I have come to know about this site 5 years ago when I was asked to promote one my client's video on Vimeo.com, as a part of social media promotion.
I liked the site interface very much, and it looked sophisticated and trendy in design too. When I went to upload the video, the speed was OK. But, it took longer time while processing the video. Later, while extensively working on Vimeo, I experienced video crashing so many times. so not expected from personal or professional perspective!
It is not at par with youtube in terms of video streaming too. They do not accept videos related to gaming which is major concern!
It does not show your video on HD by default, I also faced trouble while uploading and processing an hour long video, so not recommended for long duration video.
The website is offering 500 MB upload per month for a free uses and if you upgrade to PRO you can upload 5GB per month.
If you are using Wi Fi, it will not perform satisfactorily.
Then, again I am not fully against it, posted videos often get appreciation and encouragement. If you are armature and new in this area, and like to post your family video, Vimeo is a better option then Youtube.
They have to improve technically to be at par with Youtube.
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
