I was strictly the implementor of Livefyre (for my company only). That task alone was at least 3 weeks worth of work. From a user standpoint, Livefyre is a good product which is why this review is strictly about how difficult it was to implement. Therefore, if a colleague was to ask me if I recommend Livefyre, it's not a straight answer. Questions like, 'how fast do you need it?', 'how centralized is your user database?', 'do you want social login?', all come into question and were details that made my job not easy (hence, my review of 5/10 for suggesting it to others). Once implemented, Livefyre is a great product (notice my overall review is higher), but based on my experience with implementation, it certainly requires a senior developer's dedicated time and patience to set up exactly as desired. For smaller companies with small/simple user bases and websites, the process may be more straightforward, but from my experience, it wasn't out-of-the-box at all.
It's great for taking long-form content and clipping it out to short form content and then distributing it to social platforms. It's not great as a long-form captioning and editing platform. If your goal is to create shorter-form content and get it distributed to most major platforms, this will be a great time-saver
It's pretty flexible. There were only a few things we found that were too specific to our environment and could not be easily done.
The out-of-the-box GUI design was decent. It was also configurable with limited custom CSS, anticipating the need for each company to customize the look and feel to suit their own needs.
Basic interface is good, providing the necessary data points like total comment count. Visual effects are good too, with fade-in effects for new comments.
They also provide back-end APIs to gather information about the "hottest" threads. We used this to construct our own "Hot Topics" section that could link users to the related article so they could comment themselves.
Good support, even after implementation. They were always available by phone and even through realtime IM chats direct to their developers, skipping awkward non-technical middlemen.
There is an opportunity to integrate some workflows. For example, you can't add captions, b-roll, and music to long-form content AND then clip them. Those are two separate workflows.
It would be good if the distribution and scheduling were broader. Right now you can post to LinkedIn, TitTok, Facebook, and YouTube. A wider range of platform posting integrations would be useful.
The AI B-roll and stock-footage B-roll is a bit wonky. It will need better contextual matching to be bulletproof.
We are planning to continue using Livefyre comments on several of our blog properties due to its simplicity, transparency and speed of operation. We are actively researching it's more advanced features for some other platforms that need higher end results. Keep up the good work Livefyre.
Easy to use and pretty turnkey. Prompting engine on the B-roll is pretty solid. Would be better if the lower-end versions had the ability to store more brand templates. Overall a very solid platform and a game-changer for smaller marketing and sales teams that want to push-button their content marketing efforts
I've used Descript to create clips but that process was manual. OpusClip took a manual process and automated it significantly. Each clip used to take me around 15-20 minutes to create (captions, branding, music, b-roll, etc). With OpusClip, I've taken that down to 5 minutes per clip or less. Massive time savings.
