Considered Both Products
Dubb - Video Communication Platform
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
The editing and use of AI is much better with Dubb - Video Communication Platform. Customer service is located right here in the US and in the same time zone as me, Pacific. The functionality is easy and the interface of the product is clean and well laid out. Pricing is very …
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
I have used BIGVU, but find myself really only using Dubb, it is easier, more comprehensive and has more options.
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
I compared Dubb - Video Communication Platform with BombBomb. After review, I just preferred the features and functionality of Dubb - Video Communication Platform. Things like the calendar integration and 1:1 chat feature will add value to my business. I just felt that Dubb - …
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
When deciding between Dubb and BombBomb, they're marketing was just cleaner and it seemed like a much better value for what I was going to get.
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
I like Dubb better than the others, mainly because the price point seemed better, and the support has been fantastic.
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
I have utilized older or more basic versions/software of video email but Dubb - Video Communication Platform wins, hands down
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
I have used Glimpse and Boom Boom. Both are good. Dubb fits my style the best
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
Dubb - Video Communication Platform is better for text delivery and offers more branding and action items.
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
This is the best video, lead gen, client retention, and video funnel builder I have ever used! if you use Bomb Bomb you won't after giving this a spin!
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
I have used another platform Bomb Bomb for over 3 years. I felt that Bomb Bomb was a good product but Dubb - Video Communication Platform does more for affordable pricing. I feel the Dubb - Video Communication Platform leaders set up this platform for success vs. just having …
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
I can't think of any better platform and I have used Bom Bom and a few others but I can't remember the names.
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
I started using Video Ask because I hadn't found Dubb yet. Their use cases do cross over some; however, it is a different product (apples to oranges) with Video Asks sequences.
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
Dubb - Video Communication Platform has so many more benefits than either of those I mentioned - BUT MOSTLY it's the team behind it that brings their product home. They have such a passion for their tool and a desire to make sure those that use it have the same experience. It …
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
I was not involved in evaluating Dubb versus other platforms.
Chose Dubb - Video Communication Platform
Have not, and will not, use another.
Wistia
Chose Wistia
Vidyard was much more expensive even though it has tighter integration with HubSpot. This put Wistia in a better category from a cost perspective because most of the heavy lifting with automation is handled on the HubSpot side of things. Vidyard also felt like it was geared to …
Chose Wistia
Wistia is for business. Period. Vimeo has none of the benefits for a business that Wistia offers. The SEO value and SUPER FAST playback speed are essential. Wistia has it all. Personally, I can rarely get thought a video if hosted on Vimeo because of the glitchy playback and …
Chose Wistia
I found Vidyard to be a tad clunky, at least when I tried to use it. Vimeo's design features didn't seem as modern to me and didn't integrate as well with other apps/website platforms, at least when I was investigating a video hosting platform. Wistia is more expensive than …
Chose Wistia
Wistia is much easier to integrate into our site than using S3 directly.
Chose Wistia
I wasn't part of the selection process.
Chose Wistia
We've used Youtube in the past, and still use it to host some videos today, but we didn't like how mainstream it feels when you embed it on a website. For one thing, you can't customize the appearance so it feels out of place with our branding and color scheme on our website …
Chose Wistia
Honestly, I haven't gotten too in-depth yet, but that is the closest thing. Gotta give that point to Wistia, though, still because in my experience, at least, trying to learn Vidyard's features did not seem to be the right path at the time when Wistia was not causing any …
Chose Wistia
Vimeo is less customizable. They both offer a free plan and paid premium plans. Vimeo doesn't have the A/B testing and ability to focus on the marketing aspect of the videos to obtain more revenue. The CTAs are much better in Wistia and are much easier to work with.
Chose Wistia
Wistia had the best site speed performance out of these competitors and had the most functionality. We really loved the ability to track usage and plays on the videos, the lead capturing, bookmarking, CTA build-outs, and all of the customizations we could do with it compared to …
Chose Wistia
Wistia is pretty comparable to Vimeo but it seems to cost more for the same features. I liked the Wistia brand and the great educational and entertaining content they produce which is largely why we chose Wistia. With a smaller budget, I would probably go with Vimeo next time …
Chose Wistia
  • Prices are better.
  • No useless options.
  • Easier to use
Chose Wistia
Wistia offers more features overall and a better interface. I have found that they have the best analytics and provide helpful insights into the performance of each video. You can integrate incredibly easy into websites, without technical savvy or any kind of expertise with …
Chose Wistia
Wistia proved to strike a balance between features, support, reliability, and ease of use. Some offer deeper features, but require much more of executional teams, which increases drag and friction in continually distributing new content.
Chose Wistia
We have used Wistia so long I can't remember.
Chose Wistia
Wistia is much more user friendly and gives the ability to replace videos. Also the the statistics were easier to access and use with Wistia.
Chose Wistia
We haven't really explored other products. I've been using Wistia for so long that there was nothing like Wistia when I started. It's still a solid product for a good price.
Chose Wistia
In the past we have tried to host some of our video content in Dropbox. Wistia has proven to be a much better solution as it allows for much more flexibility in sharing the content externally and also having an easy interface for admin users to add and locate video content.
Chose Wistia
I have used Vimeo as an alternative, and I prefer Wistia for marketing and embedding videos on my site. I also use YouTube, of course.
Chose Wistia
Wistia provides the functionality that most companies need for video marketing and video hosting/analytics. When we compared with Vidyard, the cost of Vidyard was far higher, but the functionality did not seem to be much more advanced than Wistia. Wistia seems to be a good …
Chose Wistia
Wistia is slightly more expensive, but the metrics/data provided, combined with the ease of use, makes it the perfect choice for us. Being able to break videos into series/projects is very useful. Additionally, the chapter feature makes it easy to allow users to watch all or …
Chose Wistia
We looked at self-hosting videos on our client sites using AWS and Cloudflare, but we really didn't want to have to code our own product or have to deal with server configurations. Wistia made it simple to sign-up, upload, and start embedding our content on our sites. We also …
Chose Wistia
Vimeo Pro works well for artistic folks, those on a budget, or those not looking to leverage video for demand gen or lead capture. It served us well for a while, but just wasn't cutting it. Wistia has more on the integrations end than Vimeo, and we have benefitted the most from …
Chose Wistia
We have found that many companies do not whitelist YouTube, and it is against policy to access the channel. By using Wistia, we can get around that predicament.
Chose Wistia
Wistia was our default choice because of the popularity and the quality of videos generated by the team. We did not evaluate other software platforms and directly went with Wistia.

Dubb - Video Communication PlatformWistia
Likelihood to Recommend
Although it is an extremely diverse platform with many use cases, I have found it best suited to creating a message based on a specific marketing strategy and being able to reach people at scale. While it offers adequate CRM functionality in most cases, if you are needing a more robust CRM it might not have the functionality you need.

It's so awesome to see my videos come up on Google Search. A click brings viewers right to my website!!! Incredibly powerful. If I were just posting on YouTube, visitors would end up there and then off to the next best cat video instead of taking action with me on my website.

Pros
  • Very simple to use. When I'm considering a new tool, it has to make my day easier. Not add frustration to my day.
  • Includes personal branding in multiple places.
  • I really like the Presets. Before I realized presets were an option, I was spending an additional time adding CTAs. Now I have presets for each category. And I can add specific videos to each preset.

  • Wistia enables a lot of customization in the video player, making it personalized to your business.
  • The user experience is pretty intuitive and easy to use without too much training.
  • Wistia's help articles, blog and instructional videos were very helpful as we began investing more resources into video production.

Cons
  • I don't see how we can easily change the order in which videos are displayed on a showcase. It seems to default to the order in which the videos were uploaded, from oldest to most recent. That being said, I have not brought this up to the Dubb team yet; usually if something makes sense and can be done, the Dubb team figures out how to make it happen.

  • Obtaining embed codes for a significantly large number of videos can be very time consuming as there is no way to automatically pull a report.
  • Within a project, there is no way to set the list to show a specific number of videos and you may only have a certain number of videos shown unless you click to expand the list and continue to do so.
  • Once the list is expanded and you click in to a video, when clicking back, the list reloads and you must expand the entire list again which can become very time consuming.

It's our favorite tool. It continues to get better. It gives us the opportunity to make a passive income for an outstanding product. It makes marketing fun and much easier since talking is much easier and more enjoyable than writing is. Plus the open rate is through the roof. In a world that has become almost completely virtual, it allows us to give a personal, in-person touch.

Wistia is super easy to use and very reliable, anytime a video needs to be updated, the existing media can be replaced, but the url remains the same so anywhere this media is shared or embedded, it is immediately updated. Their support is extremely helpful, and there is very rarely any issues with this product.

Usability
Video can still be a little bit imposing and invasive to some people. I have some businesses and clients I can't use Dubb with due to their age, comfort with technology, or overall impression on video - so I have to find alternatives to fit those gaps, which is time consuming. Less of a comment on Dubb and more on the struggle I have with some clients

I just love the interface and the way things are organized. You can find all of the various controls and have the ability to enable/disable each. You can also get to help quickly from any screen. The screens are not cluttered and have a good use of whitepace, without the need to page through controls or reload the screen.

Performance
No answers on this topic
Couldn't be happier with the overall performance of the platform. Videos load fast, rarely have loading issues, look sclean and the styling and sizing doesn't have issues. The data comes in quickly and in real time. Also, on the administrative side, the videos seem to upload well without much issue. There's always issues uploading video, but we had way less upload issues with Wistia than with Vimeo.

They have three webinars a week for onboarding and Q&A purposes! They have a very active Facebook group, they are very active on email sending quality content for the growth of your initiatives. Only for support, I would get started all over with them

We have only had to reach out to Wistia support a handful of times in the 4 years we have been using Wistia. They have always been quick to respond and help us solve the problem. The system is self-service so there should be very little to no need to reach out to support on a regular basis.

Alternatives Considered
Dubb - Video Communication Platform's technology works. The other company's built-in video recording capability resulted in a very low-quality output (video), and Dubb - Video Communication Platform is built for business owners and marketers, which is a better fit for me, personally.

Wistia is in the process of making their livestreaming way better than the free alternative like YouTube and a well known competitor like gotomeeting. It's easy to add in cohosts, interact with chat members, add in polls and other features which can be a bit clunky on gotomeeting.

  • Increased email interaction on newsletters when embedding Wistia video thumbnail into email campaigns (10-15% links clicked bumped to 30-40% links clicked).
  • Can save us about 50+ hours of one-on-one client meeting time per year for pointing clients to video content rather than presenting the same info in a live setting.
