Streaming Manager (Ustream Pro Broadcast)

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming

We have been using Ustream for about 5 years now to broadcast our temple's live stream. They had all the features we were looking for including: embedding current and past streams on our website, chat feature, analytics, and much more. Ustream allowed us to reach out congregants in ways that we never dreamed of. We especially liked the ability for iPhone and iPad users to watch the stream using the Ustream app or on our website.

Pros

  • Stream encoding
  • Analytics reporting
  • Embed codes

Cons

  • Not a free service
  • They could update their UI/UX to be more modern.
  • They could allow for Facebook Live.
I think for a business to business live stream communication it succeeds well. For Houses of Worship, I think there are newer and more brand-specific streaming services that could be better utilized for capturing a specific audience. If you are looking to do a company-wide live stream broadcast, this network would definitely be reliable.
