Atlassian Loom vs. Storylane

Loom is literally the best free (or depending on your team size) tool that I have found in recent years honestly. I have a consulting practice on the side where we work in multiple timezones. Im not the best with words or explaining things over email, and im a much more visual person. being able to show somehow how to do something rather than explain it via email is HUGE. Its literall creating the office culture vibe over video, and its exactly what i need to help scale my consulting while also help provide training at my current job.

Basically if you want to provide a walk-through of a website, then Storylane is well suited. I can't think of a scenario where it is less appropriate unless you are trying to use it for something it isn't intended for. I'm not sure if it will work with a WASM page, so if you are working with WASM, you should at least test that out.

• They have various integrations and apps, so using it on any platform is easy.
• They have an easy recording feature - so we don't need training to use Loom.
• Editing the video once it's made is suer easy on their backend tool - so we don't need to get the video completely right while recording.
• Their folder system makes it easy to organize videos.

• Allows you to easily grab the visual assets to create a walk through.
• The analytics that are integrated give you a very specific view of engagement.
• Even the most complex web pages can be saved in Storylane, definitely a robust engine.

• The video trim feature has improved a lot recently, but it's still not perfect. Sometimes when I trim a video clip, it distorts other parts of the video.
• It would be nice if they had a referral/affiliate program. I would get all my friends to sign up!

• The relationship between "pages" and "steps" can get very confusing if you are having to do a mass revamp of a saved story.
• Some of the interface is less than intuitive than it could be.
• I'm not a fan of mouse over features, I realize it is a modern metaphor, but it's a bad one.

It's dirt easy for the one thing it does exceptionally well. If you think, "hmmm, I should make a quick screen capture of this thing on screen, you can start recording in seconds with almost no additional effort." Once you're done, the recording is automatically uploaded to your account site, and automatically creates a URL you can copy and share with your target audience. From IDEA to EXECUTION to DISTRIBUTION is literally seconds.

Loom is one of my favorite solutions and I've been a raving fan since they first launched. The value of quickly sharing videos in seconds is amazing. Our customers love it so much that they have even downloaded the Loom Chrome extension for their own use with their clients! It's so simple, and nothing else compares or competes.

I use Loom for simple tasks. Never used customer support really. It's so simple to use. I haven't had any real issue with Loom which would require customer support to help me out. So I just put 5 because I don't know if the customer support is good or bad since I never used, so I'm kind of neutral.

We have used zoom, Google Meet or youtube to manage our videos in the past. But both did not seem to be as seamless for everyone to use it. Loom came in to provide an easy way for everyone to use video and share screens or communicate in general. Loom integrates with Slack and that is another cool feature

They are both good products and pretty similar. Navattic definitely had some strong features, but with Storylane, they were incredibly responsive to requests for help and feature requests and it just "looked" better. Storylane also "felt" better in terms of working with it. There were some design flow decisions made with Navattic that I found to be a bit counterintuitive.

• It gives me back 2-3 hours per week in time saved fussing with typing out long emails.
• Our team and vendors understand us faster and better when we offer revisions and training using Looms vs. trying to type it out - causing better client satisfaction.
• We still have to use Snagit, though, until Loom gives us still screenshot edit/markup abilities!

Incentivized

• We were getting thousands of engagements on our Story's.
• We are able to use them as an educational resource when potential clients asked a question.
• The SDR's were able to use them as assets to create interest.
