    It combines the best of all three and allows for private labeling. Niche vid also does a really great job in allowing our customer to monetize their video content by video, by month or by annual subscription. The other competitors really don't hold a candle to Niche in its …

    I looked at Wistia. I did not like that there was no way to call them. They answered all my questions via email and several times didn't even answer the question that I asked in the email. I had to write 3 times to try and get an answer 1 question. There was not a payment …

    Wistia and Vimeo simply provide hosting services, not a "channel" where my users can privately consume my content and interact with it as an extension of my website. In essense, I would have to extend my website to provide this functionality and simply place my videos hosted …

    Private Media Channel has better security measures and customization where as Vimeo only has a password functionality. However, Vimeo is well branded, modern, relatable and most importantly, easy to use.

    Lectora, Vidcaster, PlaybackNow, Digital Chalk, & Customer Hub.
    Most of these sites are oriented around education or video, but were limited in the flexibility they offered, tools available, and (though not decisive, due to previous mentioned weaknesses) not price competitive.

    These providers asked for very expensive enterprise plans to provide the privacy level that we needed. Also, the single sign on capabilities that we have yet to implement were a factor in the decision making process.

    I'm not sure what the average user is looking for, but I can imagine a number of scenarios for which the platform offers a very flexible hosting service for a variety of users, with plenty of bells and whistles, for a reasonable costs that can protect content while offering a good interface between the publisher and their viewers.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Niche could add a more comprehensive online tutorial.
    • The Niche Web RTC program is amazing but it would be great if they had an app that would allow mobile devices to also connect even if they dont have chrome
    • It would be great if Niche could add a less comprehensive platform only for healthcare applications

    Immediate response from a knowledgeable rep - not a tier 1 automaton reading a script. I can, and have, reached them at all hours by phone, by chat, or by email. Responses are under 24 hours and frequently less than 1. And stuff gets DONE! I see things I request in almost every monthly release.

    • I believe videos for training will be the way of the future. Once the initial cost of producing the videos is accounted for, other than hosting cost all views of the course will be income.
    • I believe creating short marketing videos will attract new customers.
