One of My BEST Software purchases in 2022

Hippel video is an outstanding video marketing platform and I highly recommend anyone who has considered any other product to take a second look at this product. Unfortunately, customer services have fallen to the wayside and I am sure a lot of people who are reading this review can agree. It was very wholesome and pleasant to see that this company still maintained that old-fashioned way of taking care of the customer until they are satisfied and making sure that the product met the customer's expectations. I highly recommend the Hippo Video!
Pros
It just works! Prior to Hippo Video, I had another tool that 'allegedly' served the same purpose and it NEVER worked! I will admit there were some initial hiccups with onboarding; however, I am still in awe of how above and beyond the customer service team went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied. There is a time zone difference between our countries. When I'm at the hospital for consecutive days, I, unfortunately, miss many emails and attempts at correspondence. This didn't stop the Hippo Technician who literally left a message with my office when he was not successful in reaching me by phone. I have never experienced customer service like that before. Very patient, very professional, high quality and just - I'm out of adjectives....it's just an outstanding product and team!
Cons
I have absolutely no complaints about the software.

There is a good experience to use Hippo Video and make screen recordings easily and share it without so many steps, as some other software required. Also, this software has a very good price to buy the program and the assistance is very watchful of the users' needs.
Pros
Hippo Video has a good variety of functionalities to make screen recordings and marketing videos across email platforms and others. Also, its price is very good for the features of this software.
Cons
Some functions on integration with other software are not very good. Hippo Video has some trouble with the extension for web browsers.

Tech support was responsive via chat. I didn't have to wait long for a technician who helped me troubleshoot my problem. The interface isn't clear in some cases, but once you learn where to find the functions, the software works well.
I've been watching the video email space for a while, waiting for a product that would do more than just record and send videos. Hippo Video, with its landing pages, teleprompter, and variable text offers functionality I think I will use and have not seen in competing products.
Pros
Recording a video is easy, but what convinced me to try Hippo Video were the landing pages. I have not yet fully exploited this capability but intend to construct custom landing pages designed to get customers and prospects to take action. The ability to add more videos and documents to the landing page provides the opportunity to highlight aspects of my services that would be otherwise communicated through email attachments or clicking on links, which some people are hesitant to do.
I have recorded from the camera alone to make personalized one-off messages to selected customers, with good results. They watched the videos and responded to set up meetings. I also made a video with screen recording. That worked OK and I liked being able to show material as I was talking about it. I plan to do more of this.
Cons
I was disappointed that I Hippo Video could not interface with my desktop version of Outlook 365, but I bought the software anyway. After making a video, the software supplies a link and an animated GIF that I can easily paste into an outbound Outlook email message. It's an extra step, but was not a deal-breaker for me.
I struggled with the screen capture interface at first. It wasn't clear that Hippo started another instance of the browser. I kept looking for something to be happening on my screen, never realizing Hippo was waiting for me to respond on the second browser screen. Once I figured that out, the process went smoothly.

It's a very good tool. I would recommend it to anybody who need a quick and easy way to make videos and store them online.
Pros
I love the fact that it integrates with Zoom. I can record my classes and have them hosted in my account. It's a powerful video tool. I love the video player. I especially love the Teleprompter option. The video tutorials are a very thoughtful touch.
Cons
I am a teacher, I wish the features for teachers were included in my plan.

A great tool to send videos to prospects and scale the outreach without compromising the quality.
Pros
Personalization at scale is made easy with Hippo, a few simple clicks and you can fill video snippets to change a premade video.
Cons
Editing functions are not super fast, and the "pro edit" feature takes a while to load.
This is not a blocker, but it does limit the number of contacts a salesperson can hiper-personalize the contact per day.

The feature to personalize videos easily separates Hippo from the contenders.- Industry: Financial Services

My company started using this during COVID. We were not traveling to see customers, so this provided the next-best alternative. It assisted with prospecting for new business but also a way to provide a special message to new customers.
Pros
I work in sales, and it's great to have an alternative to the same boring email. With Hippo Video, I can provide something compelling to open and watch. It also provides a special way to communicate to new customers, to personally thank them for their business and tell them about next steps.
Cons
It takes a lot of clicks to attach an email.

Pros
I like the way I can brand the pages to look really sharp and switch out page elements easily without having to create something new on my website.
Cons
I was using the Brave browser (Chrome-based) and it will not work on that. It was annoying to have to switch browsers since all my work was in the other browser.

Hippo Video remains in my extensions for spontaneous clip grabbing I know will turn out well. However, I outgrew it for most uses within weeks of my first use.
Pros
Hippo video is a friendly, simple way to record your screen. Videos are downloadable in various levels of resolution and formats, with direct sharing to many social media platforms.
Cons
Slow processing times, limited editing, and no publishing resources make this best for beginners as even moderately seasoned video creators will find themselves funneling their Hippo videos directly into other video software to give them needed polish.

Overall, hippo video has a lot of potential. I hope they get more customers so they can develop and continue their product.
Pros
What I liked the most about Hippo video is that you never have to install the software on your desktop and all you need is a web browser like Chrome to screen record and edit videos. The integrations and the video testimonials from Customers are just a BONUS!
Cons
Maybe the least like about the software are their notifications which shows INVALID LINKS (no links at all) whenever a customer sends a testimonial. Also the landing page for our video page is not that pleasing / not much customization.

Hippo Video is video platform that has two unique features that other video platforms do not have. That make it a lovable platform.
The first the functional sales page. And then the Video Sandwich. The video emails are great for sales and also keeps the sale professionals in touch with their customers.
This is a very good platform.
Pros
I like the fact that I can edit my videos. The templates give such good ideas for sale pages. I can easily record my videos.
Cons
The product development roadmap is not that long as I expected it to be.

Best service I have ever bought

Pros
It's easy to use and it made my Imagination explode.
Lead Generation with Hippo is absolutely fun!
Plus, being a Digital Nomad it helps me working remotely.
In a couple of seconds I can capture tons of lead by just using its marketing tools.
Cons
Nothing.
I honestly find it perfect.
Maybe some more effects and editing options would be great, but since I can just import video made with other programs so it's really no big deal.

Reviewed on 2019/03/12
Pros
1.- light interface that works without any problem.
2.- Easy to use environment, with just a few clicks you can create your own videos, whether personal, anecdotal, instructive or of the type that you want.
3.- You can create your videos either by recording or from images, you just have to choose what is most suited to you.
4.- words and phrases can be added without difficulty to the different videos.
5.- Share your videos in different social networks.
6.- It has flitros and incorporated effects, so you can give a more professional (and funny if you want) to your videos.
Cons
I have used hippovideo only a few times, but so far everything has worked very well. Maybe at the beginning it cost a bit of this to create videos, but with a few hours of use you can now make your videos without major problems.
