Compare Vimeo with other popular tools in the same category.
As a novice for video on demand, I've found the user interface to be fairly clear and easy to determine steps without having to dig into the training. The ability to share videos and establish privacy settings has been extremely helpful as we build out our library of lectures.
Some features are not as intuitive as I would like, but I may just be biased based on other system experiences. For instance, getting to the subtitles/captions area can be tedious and doesn't seem as easy to find as other items on the site.
Embedding videos into our LMS is super easy using Vimeo and it allows us easier control when videos need to be updated or captions added than it would be within the LMS.
I love the automatic transfer of my livestream yoga classes from Zoom into my Vimeo account. It makes it much easier for me to get content to my subscribers almost immediately after class.
Maybe it's my internet speed, which I've upgraded, but sometimes it takes forever to open and play videos in my account. I also would like to see cut and paste options in the video trimming features.
The integration of Zoom with Vimeo has saved me a lot of time. The privacy settings are beneficial as I'm able to set which videos are public, private, unlisted and hidden.
The biggest advantage to using Vimeo is that it allows you to lock videos to limited specific domains and/or to offer them for sale. I have recommended Vimeo to people for each of these properties individually and used both options myself — we've also done awesome things like embed a Vimeo live stream into our community platform and then have the recording auto-embedded after the event. It all works pretty smoothly once you figure out the initial tech setup.
That said, it does require a bit of technically know how to get things set up and running correctly - as the "techy" on my team it did take a bit of training to get the rest of the team up and running with how it all works.
Vimeo makes it easy to create videos that clients and customers need to pay to access - whether using Vimeo's built-in eCommerce options or embedding the videos behind a paywall in another platform.
Vimeo takes all the pain points from its major competitor and gives the customers what they want! The features for embedding on our website are the reason we signed up, but there are a lot of other benefits too!
We haven't had too much to complain about in terms of Vimeo and the features that they offer. The only thing that I can think of is that the monthly fee would be better if it was based on view time instead of storage space, etc.
When we embedded our videos from another platform, we lost control over display issues such as hiding the title on the thumbnail, hiding the channel icon, and related items. The videos looked horrible on our site. We decided to try Vimeo and our embedded video thumbnails look 1,000 times better!
On Vimeo, we can upload high-quality videos and its analytics are the best, and very easy to use, they don't display ads in between videos so user enjoys only videos
I didn't get a chance to dislike in fact Vimeo is used for Business and on other streaming platforms you get a mixed crowd, so I think this is the best, we get a proper business feel on Vimeo.
Vimeo has a free version and also gives you specific bandwidth to use, that's very good. The best part is you can edit previously uploaded videos and their views, and comments won't be removed
We use Vimeo's API which has proven to be robust enough for our business needs. Our favorite feature is the detailed analytics we can get on each viewer who views the video.
We put a lot of videos into Vimeo and we've found it hard to organize them in a way that makes them easy to find when accessing them via the website. However, since we primarily use the API, this isn't a big ussue.
We wanted to have a seamless way to display user-generated videos onto our platform as well as obtain analytics on who viewed those videos. It was also important that the API was extremely stable.
The platform is easy to use. Plus, it continues to grow. There is ample storage, easy video sharing and review features, plus you can now do simple cuts in your videos.
The team is constantly listening to customers and making improvements. I have no dislikes.
Vimeo makes it easy for us to share both draft videos as well as finished products. Plus it serves as a library where we can store and share lots of our videos.
- Easy to upload the video and perform edits - Excellent quality after upload also and provides the embed code to keep the video on any website - It decreases website load time
- Sometimes, playback is much slower to load than YouTube
- During website development, the client demands to display video even for a short explanation, we prefer Vimeo.
I like how Vimeo is not radical about copyright in the same way that youtube is.
Can be more difficult to navigate than youtube. Videos are much less searchable
Better for privacy. You can create private videos. There is less community and less monetization
The possibility of uploading a group of videos from a mac extension
That sometimes it fails to upload videos and you lose some time.
Store videos, organize them in lists and send to my contacts
