Edgio Uplynk vs. ViewLift

Uplynk is a really useful tool that i am glad our organization has access to. However i find that the steaming software struggles on days when there are many clips being created and this can create a backlog during crucial content posting times. I wish the software was a little more streamlined as well and able to handle multiple users at the same time.

The platform offers effective features which are designed in a simple manner so that anyone can use it. They have skillful engineers and support engineers. It is suitable for start-ups.

• They use AWS MediaConvert as encoding services which is fast and efficient.
• The support excecutives are well trained and responsive.
• The best part is whatever we ask them to do they never say no, they are always ready to accept new challenges.

• Streaming video issues
• Poor top image selection
• Easier to use timeline for clip navigation

• I think they need to add multiple input and multiple output structures in their encoding services. Example: Suppose you want to add 5.1 audio to your streams and you need multiple audio inputs for that but it can take only one input.
• Improvement required for the search.

Uplynk has improved greatly in the past year or so but still has some technical quirks that need to be worked out. i think with some improvements to speed and more stability in the program it could be an essential industry tool for our news station. Thank you for the improved performance to date.
