I love how easy it is to use! I am not a techie and had some apprehensions as I imagined that it would take alot to get Viloud up and running. I was wrong. In a few brief steps, I had already created my first channel using one of my google playlists. I also really like the seamless interation with other platforms like my website and also tools like Restream. Being able to leveraging livestreaming is important and I like that I can stream to one of the Vilud channels or to wherever my channel is connected to. Viloud allows me to be versatile with my digital needs. I love that we have the option of a linear and on-demand channels. Some experiences benefit from a set time and viewing in specific order and others require more flexibility. Having the option to create as I see fit is really helpful. This also works with the fact that I can create multiple domains for different experiences. So for my global event, I may want a linear stream for that day, but for some of my other brands, I may wish to keep it on demand. I also really like the simplicity of the channel pages that you can create with Viloud and that you can also use your own domain.

I do not love the limits that are placed on storage and views, but i understand that costs run high and in order to stay in business, you have to be mindful of such matters. I also would love the Viloud pages to have more functionality. I love the simplicity, but would love the ability to embed elements on the page itself.

They have wonderful customer service - when I e-mail them, I usually hear back within 12 hours and they have always been very accommodating for my needs.

The scheduling software Viloud provides is top notch. Occasionally there is a minor glitch when updating, but a simple reset/reboot takes care of that issue. The Scheduler is the main function of Viloud that I use. They also have an excellent player that can be embedded anywhere and the player can be used for one video or as a "tv screen" to embed a full 24/7 TV channel controlled by their Scheduler.

Depending on your plan, there is limited storage space available and the bandwidth they provide (also depending on the plan) is used up very quickly if you host your videos with Viloud. You are better off storing the videos on another service like Vimeo or Adilo because Viloud allows importing from any other video host provided you give them an m3u8 link. In this regard, they act merely as a middleman so you can use their excellent scheduling software to program 24/7 television channels or you can use their built-in player (also excellent) to embed one or more videos on web sites.

I want additional minutes for live broadcast

Overall, we're happy we made the purchase. We believe it will help us make money in the future so we look at it as one of the investments to help us reach our financial goals.

We've tried several products in this space but kept going back to the idea of Viloud. The others were too complicated/clunky, unfinished, buggy, or expensive. Viloud was THE EASIEST way for us to start our own video service. It's complete. It's clean, and it is a dream come true. Who would have thought 'owning' an online TV station would be attainable for a reasonable price. We love Viloud and can't wait to see what the team plans on doing next. Viloud is highly recommended because it is SO easy and well put together.

They could offer more storage space as some of their competitors do. However, they have been very transparent about why they do not. As well, in this case, it is about quality. The QUALITY wins, and we don't want the quality compromised (or we all lose). The alternative is to host it on a platform like YT (and bring it to Viloud). That then offers you 'unlimited.'

I didn't came accross any sort of Issues while creating and Streaming. According the experience we had, it was good choice for TV channel management and video publishing.

Creating TV channels and monetising them was quite good, and we can schedule the Streaming of videos in third party platforms, which was very helpful. For streaming videos, it has all the necessary features to make a smooth and advanced video stream.

I thought dashboard could have Little more main features or options directly, which could have helped me a lot. Interface could have been more attractive.
