You have to redo your recordings 10000000x times due to issues with the system or glitches. I literally was so patient with them but I'm so done with this software. Literally run away and go find another company that makes real products. ----- ### "Riverside Makes Podcasting Easy" — 4.0/5 > **Kelly** | *April 4, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have made so many upgrades since I started using it 2 years ago. It's easy to record and editing has gotten a lot easier. > > **Cons**: It's still very glitchy. We I'm editing the buffering sometimes drives me mad. i don't know if it's them or my wifi connection. And when I used the VideoDub to edit a word in a Magic Clip it also changed the word not just in that clip but in the longer episode and I didn't like the way it sounds. Couldn't change it back. > > Overall I guess the pros out weigh the cons. It's not perfect but I would say it's a good experience. I like that they are always adding new things. ----- ### "A Solid Tool for High-Quality Podcast and Interview Production" — 5.0/5 > **Dwayne** | *April 11, 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Riverside is the overall recording quality and reliability. The platform captures local audio and video directly on each participant’s device, which results in much cleaner, studio-level output compared to traditional web-based recording tools. I also appreciate how easy it is to bring guests on—sending a simple link makes remote interviews seamless, even for people who aren’t tech-savvy. The separate audio and video tracks are a major advantage for post-production, giving me full control when editing my podcast and video content. Additionally, the interface is straightforward and purpose-built for creators, which makes the entire workflow—from recording to exporting—efficient and professional. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Riverside is that the experience can occasionally feel inconsistent, especially with uploads and processing after a recording. If a guest has a weak internet connection or leaves too quickly, it can create delays or incomplete uploads, which adds stress to the workflow. The platform can also be resource-heavy—on some systems, it pushes the browser pretty hard, which can lead to lag or performance issues during longer sessions. Additionally, while the interface is generally user-friendly, certain features (like managing recordings, downloads, or understanding upload status) could be clearer and more transparent. When something goes wrong, troubleshooting isn’t always as intuitive as it could be. > > My overall experience with Riverside has been very positive. It’s a powerful platform that delivers high-quality audio and video, which is essential for producing professional podcast and interview content. The ability to record locally and generate separate tracks makes a noticeable difference in the final product. At the same time, there are occasional technical hiccups—particularly with uploads or performance depending on the guest’s setup—but those issues don’t outweigh the core strengths of the platform. Overall, Riverside has become a reliable tool in my production workflow, especially for remote interviews, and it continues to improve with new features geared toward content creators. ----- ### "Riverside Is A Major Part of My Success" — 5.0/5 > **Fatima** | *April 9, 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that Riverside has several services wrapped in one. I have 3 podcasts and Riverside is the best bang for my buck. > > **Cons**: My only drawback is that Riverside automatically generates AI Magic episodes or Magic Clips. I use both, but not one every single one. It's a waste. The AI Magic should only generate when we ask for it. > > Overall, I love Riverside. I was doing LIVE broadcasting with them. The Magic Audio is probably my favorite part. Magic Audio is pretty amazing\! The quality of sound really takes a load off of production for me, having 3 podcasts. I also love the fact that I can organize my work by "Projects". Customer service is also very real. If ever there's an issue, a real human gets back to me and acts like a human, not a robot spouting policy. In 2026, that is a major selling point. I also LOVE that Riverside genuinely keeps trying to grow and upgrade. They are never satisfied with being okay. They seem to also listen to their customers, which is why they keep getting better. I have recommended Riverside to others already. ----- ### "Stick with Zoom over Riverside\!" — 3.0/5 > **Shannon** | *November 22, 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really liked the video download quality. It was clear and high quality recordings I could use in my self-paced courses. I also liked many of the editing features like being able to take out portions of video by simply taking out the text transcript. So easy\! > > **Cons**: A lot of things were not as good as Zoom. You can’t share sound only. If you want to share your computer sound you must also share that screen with your audience or students. I’m a dance teacher so this is a feature I have to have. You can buy MP3s and then upload them to Riverside and play them, but the music will not line up with your body movements or mouth if you’re a singer in the recording. Laying music tracks over your video is nearly impossible in the editor because it randomly just jumps around. You also can’t animate graphics or text like you can if editing in Canva. Meaning, you can’t have things bounce in or anything special. The screen share is also an odd view, there is white space in the recording over the screen. > > Overall, it may be good for talking head videos or podcasters, but if you are an educator or want music or the ability to have a lot of co grip over the timeline graphics and text, this is not the software I would choose. The price is reasonable, but features just aren’t there for me that I use daily. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1042331/riverside?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1042331/riverside) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
