24/7 IBM YMMD
KCSU and CTV both needed a solution for 24/7 streaming. YouTube was not practical, and other services do not offer 356 streaming. IBM video streaming has been reliable, easy to use, and provides a reasonable price on a student media budget.

My organization used the platform for a major educational video premiere, and the capability to stream for large audiences simultaneously while incorporating live elements was extraordinary. We are incredibly pleased with the end result and the virtual event kicked off without a single hiccup.

Our event was not that large. We had 100 online at same time and it was flawless.

Ustream/IBM: Very dependable, needs minor product tweaks
We’ve greatly benefited from this scalability during our graduation ceremonies. Rock solid performance.
[Updated on 10/2020: Yes, while IBM can handle "massive concurrent viewership", if you have the budget for it, it's web and CMS infrastructure has significant glitches and, in some cases, its engineers haven't even deleted or removed feature buttons that the product no longer supports, and it makes it confusing to our teams when we try to onboard new users. It's bizarre, and reflects poorly on the IBM brand.]

Service itself is good, but support from IBM is terrible and has impacted our business.
My organisation has not benefited from this.
December 09, 2019
Elementary
Yes. We have done services, bible studies, funerals, and allowed audience engagement when they could not be present.

IBM's screamin'-fast streamin'
Yes. Many sporting events, graduations, concerts, and special speakers.
December 03, 2019
Flexible, affordable, and powerful.
Being a medium-sized church, we don't see a large amount of viewership, e.g. more than 100 people per stream. Even at a small scale, we've found that we've been able to have a plan that works well financially, and when our number of viewers is above average, the cost associated is very reasonable.

Streaming a Seminary Classroom
Our organization has not benefited from this scalability when streaming live events because we only stream to a limited number of students who are given the password to the channel (the class they are taking). However, we have had a couple of events that weren't password-protected, and the stream easily facilitated the numbers that were watching.

IBM Watson Media Review
Yes. We are able to host multiple users in our online Spanish classes. This is one of the major reasons we chose IBM Watson Media.

The best streaming service for live corporate events
We definitely utilize this function all the time, for small, medium, and large scale events on a global scale. For corporate town halls, internal meetings, and external awards events, etc. IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming excels in this capability, and it is the main reason we use the service exclusively, and always recommend the service to our clients.
Our audiences generally comprise of family members of students and viewership is small but very appreciative.

Video streaming over multiple corporate sites
The subscription model grandfathered in from Ustream prevents massive concurrent viewership as bandwidth is limited, and exceeding that, it increases costs dramatically. If this has now changed, this hasn't been communicated well.

IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming Brings Church to Travelers and Homebound Members
Our organization is not large, in fact, it is small. We appreciate this service more based on the fact that we are able to use such a powerful capability despite our modest size. We find that this supports us at our current size, yet offers a huge growth potential if we change our model of webcasting in the future.

A Simple Solution for a Live Streaming Extravaganza!
USTREAM has given us the ability to securely stream live sporting events to our school community on their mobile devices or computers while behind a password-protected website. The audience varies in size based on the event, and USTREAM's service has been reliable across all platforms and device types.

IBM Watson Live streaming is Great for Religious Services
We don't really count as an organization that uses or needs massive video capacity. I'm glad, however, that the ability is there because it gives me confidence in the system's reliability.
October 25, 2019
Great service! Room to grow!
Our viewer counts are lower than we would like, but this is often due to the small audience of our customers.
October 25, 2019
IBM Watson's Video Streaming Platform is excellent at everything we knew we needed and even had important features we never even dreamed of!
We have always been able to stream to as many users as we needed, so the software is truly excellent for this.
October 25, 2019
Easy setup, great service. Our viewers love it.
We've never had a complaint about the speed of service. We only typically have up to 100 simultaneous viewers, but the process is pretty smooth and seamless.

A church's video of IBM Watson (Ustream Pro)
Somewhat. We generally only stream to 20-250 viewers, externally. I'm aware you support much larger audiences, but we don't have that level of viewership.
October 16, 2019
Live streaming capabilities are great, but the Analytics Console could use some work
Yes, our team reports viewership numbers of live events in real time to our stakeholders.

What's On Media - I Be Mobile
We had a great response from viewers on a live stream of an awards ceremony. Our viewership was quite large.
October 09, 2019
A reliable streaming service that we've only praise for.
We've streamed events to audiences from 2 people to 100s of people and the scalability has always been reliable and of ease. For example we streamed our graduation to multiple countries to hundreds of families who couldn't make the event. We've streamed TED talk stye events to a wide number of schools and even a Q & A around apprenticeships to one individual school - all of which scaled up/down in terms of interactivity/views easily.

Great Company - Great Support - Innovative - Pricing Model could be Better for True Disruption!
Yes, we are still trying to find the right price to charge and trying to figure out the best perks on our end, but live streaming is going to be a big part of what we do for matches and interviewing personalities within the wrestling business and outside of it.
October 04, 2019
Pretty good product.
The scalability is an issue for us. We had to upgrade our subscription as we kept hitting our streaming limits. It's not clear when we signed up that these limitations are in play. Would prefer to have this lifted and disc space be the prevailing cost.
