"Kaltura helps students master real-world skill in digital communication."
5/5
What do you like best about Kaltura Video Cloud?

In the 21st century, developing professional-level skills in digital communication is particularly critical for personal and team success. Kaltura's Video Cloud solution, along with its suite of screen capture recording products, enables universities to prioritize the development of these real-world skills among their students. Learners can easily practice and master digital presenting skills by integrating both webcam and visual content into elegant, high-quality video recordings. Once established as the presentation platform of choice across multiple courses, students can regularly produce valuable professional portfolio artifacts that significantly enhance their employment competitiveness.

What do you dislike about Kaltura Video Cloud?

The only improvement I would suggest is to make provision for multiple persons to concurrently participate in making a recording. At present, we reply on video conferencing platforms to create team-based presentations. In addition, it would be helpful if integrating a digital background would be possible, much like what you see in Zoom and MS Teams digital image-based backgrounds.

"Solid SaaS Video platform with many years in business"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Kaltura Video Cloud?

Pretty much everything: from the system itself, how it was designed and perfected over the years to adapt to users' needs, adding more and more functionalities, while keeping everything working well and smooth, the UI, the customer support team, everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kaltura Video Cloud?

In recent years more competitors came onto the market. Kaltura should keep an eye on what they are bringing in, and adapt faster (including their prices) to the new environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kaltura Video Cloud is a solution for higher education institutions due to its ease of use, ability to integrate with Zoom and Canvas, and support.

The only issues we have had with Kaltura are working within the LMS grade books. We are currently working with a Kalura engineer to address these issues. We would like to see the ability comment on live streams . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kaltura is and has always been the perfect media platform partner for a school"
5/5
What do you like best about Kaltura Video Cloud?

I've had the pleasure of helping maintain our College's relationship with Kaltura for well over 10 years. It's an extraordinary platform and a terrific company, and I must say that I've never been disappointed by their products or their support. That's saying a lot because I'm particular. :-)

As a College, our business is teaching and learning, not media, not media production, not distribution, but Kaltura, through the amazing, deep integrations they offer with several learning platforms, is a worthy, intuitive, powerful platform, well accepted by our faculty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kaltura Video Cloud?

I'm unsure how to respond to this question- my experiences with Kaltura and the platform are overwhelmingly positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kaltura Video for Higher Education Video Needs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Kaltura Video Cloud?

The best thing about Kaltura Video cloud is the ease with which it integrates with the LMS and Zoom. For example, integration within the rich content editor is so seamless. Added benefit is both the faculty and students have the same user experience when using My Media, video editing and embedding their videos into RCE. I call this uniform user experience a benefit because students do not have to look elsewhere for their video assignment needs. IN regards to Zoom, with the integration between our LMS, Zoom and Kaltura, the integration bewteen Kaltura and Canvas is 99% of the time reliable and seamless. When we selected Kaltura, few factors that helps our decision were the ease of use, seamless integration with Canvas LMS, affordable price, number of features, and customer support. Another best feature is the chat option with live customer support member. It saves time and frustration when we have the ability to talk to a live customer support team member to help resolve issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kaltura Video Cloud?

Like any product, of course, there is room for improvement. One of the feature that is missing is the ability to add videos to Modules within Canvas LMS. Some faculty ask for the feature and we have give them a workaround. Another feature that sometimes has some glitches is the analytics and video quiz data, sometimes the data is not accurate.

"Helpful implementation into Brightspace LMS"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Kaltura Video Cloud?

It's a great tool that integrates well into Brightspace seamlessly with single sign on for all users. The implementation team is great and future customer care support is helpful. There is tons of access in the back end to edit video data, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kaltura Video Cloud?

There are often 'access denied' issues that users have to troubleshoot because of the third party cookies. It usually is for the first time a user logs in, and although easy to troubleshoot it can be startling. Also the idea of the Management Console, Mediaspace and LMS framework can be confusing when starting out but after use and explanation, it is comprehendable.

Response from Immanuel Vinikas of Kaltura Video Cloud

Thank you so much for your positive review, Michael. LMS integration and customer support are important to us and we are happy to see that our customers are enjoying a positive experience in that regard. We hope we can keep on benefitting you and your institution for a long time to come.

"Using Kaltura in HE and Support provided"
5/5
What do you like best about Kaltura Video Cloud?

The Kaltura video platform provides an easy and seamless integration with our Moodle environment, we use and incorporate video into various activities on a daily basis to give users an interactive and engaging digital media experience.

The core tools and functionality take accessibility into account, with the captioning option being used on a large scale, the sharing and embedding capabilities also provide staff with various options when it comes to publishing.

The Kaltura Support platform provides a chat service that helps to resolve minor issues quickly without having to raise a ticket, this has been great for solving urgent staff or student issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kaltura Video Cloud?

Some Kaltura videos behave differently across different devices and browsers. The hotspot function that can be used in media does not work properly on the iOS devices, so media creators need to take this into account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Immanuel Vinikas of Kaltura Video Cloud

Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Charles. We loved reading it. High accessibility and seamless integration with existing platforms and processes are very important focus areas for us here at Kaltura. I will pass your comments along to our developers team so they can look into the iOS question. Thanks helping us improve our products and services. Achieving excellence is a community effort!

What do you dislike about Kaltura Video Cloud?

Use of APIs to access or delete is a bit cumbersome. Currently, only Python or Java wrappers can call the APIs. Would love to see if they can be used with simple curl commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
