Implementation Rating

Not too familiar with the development or implementation side of this tool.

Usability

Really easy to learn. I volunteered for this project during Dreamforce and was able to pick it up and get use to the tool within the first hour.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm a analyst on the marketing team. During Dreamforce, I have helped out with the live production sets with the creative video team. The Ustream tool was used to manage different channels during the live broadcast of the keynotes. I used it to cut different highlights for each segment of the keynotes and condense it into a shorter video for the webpage.

Pros and Cons

Different channel management for on going live broadcast
Easy to use interface
In-tool cutting for video segments

Easy to use, however could be more modern
Hard to cut important highlights while watching live segments

IBM Cloud Video Business Outcomes

Achieved great user views and traction from using the tools to develop important highlights. The key to these projects were to extract the segments from the 2 hour long keynotes that were most important and show it to the public.

Likelihood to Recommend

I've only used it during live production broadcast during Dreamforce and I found that to be really helpful. The company has used this tool year over year and it has helped produce a lot of great content for the Live page, fireside chats, as well as content for internal use.
