"JW Player Is All You Need"

4.5/5

What do you like best about JW Player?

I love how intuitive the website is. They just updated it so you can now tag videos straight from the home page. That and other new upgrades really make it user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JW Player?

The website can get a bit slow at some times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JW Player solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business I work for has an online portion of a school that we are uploading videos to everyday for people to watch throughout the United States. We needed a video platform to host all of these videos and JW Player is the best in the business. It is easy to upload videos and to embed them onto websites or playlists for other people to watch. They also make it easy to find different videos with their tagging system. They are also great for live streaming and have not had failed on any of the hundreds of times we have used the platform to live stream as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good HTML5 player"

4.5/5

What do you like best about JW Player?

Jwplayer is one of my favorite developers, I really like it a lot, it's a very clean and nice interface, it adapts perfectly to your HTML5 sites, it allows almost any type of video files, it also has a video converter, you can edit the resolutions, sizes and formats, the server where the videos are hosted, it's very good, I've tried other similar services, and regardless of the network speed you have, they tend to have certain video transmission failures, but here they have very good covered that topic, and the reproduction is quite fluid, very rarely, usually the server is down, or something like that, really friends, this is a great tool for us.

What do you dislike about JW Player?

It is somewhat expensive, I would love this tool to be a little more economical, where we use it, because our business really needs it and they are the ones who pay, but I would like to use it as a video storage solution, for personal projects, but I really cannot, and the free version, does not have the features that have the paid version, it's just like to try :( Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
