Wistia Reviews & Product Details

I manage all of the content for a SAAS help center, which includes live webinars and 75+ short instructional videos that are pretty regularly updated. Wistia makes it so easy to manage that video content with the project folders, easy to use tools to enhance the videos with chapters and in-video action buttons, options to replace media with new versions and archive old content without losing it completely. I also love the automated transcript and captioning tools, which help me make the video content more accessible. Could not do my job nearly this well without Wistia!

My only complaint is that for their live webinar hosting tools, each webinar has its own registration link. We used to use a different program that allowed us to have one persistent registration link for our ongoing weekly live webinar where clients could select their desired upcoming date and we didn't have to have separate links for each session. Wistia's live hosting tools are still a pretty new feature though, so hopefully this is an option they'll consider adding in the future. All of the other live webinar tools, especially the embedded chat and Q&A tools are vastly superior to our previous provider, though.

It helps me manage my help center's video content and offers great tools for me to ensure the content is professional looking and capable of being embedded directly in my help center. Makes my job easier!

Video is easy to upload. The main features we use include: selecting a thumbnail, determining what the playback video options are, removing comments, embedding it into the website and branding the video with our colors and look. They've recently added AI that allows for auto-transcripts and captions.

The price of Wistia has substantially increased which may be a barrier to entry for some.

The web service we use doesn't have a native video upload that works for us, so we use Wistia for embedding videos onto our external website and hosting videos in our LMS. We've also used it to record live video conversations as a split screen.

Wistia's interface is what I like most about it. I am also love how easy it is to replace a video while maintaining existing stats. It is really easy to track analytics and see what type of videos perform best. Wistia is feauture-rich allowing us to add turnstiles and calls to action. I use Wistia nearly every day, and it works really well with the goals of my organization.

I don't know what I'd change about Wistia.

Wistia allows for easy data gathering about video performance, and it is an extremely user-friendly video host.

Several aspects of thi splatform are great, first, the videos are secured, and can be hidden from SEO's like GOOGLE and others. Keep your corporate videos private! The editing features in Project makes online edit (althoug somewhat liimted) ver easy and quick. The video properties, like thumbnails, controls, call outs and closed captions are awesome.

I wish teh editing features in WISTIA's prpjct were avalbile in Channels as well and to be be a litlle more functions to it. Splitting videos, etc...

Allows us to offer videos in a secured way, no SEO listings and also pricing is great for the amount of videos we have, it would costs significantly more if we had to use our own video sever.

Wistia is easy to use and they also continue to innovate and creating new features. I love their transcription feature within the platform where you can get closed caption of the video in lightning speed. Wistia also creates a lot of high quality content to help video marketers.

Their videos are not indexed as well as youtube, the entire world is watching youtube and so people just search on youtube for content. Your own webpage is not going to be indexed as well as Youtube.

Youtube videos are limited in a way to allow customization but wistia allows us to work around it and it's great for webinars and long form video content. It's also got better tracking and analytics

Easy to access and save videos- easy to share as well

Can become a lot when you have too many people admin

A shared one stop shop for all video content that we can link and download

easy to upload and to share the videos within the team

searching is not always intuitive in wistia

creating educational videos

I especially like that I can easily upload and share videos, and customize the player. I also really like Wistia's analytics capabilities.

I can't think of anything I dislike about Wistia at this time.

Wistia is our solution for hosting and sharing videos. It also provides us with detailed analytics that we can't get from YouTube. We've been using it for years.

Wisita is simple to use, highly customizable and lightning fast. The analytics capabilities within the tool are really well built as well. I have used a couple cometitors in the past that weren't nearly as steamlined and easy to use as Wistia.

There isn't anything I dislike about Wistia. I have been using it for over 6 years across a couple different companies. I see no reason to use a different video hosting tool.

We host all of our website and email videos within video. We needed a tool that was easy to use, customizable and fast.

I love how easy is it to upload a video to Wistia and then share it anywhere I need to. I can then gather data on who has watched my videos and for how long. They even have a great service for captioning my videos so that our Deaf and Hard of Hearing members can also watch our videos.

I haven't run into anything negative with Wistia! It meets all the needs we had for a video hosting service.

Wistia gives us a place to host our videos that isn't necessarily public. It also makes it easier to track if our sales prospects are actually watching the info videos we send out.
