Not too EDU friendly right now
What do you like best about the product?
Kaltura HAS been a very good media solution. Today, it is in transition and is lacking in a few areas.
We are lucky enough to have unlimited storage and streaming.
Kaltura also offers screen and webcam recording apps which works well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Changing the integration into our LMS (Canvas) is a pain and doesn't offer 100% surety that our past embeds will still function. Plus, the new player isn't ADA compliant yet, while we are being forced to upgrade to that player.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing educational media and then streaming it to online classes.

InvestmentPitch Media has been using Kaltura since 2012, very pleased with service

They are more expensive than some competitors.

great platform
What do you like best about the product?
simple user interface and clean layout. the automated transcript and ability to toggle video speed was extremely helpful for students.

transcript automation was sometimes off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
katherine video cloud seamlessly connects students with teachers through a simple platform. teachers are able to view the number of views along with uploading lengthier lectures to the cloud for easy access at any time
Kaltura has proven to be able to deliver on "Everything video" in 2020
What do you like best about the product?
The workflow around the various platform products is very mature and well integrated.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a European Kaltura partner we faced the fact that the European Union no longer accepted the Privacy Shield as a valid legal base for processing of personal data since June of this year. Dealing with several government customers, we needed to come up with a stance on this. It would have been nice if Kaltura came up with a migration plan for European customers to the European cloud, upon request. I do appreciate however that Kaltura had to allocate resources for other, even more urgent issues like the migration to the cloud and the massive demand for Newrow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Video is becoming an integral part of most online learning solutions that we deliver to the market. We have deployed this for many different use cases for many customers over the years. In 2020 the focus was mainly on delivering virtual classroom solution (Newrow) to both new and existing customers. Here we have been able to to help customers to move to virtual classrooms as an alternative for classic classroom instruction.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No specific recomendations.
Rich featured video portal
What do you like best about the product?
The editing possibilities for end users. End users are able to do simple editing and enrich the video with e.g. a slide deck or add quick navigation in the video.
What do you dislike about the product?
During covid there is a need for organizing webcasts with multiple presentors, this is not possible yet with the personal webcast setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
end users are more visible within the company by sharing knowledge or introducing themselves/team/department.
Great software, but development still needed to make it more user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Kaltura is a media server solution which allows users to upload and stream content well, with an integration with Moodle. Kaltura has a broad range of options which can be configured in the KMF.
What do you dislike about the product?
Quite a few clicks to do any one thing. Simple uploads and embeds used to be possible via a few clicks in the old media server which we used, however after that was sunsetted, we found things a bit harder to explain to users (as it was a few extra steps / options hidden away a bit more).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have enabled automated captioning which is great. Other vendors (such as Echo360) charge for automated captioning, so it's great that we can improve accessibility for our users without incurring extra charges. We are now trying to tackle the problem of users improving accuracy of transcripts.
Very user friendly!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how simple it is to use Kaltura Capture. You open it, select your source, and click record! It's that simple. The interface is nice and simple and it's easy to select one or multiple video sources, such as monitors or webcams. Also, the quality is great. If file size is a concern, you can downgrade the quality of the video and audio in the settings easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is really annoying that Kaltura Capture defaults to start every time I boot my PC. There is not a simple way to change this setting. I had to go to my windows boot menu to change this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to create presentations quickly and easily and then upload them to a shared drive automatically. While platforms like Zoom can accomplish this as well, Kaltura pairs nicely with other applications, like MediaSpace to quickly and automatically upload content into a third party platform. When working across the country with multiple sites, this is extremely helpful to communicate to many people, especially when they're working remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
One of the nice things about Kaltura is that you can capture multiple screens at one time. The one thing that you need to be aware of, however, is that all of the screens are recording simultaneously for the duration of the video. So, you can't switch back and forth between screens. This is not necessarily a deal breaker by any means, just something to be aware of as you are making videos.
Kaltura the Student Friendly Digital Recorder
What do you like best about the product?
The app is easy to use, the interface is very friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The extension download is required, so if you are using from a new pc it might take an additional step or two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kaltura is good for having an easy screen sharing recording to be done with the same well known applications/tools already being used on my computer.
