50Wheel review

GOOD

  • The software is very easy to use and setup, but does require practice before going live with a broadcast.
  • The software is fully featured with all the standard broadcast production tools such as titles, lower thirds, transitions, but also supports multiple remote presenters.
  • Customer service is top notch and this is one of the core values of the offering, lots of hands on customer service.
  • The software is no doubt valuable by itself, return on investment will depend on how often broadcasts occur and the business model supporting them.
  • We’re likely to recommend this vendor, but do recommend you compare the solution to others in its category.

BAD

  • While the software is easy to use, it can be somewhat complex and needs practice and potentially customer support to operate.
  • The software is full featured and innovative, but is still new and is lacking some of the finer features expected in software of this class.
  • Customer service is fantastic as long as you are okay paying for it.
  • The software is expensive for most companies and comparable to others in its class, return on investment will depend on how often you are using the software and any revenue attached to those broadcasts.
  • We recommend this software for larger brands with regular broadcasts on YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn.

  • The software comes fully loaded with features including the ability to broadcast to 30+ social platforms.

  • We’re highly likely to recommend this vendor over others in the same space because of track record, reliability and support responsiveness.

BAD

  • The software is easy-to-use, but is designed with features for advanced broadcasts and multi-network streaming.
  • The software is fully loaded with features, which is great for intermediate to advanced users, but too complicated for first time or novice streamers.
  • This vendor’s support is generally fantastic, with quick response times.
  • The pricing and packaging of this product is designed for heavy live streaming users, so unless you’re broadcasting at volume to multiple networks, it may be considered too expensive.
  • We’re likely to recommend this vendor to organizations and individuals operating at an intermediate to advanced level of video broadcast.
