CRITICAL

“Market focus too narrow, massive potential but strategy needs work.”

3.0
Apr 17, 2018
The vendor is very driven to the academic market and make limited improvements that would improve the experience we receive for our use case. Support has been patchy with expectations being implicit and not clear. Product "fundamental" features and restrictions, (use on VMs), is also unclear at point of purchase with there appearing to be a lack of reasoning for being there at all. Implementation was relatively easy but wholly driven internally. The product has massive potential but ongoing strategy needs work and communication to their customer base.

Performance of Panopto video content management system (VCMS) Across Market Features

Panopto video content management system (VCMS) Likes & Dislikes

Like

Easy to use even without training, ability to share videos with students without allowing them to download it, amazing ability to integrate with Zoom for meeting recordings, sensible retention policy options.

Like

It works and is quite simple to use.

Like

1) Deep integration with Blackboard and other Learning Management Systems (LMS) 2) API allows custom integration 3) Ability to edit videos and replace videos via an easy to use GUI. 4) Stand alone Windows or Mac applications which provide multiple stream inputs. Users can then choose any one of these captured streams to view.

Dislike

Without having the software downloaded to a computer, some functionality is limited; AI summary tools need improvement and polishing; a mobile app for professors would be very helpful. Better integration with LMS systems would also be beneficial.

Dislike

Target use case is way too narrow.

Dislike

1) Not easy to bulk provision users (via a file upload) 2) Not easy to bulk upload videos to different folders 3) Interface looks a bit dated.
