Vimeo for Small Business Video is a Win in my Book!
Pros
- Quality streaming of video - few if any hiccups.
- Embed options that allow for customization of video.
- Option to limit viewing to just one domain, so users can't share the video link with others who have not paid for the content.
- Easy upload process.
Cons
- I'd like the ability to adjust the sizing of the progress bar for the videos. I recorded my videos with a profile photo that could only display in the lower left corner but when I attempted to add Vimeo's progress bar (showing how much time is left in the video) it covered the profile photo. If I'd kept that progress bar, the result would have looked unprofessional.
- I'd like the "optimization" time after the video is uploaded to be faster. However, I realize this may depend on the speed of my internet connection.
- I'd like more features in the Plus version of the service such as custom branding and lead generation options. This was included in another competitor that I tried before moving to Vimeo.
Most Important Features
- Embed options for videos after recording.
- Playback that's smooth.
- Disabling of the ability of my users to share the video links with others.
Return on Investment
- Positive ROI - the pricing is better than other comparable services with a better end result. So, the return on investment is significant since it is an inexpensive way to deliver what I need to my program users.
- Positive - their 30 day trial period is so helpful to be able to determine if this is truly a good investment for you/your business. I was able to do all that I needed to within the first 30 days for live video, then continue with keeping the embed links with the continuing monthly subscription.
- Positive - good analytics within the account (not Google Analytics with my level of subscription) so I can see how many users are viewing my videos, what devices they're on, and where they are in the world. This is all important for my business.

Huge feature set and great combination of software and cloud platform
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We needed a platform to host and stream videos for our website that was easy to use, customizable, and cost effective. We also wanted a video platform for internal training and communications that was easy for multiple users to access and use. Lastly, we use Vimeo for live-streaming. It offers an unmatchable cohesive live-streaming solution. So the scope of our use is wide and we can solve multiple video needs with one platform.
Pros
- Live-streaming platform with multi stream social media support
- The customizable video player and detailed options for playback
- Cloud based easy trimming and editing tools.
- The Livestream studio software has a ton of features and options
Cons
- The video library management is not well designed
- The Livestream studio software could use feature updates more frequently
- Batch uploading and large file uploading is not reliable
- When replacing a video file the platform does not show progress
Most Important Features
- Livestream Studio software
- Multi streaming to social media sites
- Customizable video players for our website
Return on Investment
- The ROI for livestream events have been great since we can do complicated productions with very small crews
- The charges for video storage and bandwidth are much below market rates

Very advanced feature set - Sometimes too advanced, which might be good depending on who's using it
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Vimeo as a livestream solution to our custom website & app for students to access one-way livestreams inside the classroom. We currently have about 50 students, and 4 teachers. A Vimeo login is provided to each teacher and they can start the livestream on their own without additional technical assistance, which has been helpful - but also we appreciate that Vimeo has an OBS connection for more advanced users.
Pros
- Embed & Livestream permissions
- Download protection
- Advanced livestream & multi-cam options
Cons
- User interface sorely needs more simplicity and accessibility
Return on Investment
- It's been vital to the platform, as, without Vimeo Livestream, there'd be no classroom and thus no product

Usability
Vimeo Live in Higher Education
Pros
- We use the hardware based Broadcaster which makes for very easy set up. It is so easy we can loan the equipment to smaller events that do not require our on site technical assistance.
- Ease of integration and embedding in our Facebook page and website give our followers many options to join the stream.
- Real time statistics on viewership and chat provide up to the minute understanding of our viewers needs and issues should they arise.
Cons
- The editing features are very basic for an archived event, work for us most of the time but can be clunky.
Return on Investment
- As a University we view this as way to include a larger community in our events and ROI is not direct.
- We moved from a pay per event streaming service to a yearly subscription with Vimeo Live and our usage has increased as departments don't have to consider the cost of each event.
