Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We were looking for a streaming server with api to create our OTT, and we settled on Callaba. We choose them because their API generate HLS video links of our SRT or RTMP source. We use Callaba server for creating mobile apps, segment live broadcasts from TV channels into ts fragments with adaptive bitrate with minimal actions.
  • We tried to host a few small-scale lectures and looked for an easy way to collect entrance fees from our attendees. It worked quite well, surprisingly. I'm not too fond of Pay Pal though, but as long as we don't get charged any kind of commission on those payments, I'm down to use whatever. So far we hosted 4 webinars with attendance ranging from 10-14 participants.
  • + As some others have stated, this is a good tool for simul-casting. That's what I've been mostly using it for. + Their support agent told me you can stream to Callaba from within Callaba to avoid excessive transcoding. As an optimisation freak, I liked that.
  • If you need to multi-cast your streams to a bunch of social services, this works simply great. I prefer it to Restream as I don't like subscriptions. Easy and fast integration, within a short amount of time you can set up your stream flows.
  • The web player is great. I can monitor my streams to see if the video is not jittering and I can share the link with my teammates. Usage-based pricing is another plus. You can turn it off and on when needed.

Cons

  • No docs for Rust. We use rust as our mobile rest api. Hope they will add it.
  • Although we can upload the background image and the logo, I wish there were more options to customise the web player colour scheme to get the whole branding together. PayPal is not my favourite too.
  • - Could be more convenient. I have many 'custom' destinations, and I feel like there needs to be an 'address book', as I can't possibly remember all of the IPs and what they represent.
  • I'd like to be able to group my settings into folders. But really it is not a problem at all, if you use clear naming conventions.
  • These guys need to add a detailed documentation about all the various settings and parameters that this software provides. There are tooltips, but sometimes it's not enough.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I love how easy it is to use and integrate into our existing app. Plus, their documentation page is well structured and allows me to do everything step-by-step. The fact that its video calling API and SDK is GDPR compliant and offers a VPaaS solution also allows us to offer our users a safe and reliable video calling experience. Plus, the customer support team has been fantastic.
  • Digital Samba's API and SDK have emerged as the optimal solutions for embedding video conferencing into our WordPress site. By virtue of Digital Samba, our website now delivers consistent, top-tier video and audio conferencing capabilities, significantly uplifting our user experience. Digital Samba has equipped us with a trustworthy and user-centric video conferencing solution, and we are delighted with the outcome.
  • Simple and effective UI. Competitive pricing. Browser-based. Lots of customisation available. Screen sharing, HD live video, etc.
  • It offers full white labelling, which is essential for our company. It is also secure and scalable.
  • I'm using Samba Live for virtual events and I highly recommend it, especially when hosting a big group. What I appreciate the most is the breakout room feature. As a moderator, I get notifications when a group needs me and I can easily join the breakout room and leave, without any hassle.

Cons

  • Honestly, there's nothing major that I don't like about Digital Samba. Perhaps some more information online about Digital Samba outside of their website would be great. But they do have a ton of information about video conferencing in their blog section. I've really leant a lot from there.
  • While the service is commendable, an elevated level of customizability would have empowered a more personalised user experience.
  • There are no major cons to this platform. I have emailed them in the past about minor issues, and they always responded quickly and answered my questions. I have been really impressed by the quality of support offered.
  • That would be great to have more default virtual backgrounds in Samba Live.
  • At the moment, I cannot think of anything in particular.
