Are you experiencing slow load times, unpredictable costs, or an overly complex user interface with Kaltura? If so, you're not alone. Many organizations that started with Kaltura now realize it’s not the best solution for their growing video needs. Whether you're an enterprise, an educational institution, or any other organization leveraging video for content delivery, the limitations of Kaltura can hold you back.
In this blog post, we’ll explain why switching to a more scalable, cost-effective, and user-friendly video platform like VIDIZMO could be the solution you need to keep up with your video growth without the headaches.
Kaltura has long been a go-to for video hosting, but its limitations become more apparent as businesses scale. Organizations' challenges with Kaltura can severely impact video performance, user engagement, and operational costs.
As your video library and audience grow, scalability becomes an issue with Kaltura. The platform struggles to deliver seamless video experiences as more users access content, often resulting in slow load times, buffering, and unreliable video delivery. For organizations that rely heavily on video for training, communication, or marketing, this is a serious problem. Slow video loading times and inconsistent performance can frustrate users, lower engagement, and affect the overall impact of your video content.
VIDIZMO, however, is designed for scalability. Built on a cloud-based infrastructure with a global Content Delivery Network (CDN), VIDIZMO can easily accommodate the needs of enterprises, educational institutions, and media companies. Whether you're adding more content, reaching a global audience, or increasing the number of simultaneous viewers, VIDIZMO handles it all without compromising on video quality or performance.

One of the most significant drawbacks of Kaltura is its pricing structure. With Kaltura, you often face unpredictable costs due to its complex pricing model, which charges based on the number of users, storage, and additional features. As your organization grows, so do the costs, and often you'll find yourself paying for features you don’t fully utilize. The hidden costs of storage upgrades, user licenses, and customizations can quickly add up, leaving your organization with an expensive solution that doesn’t provide the value it should.
In contrast, VIDIZMO offers a flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing model that ensures you only pay for the features and storage you need. As your needs evolve, VIDIZMO’s pricing structure scales with you, providing predictable and manageable costs. You can avoid paying for unnecessary features and instead allocate your budget toward confidently growing your video content library.

While Kaltura provides a wide range of features, its interface can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate, especially for new users. Administrators often face a steep learning curve when configuring and managing the platform, while end-users can struggle to find content quickly. This complexity wastes valuable time and can even lead to user disengagement, a critical concern for organizations relying on video for communication or learning.
VIDIZMO, on the other hand, is built with user experience in mind. The platform’s interface is intuitive, streamlined, and easy to navigate, allowing users to find, upload, and share content easily. Admins can manage content, track analytics, and configure settings with minimal effort, and end-users can access videos quickly with a simple, responsive design. Whether you’re a video creator or a viewer, VIDIZMO ensures a smooth experience from start to finish.
