Overall Satisfaction with IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming

We use Ustream to live stream research sessions to clients that can't attend. We give clients a URL an unique password.
  • Reliable service - we hardly ever run into technical difficulties
  • The back end is rather complex and has lots of unnecessary sections. It is not intuitive.
My organisation has not benefited from this.
My organisation has not made use of this feature.
The service itself is very well suited to quickly setting up streaming for clients. however, the tech support is almost non-existent, and the help desk team do not read emails properly, so if you ever run into a technical issue, or an issue with your account, you won't be able to get it resolved easily.
