Pros Vimeo Pro is the clean and professional video hosting I need to share information about the task at hand and my own business. I love that there are no ads or other distracting videos. Cons I don't like how after my video plays it says "see other videos from this user". Then it shows all the videos I have from different clients. It's hard to figure out how to turn that off.

September 3, 2023 5.0 I like this site because I know that I can search for any reference or brand and find videos of different campaigns, all with great quality. Pros It is the only place where I can find good quality videos, there are millions of videos created by professionals of different products. Cons As a user, it is true that the rates in relation to capacity can be a bit low at the storage level Review Source HM Han M. Senior Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Vimeo Review" November 14, 2023 5.0 Pros Vimeo is easy to use - the service allows you to create video projects, using animations and transitions. You are able to edit projects, as well. Cons I have had a positive experience with Vimeo. Review Source Julian O. Co-Founder Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for hosting videos, Editing depends" December 2, 2021 4.0 Overall, it is a great tool to use and easy. Also with collaboration all the options needed are available. Pros Vimeo is a great tool to use and is easy to set up. I mostly use it for hosting videos and analytics. Great that you can create your own branding style in it and the video stays the video. On YouTube there will always be the logo to go to the YouTube website, Vimeo does not have this and therefore people stay on your website. Cons You cannot just edit your own material. You need to use a theme of them. As far as I have discovered at least. Alternatives considered [YouTube](https://www.capterra.com/p/237905/YouTube/) Reason for choosing Vimeo Customizable, and no link to an external website Review Source AF Arthur F. Technical lead Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Vimeo pro" May 21, 2020 4.0 The presentations looked very good for the user and after a little back and forth the main function I was hoping for was worked out by the technical team at VIMEO. The platform is usually very stable though yesterday there were some technical hiccups with their server. The customer service got better after a couple weeks. I assume they had to ramp up with Covid. All in all it did the job. Next time I will use Adobe Spark as the navigation platform and ask less of Vimeo in that regard. Pros Uploads are fast and easy. Private links stay forever. Visual quality is good for the user. A lot of space for 800 bucks a year. The livestream studio was my initial reason for getting it and it seemed to work pretty well but I ended up forgoing it's use due to technical issues. Mostly on our end. Being able to directly upload H264 with very little degradation was an important issue for us as a film school. Cons Navigation for anything but straight up watching videos is difficult to understand. The extra functions in pro are less than stellar but I was able to make it work for our presentations. Most of the the embedded functions are not usable on the VIMEO user side and can only be applied to the admin side of the platform. I still don't understand some of it but I assume that the embedded functions are for sending your videos into other platforms. websites, etc. I just wanted to present on VIMEO so none of it worked for me. Reason for choosing Vimeo More user control. Livestream studio. storage. video quality. Review Source AM Ashley M. Operations Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly video uploads" February 13, 2023 4.0 Vimeo does what it needs to. It is a great platform for our organization to upload webinar recordings and other videos related to the work that we do. It is especially great, because not everyone is available at the time of our webinars, with this people can watch at their leisure. The platform is user friendly. Pros It is easy to upload videos. The name of the file is carried over, and it is easy to write the descriptions, change the video thumbnail, and track the number of views. Cons I wish you could see all of your videos at once when opening the 'manage videos', instead of 'load more', 'load more.' Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Content & Brand Marketing Manager Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good video management tool" February 14, 2023 4.0 Pros It's nice to have functionality that goes beyond what we started using in the beginning. As the company grows we are able to grow our video efforts using the same tool. Cons Customer service is very limited - so if you can manage the tool implementation and structure without support, you will easily be successful.

Frrelance Animator Animation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Vimeo Pro by Midrell Fitzgerald" July 19, 2019 5.0 Vimeo Pro is a great way to upgrade your Vimeo experience with the extra data and advance privacy you can better connect with your market. Pros Vimeo Pro is a professional social media website, perfect to display your current artwork from films, to demo reels and progress updates. Its a great tool because of its professional archive of short films and artist. I would recommend this site to any artist looking for reference. Cons I find that the program works fine, It's reliable I have used it to work with professional and small clients. Review Source BB Ben B. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Vimeo Pro is a capable platform for sharing high-quality videos from your portfolio" October 13, 2017 4.0 Vimeo is a great, low-compression digital venue to showcase artistic work that matters. Pros Vimeo Pro is, in my experience, the lowest compression video streaming service for professional use (other than just sending files directly to clients). Vimeo is a great place to hold reels, demos, and featurettes to showcase your work, as it definitely carries a quality edge over the competition. Videos look less compressed, and resolution/codec support is quite robust. Vimeo Pro is also a really neat way to meet other artists and view their work. Because Vimeo is tailored to creative uses, sifting through content is much easier than on YouTube, where there are buckets of non-artistic videos being published every second. Cons Vimeo is expensive for the service provided. Yes, Vimeo provides low compression video streaming, which matters when trying to make your best impression with clients or partners, but the price seems high when the chief competitors are free. Also, Vimeo's mobile website and apps are consistently buggy. Performance is slow, the site often crashes (tested on various mobile devices), and sometimes videos scale incorrectly when in fullscreen. Lastly, Vimeo has not innovated as much as competitors. Though the site is generally more attractive, and the UI is easy to use, things have not changed much in the time since I began using it. This might mean the developers are not seeking for long-term growth.

December 10, 2019 5.0 Vimeo is rock-solid video hosting that our small media production team relies on for video delivery. The best praise I can give is that it always just works. We've never had a single issue, and I couldn't imagine ever switching our hosting to anywhere else. Pros I love Vimeo's clean modern look, it's simple yet powerful interface, and streaming quality. The privacy features and embedding controls are top-notch and make it easy to upload videos for a variety of uses for our clients. Cons The 5gb limit per week on the plus plan seems a little arbitrary and restrictive. Most of the time, that's plenty for our uses, but every once in a while it's an issue. A monthly cap would be much more friendly, especially for users who upload more sporadically. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Digital Communications Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great video platform needs one key update" February 23, 2021 5.0 Love this, love the functionality, and love the quality of the end product on multiple devices. Pros It's easy to use, the quality is great, it works well with our website, and it has a customizable player and embed options. Cons You cannot schedule video premieres and you can't caption within the platform. That is a huge disadvantage compared to YouTube. Review Source Robert K. Video Production Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vimeo Pro is a must for any filmmaker!" July 26, 2019 4.0 Overall I love Vimeo Pro use for my website portfolio as well as client reviews. Pros What I like most about Vimeo is that my clients have the ability to download the videos from my account via link when it is approved. Cons What I like least is that my storage per week changes if i upload the same video again with a minor change via same link. Review Source RH Rachel H. Self-Employed Ranching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Vimeo- worth buying a plan. " December 8, 2022 4.0 Easy to use, doesn't take any time to figure out, and a great step by step intro on how to use the site! Pros I liked how easy it was to use the site. From the moment I created my account to uploading my first video, there was always a step by step help box telling me how to use the site. I also reached out to the support team and they were super helpful and quick with answering my questions. Uploading my video was fast and easy, much faster than YouTube. And the quality of my video was not effected when I uploaded it to the site, either. Cons The thing I liked least about this software was the free version and the tools you don't get with the free version. As with everything these days, you're going to have to pay for a subscription to get anything out of the site. With the free version you can only upload two videos and you can't use any of the special features (i.e. removing icons when embedding a video to another site, etc.) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CLUB1040 Missionary Lebanon Launch Team Leader Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vimeo Works Great" December 19, 2018 5.0 Overall, we are very happy with our Pro Vimeo membership. The features and ability to brand the channel and videos is very helpful Pros I like that Vimeo seamlessly provides a way for us to not only host our videos but manage them as well. Cons The search feature is not very easy to use so it is sometimes seems impossible to locate a video by search. Review Source Peter I. Developer of Instructional Technology Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Alternative to Youtube" October 16, 2019 4.0 We like it and we'll continue to use it as our main avenue for livestreaming school events. Pros I like that when you upload videos to this site you retain copyright ownership as opposed to Youtube who owns everything you upload. Cons The user interface is not the easiest to deal with and some of the settings for video encoding are limited. Review Source RM Robin M. Filmmaker Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for video production businesses" April 3, 2020 4.0 I have enjoyed using Vimeo over the years. I find it a great way to work with clients to show rough cuts of videos and get feedback before delivering final versions. The password feature is a huge benefit for this kind of work. Pros Vimeo Pro is a great way to share videos with clients. I have used Vimeo for several years now. One of the great features is being able to apply a password to videos. YouTube does not have this option. This is important for clients who want to keep content private until the video(s) are ready to publish to the public for consumption. Cons One of the drawbacks for Vimeo is playback. Sometimes it is not as smooth as YouTube. Often times Vimeo will experience buffering issues, which can be frustrating for viewers. Review Source MM Marie M. Founder E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic for Start-up Course Creators and Digital Educators" October 29, 2019 5.0 I’ve loved the privacy options - some videos are shared publicly, some with a private link, some only can be embedded by me in areas I want (like courses). Pros Vimeo’s settings interface is easy to use - especially when you can create your own setting templates for various projects. I got Vimeo Pro to host course videos back in 2015 and still use them. Most platforms still require a 3rd party video host and Vimeo has been flawless to privately host course videos. Cons I wish the price was a bit lower, especially now that more course platforms host video. Still, I use Vimeo regularly and have zero complaints about how it serves our needs. Reason for choosing Vimeo The pricing felt more doable for my, then, low income business. Review Source BF Ben F. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "How I share all of my videos" March 5, 2023 5.0 Overall this software has been a very important tool to my business over the years and I been consistently happy with it. Pros I like everything about Vimeo, but especially the sharing and privacy features. It's important to my business to be able to keep videos private and only viewed by authorized people. Vimeo's features let me do this. Cons Vimeo is not cheap to use, but it is worth the price. Review Source Richard P. Social Media Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "My Personal Review about Vimeo" August 26, 2023 5.0 Over all creating a video for my marketing gives me less time because all the templates are available to vimeo depending what approach would you like to create a marketing video; Video engagement is very important for marketing. Vimeo changed how editing can be easy and saves a lot of time. If you are a begineer you dont need a video editor to do it you can make one with this Vimeo Pro. Pros I like vimeo because it gives time to create a video for marketing ads for any social media platform. Save me time to create a wonderful video promotion with a lot of templates available to the site. Cons I know it's have a free trial to test how this vimeo works for my business as a social media manager. But if you want more features and templates you upgrade to pro for more satisfied experience creating a video. Review Source MF Melisa F. Freelancing Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review for Vimeo" August 20, 2022 5.0 Great for sharing your content. I like to use this platform and recommend it to anyone. Pros Its a great way to share your content across different avenues. So quock and easy. Cons I guess i was supposed to write a con about vimeo but i can't find anything i dont like about it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Creative Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great foundation for video workflow" November 10, 2019 4.0 Vimeo Pro has been an essential part of our video team's editing workflow and makes sharing videos with others internally very easy. Pros We use Vimeo Pro mostly to share work in progress and proofs. The quick upload and large amount of storage makes it an ideal solution for this. Cons The features available with Vimeo Pro are pretty basic. Changing video settings on mobile is a bit of a headache. Review Source DD Daisy D. president Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "my go-to video content management software" January 30, 2022 5.0 Pros \- storage features - sharing features - organization features - embed to website features Cons \- more expensive that I was hoping but works well which is way i keep it Review Source AS Atharva S. Founder & CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "VImeo Pro Software User review" July 16, 2021 5.0 With Vimeo pro, we edit and create catchy videos that has helped us to gain leads and increase our customers to a large extent. Truly, I would say that Vimeo Pro is one of a kind software for any business purposes. Pros Vimeo pro is a very easy video editing software that is best to use even for beginners. The huge number of templates along with the pre-loaded images, videos and audio help make video editing as simple as ever. Cons What I liked least is the highly limited features in the free version. The watermark is also big and usually erases a lot of important areas. Exporting videos can also take too long in some cases. Longer videos with many layers are a drawback of this software. Review Source Mike W. Managing Partner Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vimeo Pro is worth the premium" August 14, 2018 5.0 I capture lots of meetings on video so that others on my team can see what they missed, do transcriptions, find key turns of phrase, and collect clips for client deliverables. We use it religiously (weekly). Vimeo fits into our workflow easily and makes us look great to our clients (because we can keep just their content in just their album). Pros Now, you can share videos with multiple reviewers who can click and comment as the video plays. All the comments show up in chronological order on the right side. Great for logging, editing, graphic additions, and captions. Cons All of the 'complaints' I had last year have been remedied with user interface updates. I'm completely happy with this product. Review Source Fetiye E. Instructor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using videos for learning!" June 12, 2022 5.0 I've been using videos for my classroom teaching and for student tasks in the last years. Vimeo Pro gives me to edit videos I can create for my lessons, it gives me the chance to make my own video library! Pros It can both be private and public. It is easy to use for all kinds of users; it is practical. It allows you to have a personal library. It allows you to follow your favorite artists' and channels' work. It can be integrated with many other websites. Cons Not many people, especially teachers, know about it. Review Source Similar Products Featured
