Our video service runs on SproutVideo

PROS

As the creator and architect of ConveYour.com, I wanted a video platform that I could tightly integrate with groups SMS messaging system. Other platforms seemed too distracted on trying to be a consumer product vs a platform for businesses. Sprout's simple API, great video player with great javascript support, great video playback performance, and strong security options is why we went all in with them.

CONS

I would like for them to support the tus.io upload protocol to make big video uploads on mobile devices much more dependable. Also, if they could do watch-once to encode functionality for faster viewing of a video after upload or even a guaranteed thumbnail instantly after upload, that would really help us.

Sproutvideo is a great solution for startups and large groups alike for ease or use.

Great from start to finish, great customer service, great pricing structures and loads of options to make t feel like your own in-house solution.

PROS

Content sharing and easy customization of system allows us to match our other online products

CONS

Nothing comes to mind, but maybe a monthly report could be sent to show usage results? (might be in there though not using.)

Reason for choosing SproutVideo

Cost and easy of setup. Plus the sales dept was very helpful to explain their feature sets when we were trying to decide which group to choose. You were not just a number to them

Reasons for switching to SproutVideo

Too many hurdles for YouTube plus ads,etc. that made it unusable for our training videos.

Vendor Response

Hello Charles, Thanks for the review! We appreciate your feedback. Also, I have added your request for a monthly automated usage report to our Feature Request list. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

Gave it a shot

overall experience was fine, no issues to report just decided to stick with current program.

PROS

It works for the purpose. I tried once at recommendation of a colleague. Was easy enough to use and didn't encounter any issues

CONS

I didn't feel it offered anything that similar, more popular tools do. Although I did not encounter any issues I found it easier to utilize a program that others are more familiar with.

Fantastic for Video Hosting

PROS

Sprout Video is exactly what I needed for my small business. I host a tiktok but wanted a second site where I can upload videos for my Patreon-subscribers in advance. I was looking for a video-hosting site that was inexpensive and easy to use. Uploads are quick and easy, editing video permissions is easy, and sharing videos is super easy too. The password feature is great.

CONS

No complaints. The site is everything I needed and more.

Reason for choosing SproutVideo

My provocative videos wouldn't violate the terms of service.

Sprout is awesome - been using it for 10 years or so

It's been a worry-free experience, and the pricing was great as well

Can't say I have any complaints - it's never given me any trouble - really can't think of anything I'd want improved, sorry.

Wish I had used this a year ago!

It's been great. I used it a few years ago for a non profit that I was Exec. Dir. of. It worked great then and still works great.

PROS

Other video hosting sources tell you that user data is not available. Sprout makes it available at a reasonable cost. It is important for my training to be able to provide who watched a video and for what length of time.

CONS

Seems like sometimes the options that are selected do not work on the first try. I have to reselect them and save them again. No big deal though.

Reason for choosing SproutVideo

Better and more affordable.

Reasons for switching to SproutVideo

Sprout would track views by participant and was much more affordable.

Dead simple but effective

It was really quick to get set up and it has since worked consistently without constant management on our side.

PROS

The simplest tool I have found for getting video onto our site unencumbered by logos, ads or other cruft.

CONS

Nothing bad to say - it does the job we need it to do without any fuss.

Reasons for switching to SproutVideo

Vimeo became very expensive as a product and obsessed with trying to extract more money from us as a company.

SproutVideo won me over

I am completely satisfied with SproutVideo. I wish more SaaS providers would be like this.

PROS

I needed an ability to block video downloads and this was the key feature that first attracted me to SproutVideo. I gave it a trial and was super impressed. It was very intuitive and easy to use right from the start, and the follow-up and support have been fantastic, although we didn't need much. The price is very competitive and the flexibility is great compared to lesser programs.

CONS

There is nothing that I needed that SproutVideo didn't provide

Reason for choosing SproutVideo

Price and functionality. The privacy and security functions met out requirements

Reasons for switching to SproutVideo

Great service for the money

Great, they respect my rights, and I don't have to worry about a woke mob forcing me to suddenly download and relocate all of my video files simply because they are owned by WEF/WHO/NWO edicts.

PROS

Ease of implementation. Having been kicked off of Vimeo for daring to use my God given rights of freedom of speech, and having been a customer of theirs for over a decade I was suddenly removed. SproutVideo has never dared censor me for having opinions opposed to the mainstream.

CONS

Interface could use a little aesthetic contrast. Looks good but would be nice to have a light/dark mode to help with viewing the tools.

Reason for choosing SproutVideo

Sprout was affordable, provided all the same features for the most part and their design aesthetic made it easy to get up to speed and deploy my media again.

Reasons for switching to SproutVideo

Vimeo with no warning booted me from their platform for videos that were never even seen, you just simply are not allowed to question the commandments of big pharma even if they are literally forcing people to kill themselves with their vaccines.

Once you activate a paid plan, you'll only have access to the features included with that plan. We'll never mandate that you change plans.

SproutVideo meets the mark

Super easy delivery of videos to our clients. We upload the video. We email gate it so we know the client has viewed the video. The analytics tell us which parts of the video the client has watched more than one time. We can check the download analytics to see if the client downloaded it. Great software!

PROS

We create hand drawn videos for the safety, training and educational sector, worldwide. We use SproutVideo so clients can review their draft video and then download the final video. Super easy, super fast. But best of all is SproutVideo's customer service, it's #1!

CONS

Previously you couldn't group videos in folders, only with tags. We submitted a feature request, not sure who else did, and last year SproutVideo released folders! So I have to say this software is the best!

Great for Training Videos

We are a state agency that uses this software to house and monitor views of recorded legal trainings for replay. Whenever I have had questions or concerns about our account, we have received a prompt response from the company and our issues are always quickly resolved. They are also very helpful in answering questions.

PROS

It is very easy to track and monitor views of each video. The analytics provided are very helpful and include information such as viewer engagement, location of views, device types, domains used, etc. I also really like that you can set up profiles for viewers and give them limited access to certain videos. You can even control if they are able to download the video.

CONS

The only draw back is the 10 GB max file size for video uploads. We have a few videos that run upwards of 6 hours long. I just break them into 2 videos (part I and II) to get around the max file size so it's not a huge deal.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for your review! We wanted to let you know that we recently increased the file limit on uploads to 100 GB per video file for uploads through our web app. Hopefully that makes your workflow a lot simpler.

Helpful for conducting my online courses

PROS

1. High speed upload especially when there is something in upload and you tried again with same file, it resume from percentage that ended up with before the problem occurring. 2. Controls for access view and manage access for your students is extremely helpful. 3. You can let students access to videos from a website of sproutvideo with your company logo.

CONS

It is not cons but it is a suggestion from me as a long time user, I would prefer that you make videos more secured from screen capture programs, also I would suggest that you made a section for upload materials like pdf or quizzes with more secured from copy

When Youtube & Vimeo just won't do

PROS

We use Sprout for a variety of internal and external video sharing needs. We use other services that provide some of the features Sprout offers, but none combine all of them in one package. Perhaps the most valuable features are those around playlist creation and customization.

CONS

My one complaint about Sprout is that sometimes playback caching is slow, causing the player to pause during playback.

Video Platform for creatives

I run a video production business. This eliminated the ridiculous scrutiny/ads/social aspect of YouTube/Vimeo and gave our clients a professional way to present their videos. The videos are easily shareable, easy to play on any platform (unlike Vimeo), and look great too.

PROS

Sprout is the perfect balance of video hosting, statistics, and presentation. It presents a value for not only your own biz but also your clients.

CONS

The one critique is I wish each video could have their own ‘website’ instead of the same for every. This would allow me to switch the logo from mine to a clients when appropriate.

Everything you need.

Maximizing our brand and connecting with users to share high quality content with relative ease of use.

PROS

There's a lot of great things here with Sprout Video. I needed a site where I could store multiple videos and share with a select group of people that varies on a weekly basis. The problem I ran into with other services was that I couldn't control access and limit things like number of views, sharing the link and downloads. Sprout Video on the other hand fully captures my business needs and allows me to maximize our brand with complete control over our content. The analytics behind every view is second to none as well!

CONS

A bit of a higher price tag comes with the subscription, but so far definitely seems to be worth it.
