### "Not very good"

June 7, 2021

4.0

A good website with a good collection of videos but it does not have the best interface.

Pros

1\. It has some videos which are not there in youtube. 2. Good variety of videos is available on the website.

Cons

The Interface is not very well thought out and sometimes I find it very complicated to surf the site.

### "Another Chance"

August 6, 2021

4.0

The experience has been very good in terms of learning other people culture just from watching the downloaded videos.I have learnt different food recipes and this has been so positive to me(I love baking). I am currently watching downloaded turkish soap dramas and I love them so much.All this in the courtesy of dailymotion.

Pros

Sounds good that as a user I can upload copyrighted content unlike other softwares like you tube where they have restrictions. Since I started using it I have shared lots of videos/movies with my friends and families. Finally, dailymotion will always remain to be good as long as users don't compare it with other platforms unless we forget that no human beings are same and so do softwares.

Cons

The only weakness that fans are not given a room to interact concerning a video watched.Fans need to express their feelings,their views and when they do this,the content creators rectify their mistakes easily. Also,they still have a low number of views compared to other sites like You tube.

The publishing is quick and easy. Possibility of running direct ads is a plus.

1\. Remnant ad rendering is extremely slow. My video view is 1/3rd that of page view of the video stories because the ads take long time to render.2. Analytics should be built robust3. Multi-platform support is not available

### "My Take on DailyMotion"

October 23, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with Dailymotion is very pleasant and nice but I wish there wasn't a crazy amount of ads.

Pros

Dailymotion is something I like to watch on for videos and also to manage videos to playlists. I like where it's to share videos for inspiration and my favorite videos to watch on Dailymotion.

Cons

I wish there wasn't too much ads because every time there's a video or even for midway to the video, it's a lot of ads.

### "Dailymotion is the right partner for Publisher monetization."

November 17, 2022

5.0

Monetization as my primary objective was clearly met by partnering with Dailymotion. Something I would not have been able to do if I partnered with other video serving platforms available in the market today.

Pros

Support teams very dependable, agile and always available.

Cons

We didn't have any integration issues so I must say the product is okay as is at the moment.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Dailymotion

### "An Honest Review"

March 22, 2023

4.0

Pros

Since I am part of a team that integrates the player, I can say that they have an awesome customer support. They reply immediately if you raise any concerns and issues and ensure that it will be resolved right away. They also keep us updated of the new products or features and we collaborate to make things work for the benefit of both parties.

Cons

They need to improve their feasibility study before introducing a new product to their partner, I noticed that we need have to do thorough checking and recommend which will work better instead of them doing that.

Grazie a dailymotion oggi abbiamo un player altamente performante, compatibile con la maggior parte dei sistemi e pronto ad erogare sempre adv.

Molte implementazioni possono farsi sulla gestione del player e del sistema di gestione interno.

### "Great solution but ads can be frustrating"

February 9, 2021

5.0

Pros

Great graphics and video quality. Totally worth the hassle to set this up.

Cons

The constant ads and buffering issues can be a bit annoying. But overall, it is a great solution compared to other video sharing apps. I'm confident it'll grow and scale to the point it is a viable competitor in the industry.

August 24, 2021

4.0

Pros

I love how they add lots of paid shows on here. You can find, Reality TV, Movies and more

Cons

I think the videos could be of much better quality though! They either sometimes freeze or they just don't work at all!

### "Fine, but not as good as the bigger brands"

April 13, 2025

4.0

My overall experience with Dailymotion was average and I ultimately decided not to use it in the end.

Pros

I liked that it is a relatively simple but effective competititor to bigger brands, and has very similar features to those bigger brands, but with far less limitation.

Cons

I do not like that it is not very popular and has an even worse community base and less viewership than the bigger brands.

Alternatives considered

[Vimeo](https://www.capterra.com/p/122348/Vimeo-Pro/)[YouTube](https://www.capterra.com/p/237905/YouTube/)

Reason for choosing Dailymotion

I did not choose Dailymotion over the two products, however they were alternatives that were considered.

### "An invaluable OVP "

January 10, 2023

5.0

As a major news publishers with video at the heart of our content, Dailymotion has been an important partner and the growth of video engagement and montisation has been crucially supported by Dailymotion.

Pros

Dailymotion has a full suite of technologies to provide effective video serving management, and the efficient hosting and publising of video content. The reporting is thorough and responsive to ensure video performance and return can be monitored. The customer and technology support from Dailymotion is also excellent.

Cons

There is not any part of the Dailymotion service that is challenging or problematic, certainly compared to other similar OVP solutions.

Alternatives considered

[JW Player](https://www.capterra.com/p/154911/JW-Player/)

Reason for choosing Dailymotion

There were a lot of key considerations and the technologies available created a challenge to select on OVP partner ahead of another but in the end the cost model of Dailymotion was a significant deciding factor.

### "Congratulations and keep it up! "

March 22, 2023

5.0

It is a good experience and a human accompaniment at the level of the competitors. The support in French is also very important for our company.

Pros

the free hosting model mixed with a number of features consistent with our business

Cons

the analytics part which is not yet up to the level of competitors such as JW Player, to name but one.

Reason for choosing Dailymotion

For the quality of its player, for its experience in the video market. The fact that dailymotion is no longer a startup and is approved. That it is a French company and its revshare model in P2 regarding monetization.

### "Not satisfied"

November 26, 2023

4.0

I am not very impressed with their monetization system.

Pros

It seems easy to use, it's easy to upload videos.

Cons

When you upload a video you can not upload a thumbnail for the video the system uses a thumbnail from the video. The statistics don't seem to be reliable, it doesn't seem to show the right number of video plays, at least for videos embedded on websites. You have to verify your domain before you can monetize videos that you embed on you website.

The Rumble monetization program is not paying very well.

### "Dailymotion: Great work team, keep growing!!"

August 20, 2023

5.0

We had a wonderful experience with dailymotion and it solved many issues like content creation with ease and meaningful inputs at same time. Ease of use is the major distinguishing feature from other competitors. Their customer support is excellent. I highly recommend.

Pros

The best thing i like about dailymotion is the content is customizable and monetisable. Also it offers wide variety of content. The customer support is excellent as well.

Cons

The least i liked is the pricing can be reduced a bit. It would be like an icing on the cake. One more suggestion is some lag during streaming occurs. It can be improved.

### "A good platform for videos"

May 20, 2022

4.0

Dailymotion is a good platform to upload content, it doesn't seem like the best, but it is a good alternative, there is a lot of freedom for creators and that benefits the user who can get more detailed videos.

Pros

Dailymotion is a platform that hosts videos of all kinds from news, vlogs, sports, entertainment, etc., it promotes you to upload videos of all kinds with very few restrictions, so the freedom to the creator is great. The platform is kept very up-to-date because it has a good number of users who help with this work.

Cons

When uploading videos there are not so many tools to edit the experience you want to transmit, it is quite simple in that section. The ads can become very annoying, due to their constancy. The Smart TV version does not work, it is slow and it does not play the content well.

November 14, 2022
