Reviews of Vimeo
Alternatives Considered:
From Youtube to Vimeo Pro!
Comments: I used to get paid by YouTube back in 2015 but I had signed up for Vimeo Pro for free. I do personally like the platform on Vimeo better than YouTube and Vimeo feels more hip and young. It is for those who are into high resolution graphics and videomaking. It is not like YouTube where the videos are created from smartphone tools. It is for professional videomakers, animators, and motion graphics artists. It is the main reason why I joined Vimeo Pro, but now, it is turning into a career.
Pros:
My company is focused on creating graphic designs and motion graphics to promote my artistic products, and Vimeo Pro is the perfect way to make my products promoted online. During the pandemic, I was furloughed from my employer so I decided to use my time to promote my online business. I had it established in 2015 but I was working for my employer for the last four years and did not have time to make proper sales. Instead of just sales, Vimeo Pro has helped me create an online community for those interested in my brand. It has been a lot of fun and the features on Vimeo Pro always excite me.
Cons:
My least favorite feature is the high costs involved in maintaining my online presence on Vimeo Pro. MY favorite feature is the videomaking tool which I do have to pay a monthly subscription for, but there are so many costs involved. It was like starting my own channel by paying Vimeo to keep maintaining my videos. It has been an expensive journey for me as a member of Vimeo Pro.
Vimeo The Perfect Video Hosting Solution
Comments: Overall for our company there would be no other option than using Vimeo for hosting our videos. In our experience Vimeo also has a very good customer care team as when we raised a small billing issue, this was resolved quickly and appropriately with no hassle, which is what you want when you are busy working projects and content.
Pros:
Vimeo is quite simply fantastic, it is a rock solid platform that has NEVER let us down. We embed project videos on our website and they look great, we switched to using Vimeo as it was a brand we trusted, best decision we have ever made in terms of our video content. We love the way we can control the settings for each video and also the player controls depending on what we need. It's a 10 out of 10 from us!
Cons:
Obviously as premium product there is an annual cost to using Vimeo, but we feel that the benefit we get far outweighs this. In fact Vimeo probably pays for itself as our designs and services are showcased in our videos and new leads generated. There's not much else to say, we wouldn't use anything else.
Enterprise-worthy video marketing, analytics and privacy tool.
Comments: High quality video experience. Basically recording screen, sharing thoughts and getting things done faster with async video.
Pros:
Vimeo makes it easier to manage and organize video content effectively, saving time and effort. We can showcase our services easily to generate more leads and increase customer engagement. We have experienced an improvement in SEO through optimization of video content in video hosting. It is user-friendly and cost-effective too making it an ideal solution for us.
Cons:
The platform may not be very suitable for users that exclusively rely on video content for revenue generation as it may be hard to monetize them on this platform.
Alternatives Considered:
Vimeo support is abysmal
Comments: Sad about what it's become.
Pros:
I used to like Vimeo's features, protection of videos, and customization. The support also used to be excellent.
Cons:
The support is just awful -- they don't actually respond to the information or questions entered. And their documentation doesn't match what support parrots back -- even when I supplied links to their documentation.
Easy to distribute my videos to my clients and managing team folders
Comments: Quality videos and marketing strategies creating a more connected and productive team in the long run.
Pros:
I can easily engage several teams on the platform and I have the freedom to switch between them. No worries of background disturbances, videos can be mute to avoid them. Also, it brings stability in performance and our overall goal. Creates beautiful presentations which came be customized to make them more appealing. In the case where files in question are too large or contain parts which are not relevant, trimming is possible. This improves efficiency in the final results. It is generally a very easy to use tool.
Cons:
Well, no cons experienced so far. Work is always done to expectations.
