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.
