"User-Friendly Platform with Room for SSO Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

I truly appreciate Panopto for its exceptional ease of use, which makes it accessible and straightforward for everyone from faculty to students. Its user-friendly nature is a highlight, allowing seamless navigation and interaction that greatly enhances the user experience. Additionally, Panopto offers comprehensive training and learning materials, which I find incredibly beneficial for both onboarding and continuous learning. These resources help us get the most out of the platform efficiently and effectively. The platform’s modern and clean interface adds to its appeal, presenting a more up-to-date and clutter-free environment. I also appreciate the superior hosting capabilities of Panopto, providing us with ample space and a better hosting situation which significantly improves the ability to store and manage our video content effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

I find the process of SSO creation and migration challenging and somewhat difficult. It doesn't operate smoothly, especially for administrators. I believe there should be a more efficient system for migrating data from an old site to Panopto to make the transition easier. Another aspect I dislike involves the dual login system for admins and creators/viewers, which currently requires toggling between accounts. This could be streamlined to enhance usability. Additionally, as an admin, I face inconvenience because the lack of SSO option forces me to enter my username and password repeatedly instead of utilizing a single sign-on feature. These areas could be significantly improved to enhance the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the detailed review! We’re glad Panopto’s ease of use, clean interface, training resources, and hosting capabilities are helping faculty and students engage more effectively with video. We also appreciate your honest feedback on SSO setup, migration, and admin workflows. Streamlining these experiences is important to us, and your input helps guide ongoing improvements.

"All-in-One Solution with Fast Support and Convenient Online Tools"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

All the in built features like Editor, online reocrder without need to install the program, the Panopto Support is helpful too usually I will get my reply within a day without too much waiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

A lot of the enhanced features are behind a paid wall meaning we need to pay for more for these enhancement, just curious if the features is behind paid wall how would people be able to use or test these new features? Without user testing won't these new features means nothing to user?

Did Panopto like consider granting institutions like a one semester (6 months) worth of such features for free so that institution can invite their educators to use or test these new features, honestly speaking if no one wants to test or use your new features because of the paid wall needed to access it, it's very hard for the education institution to justify paying for it if no user wants to use these enhanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katie Matirne of Panopto

Thanks for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you’re finding value in Panopto’s built-in tools, browser-based recording, and responsive support. We also appreciate your thoughts on access to enhanced features and the importance of being able to try them before committing. That perspective is valuable, and we’ll continue to take it into account as we evolve our offerings.
