I love how easy it is to use - super intuitive and extremely customizable. The channel function is very helpful to share tons of relevant content at once. It is also very visually appealing - the UI is easy to learn and embedded videos look realy great, especially with customizable branding. I also appreciate that they are consistently rolling out new features that are relevant to my needs and they really listen to their users regarding features they would like to see.
I really cannot thinking of anything - it's a great tool.
We have a lot of webinars at my company, and after a webinar it's important to easily share content with registrants and attendees. Being able to easily embed a Wistia video on our landing page is great, and the channel features makes it very easy to share a large amount of relevant content at once.
I love that it can be branded for my company, is very professional-looking, and has great analytics.
Nothing to speak of. I like everything about it.
Allows me to require pre-workshop video reviews.
It's designed for the marketer in mind, with tools that really help drive engagement and backend metrics that help inform future campaigns. I think compared to competitors it certainly fills a niche!
It doesn't offer the same level of deep analytics that youtube is able to achieve, although it's hard to compete with a platform that has all of your personal information and knows what you like to engage with through its different product offerings (search, drive, photos)
it's helping us deliver a great video experience while iterating on feedback by marketers. It feels very much like a simplified version of youtube that gives us what we need.
Ease of use. External Channels and internal projects are incredibly helpful.
Downside of Wistia is that the transcripts aren't as great/accurate as they could be.
Collaboration across departments and podcast distribution. Saves time and energy.
Easy to use, intuitive. Plenty of new functionality coming regularly. I specially like the captions.
To add a non-real background to your video while presenting is not possible. And that is usually very handly specially in this era when we work from home.
We needed a simple tool to allow us not only host a vast amount of videos in an structure way (via Wistia Channels we can solve that) but also to run Live Webinars, and we able to capture stats about attendance.
Ease of use, layout, plus is is fairly intuative
The editing part of videos can be a little buggy

The quality of the product, the integration into our CMS and the available analytics are all top notch. While we rarely have issues, anytime I've reached out to customer support I've gotten quick and helpful feedback.
My only complaint is that there are definitely less expensive options, however the product has been worth the spend.
Wistia has been great from the start! From getting help migrating all our content from our old service, to getting our folders and channels set up and having an easy to use implementation into our CMS, we've really benefited from switching to Wistia. While not the cheapest option out there, it's more than paid for itself with the quality of the product and support. It was a great move for us
Wistia's user interface is very easy to use and teach to others. Embedding and channel usuage have made for great final products for projects. Being able to customize functionally based on company brands is always high on my list of favorites.
Not being able to see in video analytics is highly annoying. If you click into a video, each video has more detailed interaction stats that you can't access anywhere else.
Time on Brand is the most important thing when we decided to choose a video content host.
It is easy to use and delivers information that is useful to optimize video content delivery
That additional videos are billed monthly. I woud prefere another purchase for 50, 100 videos per year
Easy hosting, privacy of videos so that only registered customers can watch
Wistia is easy to use, easy to set up an account, easy to add videos, easy to integrate, easy to administer and not expensive. We used it to record and present internal meetings, customer training and internal technical employee training. Some of the videos had hundreds and hundreds of views. Customer support, the few times I needed it, was polite, knowledgeable, and resolved my issue quickly. I personally used Wistia or referred people to the videos several times per week. There were a couple of times when an internal meeting recording was used to resolve who said what disputes.
I'm not just saying this but, my experience was only positive, I have no dislikes.
Wistia was a very convenient way to store and present video training.
