Vimeo vs Uscreen: Which is a better fit?

Jonathan T.: I'm Jonathan. I'm a founder at an E-learning company. This is my review for Vimeo. I give it four stars. Prior to Vimeo, I was using, I think, probably mostly YouTube to host my videos. Well, it's free. It's fast. It works pretty well. There are all, of course, ads and related videos, which aren't the case on Vimeo. I chose to switch my video over to Vimeo. It has a cleaner interface for the end user, has incredible controls for limiting downloads, and, in our particular use case, there is a really great way to have a page element display when the player got to a certain percentage. That was important for us on a sales page. So, for those reasons, we moved to Vimeo. It was pretty dang easy to move over to Vimeo. It's a very straight-up interface. You add your video over, give it a name, set some parameters, colors of a player, where it can be embedded, things like that. So, it was overall a very easy process. If you're looking at considering Vimeo, man, these days, there are so many options on the market, I'd look at a few different options for you. Try to forecast the use that you're going to have there, whether total number of videos, total hours or bandwidth, or views, whatever it might be, however the pricing is set up, and try to gauge your future use and cost and then see which features are going to give you what you need, especially those high-priority features that you're going to need as part of your stack.

Speaker 1: My name is Jeremy. I am the owner and founder of Basecamp Learning Media. We're a small company that is designed to help live streamers and YouTubers use tools like Ecamm to bring their content to the web, and I would rate Uscreen a four star. Before Uscreen, we looked at a number of other platforms for delivering our content. We looked at Kajabi, we even looked at Squarespace, and we decided that for our needs that they were not going to work out. When we selected Uscreen, and why we selected going with Uscreen, was largely due to the fact that it had all the tools that we needed. But probably more than anything else, the sense of community that Uscreen has built has been instrumental in helping us get up-to-speed very, very quickly and in order of magnitude faster than I ever thought possible. When we decided to go with Uscreen, we immediately just launched into uploading content to the platform. It was super easy to do. It gave us all the tools that we needed and it helped guide us in a way that would deliver the content most effectively to our customers. For anybody that's looking to get into Uscreen as a platform, my only advice would be to just know your market. Know what your customers are expecting, and make sure that a product like Uscreen can satisfy those needs. For us, it did. And not only did it satisfy the needs that we had at the time, it's continued to grow with us as we've grown.
