the videos in the cloud makes it easy to find what you are looking for, and sharing the videos onto your website or portal is extremely easy as well. For the past year or so, my sales teams have been using their soapbox extension. This allows us to create videos from our desktop and share them with customers. An extremely personable way to share short product explanations and videos with customers.

Minpunten:

Wistia has changed the way they charge for starage of content. I liked their old plan better, but their new plan seems to be working well.

First of all Wistia has a free version, which is great for new and small businesses. Second, it works great and give you so much more management options than youtube. If you're a business and deal with vide I recommend checking it out.

Minpunten:

Not a product's fault, but it's hard to compete with YouTube for organic traffic

Wistia just makes video easier.

5,0 8 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: We're loving Wistia because the video players are sharp looking and easily customizable with color, buttons, etc. Whether I'm putting a video on a page highly trafficked on mobile and need a smaller play button, on a blog post where the color blue goes with the theme, or on a product page where I need the display frame to be just as gorgeous as our photo set, Wistia makes it easy.

Pluspunten:

Easy, organized, SEO friendly, Trackable

Minpunten:

Video organization and seo setup can be confusing
