"Easy to Use, Excellent Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

I like how easy to use Panopto is. We integrate with Canvas and most users don't even realize it's a different product. Support is also very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

Sometimes it can be difficult to unwind exactly how to share videos. This often is the result of users not understanding the process and sending links instead of embedding videos. It's a user error, but something that we can to untangle periodically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katie Matirne of Panopto
Edit edit

Thank you for the great review! We're thrilled that Panopto is easy to use and that our Canvas integration is so seamless. We also appreciate you highlighting our support team, uptime, and auto-captioning features.

We understand your feedback on the video sharing process and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We have many resources that can help clarify this for your users, and we'd be happy to share our training materials to help.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback, which helps us make Panopto even better.

"Multifaceted solution for Learning and Engagement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

The upsides for Panopto is the non destructive editing. Almost seemless ability to capture from multiple sources. Bringing interactivity to what could be just a run of he mill talking head. Inclusion of AI. Customer support is pretty good, they have gotten back to me when I needed help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

I think here could be a few improvements to remote recorder. I think the platform should be device agnotic sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review. We're thrilled that you find value in our *non-destructive editing*, *multi-source capture*, and *AI features*, and we're glad our support team has been helpful.

Your feedback on the *remote recorder* and making the platform more *device agnostic* is incredibly valuable. We're actively working to improve the stability and UI of the remote recorder to ensure a more consistent experience, and your suggestions are guiding those efforts.

"Panopto - a great way to create and share videos in higher ed"
5/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

Panopto is such an easy, user-friendly tool that integrates smoothly into our LMS (both, since we recently transitions from Moodle to Canvas). I especially like how we can have it feed directly into the courses, the automatic transcription feature, and the fact that the video is searchable. On the back end, as an instructor, being able to see the statistics of who watched, when, and for how long is extremely valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

It's not quite as easy to use for live streaming classes or webinars. I definitely believe that it is a superior video tool, but for live streaming, it pairs perfectly with Zoom, which is not a great lecture capture tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katie Matirne of Panopto
Edit edit

Thank you for the detailed G2 review! We're thrilled that your transition from Moodle to Canvas was seamless and that you find our integrations, automatic transcription, and back-end statistics so valuable.

We appreciate your feedback on live streaming. We see Panopto as the ideal destination for recorded content, and we're continually working to improve our live streaming functionality.

Thank you again for choosing Panopto for your classes and faculty training.

"All around excellent service"
4/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

Panopto is user freindly, easy to administer, and offers reliable service. Beyond initial setup, it just works with little to no additional effort - you can forcus on adding to your user base instead of stamping out weird integration issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

The cost/benefit is at times an issue - recruiting a large enough user base to justify a relatively expesive product is difficulat and requires work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katie Matirne of Panopto
Edit edit

Thank you for the great review! We're thrilled that Panopto is so user-friendly and easy to administer, and that our reliability lets you focus on your user base. Hearing that the platform "just works" is a huge compliment.

"Panopto; Simply an Industry Leader In Its Class"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

Panopto spearheads the platform type. I like the integration capabilities with other services such as SSO & Zoom and its ability to work independently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

It could use a better User Interface (UI) enhacement. Sometimes, UI takes the back seat as features take precedence. This is OK, but its due for some UI updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katie Matirne of Panopto
Edit edit

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you feel Panopto "spearheads the platform type" and that our SSO and Zoom integrations are working so well for you.

I like Panopto's ease of use. It is easy to record videos using their video recording application. Integration into our LMS was easy and works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Copying a course in the LMS doesn't automatically add video sharing permissions, so the sharing permissions have to be adjusted separatey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
