Both philosophically and technically, the team at Brightcove has anticipated our needs and has already thought through many of the pain points we experienced and felt with video content management and livestreaming. For example, their content management system solved almost all our internal content management problems right out of the box. I am excited to have a partner of this caliber to work with on a regular basis. This really does shine in their support process as well. Their support team is the most knowledgable team with the products they work with I have ever seen.
In some ways, Brightcove retains a sea of features that are designated by a variety of names. While understanding their use cases is simple, the organizational thought between the individual products and features seems idiosyncratic at times.
Content management, app management, and centralization of video strategy.
We have been using Brightcove as our sole video hosting and delivery solution for 5 years, and overall it accomplishes everything we set out to do when implementing a new solutions partner.
Implementing the platform to our website was simple and very customizable and is now controllable through the Brightcove software and our in-house CMS. We use the software to host product videos on our site as well as all of our internal training and communications. Through the use of Brightcove's gallery system, we were able to create multiple dedicated websites to serve different functions. Our customer-facing video library was easy to build and houses all our outward-facing videos, and an internal video library was easily secured behind our single sign-on and has been a massive improvement for our intercompany communications.
Brightcove also brings several innovative technical features that have helped us improve our video program. Video interactivity, robust reporting that was easily connected to Google Analytics, and a keyword tagging system that allowed us to create automated playlists have all been stand out features for our team.
Their customer representatives and account managers have also been very responsive when helping with any technical problems and always helped find solutions quickly.
I highly recommend partnering with Brightcove if you are looking for a solution that brings innovation, excellent customer service, and attention.
There is not much that I do not like about the platform overall. I do think that the navigation and folder structure can sometimes be a bit cumbersome, especially as you begin to add hundreds or thousands of video files to the system. It is a manageable problem through the use of the keyword tagging system and the creation of custom folders. I would recommend starting to plan a storage and keyword structure for your files very early in the process before it becomes too overwhelming.
Brightcove has helped our company to efficiently manage a growing library of video files that are used for many purposes and have come from many places. It gives us a singular solution to manage our entire video program that easily connects to our other software and programs we use for the web. Plus, it's a solution that worked right out of the box and saved our developers massive amounts of work hours versus building an in-house solution.
Whether working with sales, our account manager, or support, we receive excellent service. The platform is constantly being developed, and new tools/services added.
Honestly, there is nothing that I would complain about. When there is an issue of any kind the support team work really quickly to identify the issue and provide solutions.
Brightcove allows us to have one single platform to upload and manage our content across multiple sites/channels. The Gallery functionality and auto caption tools are fantastic.
Organizing on the platform is top notch. Nothing ever gets lost.
Maybe needs a slicker design. Looks a little outdated.

PROS: Been a long time user of Brightcove, and it has never failed me in delivering good results. I appreciate all the help that the support team could provide me whenever I give them a call.
CONS: None that I can think of. It’s a good product if you want to enhance your content and promote your brand to the public. Ideal for aspiring content creators and marketing specialists.
PROS: Using Brightcove in our day to day work means a lot to us. It serves as a multipurpose tool that helps us convey meaningful messages/content to our audience. We will always be thankful and forever grateful to all the people behind Brightcove. They never failed to show us all the support and the help that we needed, especially while still struggling to make it in the industry.
CONS: The program's user interface would need some revamp to make it more presentable user-friendly, especially to those new to the program. It's good to know that Brightcove is open to making changes one step at a time to give all of us a better user experience.
PROS: I am no longer scared of editing and uploading videos in my own spare time. I can always give CS a call if something goes wrong in the middle of the process. Also, I like working with Brightcove because they never cease to impress their customers by finding ways to innovate their product features, making it one of the market's top choices.
CONS: It needs more studies on how it can improve its analytics and KPS’s. There are still times when we still struggle to find ways to share our videos on more prominent platforms with more significant viewership.
PROS: This product can provide you all things that you may need to create, edit, upload, and stream unlimited videos all over the Internet. It comes with basic analytics, so you know which platforms have the most views and engagements.
CONS: I hope that they could dig deeper into analytics by providing uploaders /account holders a more detailed report of what goes on behind the videos they have uploaded. The ability to have these reports custom-built would be much appreciated.

I love the wordpress player, we use videos for customer testimonials and it makes it super easy to add these to our website. Creating galleries makes everything look very clean and organizes our videos in a seamless way.
There's not much we don't like about Brightcove!
Simple way to share customer videos with others through email, etc. We also use the brightcove video player on our wordpress site for seamless video play.
