Looks better than it is.

We use Sproutvideo as a private platform to display our marketing video content, however upon realizing the issues with mobile wordpress display we attempted to delete account. Only to enter into this odd cancelation trial.

Functionality

Pros:

Easy to set up, and it has clean presentation. Not difficult to get up and running with the interface that sprout provides. Pretty well straight forward with video uploads and a few code snippets to share your videos.

Cons:

The display is not as simple as it appears. Of course the embed, share, etc. code/url will generate quite easily for sharing. The problem comes when you realize that many wordpress sites will not display on mobile without digging into the source code of your site, not for a beginner. Then the absolute worst is when you attempt to cancel subscription. You can easily assume you have completed the process....which seems like a 10 minute lecture & quiz; only to be hit with your payment the following month. Turns out the very last question in what seems like a marathon must be completed.

Reasons for switching to SproutVideo

We switched from youtube in an effort to gain control over our video. Our clients do not like the ability of social media platforms to censure content.

Vendor Response

Hi Tad, We are so sorry to hear of your content display issues with Wordpress. As it so happens, you encountered a bug with Safari, which is unrelated to our platform and unfortunately out of our control. We did provide workaround solutions in our support correspondence and also reported the bug to Safari. We refunded your most recent bill in light of the difficulty you encountered when closing your account. We also reviewed the cancellation process to make sure it's as straightforward as possible. We welcome any further feedback about our platform. Thanks!

Great Platform!

I do not use all the features. I create online courses and I use Sprout to host any video components. I embed the video link into the course and it is transparent to the course taker that they have left my site. I appreciate how easy it is to do that and that the videos show full-screen.

Pros:

Simple and straightforward to use. I can embed videos in a course and and they are integral to the rest of the material.

Cons:

Sometimes it seems to take a bit longer to process a video once uploaded. Not a big deal considering I am not uploading very many videos at a time.

Reasons for switching to SproutVideo

I was having difficulty getting my videos to show full-screen and their product support did not even understand what I was trying to do.

Safe Private video sharing

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

My videos are fully protected with advanced streaming and security technologies, making them impossible to download using conventional tools—even Internet Download Manager (IDM). By leveraging encrypted streaming protocols like HLS with AES-128 encryption, tokenized URLs, and server-side authentication, each playback session is unique and time-limited. Even if someone tries to capture the stream, the video content is fragmented, encrypted, and tied to specific user sessions. As a result, IDM and similar downloaders cannot detect or intercept the video source. This ensures that my content remains safe, secure, and accessible only through authorized platforms

Cons:

Sharing my private videos is completely secure, thanks to robust privacy controls and advanced encryption methods. Each video is accessible only by authorized viewers, using tokenized links and protected streaming, so there's no risk of unauthorized downloads or sharing. Whether it's personal content, educational material, or premium tutorials, I ensure it remains confidential and tamper-proof. Additionally, the pricing is fair and transparent—providing real value without hidden fees. Viewers can watch with confidence, knowing their access is legitimate and respectful of the creator’s efforts. It's a safe, private, and affordable way to share exclusive video content.

Smooth, Reliable Video Hosting

Overall, my experience has been very positive. It’s a great platform for hosting and sharing videos securely, especially for marketing and training content. A few small feature updates like timed previews would make it even better.

Pros:

The platform is easy to use, reliable, and cleanly designed. Uploading, organizing, and embedding videos is simple, and the analytics are helpful for tracking engagement. I also like how professional the video player looks and how smoothly it runs.

Cons:

I wish there were an option to let viewers preview a short portion of a video (like the first 30 seconds) before being asked for their email address. Right now, you have to gate the entire video, which can reduce conversions.
