Compare Wistia with other popular tools in the same category.
While I don't have a ton of experience with similar softwares, Wistia does everything I could imagine I need. It is a great way to store videos and share them outside the company.
I cannot really think of something that I dislike about Wistia.
Wistia gives me one place to centralize and store all of my videos and share them externally
I love that Wistia can be used to store and organize all my videos into one centralized platform
I don't like that there isn't an easy way to get analytics on specific folders, rather than the whole account itself.
Wistia has been able to allow us to grow and try new things through their service, for example live streaming!
The publishing experience is very easy to follow, and the interface for publishers is very robust. It has all the tools I need like tracking engagement.
Nothing specific to dislike, but it would be great if there were integrations with recording apps like Zoom
Publish and manage on-demand video content for a specific target audience
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.
The edit feature is my least favourite, I'd like to add filters and a better crop method to the edit
Easy reference tool, one hub to store all your videos
For a video editor it's a super useful tool
Sometimes it doesn't work well and I can't put comments on different videos
It allows me to give some feedback right away
How easy it is to use and organize videos
Nothing so far! Everything is good for me
Easily uploading videos onto our website
One place for all the video needs and helps maintain your content library at one place
Uploading process can take some time but its standard
Youtube currently acts as the main hosting platform for all videos however its not built for business needs
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.
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.
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.
I love that this platform is 100% reliable.
There's nothing that I don't love about it!
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?
I appreciate Wistia's easy-to-use user interface.
I hope that moving forward Wisita can provide more robust data analytics on videos.
Having a central repository of our company's large video library is a tremendous value for us.
Continue to make upgrades and provide value and is easy to use.
I have only been working with wistia for 6+ months and have yet to come across an issue.
We moved our product videos from youtube to wistia to better drive traffic to our site.
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.
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.
Wistia helps us tracks our video usage and helps us determine who watched our video and for how long. Video analytics is great!
The analytics and report is game changing. The customisation to video settings and thumbnail images/videos is also the best going around.
It's not the most cost effective platform, especially when you have a large amount of videos.
Conversions on my sales pages and also getting my message out to as many people as possible.
I like how user-friendly it is, and easy it makes embedding videos into my website.
Nothing, I think it's a great tool and think it is good as is.
best way to embed a video
I love the usability and ease of Wistia and analytics function other platforms don't have (AWS).
The search feature almost pulls too many results and isn't as narrowed as it could be based on key words or phrases
Caption inputs and analytics are greatly helping us improve our company KPIs
Really useful platform to upload and share videos. Easy to create separate folders and keep track of the video analytics.
If you want to view a document, you need to download it.
Helps to understand what content is more useful to users.
the ability to embed video links into landing pages
I would like more organization to better navigate the site
central location for my team to share videos as a group
The ability to customize every aspect of the viewer's experience
While there is not much to dislike, HD video takes quite some time to become available after cencoding.
Offering the ability to add a CTA at the end of the video so as to direct users to the next step.
We use Wistia for multiple clients. The user interface is very intuitive and easy to use.
We use Wistia for everything, so I am most upset when other parties do not integrate.
Wistia is our video hosting tool. We use Wistoa to keep client websites light and fast.
I love that we can replace videos and everywhere it's linked to will automatically update
There's not much I can think of that doesn't work well
It helps us distribute videos seamlessly - I love that we can embed them into our website and emails
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.
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.
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.
The Customize option for videos. Adding
chapters to a video is an exceelent option.
Storing and sharing a large number of videos across the organization and customer base.
Wistia has been an excellent solution for our corporate video needs. We're able to host videos on Wistia and link to them on our website seamlessly, as well as use Wistia to curated customized libraries of content based on our business needs for various departments.
I really don't have any dislikes! Wistia has been great for us.
We wanted a video hosting solution that was ad-free for website purposes, and something that could be used to create multiple libraries as well.
It's so simple to use, create folders that can be private or public
Having to download or upload videos can be time consuming.
Giving each client their own folder where they can easily access all their recordings.
It can be very simple for quick things. It can be more complex if you need it.
Sometimes you can make the software too complicated for yourself.
Wistia provides a simple solution for uploading customer trainings and software issues. I can't imagine using another platform.
Easy of use, affordability, robustness,
I don't see any downsides for the platform
Easy access to our videos for prospects, transcripts, editing
I love how I can easily edit and track videos in Wistia - the interface is incredibly user friendly and makes it easy to quickly put videos together and share!
I wish I could embed links directly into videos, rather than just in the video caption. This might be an existing feature I'm not aware of, though!
Wistia enables me to share videos without needing to embed them on my own website, making it easy to link helpful videos to email campaigns & help articles.
Wistia has great reporting on video consumption which is great.
No downsides really. Working great for me.
I'm getting clear stats on how visitors and potential customers are consuming my videos.
Continuous player improvements, culture, education, support.
Player lacks Caption font customizations. Wistia doesn't load sometimes on Apple's "Safari" browser.
Helping put our stories, both internal and external, product demos and insights onto an easy-to-view medium.
I like how intuitive the software is to use!
I don't find that there is anything in particular I dislike
Love having a library where all videos live
