Impressed with their product and their leadership. Great company to work with.
What do you like best about the product?
They provide excellent support and truly believe in their product. I love its detailed analytics, video management, easy to use recorder, and the ability to schedule recordings and even live broadcast. I also love the integration it has with 3rd party companies to caption video content.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike it's captioning editor. It does allow you to import automated captions and fix them but that's the only way it can be effectively used. Writing captions from scratch in their editor is near impossible. We take the podcast video link and bring the video into amara.org. From there we download the .srt file and upload it back into Panopto.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recording live lectures of classes for students to review and study with or if they were unable to attend in person. We also record instructional content and make it available in courses. Students create videos to submit for homework. We live broadcast events to our internal staff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
What was really important to me was managing the content. We wanted instructors to be able to create content and easily put that content into our LMS. Then we wanted to share that course with adjunct instructors with ease. We then also wanted to have work studies caption all of this content. Panopto's video management allowed us to do all of this.
Great features for education
What do you like best about the product?
Authentication options that are integrated with our university's LMS are important to our workflow for instructors to offer video lectures for distance learning. Also, the majority of students prefer the Panopto UI over other department's video hosting options. (Tegrity; Mediasite; etc)
What do you dislike about the product?
Small learning curve for non-video people. It helps to have a one-on-one in person training session with the supplemental support documents Panaopto provides on their website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At CMU, we record and view over 100,000 hours each year. It's important for our instructors and students that their course videos are secure, but also easily accessible for students who are enrolled in the class. The integration with our LMS (Canvas and/or Blackboard) play a vital role in that. Along with high video recording quality, the user interface is easy to understand for the viewer.
Panopto
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can record multiple sessions and make them available as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that when students look at available recording they are not in order of recording. They are dispersed randomly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
N/a
Great for sharing lectures and speeches
What do you like best about the product?
Videos are easy to edit, store, and share with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is easy to accidentally share videos to large groups, which may not be necessary for your task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This allows for student submissions of speeches, and sharing of lectures. The ease of sharing is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check the group in which you're sharing to before submission.
Good for video trainings
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to record and share video lessons that we can share across the district for teacher trainings.
What do you dislike about the product?
The videos some times take long to load but this may be more related to our internet connectivity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows for more people to receive the training without the trainer having to go to so many different locations.
Very user friendly!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how I can listen and look at the slides simultaneously!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I currently dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
That it's much easier for everyone to follow along with the presentation. It's easy to lose someone with just a recording, but the visual helps tremendously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's so helpful and I can't believe a product like this exists!
Helpful, but not for the technically challenged
What do you like best about the product?
Panopto allows us to reach employees who may not be based on our main campus. We primarily use Panopto to livestream and record guest speakers, important meetings, and divisional updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is just part of the technology world - but we did have to invest in quite a bit of equipment to use Panopto in the way we needed to. We purchased a camera, tripod, mixer, speaker, and lots of cords to make everything work. However, it was an investment, and one that only needed to be purchased once. Panopto is also not easy to learn on your own, in my opinion. I do not describe myself as tech-savvy so we had our IT department come and teach us how to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Pantopo allows us to not leave anyone out! No more conference calls and coworkers not being able to see what everyone else is seeing!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't use it in this way, but my institution uses it for classroom use as well. This works well for them.
Basic Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Panopto was relatively easy to use once I had a brief introduction.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seemed that there were not many different options to create a more visually appealing video.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I utilized Panopto to provide online training sessions that were easily accessible to students whenever they wanted to utilize them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest having a basic outline of slides and a script you develop before using the software.
Panopto Medical School
What do you like best about the product?
Panopto allows for multiple screens as well as speeding up the playback.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you go into fullscreen mode, there isn't a scroll bar to get through the video.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very effective tool for uploading lecture content.
Difficult to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to capture lectures so that my students could view asynchronistically.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not care for it, found it too complex.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Taping lectures for students to view asynchronous.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to familiarize yourself before employing it live.
