James, why do you write that same comment about Delve on every website that references Brightcove? Gee, it’s almost like you’re working for Delve and being sneaky like Microsoft…

James is Alex Castro, the egotistical CEO of Delve. Delve’s product is definitely subpar. They have a week analytics engine and 1st generation advertising capabilities when the other distribution platforms are leagues ahead. Sure, their UI may be cool, but no video publisher is going to really get their own viewers to fully understand the value in using search inside of a video.

EveryZing’s is better than Delve’s anyways. Not only can it searh, it can create transcripts and play videos from multiple backends including YouTube and Brightcove.

I used Brightcove at my last job. Their UI for embarrassing and painful. These screenshots are a big improvement, but for my money Delve Networks (what I use now - http://www.delvenetworks.com) still has the best UI and overall platform out there.
If you are evaluating video platforms you need ask the following questions:
Why was Delve able build a better product with 20 people in one year with $6m in venture capital, when Brightcove has not updated their product in 2 years and have raised $91m and have ~180 people?
Who do you want to bet on? Brightcove seems arrogant and bloated like Microsoft, and Delve seems smart, nimble, and fast like Google.
