"Stoked on what we are doing with @tschellenbach & Stream on @bandsintown. Great product these guys are building. They helped us build something extremely complicated that would have taken too many man hours otherwise.”
"I am very familiar with everything that goes into building chat, When I started ShiftFlow, I knew right away — for a small team, building chat in-house is almost never a good call."
“Building out feed technology is quite a challenge. We made the mistake of trying to build it ourselves, and we were just stuck. From a feature perspective, we couldn’t build something as robust as what Stream can provide. I’m simply amazed at how certain features, such as ranking, work. Stream is also very easy to implement and their team has been responsive on Slack!”
"We are just testing the waters at this time. We will have to consider upgrading our plan as we continue to monitor performance. The flexibility of Stream's pricing has allowed us to focus on scaling confidently without worrying that we will be locked into a plan we've outgrown."
"Ajaib previously had an in-house activity feed structure. However, user engagement was low, and we decided to retire the feature for that reason as well as to redistribute the amount of resources that were required to maintain it."
"This capability, on a humanitarian level, is transformational. If you're looking at any crisis where people are displaced, have to go to another country and communicate with others, giving them advice for getting settled, or helping them find a place to stay or a school to enroll their kids in—these interactions are priceless. Facilitating this through Stream speaks volumes for its technology and the immeasurable value its team brings to YesHelp."
"Reliability was a major focus for us. disruptions impact therapist-client meetings significantly."
"Teamworks is the operating system for sports. We started out with messaging and calendar functionalities and expanded to forms after that, but we've moved into nutrition, social media, and performance management. Just about everybody in a professional sports organization will interact with Teamworks at some point in their day. If Microsoft powers offices, Teamworks is what powers the backend of a sports organization."
"A challenge we faced was syncing messages between all of the different devices users may have. We leveraged Firebase and were able to solve that problem. It solved the original needs, but we ran into other challenges as our audience grew. At that moment, we had two options: one, we could keep iterating, or two, we could go with a provider who does that best to continue doing what we do best."
"Based on the documentation, it answered many problems that I faced before. it was quite appealing and the main reason why we have Stream in the platform right now."
"People were telling us, 'I'm ready to trade—I just need to ask one question or request another photo."
"The main issue we had was that our server with Sendbird was located in Japan while our users were located in the UK. We experienced a lot of latency loading the chat and sending new messages. Our original plan was to migrate to another Sendbird server in Europe, but they did not provide adequate support, so we decided to thoroughly evaluate other chat providers and eventually decided to use Stream."
“We are very, very happy with how fast it was to get a full-featured chat in place on our site through Stream. We have never seen that kind of turnaround time before. Stream saved us time and effort and helped us start making a lot of forward movement on our process.”
"Stream Chat allows us to focus on building Benzinga Pro and supporting our community, not the chat technology powering it.”
“Our community is by far the number one thing that differentiates us from our competition, Stream helps make Benzinga an actual community. Whether it’s discussing the hot stock of the day, responding to technical questions, or encouraging users to attend our daily virtual happy hours, Stream Chat is an integral way we support our members."
