Than after that it decided to drop thousands of frames a broadcast and lose the bit rate of the stream. My viewers had a terrible experience and so I had to stop using it.

I'm having to pay and get reimbursed. Then, every month when the payment goes through, my credit union marks it as potentially fraudulent and puts a block on my card until I jump through some hoops.

The ability to transmit on many platforms and with good quality is an additional value to offer to customers.

I like that this software can be set up quickly and with a small knowledge of it, also is very affordable.

Great restreaming service, but there are still a few things to improve.

Castr does everything I need it to for multistreaming. I like the chat integration, and the price is better than restream.

Good quality re-streaming service, with excellent customer support.

I love the ability to multi-stream to Facebook and YouTube without overusing bandwidth. Functionally it is so easy to use once you set it up.

Overall is very good service, specially Manny helped me to start using features and Streaming within one hour, great.

It does what it suppose to do, easily, reliably, and affordable. GREAT knowledgeable support team.

Love Castr, use it all the time. Recommend it to all my colleagues.

Easy to setup, integrates well with Facebook and YouTube, automatic backups and good price.

Thousands of dropped frames- Useless waste of money.

My experience has been awesome. It works great and does what i need it to and when i need it to.

Support over chat has been responsive with any questions. After using it with this organization, I have recommended Castr to other organizations, and they have been happy with performance.

I'm not so shure about preview monitor in Castr, working few minutes and after that stops and conitinue with black monitor, it little confusing to me.

User interface is a bit clunky, hate not being able to switch serves once everything is setup.

Its amazing system that they have to offer and the price matches the competitors if not betters it.

The ease of use was probably the feature I liked the best.

I looked around and found Castr - it was 100% compatile with our streaming setup, better value for money, and is super easy to setup and use.

Their customer care is brilliant and they are friendly, helpful and resourceful. I readily recommend them to people and always enjoy using the service.

Castr help us to stream quickly and controlled. We love that you have so many options.

A perfect integration with the ATEM MINI PRO and ATEM MINI EXREME video management systems. Constant quality of the stream over a long period of time (8 hours).

The product is a very easy, cost effective solution to allow us to stream effortlessly to facebook and youtube at the same time.

We've also had the occasional problem with Facebook where the stream starts twice, and and we end up with 2 events (a 2 minute start of the event, and then a separate one with the rest).

Good and Easy to Use Help to Broadcast Smoother.

Castr is reliable and affordable so we highly recommend it (and especially for live streaming church services).

It does not support facebook chats and it does not work with the new youtube studio live dashboard.

Im very satisfied with it, I compared all the major streaming service softwares, reviews on youtube for each one and this one was the best.

Well integrated with most streaming platforms out there.

We regularly broadcast about 12 to 15 hours a week and Castr as been a big part of our progress. Being cloud based lowered are equipment cost and make remote work very easy.

Cost effective, supports all streaming platforms that fix my needs, ease of use (once everything is setup).

I like that the software is easy to use and a great value.

Easy to use and very cost effective. I've never actually paid for any of the files I've sent, which has been awesome.

Easy, fast, good customer support. Don't know why you are red highlighting this box and not letting me go to the next page.

Overall hightail satisfies our need for file sharing in such an easy and user friendly fashion.

It’s an extremely easy to use file transfer platform. For most people the free account will function for their purposes, and the rates for a higher level of storage are reasonable.

It is the biggest pain to get and find. They fact that i have to go hunt it down is insane in a world where it should just be emailed to me.

It is great to have all assets stored in one location and to be able to generate links from that location.

I like the solid reliability of the Hightail service. I also like the option of requesting delivery receipt.

Overall Hightail has been great for keeping the team on the same page, however it costs too much to use long term at this time.

Over all pretty good file sharing software. Use it for at least one client.

Professional, reliable, stylish, good useful functionality and an affordable price as a freelance Photographer.

Unless you pay for the upgrade, the files are deleted after a week or so, which has caused problems when the files aren't download right away.

Handling collaborations for heavier media files, especially when developing it along with free-lancers or remotely located teams, has been a troubling issue for companies.

Hightail has some really awesome customer service. Other than that, I feel there are other cloud storage and file sharing applications that are more superior.

I've been using Hightail since day 1. I am very pleased with the quality and the ease of sending documents to customers that are too large to email.

I do a lot of paid recordings and the files are often quite large. I found this to be great in sharing files.

Lack of communication, we didn't get any statements/ invoices.

Overall experience with Hightail has been great. They are quick to assist with issues and overall have a great product.
