"Seamless Video Hosting with Comprehensive Analytics"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I genuinely appreciate Wistia for its incredible ease of use; it is so intuitive that I was able to grasp its functionalities without any formal training or courses. I love the analytics feature that lets me understand my viewers, including seeing where they are viewing from and knowing the drop-off rates, all accessible with a few clicks. It's fantastic how I can effortlessly upload videos, add thumbnails, edit scripts, use free transcript generation, and insert call-to-action links quickly. The editing capabilities stand out for accommodating quick edits and enabling smooth video storage and movement, allowing me to organize them efficiently within our marketing department's professional learning section. I really value how seamlessly Wistia integrates with WeVideo, making the upload of MP4 files flawless and saving me time with its overwrite feature for existing videos, ensuring swift updates. Wistia's sharing features make embedding and linking videos to our website, learning community, and emails a breeze, contributing to an overall outstanding experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to host their videos.

"Essential Tool for Video Analysis"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I have been using Wistia for at least 5 years and find its use very beneficial in my work for visualizing my clients' videos. I love how easy it was to set up from the beginning, making it easy for me to get started with the tool. Wistia offers me excellent capability to access and manage the video library of different projects, allowing me to analyze the number of views and providing me with detailed performance metrics. This functionality significantly helps me better understand the performance of each video. Additionally, I appreciate the ease with which I can convert videos to different formats and view performance metrics clearly. Wistia also makes it easy to share videos across different media and platforms, which is crucial in my line of work. I don't need to integrate other tools because Wistia allows me to embed the videos directly on my web pages efficiently. The analytical capability and the structured way of presenting projects by folders are standout aspects that make me want to choose Wistia again. Overall, these features make Wistia a valuable tool for my profession. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Video Hosting with Valuable Privacy Controls"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I love Wistia's really easy-to-understand user interface that made the setup straightforward and efficient right from the beginning. The platform's privacy controls are crucial for us, allowing me to manage who can view our videos and when, ensuring that sensitive content is only accessible to the intended audience. This control is especially valuable for internal training and customer-focused materials. I also appreciate Wistia's detailed analytics which provide insights into viewer engagement and help us refine our marketing strategies. Additionally, the tools for adding captions, chapters, and conducting A/B testing are extremely useful, saving time and increasing accessibility for our videos. Overall, it's a solid experience that I highly recommend to others, and I have already done so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

I find the lack of scheduling options for recurring webinars in Wistia's webinar platform problematic. Since I host the same webinar weekly, the inability to schedule multiple webinars in a row is inconvenient. This limitation forces me to stick with Zoom for scheduling recurring webinars, which is not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from lizzi white of Wistia

Hi Ryan, thank you for your review, we're so glad that you're enjoying Wistia! I'd love to know more about your experience with our webinar feature, Live, a bit more in depth so we can improve on it for you. When you mention you'd like you be able to schedule repeating webinars, could you share a bit more of how you use them and what you'd like the user experience to be?

Are any of these what you mean by that?

1. Being able to create multiple events in one go, instead of having to create an event one by one?

2. Being able to have an event go live on its own once a week?

3. Bring audiences to the same link to watch new content each week?

4. Something else?

{"I appreciate how simple the folder process is, making it easy to archive things.","I enjoy that Wistia allows us to store a massive amount of videos without compromising on quality.","I like that the platform enables everyone to access and download high-quality videos without needing to store them on one person's computer.","I love the social clips feature.","I find the captioning and transcripts helpful.","I find Wistia to be a great tool for our team, allowing us to manage a high volume of videos effectively and utilize each type of video best for each platform we're posting to."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the automated captions in Wistia are not easy to edit, which can be frustrating. I also wish that the social clips were available for all of our videos rather than just the new ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wistia Makes Video Management Easy with Powerful Analytics"
What do you like best about Wistia?

Wistia is super easy to use. All the main buttons you would need are right at the top and so easy to find. The analytics go deep into everything we need to do our job better. We haven't had a chance to use the webinar feature yet, but I've viewed videos on this and it looks super impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

The social clips portion of the video editing feature could have more detail. It's hard to crop right at a certain moment like you would in a real editing software. It's also hard to re-size videos in the social clips editor because if you zoom in, it cuts off the play button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its intuitive editing tools make it effortless to turn webinar recordings and other raw assets into polished, shareable videos. Wistia gives marketing teams exactly what they need: simple tools that make videos more accessible, form gates for lead capture, and seamless integrations with marketing platforms.

You can even round the corners on embedded videos. Ohhh, the rounded corners. 😍

And the best part? It’s so beautifully built. I use it every day with zero hiccups — I’ve never once needed customer support. That’s how good it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless and Fast Video Management"
What do you like best about Wistia?

{"I appreciate Wistia's seamless integration with our CRM, HubSpot, allowing us to gate content and utilize videos for lead generation effortlessly.","I love how Wistia ensures our videos appear cleanly with our chosen brand colors, without any intrusive ads, unlike YouTube embeds.","I find it incredibly fast to upload, organize, and edit videos with Wistia, saving us a significant amount of time.","I admire Wistia's innovative transcription feature, especially its ability to transcribe videos into different languages, which keeps us ahead of the game.","I like Wistia's straightforward and easy setup process, making the initial experience smooth.","I value the fast CDN that Wistia uses for both playing and uploading videos, enhancing the overall efficiency.","I'm impressed with the regular addition of genuinely useful features and the platform’s general ease of use.","I appreciate the great customer service provided by Wistia, which adds to the overall positive experience."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

Not many things dislike but I find the integration process with other software not always as straightforward as I would like. It requires some experimenting to figure out the best way to integrate features like webinars on Wistia, which could be improved with easier steps and possibly live help during the setup.

"I wouldn't want to work marketing at a company that doesn't have it"
What do you like best about Wistia?

I honestly would require it in any marketing organization I'm a part of. It's crucial to the digital marketing function in this day and age. There are no other video platforms that are this easy to use for our job. I appreciate the updates that come regularly to make it an even better product - you can tell the company is there actively trying to help its customers. I may not log in every day but those videos are up on the website, we upload weekly demo videos, and it is constantly running, bringing in views and active engagement of our audiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wistia?

I can't say there are many downsides. While the features that get rolled out don't apply to my job 100% of the time, it is always nice to see them coming and see the product sticking up with the times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
