Vimeo Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

Love the user interface, look and feel of their platform. Far better than the chunky interface of YouTube. Uploading seems to be quicker too.

Not as good for SEO as YouTube, as Google rarely places Vimeo videos in search results and does so for it's own YouTube videos all the time.

No ADS!!! Better quality and streaming speeds. This is the best place you can upload any marketing videos.

YouTube is still a little more mainstream

Has a lot of excellent videos and demonstrations and very easy to use. We use it for various videos and doesn't have all the junk YouTube has on it. Makes it much easier to search in general terms.

Vimeo is a great video storage site where you don't have to worry about ads and such, like what you get on YouTube. The quality is outstanding. Uploading videos is real easy. The collaboration is real, not like the junk you get on YouTube. I showed a YouTube video to my 1-2 grade Sunday School class and when it was over I couldn't believe what popped up on the screen from YouTube .. you won't have that problem here.

Vimeo is very easy to use and has helped us upload embedded videos on our website or funnels. Vimeo cleans up the quality of each video and ensures it will come out clean on our website.

Vimeo has been great with no downsides so far.

Vimeo has allowed us to easily upload videos to be embedded on our website or funnel pages. Its a quick and easy process that ensures clear quality on every upload we've had.

It's effortless to use and intuitive. They have a free tier that gets you up and running without a significant commitment.

Once you go past the free stage, it becomes expensive. I think the plans could provide more value per plan.

The branded video and CMS part. Instead of uploading your videos on a massive platform that does not provide a personalized and branded experience. Vimeo is the best option.

Not only is Vimeo great to store videos, but there's also the option to livestream and archive. It's clean and allows for easy embed. Privacy options are superb -- you can hide and archive videos at ease or provide private viewings with a password. It succeeds YouTube in that regard.

If you're serious about video uploading, you basically have to pay for Vimeo. The free version only allows a certain number of MB uploads a week, which is nearly next to nothing for video uploads. The other down side, is that while embed is easy, it's also limiting. You can't embed the Vimeo player everywhere, inlcuding a web page that contains advertising.

Currently, Vimeo is the place where: personally, I store my portfolio and other videos and professionally, I host webinars and trainings for my clients.

I really like the option to deliver the original PRORES file to our clients, should they need it. I also love how smooth it is to upload our content.

I wish "send file" and "share" were on the same page. It gets confusing when delivering the final product.

It allows us to host the videos we produce for our clients. We also have conducted live streaming through Vimeo as well. It makes providing dileverables much easier.

We used Vimeo for 2 years during the pandemic, first for recorded classes and then latterly for live streaming. The quality is excellent, as is the storage and ease of use. We particularly liked that it is a clean interface for the user as there are no adverts before or after and so the attention of the viewer is not directed away after they have watched our content. This was particularly important to us as we are offering people meditation classes and wanted it to be a peaceful, non-distracting experience. It was helpful to be able to schedule live streams with unique links to send to people and to change the visibility of the links as needed. Eg to make private after a week. The one downside was the price, so as our needs changed, and we streamed less we could no longer justify the cost as a charity and now meet all our streaming needs with zoom. If it wasn't for that we would have loved to continue with vimeo.

That they did not offer charity discounts and that the price is so high for livestreaming.

It helped us solve the problem of being locked down and unable to have physical in person classes and enabled us to reach a wide geographic area in the North of Scotland.

The platform makes it easy to create high-value, live webinars in real-time.

It would be great to get a customer success rep for the license we have.

We wanted to increase the production value of our regular live meet-ups and vimeo allows us to create an incredible live experience with tons of design diversity.

The customer service is particularly good and any time I have contacted them with a question or query, they are always very quick to respond, friendly and helpful.

There are some customisation limitations if you're using the profile page to display your videos. Newly uploaded videos do not automatically appear at the top of your page, and so you have to manually drag every new upload that you want to feature to the top of the page. This is quite time consuming and a bit frustrating, but it's a very small issue in the grand scheme of things, which I'm sure their developers are working on addressing.

Vimeo allows us to easily collaborate with clients when creating video content for them. They can view videos through private links, leave time-stamped feedback/notes, and download the file directly from Vimeo when we get to the final version. Very handy in this scenario as it's a one-stop shop. Vimeo is also our go-to platform for live streaming events and hosting webinars. Our audio visual team just need a stream key and then can plug directly into the platform. We are also able to watch live stats and monitor the comments directly from the Vimeo backend which is great.

Really easy to use and share and embed your videos. I use Vimeo for my websites and it does its job pretty well. Some things are a little bit complicated to set up.

Embeb from time to time can be tricky and is not compatible with everything (had some problem with it). Also if user wants, it is really not that hard to download your videos even if you don't want to. Important to keep that in mind for payed content.

I needed a simple way to embed videos to my web page. Had some issues with YouTube (not playing in loop, showing text and another videos). Vimeo solved mostly all of them.

Das gute Design, die gute Usability und der einfache Review- udn Austauschprozess helfen uns enorm bei der Abwicklung von Videoprojekten aller Art. Auch das Livestreaming für kleinere Projekte ist gut.

Manchaml fehlt uns etwas die Übersichtlichkeit bei Vimeo im gesamten. Stichwort: Videos ordnen, löschen, sodass wir weniger Datenmüll erzeugen. Das neue Abomodell, was nocht mehr Premium heißt, wird usn evtl. auch dazu bringen die Plattform zu wechseln.

Aktuell hilft uns Vimeo dabei den Reviewprozess kundenfreundlich und effizient zu nutzen. Bei Streams (kleine) nutzen wir besonders die iframe Funktion / Einbettungsfunktion

Vimeo males it easy to setup livestreams. If you are looking for a professional service vor livestreaming, there is no better option than Vimeo. Setup, streaming, marketing and on top lots of very interesting tipps to gain knowledge.

Unfortunetly you have to buy a licence for a whole year.

It is a professional plattform that offers lots of important features like embedding the video player into a website or customize the branding and features of the player.

Vimeo is easy to learn and provides excellent support if you run in to any issues. I use it as our primary hosting sight, and it's integrations with other sites like youtube make that continue to be a priority.

There are sometimes changes that are made that can be confusing and not fully explained.

We cannot have everyone in our space at all times. This allows online users to join live, as well as record meetings for documentation purposes.

Publishing videos works instantly, no need to worry about many details which are unimportant in 90% of all cases

Admin user interface can be improved. It is sometimes hard to find options

We use vimeo to quickly get videos online. In many cases we need to include videos in our projects very quickly and do not want to worry abouT unimportant details requiring a lot of attention in other products. We don't want to worry about costs per video but appreciate the flat fee of our premium plan.

Vimeo's live-stream platform is super professional, reliable and easy to use and customize.

Vimeo Premium has been really good but it is quite pricy.

We use Vimeo's live streaming platform to host branded livestreaming events and webinars for our clients.

I love having us on Roku TV. It has been a challenge setting us the other options.

I paid already for the year of the live streaming for events. I tried it multiple times and it never airs on the sites it is supposed to.

We always wanted to reach and educate families worldwide on preterm birth. We have done that with the help of vimeo and roku.

One of the key reasons I selected Vimeo over youtube for video hosting is simply that Vimeo will not promote content to my traffic that would divert them from my content.

The interface can be wonky - and I've had instances where I wasn't able to edit things like the thumbnails without a bit of hassle.

When hosting video on youtube, they would show advertiser content, and 'suggest' other videos that take traffic away.

The showcase bases are super easy to build and a great way for me to show off a series of videos to a group of prospective clients. This has been helpful for both new hires and prospects.

I don't love the way you add subtitles to videos. This was not intuitive the first time I attempted to use the feature. I wish I could also choose the location of the subtitle.

Hosting videos outside of a platform with advertising. It's important for us to have a branded experience without the interruption of other competitors or irrelevant ads.

Vimeo is most helpful for hosting videos that we then embed on our company website. We don't always drive to Vimeo, but when we do, it is a great interface.

Sometimes features feel like they're hidden or hard to access.

Vimeo helps create a platform for us to host videos on to then embed on our website.

Vimeo is an excellent tool to have for hosting videos and allowing people to Livestream those videos without any latency issues, and it gives us a smooth experience. We can also host live webinars and events using Vimeo, which is a very useful feature.

Vimeo lack features like enhancing Livestream videos and adding delay to them. Their audio quality is also a little bit below the quality mark that you can expect from it.

Vimeo is helping me conduct regular webinars with my customers to keep them updated on our offerings. Vimeo is also helping me to conduct live sessions, which helps me a lot.

We often have multiple teams working on different stages of video content, and Vimeo allows us to organize and share content back and forth between users with a clear sense of where we are in a project.

The only downside I have noticed as a user is that it took some time to figure out how content was organized, and we occasionally run into a bug and can't save a video with a review link.

Vimeo makes it possible for content creators, multimedia editors and clients to each see what they need while developing video content without creating extra difficulties for one another.

Vimeo is more creator specific than audience specific. I liked to have its app on my phone for some time as it served as a more refined alternative to youtube. I also liked the vimeo on demand feature which was thoughtful for the creators and artists.

One of the reasons I had to opt-out of vimeo were the pricing plans and the other was their web app. I tried their website while experimenting to upload my videos but found it to be a task, as the interface wasn't as user friendly as their app.

Vimeo made efforts to focus on artists and creators while building their video-sharing app. I benefitted from it by getting good quality content and to know that my money was directly going to the artist was satisfying.

I really like the revamped backend. It has intuitive navigation in most aspects.

I super dislike that if I search for something within my account it only searches my videos. There's another search for all things Vimeo. And it's not intuitive.

I really like the mobile accessibility, much much better than years past. Overall it seems more solid and stable, but I feel it is focusing much more on branding / marketing than on corporate comms.

Easy to use, good dashboard, easy file system, several featured options

right now it has all the features i need

I need to download/upload videos for virtual events and Vimeo provides the place to do it. The benefit to have it in one platform, that I can organize by events, and being able to go public/private gives me a lot flexibility.

Livestream Studio is an excellent add-on tool.

THe organization of videos on the back-end interface is a bit confusing and not intuitive.

Since Covid, there has been an increase in video content being produced, and Vimeo has been a clutch for our web and event services.

It can store hundreds of videos to the website

When logged in to the profile it shows 2 search bar which is confusing

Sharing company videos on our own website

What I like best is the overall ease-of-use of this platform from a video publishing standpoint, and also too the tools offered for video publishing on this platform. Generally, the breadth of these features are comparable, if not better, to other platforms/publishers in this space. I also find it is a faster publisher than others as well, which can be very helpful too!

As far as platforms go, it is very good and serviceable, especially at the speed you can utilize in video publishing posting, but I believe that the internal/external audience could be improved, and by that I mean grown, at least from my standpoint.

Video publishing and some light editing in a very timely manner (their internal posting process is more streamlined I feel)
