"Powerful, Affordable, White-Label Video Hosting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SproutVideo?

If you need a white-label (unbranded) video-hosting solution with useful marketing tools integrated -- Sprout Video fits the bill. It's much more affordable than any of the alternatives, includes player customization, and has been a great solution for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SproutVideo?

Honestly, there isn't much to dislike about Sprout Video. I wish there were integrations with cloud-based storage solutions to bypass the need to upload to multiple locations, but that's more of a feature request than a "dislike." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid platform, excellent features"
4/5
What do you like best about SproutVideo?

Uploading and embedding videos is straightforward, plus the ability to select the still image and include calls to action to appear during the video are excellent features for engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SproutVideo?

For what my business uses it for, the platform is a bit on the expensive side, but for the features we've decided to continue with it because we think the benefit outweighs the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Could thrive without SproutVideo"
5/5
What do you like best about SproutVideo?

SproutVideo provides me with the single platform I need to host my video content! I have complete control and can expand my website marketing efforts on my site as I wish. SproutVideo gives me the confidence to express myself on my platform in ways I never could on YouTube. And I'm in control! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SproutVideo?

I wish the email opt-in on the videos integrated more easily with FluentCRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and great for small businesses!"
5/5
What do you like best about SproutVideo?

I like how easy it is to use, how fast uploading videos take and that I get more insights into how users are interacting with the videos on our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SproutVideo?

I really don't have a lot of things to complain about. I sometimes think it's hard to make edits or changes when I have uploaded a video; sometimes, I have to save it twice to make sure it is really saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

It doesn't have as high of level integration with Hubspot as do some of the other video hosting options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible features, reasonable pricing, good overall experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SproutVideo?

Sproutvideos has a set of flexible features using custom tags that makes it easy to group and package videos and monetize videos in different ways. The features are simple and consistent and performance is good. Pricing is flexible as well and fits nicely for a relatively young business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SproutVideo?

I did come across one specific issue from access control. It is (was) possible to give conflicting permissions in 2 places. While the behaviour was on the safer side i.e. the most restrictive permissions prevailed, a warning when conflicting permissions is detected will be nice to quickly understand the problem and fix it.

"We love SproutVideo"
5/5
What do you like best about SproutVideo?

SproutVideo is very intuitive, which makes it very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SproutVideo?

There are some platforms we use that allow video embeds but only allow for YouTube or Vimeo. We wish that SproutVideo would be an option. Not sure if SproutVideo has much say there though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about SproutVideo?

There really isn't something that I dislike. It comes with so many options and takes my business to a new level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good but not great!"
4/5
What do you like best about SproutVideo?

I think it's easy to use. Despite my lack of training, I found it easy to use and could quickly make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SproutVideo?

I wish it had motion in the poster frame (like Vidyard). Also would like it to integrate with Outlook, so I can post videos into my email (like Vidyard). I also wish it allowed me to upload and share audio files. It would also be great it Sprout allowed me to upload a script for closed captioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sheila Hippert of SproutVideo

We appreciate you for taking the time to share such thorough feedback!

As Head of Product at SproutVideo, it is my goal to ensure we’re really listening to our customers and adding features that will benefit you and your business. I am happy to share that we are currently working on adding some of these features you mentioned.

We'll support animated poster frames and script uploading for closed captioning in the near future. In the meantime, if you have the ability to create GIFs, our Customer Success team can help you with a workaround to support animated poster frames.

Regarding audio files, we do support *.mp3 uploads, and you'll have all the same features available for video uploads, including the option to add a poster frame. If you'd like support for any other audio file type or have other feature requests related to sharing audio, please let us know.

Unfortunately, we do not currently have plans to build an Outlook integration, but we will add this request to our queue. However, we are working to improve our existing email embed options, so if you have any other feedback or specific requests, please contact us at support@sproutvideo.com and our Customer Success team will ensure your requests are added.

"Easy to Use But Powerful Video Hosting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SproutVideo?

One of the best aspects of Sprout Video is the ease of use and ability to add lead generation email capture before videos. We use video as a lead generation tool and being able to have more than just an email field is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SproutVideo?

No strong dislikes since everything is well designed and laid out with the user in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
