Teamwork makes the stream work!

IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
StreamShark is utilized by our organization to broadcast internal live events to employees. We also use this platform to manage our Video-On-Demand archives.
Pros
- StreamShark has an excellent live support model, which gives us real-time support on live stream productions. Another feature we like is the Okta SSO integration. This makes it simple to manage access to the videos and streams.
- Our account manager, James Broberg, is an absolute pleasure to work with. He clearly has our goals in mind when he suggests the new features in our bi-weekly meeting.
- Additionally, the StreamShark support team, namely, Yudong, Robert, and Aakanksha drive our requests to completion in a timely manner.
- The look and feel of the GUI is user-friendly.
Cons
- It would be great to encode using Variable Bit Rate. This would allow for potential network savings by optimizing unused bits while still allowing to deliver higher quality video.
- We’d like to see user-level access and not just admin-level access. This would be a limited-access role, but would still allow users to upload videos, understand insights, and manage streaming content.
Likelihood to Recommend
StreamShark is well-suited for large one-to-many broadcasts, but there are more nimble videoconferencing solutions that can accommodate smaller attendance collaborative events, primarily due to the near real-time nature of videoconferencing solutions.
