Hippo Video is a ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified provider. They host customer data in a segmented Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. They use TLS 1.2 encryption for data both in transit and at rest.

Vimeo secures application endpoints with encryption and requires authentication for session keys.

Public keys are authenticated before use and TLS 1.2 is the minimum standard for all external servers and applications.

And Vimeo has protocols in place to protect all Vimeo user data from creation to deletion:

• Data in Transit: User data, including videos, is encrypted during transmission using protocols equivalent to TLS 1.2 or AES 256 encryption.
• ‍Data at Rest: Vimeo ensures the encryption of non-video data and, whenever possible, video data at rest, while securely storing encryption keys with restricted access.

Hippo Video offers four pricing plans:

• Free: Free forever; includes 50 videos/month, a 30-minute recording length, and 10 minutes of closed captions.
• Pro: $30/user/month or $20/user/month billed annually; includes unlimited video recordings, a one-hour recording limit, and 30 minutes of closed captions.
• Teams: $60/user/month or $75/user/month billed annually; includes a two-hour recording limit, 200 minutes of closed captions, and 50 personalized videos.‍
• Enterprise: $80/user/month billed annually; includes a minimum of 10 seats, a three-hour recording limit, unlimited captions, and role-based access controls.

Vimeo offers four pricing plans:

• Free: One user, up to 3 videos, create and edit videos, screen recorder, and sharing and embedding.‍
• Starter: $12/user/month (billed monthly) or $20/user/month (billed annually), up to 60 videos, privacy settings, customized URLs, and automatic captioning‍

Hippo Video offers a user-friendly way to create and share professional-looking sales and marketing videos. Its AI features, brand customization, CTAs, and analytics make this a great option for companies looking to connect with customers. It’s also well-suited for other use cases like education (E.g., teachers, coaches, etc.).

The website offers users a wealth of educational resources to learn more about the app — including how-to articles, a Q&A forum, videos, and more.

Another handy feature for making work easier is the customizable hotkeys for performing actions while recording (E.g., start/stop, pause/resume, and mouse emphasis).

That said, a few additional features (like meeting recording, AI summaries, screenshots, and transcription) would expand the tool's functionality and improve internal communication for businesses.

Vimeo’s Google Chrome extension makes it easy to record videos right from your browser. They also have a blog, help center, guide, and a community forum to help users get started. 

On top of that, Vimeo also offers many keyboard shortcuts that make it easy to start and stop video and screen recordings without using your mouse. 

In summary, Vimeo supports high-quality, ad-free video hosting with customizable players and robust privacy settings. But the platform's advanced plans can be pricey, plus it lacks essential features like an automated meeting recorder and screenshotting functionality.

Hippo Video offers a seven-day free trial for its Pro and Teams plans. You can also contact sales to request a custom demo.
