Vimeo Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

Vimeo does best on mobile compared to any other premium video hosting service. No ads and easy uploads.

Nothing really, the linking for particular minutes and seconds gets stripped out of some social posts, like Facebook, but that isn't Vimeo's problem.

We've been able to share insurance conferences for the past 4 years with Vimeo. It beats the ad-heavy alternatives out there, like YouTube, that take away from the experience of brandless, and adless, embedding.

I love it. Lots of videos and people to follow.

Nothing at all. Works very well. Very happy

Watching videos ... doesn’t buffer .. great program

I love the quality of the video on the platform.

I don't think there is really a lot to dislike about Vimeo Pro. It's a great product.

We do a lot of review with different folks in different areas using Vimeo Pro -- and it's a great solution for showing video.

Vimeo exceeded all expectations. When uploading videos, Vimeo would fork the file into multiple deliverables to have options to provide each user with the optimum file for their device/bandwidth. The security features were excellent. You can define passwords for videos or set specific sites that videos can be played on, but blocked from all others. There were other Intro and Outtro features that can be set with the tool (we didn't use this, but were aware of the capability). The analytics dashboard provided key details on video consumption. This allowed us to gather key information on what videos were successful and what made videos successful.

This isn't necessarily something I dislike but just a truth to share after videos are final my teams and I have always moved our videos to YouTube and social media vs. hosting them on Vimeo since YouTube is more universally used. My teams have known you can link Vimeo videos to YouTube, etc. and even initiate paid advertising through the Vimeo portal but for videos on YouTube and other channels but that always seemed like too much work / not worth it when you can go handle business with YouTube directly.

To be able to showcase artistic work digitally.

Ease of use, we can make our videos private to just our organization. Easy to share across all of our platforms.

Only 20gb/week of storage. That limits the quality of videos we can upload. I understand that we could upgrade to a program with more storage, but for our organization, the pro plan is the best price for what we need to do.

Putting all of our videos on a private platform. Youtube just doesn't work for what we want to do. We've been able to publish to all of our platforms from Vimeo.

Its ease of use. I needed to add a video to a company newsletter and it was extremely simple and easy to do.

I had to wait for about 30 minutes for the video to get ready.

We were able to use it to add a video to our newsletter. This makes it an exciting read. The benefit is that I do not have to write any code to add it.

I love that it is fully customizable and I can track all my viewers. I use this on my website for my online store and can follow-up if needed.

There really isnt anything that I dislike about it. It is a great program!

I can upload all of my work that I have and have not completed as of yet for others to review. I can take full control with secure video links, password protection, private projects, and all the storage you could ever need

Cost economical, Storage space is great, team collaboration, pro stats, professional player customisation, Review tools, customisable portfolio sizes, private mode, video on demand, can upload with ads

Need editing software to integrate ads before uploading

The problem of having my brand totally marketed by the one watching. Now I can customize nearly every aspect of the player, from the play bar to what happens after your video plays. With Vimeo PRO and Business, you can even put your logo on our player.

I like it a lot because it has solid privacy control functions and also the video review functions are excellent. The videos can be presented as private review links, which would allow private comments and a personalized interface for the clients.

It is difficult to deal with and identify errors because this application is phenomenal. I feel that what I receive for the annual fee is excellent, but, undoubtedly, as an independent filmmaker I find it a bit expensive. But even that seems a little exaggerated with what I got when using Vimeo Pro.

With Vimeo Pro, I could set up a premium section with videos that can only be seen as a member of (not free) Premium Plan. I set the videos to not only displayed on Vimeo and embedded in a particular domain. All without the need to house the videos myself so that videos load quickly and privacy we need.

The quality of videos and sound are much better then youtube. Theres also lots of inspirational videos for those who is looking at the creative approach

If you have not the best internet speed you may have troubles

Only 20gb per week but for those who uploading regularly it maybbe a problem., so you should consider

It easy to pay friends or vendors. Can't bet the convenience of it.

I am okay with everything at the time no issues

Being able to get paid on the spot after doing a job

I like how clean Vimeo is. It seems to have a reputation for higher quality works, unlike YouTube where you have to sort through the good and the bad. Because of this we signed up for their Pro plan so we could sell episodes of our web series. It was simple and straightforward to use, had a beautiful interface and made it very easy to share our videos through social media. We had our own page specifically for the web series where customers could purchase and download each episode individually or the entire series all at once. There were plenty of options for sharing online and we were able to make good use of social media to get our work out where people could see it. It also had places where people could review and comment, and even recommend to others, all on a clean, customizable page for our series (which we were able to customize to match the look and feel of the series itself, including color scheme and images).

For some reason people weren't always able to figure out how to purchase our episodes or full series, so perhaps that could be made clearer.

We were able to sell our fantasy web series in episodes and as a season through Vimeo, giving more credibility to our small film company and reach more viewers. Because of Vimeo's reputation it lent a certain professionalism to our production.

I like how Vimeo integrates well with other platforms. The appearance is much more professional than YouTube, in my opinion.

I don't love the maximum upload limit per week, but I can live with it.

Vimeo actually integrated much more smoothly with an app on my website than YouTube did. This is why I needed to move my videos over to Vimeo.

So easy to navigate, great quality. And I love the ability to make collections and password protect them so easily.

I honestly can't think of anything. Vimeo has done for us all we needed!

We have a lot of online educational videos and students that are all across the country. Vimeo has allowed us to password protect videos that we only want our students to see and give them easy access to them.

I like that vimeo is easy to use and affordable for a small business owner.

I have never had a problem using vimeo or contacting their support team.

I use vimeo to host all of my training video replays. I like knowing that my videos are accessible and don't risk being removed by free services.

The ability to upload content and share it with a mass audience. My audience doesn't have to log in to view.

It is hard to download directly for users (especially if my content isn't in need of securing). There are third party websites to download youtube videos.

The display is professional for our audience.

Easy to share video’s without having to send people the original file.

The free version has not enough storage to use every week.

Promoting my work is made very easy this way.

I like the ability to store videos on our Vimeo account, search for older videos at a moment's notice and use video review pages for others to watch our content. I also love that Vimeo offers an option to hide videos from other users. As a private company, we have a lot of private content, and being able to share it with a link and offer password protection are both major pluses!

The fact that you have to pay a monthly subscription to reach a certain level of upload capacity. For a large business, this may not be an issue, but for small businesses or individual users, this may not be feasible. A lot of people recommend using Vimeo over other sites (like YouTube) for one's video portfolio, but when a single video maxes out the upload capacity, the limitations are evident.

We use Vimeo to post video projects and share them with others in our organization. We use the video review pages and send a link to our site managers for some of more high profile videos. Otherwise, we use the software a storage site, allowing us to find, download and send older videos whenever others send a request.

It's easy to use and a professional platform to showcase film and video. Good for showing clients. Easy to embed on websites. I also love the feature that allows clients to comment on videos at specific points and provide feedback -- good for situations where you are a work for hire and uploading rough cuts of a project and want your client's feedback.

When showcasing original content/film, it can be challenging to get "noticed" in the crowd. Vimeo features a "staff picks" but they receive a lot of submissions and requests for that.

Hosting video online in a professional manner. You can also privately upload video to share with clients. One of the services we provided was creating original content and there is a service that allows viewers to specify feedback to specific frames.

I love the fact that we can control who has access to our videos by providing them with a password to view. Also, I like the fact that we can turn off the embed feature so that people cannot steal our work. I also love the reporting tool so we can see how many viewers watch our commercials after we send out an email blast with a link to the videos.

I have no complaints with Vimeo in the time we have been using it. Everything has always worked well and I haven't had any issues with it crashing or anything.

We needed a way to share examples of our television commercials with our potential clients without having them be completely visible to our competitors as well. Vimeo has been the perfect solution.

Vimeo provides a one stop shop for all of our video hosting because it automatically compresses video in multiple formats and then provides the user with the quality best suited to their connection speed and device.

They could provide a better management system on site for sharing groups of Videos. Currently it is difficult to organize the videos once you have them put into a collection. I would consider this a huge problem

Vimeo helps us deliver high quality videos to our students which leaves us free to focus on producing the best videos we can while they worry about getting the videos in a format that is viewable by the end user

Vimeo makes it easy to upload, tag, manage, and share your video files with individuals, teams, or the general public. It automatically scales the video file to the bandwidth availability of the requestor. It's sharing capabilities with Wipster and other tools make workflow easy to set up and use.

I'd like there to be a program between pro (20Gb/week) and business (3Tb/year).

Vimeo lets me share work-in-progress or consulting session workshops confidentially with clients and contractors. It lets me share 'dailies' with clients so that they can see the progress of our facilitated sessions and workshops even if they are far away. Vimeo has made my deliverables better and given me an edge over competitors.

It is a great tool to use to show a video of many areas. Specifically, we get to see how our doctors input time for the their compensation, and are able to use it as an on-boarding tool to make sure they are doing it correctly. It is also really easy to use and set up, and the videos are good quality

It can sometimes be slow to load, or buffer which can be annoying. I'm not sure if that is directly related to the internet speed in general, but it can be annoying.

We are using it for onboarding, time entry, videos to show updates; for fun also

So many different privacy settings - great for proprietary content

Processing can sometimes take a while and you cannot make some changes while it is doing so

It's any easy way to host but also protect your videos

Clean interface, easy upload/download, excellent sharing tools. Overall, very simple to use.

Don't love the album structure. Would like a little more control on password protection and album access.

We needed a way to share password-protected videos with various people and groups. This gave us the platform needed to do this.

If you´re looking for a reliable video hosting provider, look no further, Vimeo is the right tool for you. I love to bits the fact that Vimeo doesn´t impose advertisements on my videos. Furthermore, I´m so happy that Vimeo enables me to use a great arsenal of advanced options: I can protect my videos privacy, so that they´re only seen on the domains I choose; I can disable Vimeo´s logo, so that the video player looks like a white label tool! I can also add the function for increasing or decreasing the speed of my videos, and I can choose to place any thumbnail as the beginning and end for my videos. I love you Vimeo!!!

I know that Vimeo is the greatest video tool I´ve ever found. Nevertheless, there´s a thing I don´t really like about Vimeo: when I´m on the control panel to enable or disable options such as adding the wide screen widget or adding the widgets for the video title and user name over the video, I have to enable them one by one, and save the changes one by one. It would be great if I could first choose all the widgets I want to enable or disable, and then just confirm these changes once at the end.

Serious workers (either freelance workers or enterprises) need their own video hosting that makes them look professional when they share their videos with current and prospect clients. If they share videos that are stored on YouTube, they don´t look really professional because all of their videos will have YouTube´s logo; however, if they share their videos on a player that doesn´t show a third party logo (like YouTube), then they´ll look really professional. This is a serious business problem that Vimeo solves!

Fast pretty, and you are surrounded by other quality content

Not as easy as youtube- but getting closer.

show videos to clients

Large storage space, clean interface, ease of use, and no ads. The password protection is very helpful.

The cost of the pro account feels fairly high, especially as a non-profit. I would like a feature that allows comments at specific points in the video, similar to what Soundcloud has for audio.

We use it to upload private video content that we are in various stages of refining. Not ready for public consumption yet, and allows our staff to review and give feedback.

Processing time is reasonable, there are good privacy options and its a stable and reliable video hosting platform for videos on wordpress sites.

Sometimes the smallest change in settings can result in the embedded video just deciding not to play. Also its quite annoying to get to your albums/channels from the home page. IT SHOULD BE RIGHT THERE but you have to go to profile to find it.

Hosting videos for sites and sending previews. The password feature is great.

The simplicity of Vimeo is one of its best attributes. I don't pretend to be massively tech savvy. I can work my way round programmes but Vimeo didn't make me feel like an idiot. The ease of uploading videos and being able to ensure the settings were correct to ensure privacy was straightforward and clear. It just made sense what it was asking me to do and there were clear instructions throughout. Being able to acces the embed code to then display the video on our LMS is brilliant. It saves our users bandwidth as they don't have to download the vidoes themselves.

There is nothing that I really disliked regarding Vimeo. The time it took to prepare the videos once we had uploaded them was a bit long on occasions but loads better than another hosting site we have tried to use before, which insisted on approving videos we uploaded before they were made available. This could take up to a week. Some of the privacy settings on Vimeo weren't very clear on occassions but through trial and error I was able to work out what was the best settings for our videos.
