"Best enterprise platform for video management in Higher Education"
What do you like best about Panopto?

- New capabilities are being added, albeit they are addons to an existing Panopto license. These include AI-generated video with Elai, company video portal with Panopto Connect and Panopto Insights. It's a great portfolio of tools to choose from and keep everything under the same platform.

- The Panopto policies to manage archived and stored hours are fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

- The permissions to edit a video are still managed at folder level, meaning you need to add someone as a Creator to be able to edit one video. If the folder also contains other videos, then they get editing access to all videos in the folder not just the one you need them to edit. This creates data management issues.

- Automatic captions still need work.

- Creators cannot delete archived videos without restoring them from the archive first, which takes 48h. Therefore they need a Panopto admin to intervene, which increases admin overhead.

- The interface is still slow. When you have hundreds of folders, the 'Browse' button on the left-hand sidebar takes ages to display the hierarchy.

- Still no ability to separate audio from the primary video for more granular video editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad you’re finding value in our expanding toolset and archive/storage policies.

What do you like best about Panopto?

I find Panopto's browser recorder, remote recorder, and editor extremely useful. The transcriptions are also super beneficial for my needs. I appreciate the technical services team's support during the migration process, making it quick and accurate. The platform provides a great delivery method for video content and a toolkit for professors and instructors to create and edit videos remotely. The feature set fits perfectly with our use case in higher education. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

I would retool or omit the Elai tool. Additionally, the absence of AI summaries in the videos is a drawback. A feature that could generate AI summaries for users would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katie Matirne of Panopto

Thank you for the positive review! We’re happy to hear that Panopto’s recording, editing, and transcription tools are supporting you and your institution's needs. It's also great to hear that our technical services team assisted you through a smooth migration process. We appreciate your feedback on the Elai tool and AI summaries. Input like this helps guide our roadmap as we continue to enhance our tools and features.
