"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.

"Wistia - Perfect for corporate video housing, sharing, & viewership tracking needs"
What do you like best about Wistia?

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!

What do you dislike about Wistia?

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.

"Long Lasting Quality and Innovation"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I have been using Wistia since it was born. I even have a Video Pioneer T-shirt from over 10 years ago. Ease of use Analytic heatmaps Call to actions Turnstile Player Wistia Team Innovations Help when needed Wistia has a great team and is always available to troubleshoot an issue until it's solved. This platform protects our paid content and offers flexible options when publishing blog posts and collecting email leads.

I have not experienced a downside or dislike! No

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

Wistia in the beginning helped with bandwidth and helped solve player code options. Now we pretty much run on autopilot!

"The Best Video Hosting platform By Far!"
What do you like best about Wistia?

Wistia is exceptionally simple to use. It has helped us organize our video content, which was a huge mess before we used Wistia. The analytics on Wistia is second to none. It even tracks the company names of people who view videos and other exceptional data. Embedding it on your website is simple and enriches the page with highly beneficial SEO.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

Wistia Channels have limited customization. So making a Wistia channel page look exactly like our website is difficult but the Netflix-style gallery still looks great. The transcript service is also not super accurate and we have to manually edit all transcripts.

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

Wistia is helping us see focused metrics for the different videos we have across our website and landing page, as well as for webinars. It is helping us start a podcast for the first time ever and overall it is helping us build out our video marketing in a way we have never done before. An exceptional platform. I highly recommend it. Their support is also incredible!

What do you dislike about Wistia?

We originally joined for video hosting security. And while they do an amazing job protecting our video assets, nothing is 100% online.

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

Wistia solves the problem of utilizing the best video marketing strategy and technology to reach and engage our audience in profitable and measurable ways.

"Wistia supporter"
What do you like best about Wistia?

My favorite part is the ability to keep viewers in your product/brand environment. There are not any 'suggestions' of other videos which will take your visitors in another direction and off the branding message environment that you have worked to get them to.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

I have yet to really discover any downsides other than it does not seem to be as easier incorporated/ accepted in other programs (Constant Contact, etc) as the competitors.

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

Wistia helps me to have a consistent, branded video presence/channel which does not encourage visitors to wander off and view other things.

"Wistia is Amazing"
What do you like best about Wistia?

Wistia allowed us to remove videos from YouTube giving us more control over what our patients see once the video ends. This prevented our viewers from being routed from a video about Dr. Smith and the services she provides directly to a video that promoted something contrary to our brand identity.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

There is a charge for bandwidth usage which can be confusing and costly if not managed appropriately. Wistia has a great user interface overall, but tracking of video bandwidth is not something that is monitorable directly via the user interface is not currently present. However, Wistia does provide great customer service if you have an issue and their team will help suggest ways to mitigate the issue.

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

Wistia allowed us to remove videos from YouTube giving us more control over what our patients see once the video ends. This prevented our viewers from being routed from a video about Dr. Smith and the services she provides directly to a video that promoted something contrary to our brand identity. We use Wistia for videos on our intranet and internet. Captioning, inserting chapters, and making the video accessible were not features we had access to previously. Wistia makes our content look better and makes it more user-friendly.

"Wistia is a game changer, great features easy and fast."
What do you like best about Wistia?

I pretty straightforward, even though you can find tutorials to use all the features and improve the videos and make your channels like a pro, everything is so clearly there, that you just need to upload and the rest is so intuitive.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

I don't say that dislike is the correct word, but adding animations and emojis and stuff like that could be a great feature that is not available right now

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

Realy is helping us reach more customers because most of our products need training or demonstrations about functions or it works, so this is the perfect way to have visuals organized and handy for them, by-product by vendor, any time, they don't have to worry to save it is right the in our channel, and also for our HR we use it for training, we just solve many problems with one single subscription business.
