Comcast Technology Solutions CTSuite vs. Dalet Flex vs. StreamShark Live Streaming Platform

Ooyala provides the opportunity to scale and manage multiple services and platforms in the organization with its integration services with internal tools like Slack and multiple other applications. Also, it helps you understand the views, reach, and engagement with the videos that help you define your next campaign strategy. In my experience, Ooyala could be less appropriate for managing URLs and unreliability may make you upload videos more than once.

• Our account manager, James Broberg, is an absolute pleasure to work with. He clearly has our goals in mind when he suggests the new features in our bi-weekly meeting.
• Additionally, the StreamShark support team, namely, Yudong, Robert, and Aakanksha drive our requests to completion in a timely manner.
• The look and feel of the GUI is user-friendly.

• Channel support (see YouTube channels).
• More Webinar options, i.e. polls and attendance.

The StreamShark Live Streaming Platform's easy-to-use. There are a few features that require learning, but this is expected.

The customer support from StreamShark is exceptional. Always very responsive and quick resolution which is often needed just before an event goes live.

We have used all the rival products. Ooyala has been our favourite for years, but feel like they have stalled in new product development.

I had been researching different virtual event s and streaming platforms and kept coming up against the same problems. They either couldn't be branded, the signup flow added friction and would have caused drop off, or quality of the stream was poor. It was also important that I was able to get data and analytics from the stream. This meant that embedded YT live was out of the question because embedded YT don't always count the views. StreamShark Live Streaming Platform allowed for a solve for all of these problems.

• Ooyala certainly helped improve ROI.
• It also provides a strong capability for integration with other marketing automation tools for improved digital marketing ROI.
