Overall Satisfaction with Edgio Uplynk

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work at a television station and we use Uplynk to clip video from our broadcasts for use on the website and on our YouTube channel. The produce is useful for allowing us to quickly get content from television online in a mostly seamless fashion so we can get additional views for our web audience.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Video clipping
Video playback
Archiving video content

Cons

Streaming video issues
Poor top image selection
Easier to use timeline for clip navigation

Return on Investment

Allows us to gain video views on our website
Allows for video to be clipped from broadcast to YouTube
Video archiving from television to digital

Usability

Uplynk has improved greatly in the past year or so but still has some technical quirks that need to be worked out.

i think with some improvements to speed and more stability in the program it could be an essential industry tool for our news station. Thank you for the improved performance to date.

Likelihood to Recommend

Uplynk is a really useful tool that i am glad our organization has access to. However i find that the steaming software struggles on days when there are many clips being created and this can create a backlog during crucial content posting times. I wish the software was a little more streamlined as well and able to handle multiple users at the same time.
