Pros y Contras de Panopto

Panopto can be used by anyone: it has features for novice users who want a quick video to seasoned creators who need multiple sources. I can teach any faculty or staff member to use it in minutes. We even use it to have a visual record of role-specific tasks to capture tribal knowledge. I use it either with faculty, staff, or students weekly if not daily.

Editing in Panopto is not as robust as I wish it was. I wish it could be my one-stop-shop and allow for additions of annotations, transitions, audio/video separation, and stream locking for editing multiple streams. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Panopto is constantly innovating and improving its services. I met the founders of Panopto on the exhibit floor at the Pittsburg at the 2004 ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference, and they gave me two licenses for their Lecture Capture (one license for Clark University and a second for The Interdenominational Theological Center). Twenty years later, I participated in a Panopto demo of their video management system and within a month, I was replacing my existing Medial video management system with Panopto. Panopto offered twice as many innovative engagement tools within the video player and management system as my existing service at a much lower cost. I was so pleased to see how far Panopto had come in 20 years and excited to be working with them again at Columbia Theological Seminary. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

When compared to other video management and video capture services, there has been nothing I have disliked about Panopto. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I was part of the cross-departmental team that selected Panopto as the best platform for our course recordings years ago and have continued as an admin and support staff member for years, finding their updates continue to make the tools more effective for our faculty and students and more efficient to manage over time.

It integrates beautifully with Canvas, and before that with Blackboard and our meeting recordings from Zoom have always been implemented well. Users who record directly with the Panopto recorder have noted it offers more functions and better results. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Our initial subscription was under a different pricing structure and while I understand the changes over the last few years that have ballooned the use of recording and required new management approaches, it would have been helpful to have more of the great dashboards that they've always implemented for viewing stats on a user basis available for data on the admin side. They've made improvements to managing the total storage as we scripted policies, but I had to figure out how to manipulate the raw data to get the reports I needed at thie time to clean up our original data.

Ease of creating recordings from the web browser without the need to download the Panopto software. Very good integration with Canvas. For the most part Panopto support is very responsive. I have had a few issues where they were quick to close my ticket without a resolution or further discussion so I could understand a work around. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Right now our Browse >All Folders is loading extremely slow. I have put in a ticket but it is not resolved yet. This causes a lot of frustration and wasted time when I am trying to troubleshoot instructor issues or move recordings around.

I wish Panopto had an "act as user" feature so I could better troubleshoot without having to get in a live Microsoft Teams meeting with an instructor and have them share their screen with me to troubleshoot. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I like how easy to use Panopto is. We integrate with Canvas and most users don't even realize it's a different product. Support is also very good. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Sometimes it can be difficult to unwind exactly how to share videos. This often is the result of users not understanding the process and sending links instead of embedding videos. It's a user error, but something that we can to untangle periodically. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The upsides for Panopto is the non destructive editing. Almost seemless ability to capture from multiple sources. Bringing interactivity to what could be just a run of he mill talking head. Inclusion of AI. Customer support is pretty good, they have gotten back to me when I needed help. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I think here could be a few improvements to remote recorder. I think the platform should be device agnotic sometimes. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Panopto is such an easy, user-friendly tool that integrates smoothly into our LMS (both, since we recently transitions from Moodle to Canvas). I especially like how we can have it feed directly into the courses, the automatic transcription feature, and the fact that the video is searchable. On the back end, as an instructor, being able to see the statistics of who watched, when, and for how long is extremely valuable. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

It's not quite as easy to use for live streaming classes or webinars. I definitely believe that it is a superior video tool, but for live streaming, it pairs perfectly with Zoom, which is not a great lecture capture tool. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Panopto is user freindly, easy to administer, and offers reliable service. Beyond initial setup, it just works with little to no additional effort - you can forcus on adding to your user base instead of stamping out weird integration issues. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The cost/benefit is at times an issue - recruiting a large enough user base to justify a relatively expesive product is difficulat and requires work. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Panopto is intuitive to use. The editing tools are simple, and the analytics are concise and accessible. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

It can take a while to access a video to edit it - and sometimes the editing/rendering process takes a while (a countdown or clock would be helpful to understand edit times). Editing could be more robust (would like to split audio/video, incorporate text overlay or fade in/out). Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Panopto spearheads the platform type. I like the integration capabilities with other services such as SSO & Zoom and its ability to work independently. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

It could use a better User Interface (UI) enhacement. Sometimes, UI takes the back seat as features take precedence. This is OK, but its due for some UI updates. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
