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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DO NOT SUBSCRIBE! - THERE'S NO WAY OUT!! " April 1, 2024 1.0 Cons Once you have subscribed for a basic membership, it is literally impossible to unsubscribe. There is no method to cancel online, despite directions on their website which tell you where to go. There is no customer support phone number. There is no live chat option. The phone number \[sensitive content hidden\] popped up for the bank when cutting off their charge on my credit card. Dialing that, I was still unable to connect with anyone as I do not have a "pin" number, so was unable to advance past the automated introduction. Don't waste your time with Vimeo. Use another option. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Filmmaker/Photojournalist & Co-owner Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vimeo is the best for content creators." 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 RS Robert S. Marketing Coordinator Furniture Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Vimeo is great!" May 23, 2024 5.0 Overall, using Vimeo works great for us and allows us with a place to house and share video with our team and partners. Pros Vimeo is easy to use and convenient for businesses that need somewhere to house video assets without looking to generate traffic. Cons The only downside I can think of with Vimeo is that sharing links externally can be tricky. Whenever a video is finished uploading, the share button will not work when sending out in a newsletter, Teams, etc. the video id needs to be added to the end of a separate url. Not a big deal, just not as convenient as the rest of the platform.

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.

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 SS Shanice S. Event coordinator Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review 2023" September 11, 2023 5.0 overall i have had a very positive experience with vimeo Pros It is very easy to edit and imbed a video onto different platforms. I like that i can remove the water mark when needed Cons at first it was difficult to navigate as a first user, but once i had become accustom to the features it was easier to use Review Source Shane S. Company Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Vimeo Pro is among the best video streaming platforms that I use." September 26, 2022 5.0 My experience using Vimeo Pro has been great. It has an amazing hosting and sharing platform that makes everything seamless. The quality of the videos is also excellent together with customer service. I would definitely continue using the service. Pros What I like about Vimeo Pro is that it allows me to upload my videos in HD which is great for quality purposes. I also like it because it password protects my videos so that only people with the password can view them. Cons The main downside about Vimeo Pro is that it is a bit more expensive than some of the other video hosting out there. Additionally, Vimeo Pro does not offer many features as some of the other platforms. Review Source aA anas A. Officer Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Vimeo Pro Review" January 27, 2022 5.0 I think that it is a wonderful program that deserves attention and use and forms the basis for editors in the content industry and for users through learning and accuracy of the subject in the video, as well as the sound Pros It allows us, as users, to watch learning courses in excellent quality without distraction and safer for ages under 18, and this in itself achieves the purpose of learning and understanding content without disturbing advertisements with the possibility of returning to the video and reviewing it accurately without obstacles Cons I do not find those negatives that prevent users or editors from using it categorically, and I do not see that there is either one negative or the addition of the View Screen feature Review Source DH David H. Co-Founder Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A core tool for our business" April 17, 2020 5.0 Delivers all our video for a large online magazine - in nearly every article. It's professional, easy to use and well-priced. Pros Great features at a great price - delivers video to our readers without ads...with almost unlimited capacity. Cons Can't think of anything...delivers all we want...could it deliver links in video like Wistia? Doesn't matter - price is so good. Alternatives considered [Wistia](https://www.capterra.com/p/82313/Wistia/) Reason for choosing Vimeo Price. Love Wistia's features but the price just doesn't compare.
