easy to integrate with marketo and youtube. Easy to create form fills. Easy to show leads from on-demand content.
The amount of videos we are allowed to have on our profile at a time
We use it to upload our on-demand webinar content, which then integrates into our wordpress site. We also use it for form fills on Marketo.
Easy to upload videos and send the links to customers and partners .
It doesn't leave me a lot of space for commentary and info on the video . Also no direct connection to LinkedIn.
The need to share video content with clients and partners .
Wistia has many capabilities and features that makes uploading video online can be very easy. The platform is very user-friendly, meaning that people are able to navigate it as freely and no matter how new they are.
Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to backtrack, some integrations are not capable or easily connected,difficult to integrate with google podcast
Wistia is enabling the integration of videos from different platform which is very beneficial and easily accesible for me
I love the easy to use video editor. Also, wistia makes it so easy for our teams to make the most out of our video content; it's so easy to share and embed. Thanks wistia!
I could probably use some more training to fully take advantage of the platform.
Helps with easy video sharing to prospects and clients.
I love how easy it is for my entire team to contribute to our large video storage bank
There are truly 0 things I dislike about Wistia. Everything is easy, fast, and user friendly
We use Wistia for all of our video storage, and it makes for seamless video integration.
Analytics, leads captation, fully customizable layouts and appearance
Sometimes embedding is not so easy but it's ok
Solves the problem of having acccurate reports on how your videos are performing and also the opportunity to get leads through video
Helped us turn a number of overwhelming folders of videos into a well organized library of videos!
There are so many great options that it's sometimes hard to determine where to start!
As a small business with limited resources and no dedicated creative team it's allowed me to get a grip on all of my content.
It's very easy to use Soapbox+Wistia to make screen/video capture videos. They can be immediately downloaded and shared via Wistia, which has great, built-in options to share online.
The uploads can sometimes take a long time, depending on the length of the video. The customization options for the built in landing page are pretty limited. They get the job done, but don't allow much to make it really stand out.
They are offering more live webinar support that pairs well with their recording hosting. This could help by consolidating more of our marketing onto one platform.
Wistia has been an easy tool for our teams to use for quickly recording, sharing, and storing video content. We do a lot of product instruction viritually, and it's allowed our chat support team to share solutions with our clients seamlessly. It's also helped us move away from more archaic forms of video storage, and the analytics beat the pants out of Zoom as well. It's been a great addition to our tech stack!
We really like the tool! We've had no real issues using it but we would love to have it integrate more actively with Monday.com, as that's where we are managing most of our content creation these days.
It's allowed us to have a robust and flexible video recording and sharing tool that helps us create professional-looking content for our customers and education courses. A real value add!
I like the Wistia is so user-friendly. It does the basics of what I need, and the more I use it I find features that are easy to add. My favourite part is the display and the fact that you can replace an existing video with an update in mere seconds. I highly recommend Wistia!!
I really can't think of anything. It's fantastic!!
I love the analytics. It was great to observe during an online conference. I could tell which video sessions were a hit and which were not.
I like that it can easily be added to almost any plaform to include a video.
I didn't know about it sooner. I wish I learned about this earlier.
It helps to upload videos quickly.
I like that you can customize the video player.
I haven't run into any issues yet. I do prefer the analytics YouTube provides, though. It's a bit more thorough.
Definitely, the customization it provides is a huge plus. Also, the ease of uploading replacement files when making small edits to a video.
Wistia is easy to use and I can upload big videos in a few minutes and check how they perform. Customization is another important upside of Wistia that allows me to add thumbnails, links, chapters, captions and more.
I'd love to group better the analytics per projects and not only per videos.
Embedding videos on my website is a much easier and smoother process now. Also, I can see the traffic generated by that video and its insights.
Easy to use, never gave any error & you can trust them to host your videos
The time between uploading and HD processing.
A trusted host for all your amazing videos.
that wistia is not a social media platform that can be regulated!
nothing that i know of... pricing a little high but it's okay
giving me a great repository for my team videos outside of youtube and vimeo... and for my courses
Wistia makes it easy to organize and embed video files. We our content sorted into folders and we have it wired up to report to Google analytics. I also like that I can include a caption file.
I can't think of any downsides to Wistia.
We just needed to put our training videos in an accessible place.
I like that I can see how many people viewed the video. This helps ensure that students are watching the materials I posted and benefiting from the information.
I wish I could see statistics for when students stop watching a video (YouTube has this feature). This can help me encourage people to go back and finish the whole thing.
I like that videos can be edited now and the auto-captions are easy to generate, I don't fix them, but it's nice to know I could if I wanted to. I use this platform mainly for teaching so accessibility is important.
I love how easy it is to replace videos on Wistia. It saves so much time not having to re-embed videos when we have minor tweaks to make to our content.
I don't dislike much about Wistia. I had to make a suggestion, it would be great if you could download uploaded thumbnail files.
Wistia makes it easy to report on how our content is performing.
Wisita is so user-friendly for those that don't even have a design background. Having the ability to take our internal recordings and turn them into professional-looking replays makes internal communications shine every time!
The only downside of Wistia would be the search tool - I would like to have a search by dates option.
Wistia allows us to post replays for internal meetings with password protection so we never have security concerns
We use wista for our video hosting - especially for the online lessons for our programs. It's an easy platform to use and would recommend it to everybody
I haven't found a downside yet. I'll update the review once I find one
I needed video hosting for a good price, and Wistia solved that for me
