Wistia Reviews

The detailed analytics Wistia can provide for our videos is insightful, from regular views to advanced stats on rewatches, where people watched from and what part of the video they dropped off. Combined with integrations like Marketo we can capture leads and engage them along the way.

Watch that there is an added fee once you surpass the bandwidth limit, the cost of success!

I really like the ease of use with this program, it is very easy to get started. I like that it is free to use with limitations, but not too many. so that you can still utilize the important functionality.

I don't like that you can only create three videos with the free version, other than that it is hard to think of much else that I dislike about it.

The ease of use is commendable and you don't need to have any creative skills to get started with creating amazing videos using Wistia.

Customization options are very limited and if you are looking to incorporate your unique ideas, you might find yourself stuck and confused.

Wistia lets you manage hundreds of videos with customizable features like video border color, gating content at the end of the video, and much more!

Some of the features like the gated content are only available on more expensive packages whereas they were complimentary when we first became customers.

Easy to setup and use. They make it really not technical, and give you the power to create amazing marketing videos.

Nothing much to dislike. Have been recent price increases. Wish there was more in-depth video editing.

We use Wistia to host any recorded meetings, webinars, or trainings, and then we take those videos and post them to our Hubspot landing pages. It is super easy to take our Wistia-hosted videos where ever we need them!

I wish I could control the default image that shows when a video is paused or not yet playing. I also wish it would track who watched your video somehow.

Was great for getting notes from clients and internal notes on videos for a production company I worked for that specialized in educational videos. It was pretty easy to use and login and didn't have any issues with video playback.

The notes on the timeline could be easier to consolidate into a word doc later.

Well designed interface, although since they updated the site seems a little less intuitive. You can upload a s much as you want without many restrictions. Its great for clients and colleagues to comment and review videos with time codes built into the comments section.

Sometimes can become a little pricy if you have a very large quantity of videos. Occasionally I have had a video not upload correctly and need re-uploading. Mobile app needs to be more intuitive. Lacks a few features that the website has.

For the creation of my corporate videos, I use Wistia and I've never been disappointed with them.

In fact, the software works very well without any difficulty or problem

It integrates with Salesforce. It's a great way to know which leads are more likely to closing. We're able to see if they have watched our marketing videos. We are able to see which ones they have watched, how long they watched it for. I absolutely love this tool. I have no idea what we would without this tool.

They are true video marketers, and the software they have created has awesome tech. The API's and SDK's work very well and are easy to use.

Pricing changes were unexpected, but understandable for a startup. Very occasionally videos uploaded do not transcode correctly which cause customer issues.

This software allows me to store and visualize the content of audiovisual projects for my audience. There is no capacity limit per project and this represents a great advantage for the company.

Its costs of use were raised after having years of use, now it is much more expensive to create a project in Wistia.

Their software ties nicely with other platforms, allowing you to use the data you're capturing from video analytics.

They came out with a new tool called Soapbox. I feel it should just be a part of their overall package offered.

- Easy to use
- Separate task email address easily attachable to non-Wistia user
- Easy to tag users
- Plenty of customization
- Easy learning curve

- Setup took a long to time to work exactly as needed
- If a non-Wistia user got an email with the task, the follow-up emails almost amounted to spam due to regularity

It's easy to use and looks good. I like that you can add in chapters to guide users through the video. I also find the customizability of every aspect of the experience really useful.

Probably the best thing about Wistia is how fast it is. I've never had any of the videos on my website take more than a few seconds to load. The customization features are great and make the videos blend in nicely.

While there are a lot of customization options, they can be a bit difficult to find. Pricing can be a bit expensive.

Clean design makes the videos look nice on any webpage. The ability to customize the look of the player is a huge plus too. Ultimately, the ability to gather leads via the Turnstile is what makes Wistia so great for us. We can feed leads directly into our CRM and follow-up with them as they are finishing up watching a video.

The biggest issue at this time is that it is not possible to collect the original lead source of a contact and pass it into your CRM. If you are running ads to drive traffic to your video you won't be able to tie leads back to your ads unless you create a specific landing page for every ad and add a different instance of the same video on each page.

Super simple. Great stats. Easy to embed. Overall 10/10

n/a - It does everything I need it to do.

The software is easy to use with a nice user interface. It embeds easily and has a lot of functions for for customizing permissions, video preview frames, and other aspects of the uploaded asset. This program does the job it is meant for with ease of use.

The software does have some issues uploading long files. I have run into a few issues where I have uploaded longer videos and ended up having to attempt the upload a few times. Those instances are fairly rare though.
