Head of Distribution Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/19/2025 "A Rapid, Stable and Cost-Effective Platform for Managing Apps and OTTs for a TV Show" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Zype? I value the Zype platform's ease of use and rapid response when updating our company's app and OTT offerings. Zype's services are also offered to our company at a great price. After I learned the interface, I am able to rapidly update our TV show's assets and these reflect in near-real time. It's also been a stable platform in that I don't recall any downtime or outage with the apps/OTTs. I have also appreciated that my questions were answered within a reasonable timeframe when I had to contact Support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zype? The only issue we've had is the connection/syncing between the Zype publishing platform and our Vimeo Pro account which holds our original media assets and which feeds into our Zype library. On a few occasions, uploads to our Vimeo Pro account were not automatically ingested into our Zype library, so I had to request a 'manual sync' from the Zype support team, which would always be done within one business day maximum. On a very minor note, sometimes the published Zype assets only show up in our live apps a few hours after submission, but usually they show up in under 30 minutes, it's a rapid platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zype solving and how is that benefiting you? We need apps and OTT platforms to distribute our TV show on, and Zype allows us to publish our content to the main ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Head of 9Now Programming & Operations Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/14/2025 "Zype: Exceptional Support and Powerful All-in-One FAST Channel Management" 5/5 What do you like best about Zype? The standout feature of Zype is their genuinely customer-centric approach. The support team is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and feels like a true partner invested in our success, not just a vendor. Beyond the fantastic people, the platform itself is powerful, easy to use and comprehensive. Having a robust, all-in-one solution for our FAST channel management, from playout to distribution, has been a significant upside. It simplifies complex workflows and has proven to be incredibly reliable. We were able to seamlessly integrate Zype into our internal systems and workflows, which made the daily use of the platform effortless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zype? It's genuinely difficult to pinpoint any major downsides. The only initial thought was the potential challenge of the time zone difference, but Zype's support model has made that a complete non-issue for our team. If I were to offer a small piece of constructive feedback, it would be that some of the platform's more advanced functionalities can have a bit of a learning curve, but this is easily offset by their thorough documentation and the support team's readiness to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zype solving and how is that benefiting you? Zype has been the critical solution for our entry and expansion into the FAST channel market. It provides the foundational, end-to-end infrastructure for our entire suite of internal channels, solving the immense challenge of building a reliable playout and distribution ecosystem from scratch. The primary benefit for Nine is having a scalable, robust platform that empowers us to compete effectively. Furthermore, Zype acts as a true partner; their willingness to listen to feedback and build requested features has been invaluable and sets them apart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OH Othniel H. 10/20/2025 "Reliable Video Streaming with Custom Ad Features" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Zype? Zype was already in place at my company, when I started, so there was no setup process on my part. What stands out most is the ability to stream our video content effectively and to have mobile applications for our TV station business. We find the ad trafficking customization incredibly valuable because it allows us to tailor our advertising strategies to suit our needs precisely. Additionally, I like that Zype is compatible with many platforms and offers flexibility, such as the ability to gate streams if necessary, which is crucial for controlling content access and ensuring optimal performance across varied devices. Mostly, I am impressed by Zype's customer service, which has been crucial in problem-solving and enhancing our overall experience with the platform. The ease of customization and the ability to serve ads in a custom way significantly enhance the advantages of using Zype. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zype? I need to indicate when something being embedded is audio-only, which requires a toggle. I'd prefer if the system could identify this automatically and handle it accordingly without requiring manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zype solving and how is that benefiting you? I find the product solves streaming challenges, allowing us to stream video content and offer mobile apps for TV stations, with ad trafficking customization and compatibility across platforms.

Manager of VOD & Content Delivery Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/17/2025 "User-Friendly Platform with Excellent Support" 5/5 What do you like best about Zype? Zype offers an exceptionally user-friendly dashboard and comprehensive services for managing our video content across various partner platforms. We have consistently experienced outstanding customer service, and the development features provided have met and often exceeded our expectations. The combination of intuitive functionality and responsive support has greatly enhanced our ability to deliver high-quality video experiences to our audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zype? Recently, we have encountered several challenges related to platform updates and the functionality of our content carousels. While we have received feedback indicating that these issues are being addressed, we have not consistently achieved successful resolutions.

They have an organized content management system and they handle both video and audio assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zype? We need to store assets and identifiers for both our system and for Zype. This leads to opportunities for confusion and identifiers getting out of sync. Equally, if there are issues, there are multiple places where we have to look to resolve them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zype solving and how is that benefiting you? When we started using Zype, we though video assets and the ability to stream them across different platforms was going to be a major issue for us, this has not turned out to be the case, we only use YouTube and our own app for video content. We equally thought we'd leverage Zype's ability to insert ads, but this has not turned out to be the case. This is not a reflection of Zype, it is a reflection of our business and the larger environment not going in the direction we thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how all of our digital storage and distribution can be held and managed in one place. All our team has to do is add content to the CMS, and any digital distribution platform that we've set up through Zype automatically updates. Apps Creator helped us expand our digital distribution years ahead of building each streaming app individually. I also appreciate the customer service and hands-on training and development from Zype. We often ask questions that lead to new features. Our Zype team is eager to find ways to meet our particular use-case. And the ever-expanding suite of products and features from Zype keeps us pushing forward with improved features for our viewers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zype? Some of the newer features have had significant bugs in their first few months. While this can be frustrating, the Zype team is always quick to respond and troubleshoot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zype solving and how is that benefiting you? Zype provides our primary CMS for video storage and management, OTT and CTV distribution, live stream generation and distribution (SRT to HLS), controlled AVOD and live ad-insertion, closed captioning, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Content Operations Coordinator Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/17/2025 "A Strong, User-Friendly Platform with Great Support. Excited for Continued Improvements." 4/5 What do you like best about Zype? There are a few key things that stand out to me since I began working with the Zype product. First is the user interface, it's user-friendly, making it easy to build and refine different sections of our app. Second is the excellent communication between our team and Zype’s support staff. Whenever we encounter an issue or propose new feature ideas, they are consistently responsive, attentive, and receptive to our feedback and suggestions for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zype? One of the main challenges we’ve faced is managing our expectations around new features, whether ones we’ve requested or those Zype has reveled themselves. While we’re always excited about these updates, the time it takes for them to fully come to fruition has occasionally left us in holding patterns for extended periods.

I love being able to use one website to stream my content on multiple platforms. The support staff is great and very prompt. The "internal title" feature is invaluable for staying organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zype? The analytics page is not very intuitive. It also can be frustrating that admin.zype.com is separate from the Apps Creator, rather than integrated; I have to go back and forth between them. I wish that I could see at a glance, in the "sections" on Apps Creator, whether a video/playlist was active or inactive, without having to click into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zype? Zype is built on a great platform and is expanding into new areas and services.
