"From Aquisition to an Unbeatable Brightcove Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Brightcove?

Brightcove has always gone out of their way to fix any problems or concerns, even if it means developing new products and connectors for us. They are also competitive when it comes to pricing and will not be beat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightcove?

When Brightcove bought Ooyala, it was a rough start as they didn't have all the features we needed that Ooyala has. But they didn't let that stop them from keeping our business. They connected me with the engineering team and built the platform to be exactly what we needed. So, anytime there is a dislike, Brightcove develops, fixes, or improves their platform to eliminate that dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for Video Marketing and Hosting, Livestreams and Virtual Events"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Brightcove?

Brightcove has been great for our video hosting needs. We host most of our videos on our website in Brightcove, and we also use their live module for virtual events and livestreams, both internal and external. It's a very easy-to-use interface and their customer support is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightcove?

Some of the interactivity and branding of galleries isn't as evolved as I'd like it to be, with limited customization options for galleries. playlists, etc. Would love more out-of-the-box interactivity for videos without have to purchase additional products. We also use Marketo for lead generations and would love a more robust integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Felz of Brightcove

Hi Erin,

Glad to hear you are getting value out of your Brightcove solution. We strive to be that unified platform for our customers and are happy that you're able to streamline your workflows with us!

Since livestreaming seems to be a strong use case for you, I did want to note that if you're looking to further build on your live strategy, we've recently announced a more strategic partnership with Socialive which helps extend Brightcove's live capabilities and give you more control over the initial production of your content.

When it comes to interactivity, we have some exciting improvements for '24. We're also working on better Marketo integrations which will also help strengthen the connection between our solutions.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

"A most forward thinking tech organization."
5/5
What do you like best about Brightcove?

Both philosophically and technically, the team at Brightcove has anticipated our needs and has already thought through many of the pain points we experienced and felt with video content management and livestreaming. For example, their content management system solved almost all our internal content management problems right out of the box. I am excited to have a partner of this caliber to work with on a regular basis. This really does shine in their support process as well. Their support team is the most knowledgable team with the products they work with I have ever seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightcove?

In some ways, Brightcove retains a sea of features that are designated by a variety of names. While understanding their use cases is simple, the organizational thought between the individual products and features seems idiosyncratic at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ken Haren of Brightcove

Thank you for taking the time to provide this review. We put a lot of effort in to maintaining a professional, knowledgable and proactive support organization and it is great for us to hear this kind of feedback validating that effort.
