Compare Wistia with other popular tools in the same category.
Wistia is extremely user friendly and their support staff is very helpful and responsive.
I wish there were more options for privacy and sharing.
My company has now uploaded and stored training videos and webinars to our Wistia account. The integration ability with Pardot is huge and helping take a big load off of our Ops team's shoulders! Our emails look way more professional and the analytics available are excellent to help show engagement.
The simplicity of using Wistia, it was an easy part of the onboarding process.
I really haven't found a component I dislike.
Syncing videos to our online website, for landing pages
The interface is so easy-to-use! And it's visually pleasing. We have several team members contribute and it's been one of the easiest software platforms on which to onboard new team members. I also love the Soapbox plug-I and how easy it is to record videos.
As we've grown, we've found that when we need to re-organize or re-do folders, it's a little cumbersome. I wish there was a really simple way to review files & folders and move them around (like Dropbox)
We use it to put websites videos on our site, from Help Articles to marketing pages. It's easily integrated with all of our other systems, and it makes it easy to add our logo or quick calls-to-action.
Wisita updates their platform as video evolves. They are always adding new features and their blog and video tips/how-to's are so relevant to the needs of their clients. While we grow, they seem to anticipate what the currents needs of the hosted video markets are and make adjustments and updates.
No HDR support (that I can uncover) , can't move annotations wherever you want
The need for video pages, linking customers from our videos to relevant pages. The ability to host podcasts and video channels has changed how we use video for our business
The ease of use and responsiveness. The whole brand is just solid and enables us to represent our brand in a strong, suitable way.
It's not something that particularly integrates well, often third party people will request for videos in Vimeo, YouTube or other formats and Wistia isn't supported in the same way. However we always manage to talk people through how to embed the videos so it's workable and not a huge negative.
We stream all our videos through Wistia and the ability to update media on the same link means we can mass update across our website.
Wistia is the best platform for us to share and keep all of our company videos in one place.
Nothing - checks all boxes we need it to.
Wistia allows us to keep all of our videos in one place and everyone can access them and share them at any time.
Video replacement is a life-saver, especially for keeping our training videos up to date. Not worrying about having to reembed videos for each update has been a game-changer. I love the community and the ideas that Wistia fosters. We implemented the idea of "video gifs" on our blog we learned from the community, and it looks fantastic and adds a great dynamic. Stats and CRM integrations are great.
Organization is our biggest challenge. I think that Wisitia probably has the ability to make this better for us, but right now, that's something we are fighting with.
Video hosting that isn't YouTube looks a million times more professional (and doesn't suggest random videos to take them away from our site at the end). It really is a no-brainer to have business-centric video hosting.
Wistia makes it easy to upload video content, customize it within their platform, and easily embed video content to other places and track performance.
Honestly can't think of any downsides - Wistia has given me everything I need in a video management platform.
We need a centralized place to host all of our videos, manage and organize them, track performance, and syndicate videos across various channels. Wistia has helped us do all of this, measure the performance of our videos, and have one centralized place to do it all.
Wistia's video hosting and analytics tools are super easy to use and functional. I love the heatmaps of viewer interactions with our videos, CTA functionality, and the hubspot integration. Furthermore, their knowledge center and support team have helped further my skills time and time again.
There's just one thing: I wish there were more ways to organize and sort through your video library.
My company is hosting videos, using Wistia channels to keep viewers on our site longer, and diving into the analytics to learn what's working and what isn't.
I use Wistia to host all my webinar sessions and it is pretty well doing its job.
Nothing so far. I dont have any issues related to the app
1. Video Hosting 2. Easy categorization of videos 3. Channel facility
