Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for live stream scenarios. It's an easy to use plug-in with Epiphan hardware and provides a stable environment for videographers to play in.

Not suited for on-demand hosting in large organizations that have Office 365/Microsoft Stream licenses. The ability to connect Active Directory to Microsoft Stream is a killer feature, can StreamShark implement this function?
