My organization had never used the platform previously, but the support team was responsive to our needs and were exceptional in walking us through the use of IBM Watson Media's Video Streaming. We were able to schedule multiple calls to address issues as they arose, and they even provided support during our live event. Though all of our issues were addressed prior to the live event, it was a great comfort to know that we could reach out at any moment and receive support in real-time, should we have needed it.

So far, I would rate support at a 10. I give it this rating simply because in approx. four years of using this product, we have never had to contact support over any issue. I mentioned this briefly in another area of this review and I will expand on it now. A year and half approx. ago, the video player embedded in our custom site quit working and we could not live stream or replay any of the meetings. I went into the HTML code powering this particular page on our site and compared the embed code that we were using in our HTML to what Ustream was showing in the admin tools. These were not the same. Once i copied and pasted the correct embed code from the admin tools in Ustream into our HTML, the problem was solved. In my time of working with Ustream, this was the only issue that we encountered and it was easily resolved without even having to contact Ustream support.

We funded 'white glove' service as our timelines were tight and our needs were well-defined. Tier 1 and Tier 2 support were able to help us get up and running in shorter order than we would have on our own. Documentation on the eCDN product had gaps, increasing the time to resolve and created concerns about success.
