Love Livestream
What do you like best about the product?
Livestream is extremely user friendly on a personal level but also on a business lever. For a low cost you can have a professional quality livestream that is truly unmatched. It is intuitive, cost efficient, and professional. I cannot speak highly enough about Livestream as a videographer. I have integrated livestream into multiple churches, used it at wedding and at live concert events without any issues whatsoever.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the video quality was higher for the video download options. While the actual stream is high quality, you should be able to download an HD version of the video after you have filmed. This would alleviate the need for me to purchase other software, which I think is a detriment to Livestream.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working for a church, being able to livestream our services has allowed us to review and critique our Sunday morning and our quality has almost doubled. Having livestream has also allowed us to reach more people, introduce people to the church, and provide a way for the congregation to stay connect while they are away.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it. No other product has the same quality and ease of use as Livestream. I know that Facebook Live is becoming a thing but the quality is awful and you should never want Facebook Live to be representative of the type of product you have. Livestream is professional, has a separate app, and has higher quality.
Unreliable for business use
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface, comprehensive configuration options
What do you dislike about the product?
1. There's some kind of glitch with mobile users on iOS when you're preferences aren't configured currently, people can't view your videos (and with half our traffic coming from iPhones and iPads, this was a HUGE problem). We had to go through hundreds of videos and manually re-configure them to work with iOS, crazy!
2. The service routinely goes down. Not like once or twice a year, but once or twice a month. This means your videos don't work. So all your paid traffic is going to broken pages with a video that doesn't play. Videos are critical to our advertising, and with them not working, we see a substantial dip in sales.
3. Their reporting is weak. For business use, we need too know average time people watch and other data points that aren't available in report.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not sure why they have routine outages each month, sometimes lasting 5-10 mins (during critical business hours). There's never notice or an email explaining why, or how they are working to fix the problem.
We've since started replacing our Vimeo videos with YouTube, since it's more reliable for business needs.

Use it! Vimeo
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of being able to watch when you have time, pause if needed, and return when available. It reminded me more of watching you-tube videos, which is one of the latest trends in technology. Also, you can watch it on various devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
That sometimes the video graphics were not ideal, although this may be more due to the technology available to the recorder.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is an easy way for our campus to share information from meetings, Public announcements, or Professional development.
One of the Premier Event Streaming Platforms available!
What do you like best about the product?
A few key features that are available is the robust platform that Livestream provides in both software and hardware options. With dedicated software for live streaming video for Mac, PC and mobile devices along with dedicated hardware options to stream to their service, Livestream has really thought of any holes in their service and filled them. They are constantly improving their analytics and in doing so has really added a ton of value to their offerings.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two key areas that are on the negative side of Livestream as a software service. The first is that their analytics offerings are limited in a few areas. For instance they give you a great option to see what countries and cities are watching in both live and recorded views, however they don't match add in the states in which the cities reside. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see Springfield on the list of cities in the US, but not know if it is Springfield, IL or Springfield, VA. The second is that once you are inside of their ecosystem, it is really hard to leave. We have a mobile app that accepts iOS HLS or Android HTTPS, but Livestream doesn't allow you to pull that feed out of their system or give you access to encode another video stream and send it to a different CDN.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to share, communicate and target a large audience of people who currently won't come to one of our weekend services or buildings. They might be traveling, or might have moved and still want to stay connected to our organization. By using Livestream and the archive, and storage features, we are able to allow access to our full services without worrying about copyright issues but still allow anyone to watch, rewatch or share our content.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering Livestream as your live event streaming choice, I would highly recommend going with the upper tier packages. The basic package leaves you with little to no control and basically no analytics, unless you use Google Analytics.
Fantastic for hosting videos on wordpress
What do you like best about the product?
Processing time is reasonable, there are good privacy options and its a stable and reliable video hosting platform for videos on wordpress sites.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the smallest change in settings can result in the embedded video just deciding not to play. Also its quite annoying to get to your albums/channels from the home page. IT SHOULD BE RIGHT THERE but you have to go to profile to find it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting videos for sites and sending previews. The password feature is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buy a plan if you plan for vimeo to do heavy lifting.
