"Vimeo is best video platform for businesses (small to large scale)"
What do you like best about Vimeo?

Vimeo provides a wide range of features that suite every need of our organisation. This includes support for multiple video formats for upload, embedding to any social media platforms, information security features that provide privacy of videos and a great and fast reaction support team whenever there are issues that arise (0 downtime).

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

Since we mainly use Vimeo in corporate videos, we have set the privacy settings to high this setting is applied to all videos when you configure this on the settings. We hope to have a feature to set privacy to individual videos and also allow folder organisation so that we can structure how we upload videos on the cloud.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

The privacy settings is a charm. Although a bit to tough, we have managed to safe keep our internal videos to just our organisation. Vimeo also has the feature of sharing videos as link this also allowed us to share videos to external stakeholders but with read only access. The download options was also beneficial to our organisation as we have offices globally and sometimes internet hinders a good stream the download option was the best shot of getting the communication out with out any issues.

"An HD video website that is great for hosting videos we can embed"
What do you like best about Vimeo?

The feel of the Vimeo is much more professional than other leading video websites like YouTube. They offer a good variety of service plans for those that are just starting out and those that want a extensive amount of features and storage capacity. When we load videos, they appear very sharp and play smoothly. With just a single short snippet of web code, we can add the videos to our website and reduce the amount of bandwidth and storage space used in our regular web hosting account.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

Vimeo performs well in every way that we need it too. I think if they could add more search engine optimization features, that could be better for us when trying to host content related to particular keywords. I think if they could add some advanced editing and captioning features, that could improve the service as well.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of hosting digital videos from our web hosting account, we can quickly upload them to our Vimeo account and have the videos load from there. It's very important that our videos load quickly and smoothly for our viewers and Vimeo has been consistent in being able to present our videos with good loading speeds and image quality.

"Less expensive than Wistia and does everything I need it to"
What do you like best about Vimeo?

Simple to use. Includes all the features I need at an affordable price. Has high-quality video output. I can upload directly to Vimeo from Screenflow. I can also include embedded video into our CRM/CMS (HubSpot) as well as our customer support knowledge base (ScreenSteps).

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

It's all good. Nothing I would complain about.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need to share videos with our customers and with our prospects/leads/website visitors. I create videos from Screenflow and I need a fast way to upload them so that I'm not spending a ton of time downloading the video file and re-uploading the file to a video hosting service.

"VIMEO IS FOR FILMMAKERS "
What do you like best about Vimeo?

VIMEO is like youtube, but for filmmakers. I like how they don't limit how long your videos can be when you upload to VIMEO. I much prefer Vimeo to youtube

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

I don't like how their free membership has a gigabyte limit per month. However, that can be solved by paying for a membership, which isn't all too expensive.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vimeo has an excellent feature for creating video ad's that you can use on social media platforms.

"Vimeo is Perfect for Filmmakers"
What do you like best about Vimeo?

Vimeo is a very aesthetically pleasing video hosting website with high video quality streaming. The interface is easy to use in all aspects. Vimeo links are easy to share as well as to embed into other platforms. Another great tool it that it has wonderful privacy settings, and it makes it very easy to set up passwords to protect your work. Vimeo is extremely reliable and affordable for small film companies.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

The only dislike to Vimeo is the storage limit because some big projects take up a lot of space. One other issue is it's sometimes difficult for people to find your videos in the search bar. Other than these two things Vimeo is far ahead of its competitors.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vimeo has an incredible reputation for high quality content compared to other video hosting websites, therefore, my company only uses Vimeo to send out any links.

"Vimeo gives a Video Production Company everything they need."
What do you like best about Vimeo?

Vimeo has a basic business plan that is extremely affordable and allows up to 5GB of uploads every week... which for a startup Film company is plenty with leftovers too. Also, the ability to password protect projects for review is a nice feature to insure that no one sees a customer's film before it is approved.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

Vimeo has a video conversion wait time associated with your plan and also doesn't allow for live streaming on any of the lesser plans.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having videos password protected solves the problem of customers being able to view the progress of their product without the whole world being able to see their unfinished film.

"Easiest video upload around!"
What do you like best about Vimeo?

We use Vimeo in our office at least once a week to share psa's with our members so they can air on their broadcast stations and we have never had an issue.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

I really, honestly can't think of anything I dislike.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our association generates public service announcements and vimeo cuts out the need for a third party that we would have needed to create a shareable link.

"Still the Best option for Video File Management and Distribution"
What do you like best about Vimeo?

Vimeo is by far the best value for money when it comes to storage and delivery of video files. From SD to 4K Vimeo has me covered and when you look at the annual pricing tiers plus the zero (0) streaming fees it makes a wonderful 'back end' for online education, video on demand, and subscriber based platform networks.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

Vimeo's interface can get a bit of getting used to. It's great for folks who plan to upload and stream a documentary or create a small portfolio of films for their resume or business, but when you get into the hundreds or thousands of clips online you need to make sure (as I have done) that you create an archiving system for your films. Unfortunately this means that searching for clips involves the clip title as Vimeo does not allow hidden file names so you have to get used to seeing numerical elements in your titles if you plan to go that route. Otherwise it's a great product with great streaming quality. Also -- due to Vimeo being used extensively by documentary film producers where the subject matter can be controversial or negatively seen from political regimes, it is often blocked in 3rd world countries such as Indonesia so bear this in mind if you plan to service those markets -- you would be better off using Youtube which although has it's own sets of pro's and con's is available for viewing in more markets than Vimeo.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We deliver streaming video to artists around the world. The front end is an online platform, which was developed by a UK based company, the payment gateway is Paypal, and the 'back end' or video archive is Vimeo. It is a robust solution.

"Perfect and secure video platform"
What do you like best about Vimeo?

I have been using this platform since my university studies. All my university work and the professionals, when I had to edit them on video, I have always uploaded them on this platform because the quality is unbeatable. I have always noticed that it is much better than other video platforms like Youtube. In vimeo the quality of image, the one of ascent of videos and especially because the contents tend to be more professional. As for the upload of videos to the platform, I've never had problems. They have always been uploaded correctly and over the years faster.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

At the beginning of the platform, if I remember correctly, I think you did not have to subscribe to a plan and have to pay to enjoy all the content. Now I do not like it that much because it asks you to pay for a plan if you want to enjoy many of its advantages. From my point of view they have lost a lot on this issue since not everyone can afford to pay a plan.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my company it served us for the explanation of programs.

"Vimeo (YouTube competitor) has a useful free tier, and paid accounts with better service, no limits."
What do you like best about Vimeo?

Allows me to upload a meaningful amount of video, and make it public. Much as one can do on YouTube.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

Nothing, really. You can monetize your content over Vimeo.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Video distribution. Can make video available to a different audience from YouTube. Useful if you are being censored on other video distribution platforms.

"High Quality Video"
What do you like best about Vimeo?

Like the title says, I like that all your videos are uploaded in the highest quality possible, making your videos look their best. Whether it's a commercial, a promotional video, or a trailer for your feature film, you can rest assured that your video will look its best on Vimeo. I also like that you can upload private videos that can be accessed with a password.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

There's not really much I dislike about Vimeo, other than you have storage limits and if you want more you have to pay. If you're a big business with a big budget though, paying for high quality shouldn't be a problem though.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Like mentioned before, with Vimeo you can upload private videos that can only be accessed with a password. This is perfect for videos that are not meant for the public and that only need to be viewed by new employees or potential clients. I have not found any other site that does this.

"Vimeo is Great for Filmmakers"
What do you like best about Vimeo?

Vimeo is a fantastic place for Filmmakers to connect, get inspired, and share content. I appreciate Vimeo's visual appearance. It's clean, it's sleek, it look professional. I love Vimeo's user interface, and functionality. It accentuates your content, and has a lot of great features that other video sharing platforms do not.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

Slow buffer speeds. While Vimeo's hosting and compression displays videos better, it does come at a cost when slow wifi or data speeds are present. It can be an annoyance trying to share content in a meeting, and it takes 60 seconds to buffer all the way. This is a minor annoyance and inconvenience, more of a gripe, but it still is a real thing.

What problems is Vimeo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vimeo is a great platform to send and update videos, both to clients, and the public. I love the private link function, the ability to comment and critique videos in program. I find that Vimeo seems "more professional" than yo*t*be and other services. The plus and pro functions speak to a care for your work. It adds a legitimacy to your work, and portfolio.
