Stream Chat Reviews & Product Details

I really like how Stream provides a powerful, developer-friendly API for building chat and activity feed features quickly. The documentation is clear, SDKs are well-structured, and the integration process feels smooth. It saves a huge amount of development time compared to building real-time chat or feed systems from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t much to complain about, though the pricing may seem somewhat steep for smaller projects or startups, particularly as user numbers grow. Some of the more advanced customization features also demand a solid grasp of the SDKs, which might be difficult for those just starting out. Furthermore, a handful of features would benefit from additional examples or tutorials to help make the onboarding process quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product delivers on its promises. The API is thoughtfully organized, and the documentation is sufficiently clear, making integration a straightforward process. You can set up a working feed system quickly, avoiding the hassle of building one from scratch. It has proven to be reliable and maintains good performance during typical usage.

The pricing is far higher than what seems reasonable for most use cases. As your user base expands, the costs increase at an unreasonable rate. It gives the impression that the platform is designed primarily for enterprises unconcerned with budget limitations. The dashboard is quite basic, the analytics offer little value, and after the initial months, the overall value simply doesn't match the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Stream application because it is easy to use and connects well with teams and SharePoint. It makes the video sharing and training simple for everyone. It saves meeting recordings automatically and provides captions, helping teams to stay organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Video uploads in Stream can be slow at times, and the search option does not always find specific content easily. Limited storage and basic analytics make it hard to manage large videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stream's Chat API has been super helpful for Dealer-FX, making it easy for our customers to connect and communicate better. We were able to build a really simple, but customized communication platform using Stream's flexible API that supports direct messaging and group chats. This integration has been really important in keeping 90% of our users engaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're pretty happy with Stream and all the benefits it's brought to our operations, but we feel like we could be getting even more out of it. It would be awesome if we could get more proactive guidance on how to use all of Stream's features, especially some of the more advanced stuff like slash command updates, AI chat, or voice and video chat options. If we could hear about best practices and cool ways other industries are using Stream, that would really help us unlock some new communication capabilities on our platform.

For the most part, it's been quite easy to implement Stream in our mobile apps and integrate with some associated internal services. It worked out-of-the-box for the vast majority of our needs, and it's been pretty flexible for some unique use cases in our business. The API and SDK documentation has overall been thorough, accurate, and easy to consume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team has encountered a couple bugs, both transparently in the SDK and more opaquely in the platform. For example, some unknown change in their platform caused images in our app to miss their CDN for an extended period of time. Their support/success managers are usually quick with an initial response, but often need to involve technical team members with, unsurprisingly, less expedient communication.

Stream is feature rich with a great development environment.

The Technical and Support Staff are very good.

The end result is a well integrated Chat System that supports FamilySearch and our yearly RootsTech Conference. We had over 600,000 messages sent in Feb. 2024. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some issues arose, but resolved promptly by the Stream Chat team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
