StoryXpress

Avantages

I purchased a Lifetime deal off AppSumo for $60 [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and can't recommend it enough. It's got the majority of the same features as Loom and they are developing a bunch of new features. The few functions that ClapBoard doesn't have are in development and will be extended to all AppSumo users.

Inconvénients

I've experienced some minor (non-critical) glitches. But it's been fantastic otherwise. Really looking forward to the video editing functionality which I think is a big piece that's missing from ClapBoard... but it's on its way.

Avantages

I really needed a "Loom-like" software which allows me to create video recordings. The problem with Loom is that when I send links to my subscribers, they don't necessarily know what "loom.com" is & they sometimes down click the link to watch the video.
StoryXpress solves that issue by allowing us to add Cname for all shareable links.
This is by far my favorite feature & the reason I subscribed.

Inconvénients

Nothing that I hated, but the Video uploading/rendering speed could (and should) be faster (my internet is pretty fast & reliable - based out of USA).
The upload speed of StoryXpress compared to Loom is probably 2 times slower.
It could get annoying when you record a video & just want to quickly shoot it out to your subscriber to watch right away.

Avantages

The chrome extension (when it works) is quick and the the uploads are fast.

Inconvénients

It was advertised with features (no branding/blurring etc.) that don't exist and it is often quite buggy. The customer care team have acknowledged both inconsistencies without doing anything about it. Hard to trust.

Avantages

I have tried many screen/video recording software and StoryExpress has been the easiest to implement for the team. If you are looking to get your team on board and implementing fast this is the way to go. It is very intuitive and robust to meet all of your needs.

Inconvénients

I haven't found a Con - I literally choose this software after using many others.

Avantages

Very easy to use, better limits than alternatives, so it's more economical.
Use it nearly every day - clients love having things explained in a video walkthrough rather than getting lost in translation via an email.
The team use it to explain problems and can get a better answer.

Inconvénients

Only one thing I don't like (and I haven't searched for a fix or asked support, so it might just be me) but it does't save my login so I have to re-login every day.

Avantages

Purchased it on Appsumo as a lifetime deal

- fast speed of uploading video
- nice functionality of branding etc
- CTA and passworf functionality

Inconvénients

- support was very slow
- somethimes video is not uploading
- I had hard time to add new videos to existent Folders

Pourquoi passer à StoryXpress

Avantages

I like that it is easy to use and an all-in-one solution. I wanted to do something simple (or that I thought was simple), like recording myself on the webcam, creating simple video tutorials, and sharing them on my site with a customized browser. So I tried different ways to do, but without success. First with the webcam software (did not work), later with open source solutions (were too complicated and buggy) so StoryXpress allowed to easily do the task, plus the hosting.

Inconvénients

The downside of having a complete range of options and being new, it is that somethings are still under development. For example I know that they are developing a desktop applications (that will be useful for example to share recordings of powerpoint presentations), and also 1040 px quality (that will be better for selling the videos if they go for paid courses).

Avantages

Super easy to start recording, and just as easy to share my videos where ever I want.
Watch notifications and analytics show me exactly where I lost people, or if my videos were ignored.

Branded video embed pages are a nice touch.

Inconvénients

It's only happened a couple of times when the app crashes during a recording, or the output audio/video are out of sync.

Avantages

I have been using the clapboard solution by the StoryXpress team and its a great platform for sharing video content in sales, marketing and education scenarios. The interface is amazing and the list of features in endless. The support team is top class and have answered all my queries in a timely manner.

Inconvénients

There is not a lot not to like about the platform. I look forward to their continued development.

Avantages

1. User Friendly
2. Integration with Slack
3. Seamless, yet robust!
4. Metrics and customization help to create tailored videos

Inconvénients

An offline video recording feature can be added. I am sure that the team must be working on that, and a good product will become a great product.

Avantages

Setting up StoryXpress (Clapboard) was really simple - I just followed the instructions to download the Chrome extension and it took less than 10 minutes to get started on my first video. The software is really intuitive - you can either record your face, record the screen, record your face and screen at the same time, or make the video out of a mixture of those options.

The videos are available almost immediately in the dashboard, and it's super easy to either download them or send the link to clients to view. You can also add CTAs and other features fairly easily, but I haven't had any need to use those features so far.

Inconvénients

It would be great to be able to blur out details in the video. Perhaps this is already a feature, but I haven't been able to find it

Avantages

I use this to quickly make tutorials for my contractors. It has made my life so much EASIER! I can go back and reference those videos multiple times instead of explaining things over and over. I can also put a CTA button at the end in case they still don't understand and need to book a meeting with me.

Inconvénients

I don't know of any - everything has worked great and they continue to improve features.

Avantages

StoryXpress helps us document processes, create custom marketing & sales videos and streamline our operations. It's been an incredible addition to our tech stack.

Inconvénients

The only limitation I can think of is the limited number of embeds, but apart from that there's nothing not to like.

Avantages

Easy to record screen, zoom meetings, etc.

Inconvénients

Very hard to find videos if you record a lot and don't host them or save them externally.
There aren't folders, they removed tags (this did exist).
So you either have to put them into playlists or download and upload to another source.

Avantages

I really enjoy Story Xpress as my goto Loom alternative, it is really simple to use and I like that i can see all my recorded videos in a simple to view dashboard.

Inconvénients

sometimes the chrome extension does not record the video (small hiccups ) does not happen often but it has happened. a few times

Pourquoi passer à StoryXpress

Avantages

Very easy to record and store. The best part is I can allow three team members to use the software in their desktop. So it is worth it. Every penny is worth it.

Customer support is excellent. They respond immediately which is most important. They give me proper timeline if the glitch needs time to be fulfilled.

Inconvénients

One negative aspect is I can't edit the video in the platform itself. But it seems the team is working on this feature . Editing is very much essential.

Inconvénients

Functionality issues with VPNs, stability uploading video, some other lack of features

Avantages

This software saves me so much time! Rather than back and forth mails, skype meetings, and frustrating hours spent trying to convey meaning, this tool helps me get across my point effortlessly.

Inconvénients

I have yet to find a problem, but it's a little vague how many videos I can record and/or store.

Avantages

Really easy to use and with some extra features that Loom doesn't have.

Inconvénients

No desktop app, so you can't do videos of non website apps/tools.

Avantages

I like the usability of the chrome extension, simple to set up and quick link creation to share the video. I also appreciate that the viewer page is customizable.

Inconvénients

Lack of features to edit the video like adding some text, images, or having frames to play further with the display of the screen share and the webcam video.

Avantages

Being a software company, we often have to test our new releases prior launching them. It is very easy to record the screen and comment in order to send the information that needs to be modified to the programmers.

Inconvénients

To be honest, not much. Overall, very satisfied with it.

Avantages

This program is easy to use. It is a affordable quick way to start doing your online video content now.

Inconvénients

Lately when I try to clip a video it completely deletes it

Avantages

Really enjoyed the chrome plug-in. Helped with creating videos for clients.

Inconvénients

In the short time I have been using it, no cons yet!!

Avantages

I have been using it for about 2 weeks. I have saved some important files for my onlije learning.

Inconvénients

I found it difficult to use because some of its features are vague to follow.
