IBM Video Streaming Reviews & Product Details

IBM Video Streaming Overview

What is IBM Video Streaming?

Built for privacy, reliability, quality and scale, IBM Video Streaming is powered by IBM Watson AI. There are two editions: IBM Enterprise Video Streaming (private virtual events or internal corporate communications) IBM Video Streaming (external virtual events or unsecured communications) Both editions include storage, event support, custom branding, content management, multi-user accounts, and real-time analytics. Both are powered by IBM Watson AI for automatic speech to text conversion and automated closed captioning. IBM Enterprise Video Streaming - For streaming to authenticated individuals who are either all part of the same organization or, for external audiences, an administrator uploads authorized email addresses in advance to allow access via email authentication (or a 3rd party registration system can be used via API connector).  If a 3rd party system is used, IBM Enterprise Video Streaming along with the IBM Authorization API are used to seamlessly connect. Live streams and videos can be embedded in any other website as well and retain security settings when used this way. To request a free trial of this product: http://watson.media.ibm.com/enterprise-video-free-trial.html   IBM Video Streaming - For streaming to individuals either via Open URLs or adding secure passwords before entry. Includes an optional registration gate (the form captures contact detail for tracking, but does not restrict anyone from watching). Live streams and videos can be embedded in any other website as well and often times customers use their own web application for having users register and then just use the embeds from IBM Video Streaming. To get to the free trial for this product: https://www.ibm.com/products/video-streaming/pricing

What do you like best about IBM Video Streaming?

Ustream is very easy to use both from the management side and the user side. Highly impressed with the efficiency, I love providing opportunities for a company with multiple office sites in different locations to hold important group meetings so that information doesn't need to be divided. This is an innovative product that is substantially better than any platform we have used in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Video Streaming?

I am not sure about the price, but my manager says that our drive is not very large because it is expensive. I have been having problems trying to record outside the app, still learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Video Streaming:

It is okay for small and medium-sized businesses. Its level of customer support and quality is very good. The streaming experience meets the cloud computing and artificial intelligence experience. Ustream, at the corporate level, can be very expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Video Streaming solving and how is that benefiting you?

The upstream from IBM allows our company to collaborate with other offices across the country and share files. So far, it is compatible with many of the systems we use, and our clients use Ustream efficiently and in the most cost-effective way possible at our scale. This has benefited us because 90% of our employees are off-site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Any organization that needs to distribute and interact with live internet broadcasts will find that Ustream meets a majority of their needs. Their level of customer support and quality is very good. Also, their interface can be very simple to use, resulting in volunteers being able to use the system. The only setback, specifically is price. Ustream, at the enterprise level, can be very expensive. This price made sense for other organizations, but not ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
