Pros
It's super simple to operate, the quality is very good and the archiving system is really very practical. I use it to record episodes with my guests and it always works perfectly.
Recordings are flawless, having video options now is great, in over 2 years have only once had an issue with final product.
I found Zencastr when I launched my podcast, it has been the best solution to record my episodes with guests.
Cons
I wrote them that money was missing, and they refused to pay the delta, referring back to "you should have known you already had a trial. But guys - you offered it to me on your website.
I gave them multiple warnings that I will leave Zencastr for a competitor and write this review if my problem is not resolved.
Connections are often lost leaving the host and guests frustrated. The interface is clumsy and requires a lot of clicking around to do simple things.

Zencastr is all you need to start your podcast

Reviewed 2 years ago

I found Zencastr when I launched my podcast, it has been the best solution to record my episodes with guests. Been using it for almost two years and when I needed support (a couple of times) their team replied so quickly. Zencastr recently launched their own hosting, this will make the process of creating ans sharing content even easier.

Pros

Easy to use Inviting guest with a click Internal chat Video recording for free Save your files directly on your cloud

Cons

I wish the platform could work on mobile but I understand this may be a technical challenge.

Zencastr, The future podcast for everyone today!

Reviewed 2 years ago

It's a very likely tool for everyone involved in remote education, podcasting and/lacks of expensive recording gear or technical resources.

Pros

No installation required. It's a very clear workflow for the podcast makers. Multitrack recording of participants.

Cons

Some small computer cameras tend to be seen a little blurry or slow movement. Not possible to change the audio source device once the recording has started.

Be careful! Free trial button immediately led to an entire year of subscription

Reviewed 2 months ago

Good for a long time but then heavily disappointing

Pros

Okay recording platform with some bugs in the past but pretty dtable

Cons

After a year's break, I logged into my account and was shown a one-week trial. I thought, "Oh, okay, that's a nice way to get back into it." The premium subscription was granted as soon as I clicked on the button. There was no mention of any direct payment. Later, I was shocked to find that they had deducted the entire year's worth of subscription from my bank account. I contacted customer support,...

Very poor technical support, decent software

Reviewed 25 days ago

I've used it for a year to create podcasts. It was not my choice. It is the system used by my podcasting platform

Pros

interface is fairly simple to understand once you are recording/

Cons

support is AWFUL. you cannot speak to a person. so if an issue comes up you have to wait for a written response. this takes many hours. by that time you are doing something else, so it can take days to resolve. of course it's complicated to explain tech issues precisely with written messages, so an issue that could be resolved in a 5 minute call can take days or may never be fully resolved.

After signing up for this, you won't need anything else to record your audio or video content

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

What's not to like about Zencastr??? It has a clean and intuitive interface, it makes inviting people to join you for a remote recording as easy as copying, pasting and sharing a link, and it makes sure that none of your recordings get lost thanks to its automated back-up integration with the likes of Google Drive and Dropbox. The automated post production is huge, especially if you wouldn't like to end up down the audio editing rabbit hole, and the soundboard is solid enough to let you do the majority of the editing your podcast content is probably going to need. Being able to add footnotes and comments is a nice plus, and the video recording side of things can really transform Zencastr into the ultimate platform to record your audio and video content remotely.

Cons

I have to be honest, it's really difficult to find something I don't like about Zencastr. I have other of some people having had some small issues depending on the web browser they were using but that hasn't been the case for me. Perhaps, having a mobile app to be able to do even just some of the things (e.g. like managing and sharing files) could be handy
