"Not a bad Loom alternative, but a VERY cool video hosting platform."
4/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

Hippo Video allows me to create a quick explainer video and send to someone who really needs less words and to just *see* what I'm seeing. It can help avoid the days or even weeks, of going back and forth between people, by literally *showing* issues or ideas to the other party. But what I like best is the feature to place my videos in categories and to embed them anywhere I like (anywhere they allows for the iframe embed code). I *also* like the tight integration with gmail too (icons in the top right) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

It can be a little clunky or buggy sometimes. It's gotten stronger and more reliable just over the past year or so (the time which I've been using it) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hippo Video?

I'm just getting started with Hippo Video, but so far, so good. After using Vidyard for years, I need a more robust solution without required the top tier Enterprise Subscription. There is still a lot to learn, but Hippo is quite feature rich. Total worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

Nothing right now. The software is great, and the support is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best customer service combined with a great product!"
4/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

What I like most about Hippo is that you can create your own video templates, that is the reason I decided to go with Hippo. You can create a template that is very specific to your business needs. Thank you so much! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I want the updates to happen quickly and be able to have even more functionality of the program. All in all, I'm really happy about Hippo, it's really hard to come up with a dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gangadhar Thilak of Hippo Video

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for taking the time to review Hippo Video and the 4-star rating. The team at Hippo Video is elated and appreciates your kind words.

Regarding your question about SPAM, the deliverability is not impacted when you send video emails using Hippo Video as videos are not directly attached to the emails.

Instead, the video link is added to the email body text that appears as a GIF or image thumbnail. This method is similar to adding an image or a regular link to an email, and it does not have any additional impact on deliverability.

And here are some best practices you can follow to maximize your video email deliverability.

Thank you.

See how Hippo Video improved

"Hippo Video - an amazing product at an incredible price"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

I absolutely love the excellent customer support that Hippo Video provides. The team are always available to help customers get the best experience with the service and provide helpful recommendations along the way. But my favourite thing about Hippo Video has to be the guest recording feature - it really provides convenience and ease of use for both me and my clients! With this handy link URL, users don't need separate accounts or plugin installations; they can just click the link to start recording immediately, which is automatically uploaded directly to my account without any hassle - it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

I love everything that Hippo Video has to offer. The platform is user-friendly, the navigation is fast and the customer service is excellent. When I first signed up for the software, their team spent extra time on the phone with me to make sure I understood how it worked and that my needs were adequately met. They even provided me with a full version of the software. Hippo Video has really exceeded my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great alternative to vimeo or other expensive services!"
4/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

I like Hippo video because it makes sending sales videos to clients super simple, not only that but it allows me to create sales pages that look great without having to go and make them on my own website. It's a really powerful tool where you can embed your CTAs and examples instead of a plain video page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

I think that the platform itself could use a little bit of tweaking. It works! But I wish it was a little cleaner and the UX was a little more modern. The landing page builder works, but could use some updates on the customization side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gangadhar Thilak of Hippo Video

Hello Gabe,

Thanks for your review and rating. We are delighted to hear about your experience with Hippo Video.

We are working on enhancing our UX and you will see a better version soon.

Until then, hook 'em with videos and close better with in-video CTAs.

Cheers,

Thilak.

"Amazing product at a great price"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

I really appreciate the excellent customer service that Hippo Video provides. Their guest recording feature has been a great help to me and makes communicating with my contacts quick and easy. By simply sharing a URL, customers can make video recordings of themselves without having to install additional software or register for another program such as Loom. One click on the provided link starts the recording, which makes it incredibly easy! This convenience is one of the things I really like about Hippo Video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

I do not like how difficult it is to use and distribute URLs from Hippo Video. Prior to the new releases, I had the convenience of being able to save a URL with a simple click and easily send it out - my recipients didn't even need login credentials to access it. Now, however, I have trouble finding the correct link, and when I send it out, people often can't open it or watch what I've shared until they log in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
