Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a yoga studio owner who quickly adapted to teaching online, Cincopa played a role in transforming LYFE Yoga into a virtual space with the guidance of their tech expert, Wade Thiessen.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I manage hundreds of websites. Every now and then I have a client who has some very specific needs for the website. Specifically requests for specialty photo galleries and file storing. I have found Cincopa to be a super easy tool to manage dozens of galleries for dozens of different clients with one login. Additionally, Cincopa provides simple iFrame embed code to easily add to ANY website.

Pros

Connects to Zapier
Great customer support
Massive photo gallery templates to choose from

Cons

The majority of the time I get immediate response when I have a question, but sometimes it can be a couple hour delay.

Likelihood to Recommend

When you or a client has specialty photo gallery needs and you want a VERY easy way to create, manage, and publish galleries on any website.

January 2, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cincopa to host a video on one of our apartment property websites. This is being used by the marketing department. This service makes it so easy to add a video to our website, and the variety of player templates to choose from is a really nice touch! You can customize the player to add brand colors, logos, etc. Exactly what I was looking for!

Pros

Customization: you can choose from a variety of player templates and change a lot of backend things like automatic playing, sizing, colors, etc.
Cincopa is really easy to use, and you don't have to know much about video hosting or adding them to your website to get how it works.
The customer service team is really responsive and contacts you as soon as you sign up to find out what your business goals are and how they can help.

Cons

I can't think of any areas of improvement that I would recommend.
I think the service is easy to use.
I haven't had any issues with video hosting so far!

Likelihood to Recommend

Cincopa is perfect to host videos ad free on your website or to share anywhere online. You can also use it for photo galleries, slideshows, music players, podcasts, plugins, etc.!

A Teacher/Researcher's Use of Cincopa for the Dissemination of Video Data

Rating: 10 out of 10

December 24, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am an Associate Professor of English for Academic Purposes and I do cognitive linguistics research on the way students make meaning while brainstorming for essays, complete sentences, and write summaries and responses. This is all formal research covered by Federal Guidelines and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) that approves or disapproves research. I have been using Cincopa to post these videos from papers on discourse analysis and the study of the way students make meaning. We have also begun work with math word problems. I show these videos to students and at conferences to study ways to improve metacognition (i.e., thinking about one's own thinking). The entire goal is to improve students success with reading, writing, and critical thinking. I have not yet explored more options for using all the features, as I have the technical side very simple.

Pros

Cincopa is a seamless way to upload videos and post them anywhere
The quality of the different skins is outstanding.
The time to upload is superb.

Cons

I don't have any ideas for improvement because I am doing very simple work with this wonderful tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great for sharing conference power points and videos for academic papers. I don't know where it would be less appropriate.

Cincopa for image hosting

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

December 22, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Cincopa to host images on my website. There are small images which customers then click on. They expand and they are able to choose a suitable design.

It allows me to easily edit and change the images my customers can view. I paint personalized watercolors, so they need to be able to see lots of different options.

Pros

Easy to set up and change galleries
Simple and clear images on my website
Mobile friendly

Cons

I would like to be able to change the gallery background to white or transparent
It would be nice to be able to keep the settings for any new galleries without having to manually do it.
It's a shame the old package is no longer available. The Plus package is more than I can afford

Likelihood to Recommend

Good for creating a Pinterest style gallery of images where you have a lot of images you want to display. The small images, when clicked on, expand to a much larger slideshow image.

Also good for putting in a video. You can choose the dimensions and size. When clicked, the video will play. I have only used this feature a little bit.

Cincopa Brings Quick, Easy Gallery Options to Any Platform

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

December 21, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My marketing agency was hired to build a catalogue site for an audio equipment dealer. Over the course of discovery, we settled on using BigCommerce as a platform. One issue we didn't realize was the difference between page designs on the website and product pages versus the internal blog pages. We decided to utilize Cincopa to offer a gallery on content (blog) articles that would allow for a quick solution that worked better than writing custom software or intricate CSS files to facilitate multiple images in BigCommerce blog pages. As much of our client's website relies on multiple high-quality images, we needed a solution that loaded quickly, looked great, and was easy to embed or integrate. We found that in Cincopa.

Pros

Set-Up: Setting up the galleries is mostly a drag-and-drop process that makes it easy for laymen (or interns) to easily format and put together, without a lot of coding knowledge or experience.
Integration: With multiple options for integration, Cincopa allows you to control how the calls are made. Since it is a script-based import with its own container, it actually makes it easy to drop into nearly any webpage with little to no additional fussing.
Options: Cincopa offers a great deal of gallery templates that can be used for images, videos, playlists, etc. The templates offer unique presentations and functions, and each template gives you additional control over the appearance of each gallery.

Cons

In my experience, the drag-and-drop functionality when re-ordering a gallery has a tendency to break. This is either a complicated lock-up (something to do with the visualization) or being treated as text and only highlighting instead of moving.
Many of the tool tips (?) don't explain the option well, often just repeating the available option. This isn't a major factor as some of the option effects can be figured out through trial and error, but it was something that I noticed during my first set-up.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would say that Cincopa is a first-stop for any dev project without an internal gallery option. This is especially true if the person in charge of content or building the galleries is not a coder. Cincopa makes designing a good looking gallery and inserting it into nearly any webpage a pretty simple process, so it is a great starting place. There may be other options that would fit a different development project better (internal gallery functions or a full-scale DAM with importable galleries), but for our purposes Cincopa was (and is) a perfect fit.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cincopa as photo galleries on my personal resume and other blogs and entertainment online outlets I freelance for.

Pros

Ability to choose different formats
Ability to categorize content
Seamless installation
Easy to upload
Easy formatting

Cons

Have a better warning for users who went over the upload allowance for their specific plan

Likelihood to Recommend

Anyone who has a website or blog can use Cincopa! It's easy to use and super user-friendly. The free plan even works for some depending on how much content you want to upload. I love that it is free as well unlike some of their competitors. All around great product.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am using Cincopa to manage large photograph slideshow decks across multiple website pages. It is a terrific tool that allows for beautifully customizable slideshows. Cincopa has a variety of templates to choose from that do well to match the style an format of any web page. Each template gives a different user experience as well, providing different levels of interactivity to best suit web designers. I think it is a great tool and I will continue to use it to build other slideshow-based components on the Girl Scouts of Western Washington's website.

Pros

Customized slideshow templates
Easy HTML embedding for any CMS
Multiple integrations with Wordpress, Moodle, and social media platforms.
Reliable image hosting and display without sacrificing an ounce of quality

Cons

Making users aware of the amazing video tutorials and other educational resources that they have available.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cincopa is well suited for embedding a variety of visual elements into virtually any CMS. This is a great alternative to multiple WordPress plugins or hard-coding components yourself.

Cincopa video hosting is exactly what we needed!

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

November 18, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, we use Cincopa for video hosting for our clients. When we develop a webinar or other short video, we host the video on Cincopa and add HubSpot forms over top for lead generation. Cincopa is an easy way to create a better user experience with video sharing. It is completely designed for the user so we don't lose potential leads in the process. HubSpot has recently added video features to their integration list, but it doesn't compare to what Cincopa currently offers (and the price is right!).

Pros

HubSpot Integration - This is done really well. So easy and doesn't require much work from us, the administrator. The sync is seamless.
Reporting - The dashboards are really easy to read and provide insight into total number of views (daily, weekly and monthly) and total traffic to the video. Then with HubSpot, we can actually track the conversion metrics.
Setup and Implementation - Cincopa is really easy to set up. From uploading the video, to design elements, to embedding the video back on your website, it's all very simple.

Cons

I honestly don't think I have anything I really dislike at this point. It does exactly what I need it to do.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cincopa works great for any video recording, specifically sales videos and evergreen webinars. With both of these, we can add CTAs or we don't have to and either way, we'll get good reporting on who's engaging with the content.
