Pros

“Eventually, we had to set up our own servers for stream encoding and switched to another provider for passthrough.”
KS

Kelly S.

CTO

“Easy to use with good overall ideas. If the encoders worked properly and they had more CDNs—especially for better distribution in South America—it could grow into a great service.”

CTO

“Using it as a "set it and forget it" platform for live streaming our church services has provided a cost effective solution that helped us navigate the COVID days, and continues to provide a convienence to our church members.”
CM

Corey M.

Technology and AV Director

Pros

“It's a great video hosting platform with brilliant analytics and lead capturing features that help marketers like me to get clear and in depth data.”
KS

Karandeep S.

Marketing Manager

“Makes it easy for tracking data when sending webinars and other video content over email marketing or simply hosting it on landing pages.”
KS

Karandeep S.

Marketing Manager

“The ability to see where your videos are embedded is super helpful too as well as the video analytics to see how your content is performing.”
JR

Joshua R.

Digital Strategy Manager

Cons

“They have a auto renew membership with no consent policy before they charge. And there is no way for a customer to cancel it even on the same day you get charged.”
NY

Nayeon Y.

Visual Artist

“I would strongly caution others to be careful with their subscription terms and monitor billing closely.”
KS

Kelly S.

CTO

“It doesn't feel like a professional service.”

Cons

“The options for webinar sign ups also don't allow full customization of fields to align with our HubSpot fields.”
JR

Joshua R.

Digital Strategy Manager

“We only had a little issue with embed videos last week. Despite that problem I could name any reason, that speaks against wistia”
MG

Markus G.

CEO

“To an individual user, Wistia can be a little expensive.”
