It is a great tool to store and organize video content for our businesses. From sales materials to learning resources its
our go-to service for video hosting.
The older version took a substantial amount of time to encode videos. The latest version works much better.
It solves video hosting of internal videos and the streaming of training videos for our business.
I love the video editing tool within Wistia, this is super helpful because our product is constantly improving so our videos need updating frequently. The native editing rool make these edits much easier to complete.
I wish the folders and channels settings and analytics pages were similar, for example why can I see who uploaded a file in a folder, but not in a channel?
Wistia gives our team a central repository for our videos. It's easy to share out links to be embedded anywhere and still track the analytics right from Wistia.
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.
Wistia is reliable, and rock solid. We use Wistia when playback REALLY matters - when a split second of buffering or load time could make all the difference, Wistia delivers.
Mobile app should be redone from scratch to pair better with the web app.
Organization of video assets and lightning-fast playback for embeds.
I like how easy Wistia is to use, espeically for sharing content and replays from our events. You can share videos across multiple mediums, including our Community platform and Hubspot emails. It's very user-friendly and doesn't require any training for usage, which is a plus! The Support team is friendly and quick to respond to queries.
I haven't encountered anything about Wistia that I dislike! Wistia meets all my needs perfectly in an easy and straightforward manner - no added unnecessary complexity.
Wistia helps me to easily share content between platforms and store all our content in one convenient place. It is an excellent archive of videos, and it's straightforward for me to source older content to share with a new audience.
Wistia has really helped our team streamline where we host our videos, share them with the broader team, and invite customers to view and engage with our content.
No downsides that I've noticed so far! We're really enjoying using Wistia so far and how much it has helped our team be more successful!
I love the new feature of editing while in Wistia, as opposed to working in an outside program and then uploading it into the in-app experience. Now we can do everything all at once inside a singular platform making it more centralized. Plus, we can create channels for our various marketing activities and can have an easier time seeing who's engaged with what video content per channel.
It does what it advertised. Log in, upload, get your embed code, and start hosting your video where you like.
The loading speed and its ability to customize are also great.
It's not the cheapest out there, but I would still consider it affordable for the control it can give you (as opposed to using YouTube, which provides little).
I wouldn't call it dislike, but I don't use their extra features like editing, trimming, etc.
Dedicated software like Davinci or Premier is still my preferred option for editing.
We use Wistia to host our video sales letter. Being able to customize the watching experience is what we like about Wistia.
Wistia is a great video platform for businesses. I have been using it for years now and the video display customization, the integrations into CMS tools and the quick customer service makes it a no-brainer for companies that want to use video for marketing, landing page designs and more. What makes Wistia such a great tool is its ease of integration in landing pages and the ability to swap in updated versions of videos while maintaining the same URL. The channel feature also makes it easy to pull in categories of videos as a way to display them in an attractive and easy to view way. We also embed those channel page designs into our website which makes it so much easier to swap in videos, organize them and create an overall beautiful presentation.
There's very little to dislike about the tool, I haven't run into any challenges for things I want to do so far so I am grateful for that. I wish there was a way to link comments to accounts in HubSpot or so, that way I could easily click on the account and view it from Wistia.
I've looked at other video platform tools over the years and they just don't have the ease of use that Wistia allows. Stick with Wistia and save yourself the time and energy.
Wistia has allowed us to display our webinar recordings, use videos as replacements for animated gifs on our site, track viewer behaviors like watch time and location, add in call to actions to landing pages and more.
feature set is unique, the platform is easy to use and robust. the team behind it cares very much about video and hosting and it is at the core of their dna.
in the many years i've been a wistia client i'd have to say i've had very little to be annoyed or frustrated about. i know right? rare!
if you are looking to do business grade, enterprise grade video hosting with a performance solution at it's core. you must have wistia in that deployment list!
some of the custom ability to link to courses, embedding captions, animated front gifs as a holding image. playlists are fantastic as well.
