Comparison at A Glance
Brightcove Overview
Brightcove, a VIDIZMO alternative is mostly designed for external streaming. If you need to stream videos internally, say for training and onboarding, then you would find only limited capabilities.
Moreover, you can’t integrate with video conferencing solutions such as Zoom and MS Teams, which is an important function as managing recorded meetings has become a norm during this pandemic.
According to customer reviews of Brightcove features, they have hard to navigate UI and not as user-friendly as the competitors.
Other reviews cited that the video player was difficult to customize, video scheduling options were limited, and there isn't a feature to download videos for offline viewing.
But this review on G2 is something that most enterprise and business users would relate to.

VIDIZMO is an alternative to Brightcove, which is great for private video content management. It allows your organization to create its own private YouTube. If you're looking for this, then you are at the right place. But if you are looking for public streaming, then you aren't.
However, don't get us wrong, VIDIZMO doesn't restrict you to internal streaming. We are good at allowing you to keep content secure, but if you need to share a video externally, we can do that as well.
VIDIZMO offers a multi-tenant platform with various independent portals for segregating internal and external users, and departmental units or for incorporating functionalities for different use cases. These portals can also have independent storage, management policies, security, and even licensing – all within one consolidated platform.
Your organization can purchase VIDIZMO as SaaS, or deploy it on-premise, or utilize existing Azure blob storage or Amazon S3 storage.
