  • Product Usability
I was not part of the intial decision to use IBM Watson Video Streaming, formerly Ustream. This decision was made by others at the time and I merely inherited access to it later. It may have been based on some research done by our IT tech working for us at the time.

As a non-profit public charter school, the cost is always the single most important factor. Then, of course, there is ease of use which is perfect for all us non-technical people.

This solution was presented to us by a former consultant. The functionalities were the ones we were looking for. In general tems, the single most important factor in the decision is the price. Generally speaking, all the service providers for this kind of solutions offer very similar opportunities thus the price is our most important factor.

Features were the most important differentiator, as no other vendors had the secure sign-in, viewer tracking data, live chat with moderator, and video hosting all in one. We could cobble together technologies at the time, but that just wasn't sensible and posed to many risks. With IBM, we had an end-to-end solution from video team to viewer, and back from viewers to speakers with feedback.

Price was our biggest factor as we had a simple use case: single-site broadcast only, with no live talk-back. There are other providers who provide multi-site and more interactivity, but it's not what we were seeking for this event.
