Easy as pressing a button
I was having a problem with another livestream program, as it was not able to use all the power of my processor, so I decided to buy the xsplit which besides taking good advantage of my processor surprised me by being lighter than the old one that I used which helped a lot in the gain of fps in games that I do streaming.
PROSXSplit Broadcaster was one of the few livestream programs that was really easy and intuitive to set up, without requiring any knowledge anyone who wants to do livestream will be able to use it, even having a computer with basic settings.
CONSThe only thing missing for him to be perfect and have more addons in the app store.
Reasons for switching to XSplit Broadcaster
Because the OBS couldn't use my processor well when it was released at the time, and still can't.

A simple streaming program that uses a little too much CPU.
From setup to broadcast, getting XSplit to do its thing is incredibly simple. It even has hooks built in for just about any streaming service you could want.
CONSThe biggest problem I have with XSplit is that it causes major slowdown in my games. That is a significant problem considering the use of this program. I hope they can one day slim it down a bit, until then I'm content using an alternative source that doesn't provide anywhere near the options XSplit does.

XSplit Broadcasting with twitch and you
XSplit Broadcaster has features that can help you create great streams to Twitch and other services such as Facebook and Youtube. I had my doubts at first. But have to admit using this is a better option for the beginner streamer/gamer/media content creator.
PROSThe Ability to craft your own title and tags for ease of search. The list of compatible technology that integrates with the software and the amount of data servers there are to help accommodate your needs when streaming whether on wifi or on a ethernet connection, XSplit is a wonder at ease to use for your Podcast, Game streaming, reviewer needs and wants.
CONSI am not sure that there are many cons to this software. Maybe one thing that is disappointing about the program is the lack of customization. There is software out there like OBS that allow for graphic additions, sounds, scrolling marquee for promotionals.
Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster
For exposure, to get a little more experience with video streaming and editing while tooling around with Gaming Streams and Podcasting with others.
Reasons for switching to XSplit Broadcaster
It was a easier to use interface, the instructions were clear and concise. There is a community out there that is helpful without the toxic abuse from other communities.

XSplit is OK for streaming, but where it really shines is video recording for trailer production
I've been looking for a reliable video capture software to capture footage of video games that I am developing, to edit into trailers. Video resolution, fixed frame rate capture, file size and quality were my main concerns.
PROSXSplit runs smooth and quietly when used for high res, high framerate video capture. It can handle 2k and 4k recordings without hiccups and with a small file size. Video quality is fantastic.
CONSThe streaming features and overlay features are lacking customisation options, though I don't really use the software for that.
Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster
Other tools like fraps don't work well with high res footage capture, and the files are insanely large when it comes to editing. OBS is a great free tool for flexible streaming features, though the recorded video quality isn't up to scratch, and the files are too large.
Reasons for switching to XSplit Broadcaster
Fraps is poorly optimised for capturing high res (2k and 4k) footage. The program often crashes or provides a black screen output, and the file sizes generated are enormous.

XSplit is an excellent streaming broadcast platform.
When we use XSplit, it's usually for 2 types of events. #1 - We record and broadcast over the internet a locally hosted event. It does this perfectly, and there is no other solution that can match XSplit for this. It just works amazinly well. #2 - We capture and re-broadcast (multicast) internally for bandwidth savings across hundress of screens. Usually this is only when major world events are happening, but we do it several times a year. XSplit is also the top choice for this totally flexible solution. We may not know what our source medium is until minutes before broadcast, but X Split can always handle it.
PROSXSplit can do what you probably want it to do, with it's army of plugins, and more. The scene features, overlays, and more give a nice feature set that's easy and "Just Works." The local broadcast option has been an important feature for us.
CONSXSplit is a very sign on type program .You login to launch. This might be fine for most environments, but it felt a bit "Home User," type to us when deploying. The performance is not affected by this at all, and I find XSplit superb in all other regards. Frequent Updates can be both a Pro and a Con for the monthly user.
Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster
XSplit is a little easier to user, and performs better overal.

XSplit Broadcaster - Commercial version of Open Source software
We used this software during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We tied to produce some instructional videos but found that as we worked with it side-by-side with OBS that the flexibility was not there as much as we wanted. Too many pre-packaged options that did not work for us.
PROSXSplit Broadcaster is good software, don't get me wrong. However, it is not comparable to it's Open Source rival OBS. It has a great interface and very flashy, but it is a resource hog and does not provide the end results to justify it. By far the best part of the XSplit software is XSplit vCam!!!
CONSIt uses a tremendous amount of resources of my laptop (i7 8th Gen with SSD) and does not provide the flexibility of other products in the ability to put together great presentations.
Reason for choosing XSplit Broadcaster
We went to XSplit Broadcaster for the ease of use and better interface, unfortunately looks are not everything. OBS provided the outcomes we needed.

Subscription based in a free market
My overall with XSplit is unfortunately a bit disappointing. I find it hard to recommend when their are free competitors with as good, or better, functionality. XSplit alternatives are usually more lightweight with a more user-friendly interface.
PROSAdmittedly, XSplit is a pretty powerful program. It's functionality is very good for a broadcasting tool.
CONSIt is a resource hog. On a mid-end computer that could use OBS to its full functionality, XSplit would frequently bog down the entire PC. User interface was slow to respond and unwieldy to navigate.

CompeteLeague had already had a license for XSplit when I joined the team and they didn't want it to go to waste.

Well built but expensive.
XSplit has been a gold standard for me since my earlier days of livestreaming. It always worked as intended and has really nice grafhical buttons and layouts.
CONSXsplit compared to other programs uses quite a lot of CPU usage. Which is fine for running it alone but multitasking with multiple programs can slow down your PC dramatically. Not saying it's bad but I feel like it needs a little bit more of optimising. Also compared to competition it's pricey. OBS is free and offers the same if not more features.

Not good enough to make me switch over honestly.
I've been using the GeForce experience to stream for some time now, and the massive feature set of XSplit seemed like a good next step. There's so much you can do with scenes and transitions even on a free level that is appealing.
CONSUltimately, XSplit caused too much slowdown on my machine over GeForce for me to switch. This is a big issue for me, and people who watch streams, that I think it's unfortunate. You can rightfully say my PC isn't quite up to snuff, but the current program I use performs just fine, I would expect XSplit to be on par? Maybe the additional features would be worth it one day, but for now not quite.

Xsplit : the OBS for the rich ones
xSplit is the one and only software for broadcasting use when you are a small webTV but you have to pay this expansive subscription in order to use it...
PROSYou can do pretty much everything with xSplit, it’s most likely OBS but better, with more options and a more pro look
CONSYou have to pay a subscription to use the software! It’s expansive and not that profitable when you know that a cheap and free version is available like OBS or SL-OBS

It's not bad but not great
My overall experience using xsplit was great, but I eventually wanted to do more then what I could actually do with the free and didn't feel like paying.
PROSXsplit has a lot of neat features, such as overlays customizing your screen, your backdrop, so forth. It has been many moons since I've used xsplit but it is still one of the best streaming software's out there in my opinion. For those of you who just want to stream and go xsplit is a great software and I would recommend it for you.
CONSTo get into most of the stuff that I wanted to do, it required payment and that wasn't really what i was all about at that time because i wasn't making any money during streams. This is the only thing that led me to switch

Good and Easy to Use Software, But Not Without Competition
Xsplit is a good and functional piece of software. If there are features that Xsplit has that other competitors lack, then it will make up for its price-tag through those features.
PROSXsplit is an easy to use, professional-grade streaming program. Being a paid piece of software, it benefits from professional support and documentation, better stability and compatibility compared to free solutions, and more features. Some hardware, like my Elgato Game Capture HD, functioned better in XSplit compared to another program, OBS. In OBS, the Game Capture HD refused to sync the video and audio signals, with no way to properly correct the desync. XSplit has never had a problem with any of my hardware, while OBS is often less agreeable, but workable. Xsplit easily integrates with streaming platforms, such as YouTube Live and Twitch. This allows you to log in through XSplit to your account to create a direct link between the two instead of needing to work with stream keys and stream URLs. It also features integrated media and editing controls. Media can easily be added to XSplit without adding another source. Clips in XSplit can also be edited together in-program.
CONSXSplit is a paid piece of software, compared to free solutions such as GeForce Experience (with an NVIDIA Card), OBS Studio, and Streamlabs OBS. While XSplit, especially early in the streaming rush, was more capable than original OBS, other solutions are catching up in terms of feature sets, especially for those who exclusively stream.

My Experience with XSplit Broadcaster
A great piece of software that I would recommend particularly to livestreamers.
PROSReal Time Broadcasting - With no delays, it allows any audience to interact with the broadcaster much more effectively. Social Media Streaming
CONSI would argue that Xsplit Broadcaster requires a powerful PC to be able to handle a lot of its features. It tends to use a lot of CPU which for those with less powerful PCs will have a difficult time to run this program. It is not the most inexpensive piece of software for live streaming. Other software such as OBS and Streamelements will have a better time attracting new users because of it being free whereas Xsplit has a lot of paywalls. The missing features that users have to pay for may discourage newcomers.

The best live-streaming encoder available.
I own an independent online news website and decided to commence broadcasting a 30 minute program each day. I therefore needed an encoder (at the time I had no idea what I was looking at) and settled on XSplit after trialling several other alternatives including Wirecast 14. XSplit is not only considerably cheaper, but infinitely better.
PROSXSplit makes professional live-streaming easy and simple. I found the software very simple to set up and connect with my RMTP server and have the option to also broadcast to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook etc. The software is lightweight and stable - absolutely necessary for professional streaming. The learning curve takes all of 5 minutes and basic functionality is built in.
CONSI wish there was more functionality or templates available - but this could also be a disadvantage as it would remove the simplicity of the software.
