Overall Satisfaction with IBM Video Streaming

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Cloud Video (Ustream) is used as a streaming service for our entire news broadcast video platform. It's used by our TV broadcast department (ABC TV) to broadcast our daily local news in our 24 hours basis on the internet (on our web page, desktop, mobile and native app) and to store it as video on demand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Stable streaming platform
Good reports
Easy to deploy
Transconding
Advertisement layer

Cons

High price
more options in ad servers
api improvements

Alternatives Considered

Best price/benefit balance

Likelihood to Recommend

In our case scenario, it is well suited for what we do - broadcast video streaming on the Internet and environments where transcoding is almost mandatory such as mobile and native app on smartphones. I think it is less suitable for video on demand because of the high priced storage space.

Hi Alejandro. I'm Bob from the Voice of the Customer team here at Ustream, an IBM Company. Thanks very much for sharing your review and we look forward to finding more ways to help you fulfill your mission. As a former reporter, I'm always pleased to see that we are helping news people reach their audience. One of the things we'd love to explore with folks like you is the potential of real-time translation and transcription, something we're looking at in partnership with our Watson teammates here at IBM. When the time is right, I'd love to have a conversation with you about this.
