Wistia has been able to allow us to grow and try new things through their service, for example live streaming!

"Great Video Hosting Platform"
What do you like best about Wistia?

Wistia is easy to use, self-explanatory tool. It helps me upload my videos and share them in different formats an is SEO friendly! What more could you ask for! The most helpful tool inside of wistia for me is the 'Share' feature, where you could connect your social accounts and share your videos directly.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

The edit feature is my least favourite, I'd like to add filters and a better crop method to the edit

"So user friendly"
What do you like best about Wistia?

As a Creative Producer, I love using Wistia to send videos to my clients. The interface looks slick, and I can use the replace function to keep on top of versions.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

One thing I don't like about Wistia is that you aren't shown the different channels when you log in as an account owner. As a manager, I can move quickly between client channels upon logging in - but as an owner, I can't. I have logged this as an issue with the Wistia team before.

What problems is Wistia solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a Creative Producer, it feels more professional to be able to send outputs on a platform that isn't a streaming platform like Youtube or Vimeo. My clients like to have their own channels and be able to access all the content we've made for them.

"So glad I found Wistia!"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I love that this platform is 100% reliable.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

There's nothing that I don't love about it!

What problems is Wistia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wistia allows me to deliver my online classes is a dependable, reliable way. The speed at which the videos are delivered is excellent, and the content is 100% available, 100% of the time. Formerly, I delivered my videos via another platform and they were slow to play, but when I switched to Wistia, the problem was solved. Now my clients enjoyed streamed video content the is embedded in my website, complete with all my branding. I love Wistia! Further, the pricing is affordable. I can deliver content at a fraction of the cost the I was paying before. And Wistia continues to add features without raising the monthly price. The value is outstanding, and I often recommend Wistia to others. In the online learning environment, speed and dependability are key. And that's what I get with Wistia. Perfect performance at a price I can afford. Who can argue with that?

"Great Service and Company"
What do you like best about Wistia?

We have been using Wista for about 10 years now and the data we get from their video analytics is great. It really helps our business and allows us to improve our video content. Plus all the new features they constantly add to the service make for a great product.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

I preferred when I could call in and get someone right away. Now that they are much bigger we have to send in a request if we have a question. Having said that they are quick to respond and always very friendly and helpful.

What problems is Wistia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wistia helps us tracks our video usage and helps us determine who watched our video and for how long. Video analytics is great!

"Only gets better"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I like Wistia because of its range of content support. I love the analytics, the ability to replace media and build upon its stats and it makes sharing video content easy. There are plenty of new things to learn that I am not even fully immersed in all of the features and things that I know its capable of. I love their resources as well and their self-produced content.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

Honestly, nothing sticks out to me as a big dislike. I do work in a team environment so sometimes I do run into permission issues at odd times but that's the only issue I can think of.

What problems is Wistia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wistia makes sharing and organizing video content easy. I feel like there are so many flexible options and analytics that help from a performance aspect. It's nice to see the trends and breakdowns.
