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 is very easy to use but is limited to mobile and tablet devices, so if you are looking for strictly web software, look elsewhere.
  • The software has tons of features, it’s easy to use, but again, it’s mobile focused.
  • Customer service and account management are responsive.
  • The platform is designed for intermediate to advanced users, focused on mobile filming and streaming — if you’re strategy is mobile, the value is huge, otherwise consider alternatives.
