Pros

Pros

“Eventually, we had to set up our own servers for stream encoding and switched to another provider for passthrough.”
KS

Kelly S.

CTO

“Easy to use with good overall ideas. If the encoders worked properly and they had more CDNs—especially for better distribution in South America—it could grow into a great service.”

Cons

Cons

“They have a auto renew membership with no consent policy before they charge. And there is no way for a customer to cancel it even on the same day you get charged.”
