    Considered Both Products
    Vidyard
    Chose Vidyard
    We selected Vidyard because Wistia didn't offer as many robust lead generation features and didn't offer as deep of integration with Hubspot. We also wanted to have that main video hub and Wistia didn't have that at all when we were doing this evaluation, though I think they …

    Chose Vidyard
    Pricing-wise, it's definitely in between the two options above. It offers more capabilities than Wistia and is less expensive than Brightcove.

    I like Vidyard way better than Wistia.

    I am hoping to send many videos via email. Wistia would have been charging per video per month. Vidyard is unlimited videos which was a huge selling point for me.

    Chose Vidyard
    Vidyard allowed our Sales reps to easily create videos, whereas Wistia only allowed us to house them.

    Chose Vidyard
    The Vidyard team was far more responsive that the Wistia team. This made it a no brainer.

    Chose Vidyard
    I haven't tried any of the Vidyard competitors, but have heard good things about Wistia as well. Both companies send great marketing content with tips and tricks for getting the most value out of their systems. At this point I have no urge of switching to a different video …
    Incentivized
    Chose Vidyard
    I do think Vidyard offers more in terms of a total package for sales and marketing. WIth Vimeo and Wistia, we were only focusing on the video hosting aspect. Vidyard offers much more in terms of recording, customization, and metrics. It is definitely a powerful tool if you can …

    Chose Vidyard
    We initially switched from Wistia due to some specific integration requirements. Those requirements are no longer relevant, but I can't imagine switching back.
    Incentivized
    Chose Vidyard
    Youtube and Vimeo, no comparison. Analytics and CRM integration just aren't there. Obviously not focused on businesses and the customer support isn't there even though they do technically host videos. They just do a way worse job.

    Wistia is definitely less focused on SaaS and …

    Chose Vidyard
    Vidyard seems to be the easiest to use especially for our sales teams. Our Customer Advocate and Implementation Teams do use CloudApp. It seems similar, but less applicable for sales. Vidyard has awesome Salesforce and HubSpot integrations!
    Incentivized
    Chose Vidyard

    Overall the things that I liked the most about Vidyard are:

    • The page where people see your video can be customized to look like our website; their name/brand is not there. You can also add links in the top menu to navigate through our website, request a demo, etc.
    • When you send …

    Chose Vidyard
    The product seems to have more depth in my opinion. I also think they are more focused on the development of features for their customer.
    Incentivized
    Chose Vidyard
    It was the HubSpot integration that was the big thing for us. Because it's the video engine inside HubSpot, it's the most seamless integration.
    Incentivized
    Chose Vidyard
    I went with Vidyard not because a deep-dive comparison yielded a win for Vidyard, but rather because of my previous experience and thus easier uptake.
    Incentivized
    Chose Vidyard
    Perhaps, these competitors have upped their game since I last used them, but I find Vidyard to be quicker to integrate into websites in that it takes less troubleshooting overall. Also, I'm not sure if these companies have quite the same ease of use when it comes to screen cap …
    Incentivized
    Chose Vidyard
    Vidyard's integration and ease of use with the platform sets them apart from the competition. The real kicker is the way they treat their partners.

    Vidyard is always one step ahead with innovations and UI.

    I've used their soapbox platform, which is similar to GoVideo, however, GoVideo has been easier to use with Slack and Gmail.

    Comparable products but I like the Vidyard integration with HubSpot.

    At the time we switched we were impressed with the email process. it was significantly better than Soap Box. We switched back as Soap Box improved and the library difficulties became irritating.

    We jumped on the Vidyard bandwagon early on. They are awesome to deal with and are alway innovating

    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 …
    Incentivized
    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 Vidy…
    Incentivized
    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
    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
    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 …

    Wistia stacks up against the competitors quite well. It's more affordable than Vidyard and Brightcove. It provides enough functionality and metrcis for our current video campaigns...we are just getting started. Perhaps when we graduate onto more sophisticated video campaigns we …

    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 …

    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.

    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.

    Wistia seemed to be more embraced by our sales team. We had also met members of their team at marketing conferences and they were very helpful in sending materials and best practices that got us firing on all cylinders out of the gate. At the end of the day, we are looking for …
