Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming

Currently, it is used to stream externally to our "customers". It is used in a house of worship, so we stream our worship services out to our congregation. This allows people who can't attend in person to feel connected to their community. It has also extended our reach into two retirement communities allowing them to age gracefully.

Pros

  • It just works!
  • Reliable.
  • Handles different devices, formats and bit rates automatically.

Cons

  • Support isn't all that helpful.
  • The online interface is lacking, hasn't changed much in 9 years.
  • No HLS ingest or other ultra low latency options.
Well suited: Small business without video experts or development team. Set it up, forget it, it just works for basic needs. Basic HTML embeds integration like websites.

Less appropriate: large streaming events (10k+ viewers), where analytics are core to your measurement of success. ULL streaming situations. I'm not aware of native app player support.
