Pros

“As a producer and streamer Restream is one of my best companion apps to par with my streaming/switcher apps.”

Paulo M.

Producer

“What I don’t like about Restream is the price, since there’s a lot of platforms that offer the multi-streaming option but again the benefits are worth it.”

Paulo M.

Producer

“With this software you can easily interact with your audience in real ltime and drive action in your live stream.”

Elizabeth F.

Content Producer and Strategist

Pros

“It offered strong live streaming capabilities, reliable performance, and useful features for real-time media delivery. While there was a learning curve in some areas, it still felt like a solid solution for professional streaming needs.”

Mikiyah B.

CEO

“The template installation provided a form to fill out where I provided the various information (stack name, min/max number of instances of each type, size of the EC2 instances, networks, etc).”

Matthew M.

Senior DevOps Engineer

“No Comprehensive Academic Analytic Data on Dashboard: As a scientist, I need detailed analytics such as packet loss graphs, jitter over time, viewer geolocation to produce my scientific work.”

Mayank Y.

IT Intern

Cons

“Sometimes, there are considerable delays on certain social media platforms, alongside with frame drops.”

MikeToon S.

CEO

“I apparently signed up for a paid subscription a few years ago. Upon going back through my old emails, I see it never worked properly.”

Nicole S.

host producer owner

“I am going to American Express Platinum and filing a complaint bad business practices.”

James Z.

President

Cons

“Difficulties with Updating the Application Version: Updating the application version is a difficult process, especially in universities when we have legacy code built for previous APIs and the upgrade procedure usually takes a whole weekend of regression testing.”

Mayank Y.

IT Intern

“The main drawbacks I’ve noticed are the inaccurate viewer count for HLS streams, as well as limited advanced viewer insights and monitoring capabilities.”
