Hive Control

From seeing the problem to solving it instantly

Live webcasts have many moving parts — networks, CDNs, devices, browsers, and competing traffic on your network can all impact performance. Even the best eCDN cannot prevent disruptions caused by unrelated network congestion. 

Hive Control fills that gap, giving you total control over the viewer experience. It detects problems the moment they start, pinpoints the cause, and fixes them based on your chosen setup.

What you can do with Hive Control

  • Detect issues instantly with tracking metrics like number of viewers, location, and buffering severity in real time
  • Quickly uncover the root cause of streaming issues as it proactively analyzes network throughput, sources, and stream errors (including HTTP errors) in real time
  • Get notified fast through Hive Portal, email, or webhook and get detailed root cause information within a couple of clicks
  • Apply the right fix by following recommended solutions to restore stability in seconds
  • Automate your response by configuring automatic actions that trigger when specific conditions are met
  • Relieve network strain by reducing available quality levels at an impacted site with a single click or through automation
