Likelihood to Recommend
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.

In my industry, there really isn't a time that I feel would be inappropriate to use the tool. I feel it's most useful to an audience that you haven't connected with yet, however. I think your content is what can get you into trouble. A friend of mine was blocked from a decent amount of prospects after sending a video promoting a happy hour.

Pros
  • 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 UI is really easy to use, especially for new users looking to get up to speed fast
  • On the paid version, I really like being able to download the videos
  • For onboarding new people and explaining processes, I like the playlist feature

Cons
  • 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 would be great if there could be a manager view so we don't have to give them admin privileges to see their team's vidyard videos.
  • It would be great to be able to see who viewed the video if multiple people are on the email.
  • It would be great if we could make the videos dynamic so that it would insert a person's first name or SL booking based off dynamic fields in SL.

It has been an integral part of both our employees and customers experience. I would highly recommend VidYard to anyone looking for new ways to make their support interactions more personable and efficient. Not only that, but is a huge value add for existing customers of the HubSpot product as well.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Vidyard does what it is supposed to do, but it takes regular use and adoption to really get any benefit. It is much more beneficial as a 1:1 personal sales video tool than in mass marketing email blast campaigns. The analytics are insightful and the tool has some cool ways to make videos more interactive and branded.

Performance
No answers on this topic
It performs very well. I have never had any bugs while recording, and none of the videos have been impaired or corrupted. I don't believe it integrates with any other software but you could contact the company to learn more. I am not sure if it is only available on Chrome.

It's pretty straightforward. The bulk of the work goes on outside of Vidyard - it's the time required to add different videos to your website - that was probably the only difficult part and had nothing to do with Vidyard.

Alternatives Considered
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.

Vidyard seems to be the easiest to use especially for our sales teams. Our Customer Advocate and Implementation Teams do use CloudApp. It seems similar, but less applicable for sales. Vidyard has awesome Salesforce and HubSpot integrations!
