Vimeo Reviews & Product Details

Ease of use, navigation and configuration. Secure access.

Nothing. It is easy to use. I wish it integrated with more applications like Silver Chair to serve up video content within our digital library.

With Vimeo, we now have a common platform for serving up and storing video.

Easy to use. Rich video information and many options for the video to be published or to have it private. Secure, you can protect your media with a password. You can enable or disable the download button. Many more features, like Vimeo live and Vimeo channels. Sharing and embedding options. Processing a video is like a charm, and it encodes the video with multiple resolutions for the best quality and speed.

I want to see more controls in the player.

I am uploading large videos for online streaming, like film screenings.

We do video editing for clients and use the review function the most. It allows us to share videos with our clients and they can make comments on the timeline - helping our editors clearly understand what they need to change. Really awesome. Once edits are made, the editor replaces the video and the client can toggle between the previous version with their time-stamped comments and the current version to check edits. Works like a charm

It is not exactly cheap but it is worth it.

The main problem we are solving is client communication. Although we really started using Vimeo to host our videos because Youtube started showing the other video ads at the end of their videos. We embed many videos on websites and really do not appreciate having some competitor's video pop up when a visitor finished watching ours. But after we started using it we found the review function and it changed our workflow completely.

I like that Vimeo allows password protected video content.

The monthly cost can be slightly pricey.

Having a platform to host my videos.

Vimeo is very convenient to use for all video hosting services. Vimeo is used as a video hosting tool for embedding videos on various websites. The key advantage of Vimeo is that it can display videos without any advertisments or related/suggested videos. Vimeo is also very easy to implement, the embedded code for the videos can be obtained from the same page as the video itself and its easy to edit/modify to make it according to the various requirements that we need.

Vimeo is at times glitchy in the implementation. Also the UI is not as attractive and user friendly as other platforms like YouTube. For most queries you can get support online. There is also a limit on the video hosting service as Vimeo is a freemium service which requies you to subscribe after a certain stage. Overall compared to YouTube, Vimeo has its advantages and disadvantages in its use and implementation

We use Vimeo as a platform for hosting videos and embedding them on various websites. It is also helpful in adding videos without additional clutter like advertisments and related videos which are present in YouTube. Also its pretty convinient to use Vimeo to add and play embedded videos in a loop.

Embedding videos is so simple, changing your audience to only domains that you choose, live streaming. You can't get a better video service than Vimeo!

Nothing! It's such a user-friendly, reliable service to use.

Compared to YouTube live streaming, Vimeo is much simpler to set up and embed on a website. Also, being able to show Vimeo videos only on certain domains is a huge benefit.

Our favorite thing about Vimeo is the video quality and custom touches that you can add to the video player and public-facing account page

I'm not a huge fan of their pricing model and the upload limits depending on the tier.

I was using vimeo to send client-ready review files but frame.io has become a much better solution. We use our vimeo pro account to host videos.

Vimeo let's you start for free and remain free for a long time. When it's time to upgrade, the upgrade options are reasonably priced. Vimeo On Demand is a great service also.

Vimeo doesn't have a main website portion for users like YouTube does. It's focussed on creators and not viewers. It could improve on this and have both creator and non-creator accounts.

Vimeo is video hosting. It's great of you want a YouTube alternative but it has its negatives and positives when compared to YouTube.

What I like best about Vimeo is how easy it is to create and send videos to friends and family. Also, how you can create videos for business as well, I am relatively new to using Vimeo, but I can see its value. My clients love it too.

I want the Video Basic to have a more extensive weekly mb usage. I think that the more Vimeo gets exposure, the more business will be generatated.

The problem solved with Vimeo is that it is straightforward to use, and you can explain it readily to clients, and they appreciate the application better

Speed, Catalog, Search and editable options. Awesome interface. Super Reliable. The review links are so helpful. Comments and version control right on the review link is vital. The playback quality is superior to everything we tested.

I dislike that some companies have web filter against all vimeo.com links this results in us being blocked, we bypass it by using vimeopro.com. Another thing that can vimeo needs is a caption/subtitle auto generator.

Version Control, Client sharing, Hosting, MultiDevice access. Remote Work among editors is easier. Also hosting all our final projects.

The best thing about Vimeo is the audience is a bit mature and feedback is more on the mature side. Vimeo doesn’t have advertisements as their focus is not on making money from advertising which is a serious turn off when watching videos. You won’t see adds before videos or in the middle of any video. You will never be overwhelmed by unwanted adds while watching videos on Vimeo. You can easily download videos and watch them offline later. You can update any video once it has been published and you can still keep the stats of your previous video. All of the view count, statistics, likes and comments will still remain as they were there in a previous version. You can simply replace a video with an improved version of your video. It doesn’t disable your video as it’s not that strict but you have to be careful.

The only thing that I dislike about Vimeo is that it doesn’t have too much of free storage.

The best feature on Vimeo has is that you can put a password on your videos if you don’t want it to be seen by anyone else beside your clients. A password protected video will only been seen if you have a password. You can simply share the link to the video and share the password. And if you don’t want anybody to add comments to your video, you can do that as well. Similarly, you can also restrict viewers from downloading your videos if you don’t want it to be downloaded.

I love the ability to store video files and to create short marketing videos using Vimeo Create.

The cost of Vimeo Create and the fact that you can't pay monthly for this service.

I was looking for an easy-to-use marketing video-creation software, that would allow me to create short videos for my business. Vimeo Create does just that, and it has enabled me to easily create professional-looking marketing videos for my business.

Video quality and the fact that they are always improving and providing new options.

Sometimes they change things for the worse.

As a PRO level member, I use Vimeo to embed videos into my own website, as well as providing videos to clients for review. As a long time user, early on Vimeo blew competition out of the water being affordable and customizable, and it remains true today. Since then they've added so many features that I use it for client review, and delivery of final videos. I was able to cancel a different monthly membership because Vimeo added the same features I was paying a different platform $15/month for. The analytics options are huge. Although I dislike some the changes that have been made to this feature, it's still very valuable and provides insights to how my website is doing beyond typical web analytics. There are other features I use--creating showcases, licensing music, and being listed in the "for hire" section--but those are less important to me. Vimeo is also my go-to website when looking for inspiration or industry related tutorials.

Very good software to get it done, has never had any issues.

I haven't has any issues and its been working great for me the last year or so

I'm able to streamline my workflow and get jobs done quicker and easier than anything I've used before

I like being able to upload videos that don't contain ads and other distracting elements that can take our viewers focus away. The price for the upgrade is good compared to additional hosting costs associates with high quality video streams. The look of Vimeo is minimal and more professional than other popular video hosting solutions. I like the extensive options we get such as embedding and disabling video suggestions at the end of our video's playback.

I haven't run into substantial issues with the performance of our Vimeo videos. If I wanted to make it better, I would probably add more advanced editing features that could give us the same caption control and effects quality that YouTube editing tools have.

For a competitive price, we can use Vimeo to publish web videos that are easy to access through our website, Facebook and through the Vimeo website. We can add keywords in our title and description to have them pop up more frequently in related Google searches. We can also add links that can allow viewers to learn more about our services and other business items.
