And if you want details on usage / viewing stats Wistia is also top notch. We use Wistia for our company videos and also for client work for eLearning projects. It is easy to segregate videos by project so organizing videos is easy. And videos always look great on our website. The viewing stats are also excellent. We know which videos get watched the most but also when during videos people stop watching and what viewer engagement is. This is helping for us deciding how to improve our videos. > > **Cons**: Wistia videos don't share well on social channels. I would not pick Wistia if your main goal is to share on social...use YouTube for that. > > All of our company videos are stored and organized on Wistia and embedded on our website. This includes webinar recordings. Biggest benefit for us is a branded video experience on our website without distractions of other brand logos on the video player. I would give Wistia a higher rating if videos shared better on social channels. ----- ### "Love Wistia" — 5.0/5 > **Ashley** | *May 3, 2018* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using Wistia for years and bring it with me to every company I join. It's one of my favourite marketing tools. The cost is amazing for the features and compared to other video hosting companies the cost can't be beat. I love how they keep the platform simple and easy to use. They continually push out new features to make the platform better. Oh the videos they produce themselves are awesome and helpful\! > > **Cons**: None - once you try it out you will be hooked to\! I have never needed to use the customer support team so I am not sure how good or bad they are. > > Saves money and time\! ----- ### "I have used this program to edit videos and add calls to action for marketing purposes." — 3.0/5 > **Shelley** | *April 27, 2018* > > **Pros**: I really like the ease of use with this program, it is very easy to get started. I like that it is free to use with limitations, but not too many. so that you can still utilize the important functionality. > > **Cons**: I don't like that you can only create three videos with the free version, other than that it is hard to think of much else that I dislike about it. ----- ### "Great video delivery software - if you want to upgrade from YouTube you can't go wrong." — 5.0/5 > **Cameron** | *July 9, 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great software that integrates well into our website, currently hosted in HubSpot. It's code is simple and easy to swap in and out to add a nice lightbox feature on our site. Player is reliable and hardly ever has issues. We post all our company videos to Wistia and it integrates well with forms/turnstiles. > > **Cons**: System is simpler and I wish that there were more features when integrating - like more info on turnstile forms. I wish that it was a little nicer on the layouts of the video pages themselves, but that's being nit-picky. Good software for video delivery. > > Quick and easy way for our videographer to share videos on our team and for us marketers to put it up on the website. Wistia is a good growing company and always improving. ----- ### "Finally\! A great alternative to YouTube and Vimeo for Videos" — 5.0/5 > **Dustin** | *October 1, 2015* | Information Technology & Services > > **Pros**: Stats, stats and more stats\! Able to have a Turnstile (to request a viewer's contact info) Can create a Call to Action Easy to Embed in a Website Affordable Lots of areas to customize > > **Cons**: Cannot really think of any cons. It would be great if it were more seamlessly integrated into GetDrip. Another thing that I see with my ScreenFlow (screen capture software for Mac), is that I can click "Publish To" and send the rendered video directly to YouTube and Vimeo. It'd save me time if I could also publish directly to Wistia. > > The nice thing about Wistia is that it allows you to track which of your videos are actually seen, which parts of viewed (or skipped, or rewatched), and by whom (or at least by which IP locations). The statistical part means that you can use this tracking to make better videos that have a higher engagement or a better conversion ratio. Another great thing that I like, which I do not get with the Vimeo Pro account, and which is also not possible on YouTube, is the ability to have a turnstile embedded within the video. This allows you to collect somebody's contact info partway through the video to watch the rest. You can also embed nice looking calls-to-action within the video itself, which is helpful for doing any sort of Marketing Automation. All in all, it's a great service, especially for small business owners. The cost is affordable, and the value you gain is quite high. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91511/wistia?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91511/wistia) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
