Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Video (including Ustream)

No - it was so easy - without much support we were up and running within hours.
Ustream is very easy to use from both the management side as well as the user side.
We use Ustream to host three popular webcams around the aquarium. Live webcams are a big attraction for our website and help us to keep our guests engaged long after their visit.

Pros

  • Support
  • Stability
  • Performance
  • Ease of Use

Cons

  • Expense
We were going to go with the "free"/unsupported route with YouTube Live, but Ustream has really allowed us to be more "hands off" with stability and security so that we can focus on the fun stuff like promotion.
The product is great and deserves a 10/10.

The reason I can't go to the maximum is that Ustream is fundamentally an expensive solution, considering that YouTube Live and Facebook will host and stream video for free.

    Hi Bryan. Bob from the Voice of the Customer team at Ustream here. Thanks so much for your review. We really appreciate your insights and your business and we're thrilled that we can help you share your content without worrying about the technical side of things. All three of your channels are amazing and the Jellies LIVE channel is absolutely mesmerizing. And this comes from a guy who had multiple close encounters with jellyfish growing up on the east coast of Florida. Watching your video makes me long to don a wetsuit and mask again.
