“Essential for video hosting”

Pros

It is an excellent video hosting platform with fantastic analytics and lead capture tools that provide marketers like me with clear, detailed insights. I also like how it seamlessly integrates with Marketo.

Cons

The pricing could be improved. As I am not sure if small businesses can afford this tool. And while it is feature-rich I feel like it would be great if more features were available under the free trial.

“perfect for business video and engagement”

Pros

The webinar tool in Wistia offers a fresh, modern way to host webinars and capture leads unlike many other tools that feel outdated. Plus the feature that lets us see where our videos are embedded is incredibly helpful as well as the video analytics to track how your content is performing.

Cons

Migrating content from channel pages to the regular library can be tricky because they use a different URL structure. Also the webinar sign-up options do not allow full customization of fields to match our HubSpot fields.
