Check daily, evaluate on demand
Automated checks run at your locations every day. Before an important broadcast, evaluate the specific event or sites you choose, without waiting for it to go live.
Hive Sense · Self-service readiness for enterprise live video
Make every event a better video experience than the last
Give every live event the experience your message deserves. Hive Sense scores Reliability, Quality and Latency at your locations every day and before the events that matter most, so you can fix what holds it back and see the difference. Self-service, on the video platforms you already use, without Hive eCDN.
Fewer than 1% of enterprise live events reach 1080p. Sense shows you what it would take to get there.

Improve the experience on the video platforms you already use
Sense brings a self-service improvement cycle to the video platforms and delivery setup you already use, without replacing anything, and without Hive eCDN. It is the missing piece between your network monitoring and your event analytics: the one that tells you before every event how good it can be, across Reliability, Quality and Latency, and what to improve next.
See what to improve, fix it, and prove it worked
Run this cycle before and between important broadcasts. Each round shows where the viewing experience can improve, and confirms that your changes made it better.
Score locations and events
Every daily check and every event or site evaluation gets a score from 1 to 5 for Reliability, Quality and Latency, with the details behind each result.
Fix and confirm
See what holds quality back, make the change, and check again to confirm it worked before anyone tunes in.
When the experience is better, the message lands
Live video is often the only time a whole company shares the same moment. People read faces, hear the tone and feel part of something bigger. When the experience is clear and seamless, the message lands and people feel connected to it, and to each other.
Sense helps you create that experience on purpose. Before anyone tunes in, it shows what each location and upcoming event can deliver. Between events, daily checks keep Reliability, Quality and Latency in view, so every broadcast brings people a little closer than the last.
A better viewing experience, with less work behind it
Pursue a better viewing experience
See where you can safely raise quality, for example to 1080p, and roll it out where conditions are proven.
Avoid surprises on event day
Fix issues before the event, not while people watch. Test the locations that matter, fix what you find, and check again while there is still time.
Own readiness in-house
Run checks yourself, before and between events. Daily checks surface changing conditions and recurring issues, so you never start from scratch.
Save time and resources
Put your team and budget only where they make a difference. Self-service evaluations replace outsourced tests, with less preparation, coordination and dependence on external support.
