Stream Reviews & Product Details

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 how simple Stream is to use and how quickly you can get helpful answers and share ideas with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Stream is that sometimes questions don’t get answered quickly, and it can be hard to find older discussions or follow-ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stream's Chat API has been super helpful for Dealer-FX, making it easy 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 intial response, but often need to involve technical team members with, unsurpisingly, 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.

No real issues so far. The tech has been good, and the Stream people have been great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using stream chat for over a year and can share some of my 1st-year experience and why I chose Stream Chat for my app. What attracted me initially was the list of features and the price point, which were reasonable and scalable. Five nines availability, GDPR and HIPAA compliance, TS React client and UI library, updates and an active GitHub community were all ticks on my checklist. If you've never built a chat app before, this is an excellent place to start with plenty of support docs and videos you can find on YOutube. Using Stream Chat has been a positive learning experience for me. If you're learning and are comfortable with HTML/CSS but new to Javascript or a framework like React, the documentation is excellent at teaching how to customise the app while building your MVP. It's also free for makers so it really lowers the barriers, to turn ideas and concepts into products and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, so good. In some cases, I've had to dissect and customise the code for my own use for improved performance and new features, but that was expected due to all the features supported in the provided SDK and UI components. My only wish is there was some sort of Discord or Slack community where users could support each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to configure and the ability to customize the widget and create faces of teammates is very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't experienced any significant drawbacks. My experience with the app has been very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
