What do you like best about Vimeo?

We've been using Vimeo Pro for our company for a few years and have nothing to complain about. I work for a non-profit and Vimeo is a great place to host video content for our website as well as sharing videos with others to use on their sites or to download.

It is super easy to grab an embed code and change up the features of how it looks when it is embeded. You can even remove the Vimeo branding and add your own logo! It makes it look super clean and never clunky! It also makes it look like our own content and not just some video we found on Vimeo which is a big plus!

The other cool thing is customizable links, especially being a non-profit with multiple sub departments. This makes it easy to share a link over the phone or have one that is easy to remember when sending to others and the privacy settings are fantastic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

The only thing maybe the upload limit each week. This can be a problem if we have a lot of stuff going one week, but generally it is ok. Ultimately, you can upgrade to a higher level for less limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vimeo:

You should definitely give it a try. LOTS of good features! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use it to host video content for our website as well as video sharing with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vimeo?

Scalability - from hosting videos on private links all the way up to running full live streams without needing anything other than a browser! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

Awful, awful pricing structure. Need a little extra space, sign up for a new subscription with lots of other stuff you'd never use. Happy with subscription but want more caption hours, tough luck - there's no way to add that without you signing up for a completely different package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a streaming and on-demand hosting company, we need a failsafe video host. We looked into our own server but the cost was high and we'd need to code a lot of it ourselves. Vimeo fills that gap really well.

Primariliy we host private videos that are locked to our domains (easy to set up, thank you Vimeo!) that we then link across to our platform. Really easy to do in vimeo, no watermarks (unless we want them) and without people being able to access the back-end host to download them (that I've found - and believe me I have tried!)

We also use their live streams, all as sending a RTMP stream to Vimeo to transcode and host. Never had an issue with Vimeo ever. Player is easy to brand, captions can be enabled (but don't ask if you can buy more caption hours!) and the whole lot can be recorded onto your Vimeo too (or not, it's an option) so you have a back up in the cloud almost immediately.

Uploading to Vimeo is a bit of a faff if you use their uploader (one file at a time, have to keep the web page open and if you get updates, you start all over again) BUT Vimeo will let you integrate with OneDrive/Google Drive etc. so you can leave files uploading to your hosting service before running the Vimeo web apps to transfer the files within SECONDS! - you also get a handy 2nd back up on your cloud host too. Nice one Vimeo :)

Their on-line tools are basic, but do what you need. If you're chopping the start and end off a recorded stream/uploaded video that's really easy to do. There are other options, but if we're heading down that line we're going to do it properly via Premiere!

It's a shame that some options don't follow through to all levels of subscription - when we had a basic low GB subscription we could share folders with our clients that they could download. Now we're on a Pro account, that's impossible (!?). But as mentioned earlier, as we have a back up of everything on the Googs Drive, that's how we share nowadays.

All in all, Vimeo is the best video host/CMS that I've found for small businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vimeo?

1. Hide from Vimeo; secure embedding options.

2. Video trimmer and text based trimmer

3. Folder options to keep videos organised and segregated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

1. Videos are not loading quickly on the viewer’s side (tested on MacBook Air M3, 16GB, with a 100Mbps broadband connection). Especially when a viewer tries to fast-forward the video or watch at 2X speed, the video does not load quickly.

2. Payment Gateways: While making a payment, it is not asking for OTP authentication. In India, most banks/cards do not work without OTP. Additionally, there are transaction limits for international payments due to security reasons. PayPal also does not allow wallet recharges; it redirects us to cards/banks instead. We were unable to complete a payment of around $920 (tried with 5-6 different cards).

3. Why are there different plans for old customers (which are slightly more expensive) and different plans for new accounts (which are slightly less expensive)? We had to migrate to a new account to access the new plans.

4. Recently, customer support has been slow and does not respond for several days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can securely embed videos on our website, ensuring they can be played only on our platform. This helps educators like me protect our content and sell courses through our websites and LMS. Additionally, we can embed livestreams securely.

Features like video trimmers and text-based trimmers are also beneficial. Video transcripts have been particularly useful for creating lecture notes.

Organising and segregating videos into folders has been extremely helpful for me. It allows me to categorize videos by subjects and topics and easily edit or replace them whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vimeo?

The most recent update fixed a lot of the issues I previously had with Vimeo. The sign in process is smooth, the interface is visually appealing, the settings, options, and features provide a wide range of uses whether it is a simple video review platform, or a home for an embedded video on a website or mass email. The simplicity of it on the surface encourages new users to try the platform, and the robust settings and features keep people around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

I upload to vimeo almost daily for work and one thing that is frustrating is the time that it takes to optimize the video before the link works to view the video. I understand that compressing and storing the video on Vimeo properly is important, so I don't mind that it takes extra time to optimize the video, I just look forward to the day when that can happen a little faster than it currently does.

What do you like best about Vimeo?

vimeo is probably the best video hosting software I have used so far. We tried to shift for other video hosting platforms to save cost but couldn't find any of them as worth as vimeo. Its truly great. Its easy to use, very easy to navigate, UI is simple and great. the pricing plans are also not that expensive. You can upload the videos easily and control everything. We use it almost daily for our office use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

The free plan is too restricted. Didn't like that part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest problem vimeo is solving for us is video hosting and using it easily on any other platform. We have a course platform where we can use our vimeo videos easily by using its link, on our landing pages, we have used vimeo's video link instead of uploading it on the platform, which increased the website speed. It has a lot of positive features we love. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Vimeo offers an exceptional platform with numerous features that enhance video presentation and engagement, I find myself increasingly concerned about its pricing structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Vimeo provides a fantastic service with its high-quality video hosting, versatile features, and supportive community. However, the rising costs associated with their subscription plans may deter potential users, particularly those operating on tight budgets. While I appreciate the quality and functionality that Vimeo offers, I urge the company to reconsider its pricing strategy to remain accessible to a broader audience.

What do you like best about Vimeo?

Vimeo is very easy to use, uploading audiovisual content is fast, the interface is user-friendly and the customer service is exceptional.

No complaints, it meets my expectations and provides easy usability without technical obstacles. Vimeo responds well in terms of loading, playback and content organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all, its protection against unauthorized access is excellent for maintaining the confidentiality of my materials and another great point is the HD quality of the content, which allows my shared visual materials to look sharp and well presented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vimeo?

The most important helpful from Vimeo stock is gives me a super benifits what I have invested my time and values Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vimeo?

Nothing more dislike about Vimeo stock it's great to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Vimeo Stock primarily addresses the challenges faced by filmmakers, videographers, and content creators in sourcing high-quality stock footage. By providing a platform where users can access a wide range of professionally shot videos, Vimeo Stock simplifies the process of finding relevant and visually appealing content for projects.

As for how this benefits me, well, it's a win-win situation. Vimeo Stock's existence means that creators have easier access to diverse footage, which can improve the quality and variety of the content they produce. This, in turn, enhances the overall content landscape on platforms like Vimeo, potentially attracting more viewers and users. Plus, it aligns with Vimeo's mission of empowering creators by providing them with the tools and resources they need to bring their visions to life. So, when creators thrive, Vimeo thrives, and as a platform designed to support creativity and expression, that's definitely a positive outcome for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
