Kaltura Virtual Classroom vs. MeetingBurner (discontinued)

Streaming Live content Organisation of content Selling content Authentication Containerisation Its good for receiving files into drop folders where clients can access to have it picked up by one of eight batch processes. We have the software, installed across 8 instances. This then extracts the media and pushes it through the Newrow, from Kaltura transcoding which will give us different flavours of video output files. It isn't very good for upscaling and really needs dedicated resource. It also doesn't upscale content.

It is well suited for a conference call with a group of people as well as a great tool to share information on a screen so you don't have to bring people together in person.

• MeetingBurner allows me to schedule conference calls in advance and provides me with easy dial-in instructions for myself and the attendees. Many of our calls occur on a regular basis and we are able to duplicate past events similar to it in a few simple clicks.
• MeetingBurner allows me to share a link to join a conference room for multiple people to join and see my screen. Screen sharing is a great feature that make training people much more convenient.
• Because we are a nonprofit, we do not have a budget for communications. Having a free product that offers exactly what we need is key without any bells and whistles and pressure to upgrade in any way.

• More authentication options
• containerisation
• more output formats
• Faster processing

• It does take a a few minutes to download the application to run the webinar portion but other than that I don't have major improvements.

If a product is working well, I see no reason to change it!

MeetingBurner doesn't have a free trial period that leads to a required paid option. We use the conference line a few times a month and don't have the capacity to spend money on a product.
