Vimeo Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

Embedding videos is so simple, changing your audience to only domains that you choose, live streaming. You can't get a better video service than Vimeo!

Nothing! It's such a user-friendly, reliable service to use.

Compared to YouTube live streaming, Vimeo is much simpler to set up and embed on a website. Also, being able to show Vimeo videos only on certain domains is a huge benefit.

Our favorite thing about Vimeo is the video quality and custom touches that you can add to the video player and public-facing account page

I'm not a huge fan of their pricing model and the upload limits depending on the tier.

I was using vimeo to send client-ready review files but frame.io has become a much better solution. We use our vimeo pro account to host videos.

Vimeo let's you start for free and remain free for a long time. When it's time to upgrade, the upgrade options are reasonably priced. Vimeo On Demand is a great service also.

Vimeo doesn't have a main website portion for users like YouTube does. It's focussed on creators and not viewers. It could improve on this and have both creator and non-creator accounts.

Vimeo is video hosting. It's great of you want a YouTube alternative but it has its negatives and positives when compared to YouTube.

I like that I can replace videos with current versions.

There is not much I dislike! This website does everything I need it to.

We like to Livestream with it. I like that it is compatible with many different sites.

What I like best about Vimeo is how easy it is to create and send videos to friends and family. Also, how you can create videos for business as well, I am relatively new to using Vimeo, but I can see its value. My clients love it too.

I want the Video Basic to have a more extensive weekly mb usage. I think that the more Vimeo gets exposure, the more business will be generatated.

The problem solved with Vimeo is that it is straightforward to use, and you can explain it readily to clients, and they appreciate the application better

Speed, Catalog, Search and editable options. Awesome interface. Super Reliable. The review links are so helpful. Comments and version control right on the review link is vital. The playback quality is superior to everything we tested.

I dislike that some companies have web filter against all vimeo.com links this results in us being blocked, we bypass it by using vimeopro.com. Another thing that can vimeo needs is a caption/subtitle auto generator.

Version Control, Client sharing, Hosting, MultiDevice access. Remote Work among editors is easier. Also hosting all our final projects.

Uploading content is so fast and easy. And very user friendly

The interface is a bit confusing when they change the interface

video with embed capability

The best thing about Vimeo is the audience is a bit mature and feedback is more on the mature side. Vimeo doesn’t have advertisements as their focus is not on making money from advertising which is a serious turn off when watching videos. You won’t see adds before videos or in the middle of any video. You will never be overwhelmed by unwanted adds while watching videos on Vimeo. You can easily download videos and watch them offline later. You can update any video once it has been published and you can still keep the stats of your previous video. All of the view count, statistics, likes and comments will still remain as they were there in a previous version. You can simply replace a video with an improved version of your video. It doesn’t disable your video as it’s not that strict but you have to be careful.

The only thing that I dislike about Vimeo is that it doesn’t have too much of free storage.

The best feature on Vimeo has is that you can put a password on your videos if you don’t want it to be seen by anyone else beside your clients. A password protected video will only been seen if you have a password. You can simply share the link to the video and share the password. And if you don’t want anybody to add comments to your video, you can do that as well. Similarly, you can also restrict viewers from downloading your videos if you don’t want it to be downloaded.

I love the ability to store video files and to create short marketing videos using Vimeo Create.

The cost of Vimeo Create and the fact that you can't pay monthly for this service.

I was looking for an easy-to-use marketing video-creation software, that would allow me to create short videos for my business. Vimeo Create does just that, and it has enabled me to easily create professional-looking marketing videos for my business.

Video quality and the fact that they are always improving and providing new options.

Sometimes they change things for the worse.

As a PRO level member, I use Vimeo to embed videos into my own website, as well as providing videos to clients for review. As a long time user, early on Vimeo blew competition out of the water being affordable and customizable, and it remains true today. Since then they've added so many features that I use it for client review, and delivery of final videos. I was able to cancel a different monthly membership because Vimeo added the same features I was paying a different platform $15/month for. The analytics options are huge. Although I dislike some the changes that have been made to this feature, it's still very valuable and provides insights to how my website is doing beyond typical web analytics. There are other features I use--creating showcases, licensing music, and being listed in the "for hire" section--but those are less important to me. Vimeo is also my go-to website when looking for inspiration or industry related tutorials.

Very good software to get it done, has never had any issues.

I haven't has any issues and its been working great for me the last year or so

I'm able to streamline my workflow and get jobs done quicker and easier than anything I've used before

Easy to use and upload videos. Being able to download videos and share them is really handy.

Sometimes it's hard to figure out settings for security and embedding the videos.

Sharing videos internally or with clients.

The ease of uploading our sermons from our Sunday services. It is very quick upload process and works well as cross functioning with other software we use.

I am not sure there is anything that we dislike of the service.

This gives us a central place to upload all of our messages. We no longer has to have a dedicated hard drive to save all sermons in house.

Vimeo is as intuitive as it should be - you simply drag and drop files to upload videos, and from there can easily rename, change thumbnail, change privacy settings, and share very quickly and easily.

There's not much - virtually everything I've needed to use Vimeo for has been accommodated by the platform.

We often clip segments from TV to share with our clients, who may not always have access to other internal fileshare programs we use (e.g. Box). Vimeo allows us to upload and store all our clips in one central location, while being able to share with clients and requiring a password that we can set so any private materials aren't at risk.

Vimeo has all of the convenience of YouTube without as much of the ads and craziness that you get on YouTube. The streaming quality is clear and the presentation is much better than that of YouTube.

This is likely due to my home Wifi, but sometimes the videos load slowly.

I have watched documentaries for work on Vimeo that are not yet released to the public so you either need the link or a password to see the video. I also use Vimeo to stream workouts. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my workout studio has been closed and has used Vimeo to share videos instead.

I like the variety of videos I am able to access on Vimeo. I show a lot of videos and clips which I cannot always find elsewhere and the quality and accessibility on Vimeo is good. I think this will be another good tool in the distance learning tool box. I am always seeking new ways to connect with my students.

We've had some issues with the "not appropriate for classroom" thumbnails/videos which show up. Sometimes, if I am projecting a video, or getting it set up, I'll notice something which is not appropriate for me to have onscreen below the one I am pulling up. I am not super comfortable linking Vimeo out to my students knowing that's there.

I have found access to documentaries and even some network shows which are perfect for my Sociology and Psychology classes. The stream is usually very good. If we have problems streaming, we can usually solve that with a quick refresh. I am interested in using the livestream feature. I will use that during this pandemic. I didn't know this was available. I also have had some buffering issues.

I like being able to upload videos that don't contain ads and other distracting elements that can take our viewers focus away. The price for the upgrade is good compared to additional hosting costs associates with high quality video streams. The look of Vimeo is minimal and more professional than other popular video hosting solutions. I like the extensive options we get such as embedding and disabling video suggestions at the end of our video's playback.

I haven't run into substantial issues with the performance of our Vimeo videos. If I wanted to make it better, I would probably add more advanced editing features that could give us the same caption control and effects quality that YouTube editing tools have.

For a competitive price, we can use Vimeo to publish web videos that are easy to access through our website, Facebook and through the Vimeo website. We can add keywords in our title and description to have them pop up more frequently in related Google searches. We can also add links that can allow viewers to learn more about our services and other business items.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love the Vimeo staff picks on the front page. The curation is so good and spot on I know I can find something good. Also had a problem recently and was shocked how fast the Vimeo team responded and helped me through it.

There is very little I dislike. Maybe just a complaint that streaming seems slower compared to YouTube on slower connections.

We use it for file transfer between us and customers who are looking to screen films. It’s so much easier compared to Dropbox. It’s both cheaper and easier for our customers to use. We also have so many options with adding in .srt files and everything.

There's YouTube and then there is Vimeo - it feels like two very separate places to house your creative content. As a film/tv producer, this just attracts more of the audience I'm looking for when sharing my videos.

Even with the professional version, it's very easy to reach the upload capacity too quickly - this is a problem when you house a lot of content on Vimeo for clients to review.

This is a one place site for all of my video content for my business. It allows my clients to find videos either publicly or privately in an online environment that feels more private/prestigious than YouTube. This feels like it was made for filmmakers, as opposed to YouTube influencers/bloggers.

Vimeo is widely used for live-streaming video and also online video playing application like You-tube. We are using Vimeo at our company for surfing video on our client's websites so that customers of that websites can play and watch video through vimeo very effectively and smoothly. Overall Vimeo is very clean with minimal controls and efficient video player. It helps developers like us a lot by creating a effective HTML tag by using this tag in website code we can directly give link to that video. Vimeo account creation is also very easy and within 1-2 minutes you're able to create account.

Despite the limitation of size of video that we upload on vimeo server, I just love the vimeo.

At our company, we are using vimeo for our clients and we suggest them to upload their video content on vimeo server. If vimeo was not available then we always need to buy server and then process that server and make it capable of handling and playing video at customer's need and this could be so hectic and highly expensive to handle.

It’s the best softwRe to keep your videos organized!

Sometimes it opens multiple tabs when it’s not necessary.

Video storage!

I like that Vimeo is so simple to work with. Easy to share videos from the sites and view all my videos right there.

That people don't use it as much for posting videos like YouTube. But i feel like it's friendlier for businesses.

That it's a great video platform.

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).

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

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.

It facilitates the exchange of videos as well as generates a greater range of visualization, I love it because I can share and visualize videos with excellent audio quality and resolution with fast downloads which avoids wasting time, a registration is necessary to start using this application It is fast and simple, in my work it is very useful especially to upload promotional materials that streamline the sales process through a good marketing campaign generating a greater number of requests from customers, it is also possible to insert passwords to the videos ensuring its visualization only by specific people.

Vimeo works without problem is fast and how many with a wide range of categories maybe its only disadvantage is that it is not as well known as YouTube but it is really excellent !.

It allows to have access to informative material helping to improve some aspects in terms of knowledge, it is an excellent tool that favors Marketing, in turn it allows to share videos with promotional material that have impacted the public, getting their attention generating a greater number of requests through the publication of business social networks as well as contact numbers being reflected in sales.

Vimeo is user-friendly, professional, and ad-free!

While Vimeo caters to a different audience than YouTube, your product is displayed professionally.

Our non-profit is able to bring awareness to the community and help show our supporters, both near and far, what we are doing inside our doors.

It is a platform that facilitates the visualization of videos, in my work it is very useful because it allows you to share promotional videos in order to increase the volume of sales, I love how easy it is to upload videos and share them and add comments, has a variety of categories which allows to obtain good knowledge and excellent reach, its panel is simple in addition to its registration without download processes, it is an excellent tool to design marketing strategies since it has an excellent quality in sound and resolution besides being interactive and easy to use.

Vimeo is excellent, maybe it is not as well known as Youtube, but it does its job very well and it has not had any kind of inconvenience. It is fast and covers countless audiovisual contents.

Allows to expand the visualization of the products and services offered, insert social networks and contact information to the videos, which allows to accelerate the sales process and be recognized, it is a great option in the Sales and Marketing process, allows to share videos with the team of work doing more interactive daily tasks, get information of ineteres in less time with explanatory videos in order to streamline some activity or increase knowledge about a subject.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
