(26-50 of 126)A reliable streaming service that we've only praise for.
- Storage of footage is excellent, clear and easily managed.
- Syncing to our streaming system is easy.
- Reliability is always good.
- The preview functionality of saved footage can be very laggy.
Great Company - Great Support - Innovative - Pricing Model could be Better for True Disruption!
- Customer Service
- Platform is easy to understand
- Lower price
Pretty good product.
- Stores media
- Transfers to Youtube
- Download capability
- Support
- Too Expensive
- Downloads take too long.
Honesty
- The video quality for the end user is great.
- Very little lag
- Simple to use
- The editing tools need more flexibility. If something is corrupt in the center, we have to download, use other software and hope the compression will work when uploaded back to ustream.
Easy to use and reliable video streaming
- The streaming service is relatively easy to set up and is reliable.
- For those occasional weeks when we lose our internet connection, I appreciate the ability to upload our locally saved version of the video so our regular watchers can still access a video via the IBM site.
- In past years we've had occasional interruptions in our livestream (that weren't directly attributable to our local internet connection), but the reliability has improved over the last year or so.
- Some weeks I need to download the livestream video for our local archive. This process takes much longer than I would expect (multiple hours before the video is available for download).
- While this product offers many features for editing and promoting our videos, we do not use those services and will likely research less expensive options for our limited needs.
Review of IBM Video Streaming
- Time stamp feature - saves time during review
- Split screen view - great feature that shows the minutes or the agenda in a split screen view with the livestream video
- Easy to schedule live stream events - one click on the agenda build page schedules an event in YouTube
- It would be great to have the ability to pause the livestream event and then resume again. Currently you can only start/stop the event on YouTube.
- The 'show video' tab for entering time stamps on the minutes page would be more user-friendly if the video window was larger. Currently it either a very small window that is un-scaleable, or full screen mode.
- A default option to always have the 'show timestamps' button clicked for every set of minutes, so the user doesn't have to remember to click that option every time minutes are done.
Our small organizion benefits from the features of IBM Watson Media
- Quality video
- Easy to use interface
- Simple to incorporate into our website and other modes of communication
- Few connectivity issues but occasionally there is that glitch.
Landlocked Church Uses Streaming To Reach Others
- It is reliable.
- Customer support is readily available.
- The quality of our broadcasts are favorable by our viewers.
- It fits our needs and we have not found any limitations to the platform
- More flexible billing options would be great.
School Broadcast
- Stable connection.
- Simple management controls.
- Great customer service.
- Easy editing.
- Ability to postpone subscription over summer break and not lose data.
Streaming church services: an inside look at streaming with USTREAM
- USTREAM is ideal for providing HD video streaming capabilities to multiple-platforms to include personal websites.
- Their system or GUI is easy to use and allows the flexibility and customization for any organization big or small.
- The system allows you to edit video in real-time by utilizing their trimming feature which will allow an organization to create new video and post/publish it with ease.
- USTREAM struggles in rendering the video for download purposes in real-time. The average render time based on our experience is 24 hrs.
- USTREAM would be beneficially if it could add features to stream to multi-platforms with ease, for example, like, ReStream.
Ustream is great for metrics, but you will pay the price $$
- Stream encoding
- Analytics reporting
- Embed codes
- Not a free service
- They could update their UI/UX to be more modern.
- They could allow for Facebook Live.
Easy Streaming Service
- It's easy to use (for the most part).
- The ability to provide the client with detailed analytics is invaluable to the service we provide.
- Some of the instructions are a little convoluted and there are too many steps required in order to do certain things (such as adding a holding image for the stream)
Affordable video streaming service that integrates well with OBS. Works well for company live streams
- Adjustable bandwidth quality for video. Various meeting applications we tried have low video resolution
- Works perfectly with OBS
- Has easy to understand billing
- We would like to see a lower cost option for folks like us that only need it once in a while. The monthly option isn't too high, though
Cost effective streaming of sport events
- Easy to integrate with many streaming software.
- Powerful statistics.
- Good control of embedded content and it makes it easy to avoid other sites embedding your content without your permission.
- I don't feel comfortable with the pricing model.
IBM Watson for broadcasting
- The streaming quality is outstanding and we have never had any issues with buffering due to a slow server. Our problems usually lie with our local internet provider.
- I appreciate the quick and easily accessible customer service. We had a couple of occasions where we needed help and I was able to access a customer service representative quickly.
- We also like the different channels available within our service. This allows us to customize our streams based on our target audience.
- We would like to see the ability to slipstream the broadcast thus allowing a viewer to join a live stream after the start time and still start in the beginning. Similar to a DVR system for home, this would be great for timing since we stream to multiple locations who may not be ready at the exact start time of the broadcast.
Great for Masterclasses with Music
- Clear picture and sound
- Option for live chat
- Replay of published videos
- I find there is a lag in the broadcast so that as I ask my viewers questions, their answers come 30 seconds to 2 minutes delayed. I realize part of this could be internet connection speed, but I have a good service that is fast for all other functions.
CCC's great experience with IBM MVSR
- Very few issues with connectivity to the servers. I think in the 10 years we have used it, we only had one case where the service was down. Can't say that for our sister church that uses Facebook. Seems to be one event per quarter with them.
- The ability to trim the video down to remove extra content from the live broadcast. Would be nice if we could trim out elements in the middle.
- Nice analytics.
- Wide range of methods to get the servers.
- The ability to edit or trim out content in the middle of the recording. The Trim feature is great for removing content from the beginning and end, nothing for the middle. If we could have in/out markers to put on the timeline, that would direct the player to only play those segments between the in/out markers.
- I can't say it does anything particularly well now, except pass the buck and make excuses as to why their stuff doesn't work.
- Videos are "jerky." Audio and video are out of synch.
- Videos uploaded to YouTube now do not have any audio. They blame this on us, but our created product has not changed.
- Videos that are downloaded are often unuseable because they are so far out of synch that it is distracting.
- Customer Service's standard response is, "We've contacted engineering." Engineering never answers.
- Recording as we are streaming
- Provides recorded service for later viewing
- Ubiquitous presence for our live services as well as archived services
- Currently we are served well with the resources that are provided.
Live Broadcast Anywhere
- Easy to use.
- Link to live stream.
- Secure.
- It works well only when you have a good high-speed internet connection.
Reach for better Streaming
- The video quality is very good.
- It's good with broadcasting and streaming.
- The sound quality was good.
- The pricing was a little too high.
- Areas with low bandwidth had problems with sound.
- Support about the product is lacking.
Streaming for University Events
- Adaptability. We're able to configure our livestreams to the needs of our clients.
- Detail-oriented. There's a lot of options to look into, compared to the bare-bones packages that many of the competitors offer.
- Cost. Many other services offer similar services at no cost.
- Viewer hours. This is a confusing concept for our clients, and we don't like the idea of a limited number of viewer hours allotted each month.
- Tiered membership system. This should be simplified.
Getting our message to over 60,000 employees with ease.
- Love the fact that each individual can view the product at a different quality depending on their internet capacity.
- Ease of saving and posting to YouTube post-show.
- Metrics are great.
- Some parts are a bit too technical and over the head of an average person.
- Price can be a bit steep for some of the things we have.
Church Live Stream
- Clear video stream
- Useful metrics
- Ability to edit videos in the archive
- Ability to auto-caption videos is a great new feature
- Love the Call to Action option, but it is distracting to have up the whole time; wish there was a way to choose when/how long it is up.
- Sometimes support questions take a long time to get answered/solved.
- We aren't notified of changes to the software which causes things like our website integration to get unexpectedly broken.
- Cost is pretty high.
Solid stream, solid service.
- Quality of video
- Easy to access
- Solid streaming capability
- Pricepoint
