Considered Both Products
Atlassian Loom
Chose Atlassian Loom
We have used zoom, google meet or youtube to manage our videos in the past. But both did not seem to be as seamless for everyone to use it. Loom came in to provide an easy way for everyone to use video and share screens or communicate in general. Loom integrates with slack and …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I tried other solutions for video feedback and none of them could match how quick and easy the video recording and sharing is on Loom. Also the consistency of the recordings and reliability is crucial.
Chose Atlassian Loom
I use Loom because everybody knows Loom, and they are more likely to click on the link.
Chose Atlassian Loom
Loom: Loom offers both free and paid plans. The free plan includes basic features and limitations, while the paid plans unlock additional functionalities such as longer video recordings, HD quality, and more advanced sharing options. Either way, quite affordable Vidyard: …
Chose Atlassian Loom
As mentioned before not a team collaboration replacement but a great tool for individual issue resolution and sharing best practice resources.
Chose Atlassian Loom
Loom is great as it is the first in the market. But sendspark is a close second with its pricing and support
Chose Atlassian Loom
When we evaluated the alternatives, Loom was by far the most advanced tool, with multiple types of integrations. Additionally, Loom also provided a Free plan, which made it easy to consider as an alternative. Vidyard and similar tools integrated better with certain other tools …
Chose Atlassian Loom
Honestly, before using Loom, I was recording videos from my cell phone and sending them through Whatsapp or Telegram to try to send large file sizes! I know there are other screen recording tools, but Loom's web interface with all the settings just knocks it out of the park for …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I selected Loom because of product superiority and intuitiveness. Loom has high quality videos compared to others, the Freemium tier is very exciting in Loom. Loom is a multipurpose tool that comes to our help in many areas- whereas other tools are more focused on a specific …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I didn't use any other product like Loom. Skype or Viber just won't work for what I needed. I talked with people who used other products but didn't try one myself. Loom was the first to try and I stayed with it. I was satisfied enough with Loom that I didn't feel like exploring …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I prefer loom to droplr because of its easy interface. I had to take extra time to learn how to become effective with Droplr, while Loom felt self explanatory.
Chose Atlassian Loom
Zoom's recording feature has been helpful before Loom, but I appreciate that with Loom I can go back and re-record something if I made a mistake. It's much easier.
Chose Atlassian Loom
Simplified version of ScreenFlow, not as comprehensive as ScreenFlow in terms of features, but it does the trick for making short training videos. If you just want to capture something on-screen and not do a lot of editing, then Loom is perfect for that. Great for generating …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I tried lots of different screen recording software but ultimately chose Loom because it had the simplest and most user-friendly UI. There are certainly more advanced apps, like ScreenFlow, but my use case is fairly simple—I just want to be able to record video/screen-shares as …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I've used Camstasia and Screen-o-Matic to record screen capture videos in the past. These 2 options at the time didn't have an online platform to upload the videos, so I uploaded it to Youtube or Google Drive so my collaborators could watch them. Loom is easier than them, as it …
Chose Atlassian Loom
Loom solves something that no one else is even trying to solve. Quick visualization of your online experience. Every other solution that records your screen takes time to render the video before it can be shared. Loom is taking the magic of sharing a screenshot of your computer …
Chose Atlassian Loom
Loom is the best video screen sharer that we have come across. Its ease of use and relative value in its free product make it an easy stand out when we went looking for a platform to use. Though there are different video recording platforms out there that can do similar things …
Chose Atlassian Loom
I also use Wistia, which has more functionality around saving and organizing videos. Wistia has a product called Soapbox that is very similar to Loom.
Chose Atlassian Loom
I also have used eCamm and Quicktime for screen-share/screen recordings. All of the tools here require some patch working of a screen recording, uploading the video to a hosting site, and then eventually sending it to the client. Huge time suck!
Chose Atlassian Loom
I used to use Zoom to do screen capture video - even I don't have someone else in a video conference - just because it does a good job of creating screen captures. But that's not really what Zoom is designed to do. Now, when I need to do a fast, low-production-value, …
Chose Atlassian Loom
There are plenty of screengrab / screen recording tools out there. I like loom based on it's simplicity for acheiving regularly occuring challenges. I don't typically need anything heavier, so having this as a quick tool is great!
Chose Atlassian Loom
For desktop recordings, I've only used Quicktime. Loom is overall a nicer looking and functioning tool for recording videos, although there are a couple tools that Quicktime has (like splicing videos and selecting a specific recording size) that I wish Loom had.

I have not used any other competitors to Renderforest as what they provide worked perfectly well for my needs.
Chose Renderforest Video
In my search for a motion graphic platform with an easy to use workflow, I tried out Canva. Whilst Canva didn't fit into the category I was searching for at all, it did give me another platform to do some static media content development on.

I also tried Animaker, which was a …

Powerpoint and AE: take a long time, complex to use, inefficient

Renderforest is more efficient, simpler, more convenient, faster and clear at a glance
Chose Renderforest Video
Different products have different features but they are very interesting if put together. Renderforest can be used to make an intro bumper, while Powtoon animates the contents. Not all issues can be solved by Powtoon, so you need third-party applications, like Adobe Premier, …
Chose Renderforest Video
I tried Flixpress, but I didn't like the designs of templates. According to my needs it was not good. So I chose Renderforest to close the gap in my work.
Chose Renderforest Video
This was drop-dead simple to use and the quality templates really cut down on a task that could waste hours. Thank you for the variety of templates and the ease of customization. I will look forward to there being even more text features, but I needed something special and the …
Chose Renderforest Video
I have not, but so far, I enjoyed my experience with Renderforest.
Chose Renderforest Video
I love the offer to pay to publish on a one time basis and not be locked into a monthly payment plan. It will make me use it more, but only when I need to.
Chose Renderforest Video
Renderforest is far superior. More intuitive and has a bunch of helpful templates. I've found that iMovie lacked in any direction and though there is a lot of freedom, for people who need to make quick and effective media, Renderforest is the better choice. I have really …
Chose Renderforest Video
I had initially selected another company to help create my videos but after spending a little more time doing research to see what else was out there, I couldn’t turn down Renderforest.
Chose Renderforest Video
I selected Renderforest because it gave me more alternatives especially by industry. And that is not easy to find around and in fact, I have not seen another company offering this kind of services which is useful for managers who want to show their product and services to other …
Chose Renderforest Video
Renderforest is the best tool to create any video genre you'll ever find. I'm glad to have found and will use a couple another times.No other website or tool help me to create so powerfull videos presentations.
Chose Renderforest Video
Renderforest does all the hard work for you and is easy and simple to use.
Chose Renderforest Video
Renderforest has more templates and user-friendly. Rendering was easier and did not have lots of bugs from Viddyoze.
Chose Renderforest Video
I tested every similar service on the internet and RenderForest most fits my needs because it's easy and has nice options to export the work after it is done. You can test a trial and see what the service can offer befor buying a plan.
Chose Renderforest Video
Renderforest as a company has given me the best options ovall, and did also provide me with a preview (watermark) copy of the video I was trying to capture. Within this industry, everything is visual, so that immediately helps.
Chose Renderforest Video
RenderForest outperforms their competition in quality easily. Tube Arsenal comes close but Renderforest still has far more variety and are on a different level of creativity. Adobe Spark is so bland and weak compared to RenderForest. Panzoid is also full of weak content. The …

Loom is literally the best free (or depending on your team size) tool that I have found in recent years honestly. I have a consulting practice on the side where we work in multiple timezones. Im not the best with words or explaining things over email, and im a much more visual person. being able to show somehow how to do something rather than explain it via email is HUGE. Its literall creating the office culture vibe over video, and its exactly what i need to help scale my consulting while also help provide training at my current job.

I used Renderforest to create an intro for my new YouTube show. I had made an error while cropping a logo. Customer service answered me immediately and was tremendously understanding and proactive. They fixed the error I had made and sent me back my finished product within minutes. I will definitely be using them again.

Pros
  • They have various integrations and apps, so using it on any platform is easy.
  • They have an easy recording feature - so we don't need training to use Loom.
  • Editing the video once it's made is suer easy on their backend tool - so we don't need to get the video completely right while recording.
  • Their folder system makes it easy to organize videos.

  • It's a great place for anyone who wants to improve their business by appearing very professional.
  • Easy to use and to create astonishing vibes with your clients.
  • Communication is very professional and really, really short response period.
  • For those who are more professional but have no time or ideas about what to make for their own business, inspiration is a place called Renderforest

Cons
  • The video trim feature has improved a lot recently, but it's still not perfect. Sometimes when I trim a video clip, it distorts other parts of the video.
  • It would be nice if they had a referral/affiliate program. I would get all my friends to sign up!

  • Uploading video is slow, processing time and rendering video are often jammed.
  • Some templates have more restrictions, such as the number of words in the title, the number of pictures, the size of pictures and so on.
  • Prices for individual users are not very friendly.

Usability
It's dirt easy for the one thing it does exceptionally well. If you think, "hmmm, I should make a quick screen capture of this thing on screen, you can start recording in seconds with almost no additional effort." Once you're done, the recording is automatically uploaded to your account site, and automatically creates a URL you can copy and share with your target audience. From IDEA to EXECUTION to DISTRIBUTION is literally seconds.

It was very easy. They have a nice help video to guide you along the way that you can turn off if you chose. But It was a quick process and everything tied together very well. I am very pleased with the final product. I will definitely use them again.

Performance
Loom is one of my favorite solutions and I've been a raving fan since they first launched. The value of quickly sharing videos in seconds is amazing. Our customers love it so much that they have even downloaded the Loom Chrome extension for their own use with their clients! It's so simple, and nothing else compares or competes.

Renderforest Video has great performance. In all the time I have used it, I haven't ever really had to wait for anything to be done, except for the rendering time. The reason for not giving the product a full 10 out of 10 is that the page load times in the wizard have left me frustrated at times. This, though, is most likely the result of internet service in a 3rd world country, as opposed to a slow server.

Support Rating
I use Loom for simple tasks. Never used customer support really. It's so simple to use. I haven't had any real issue with Loom which would require customer support to help me out. So I just put 5 because I don't know if the customer support is good or bad since I never used, so I'm kind of neutral.

Whilst Canva didn't fit into the category I was searching for at all, it did give me another platform to do some static media content development on. I also tried Animaker, which was a lot of fun to use, but the process was a lot more manual than what Renderforest Video presents. Renderforest Video was the easiest to use, had the widest variety of templates and made the best impression on management.

Return on Investment
  • It gives me back 2-3 hours per week in time saved fussing with typing out long emails.
  • Our team and vendors understand us faster and better when we offer revisions and training using Looms vs. trying to type it out - causing better client satisfaction.
  • We still have to use Snagit, though, until Loom gives us still screenshot edit/markup abilities!

  • More time can be spent on interviewing clients and researching and development instead of creating quality graphics.
  • The subscription payment option saves money since we know we need them constantly in the future.
  • The quality of the content is superior to the ability of our on-site graphic design team at less than half the cost.
