Mux

Mux Data is a real-time analytics platform used by some of the largest video brands in the world, like Vimeo, CBS, Discovery, and Udemy. Mux Data helps the engineering and operations teams at these companies monitor and improve video streaming performance by measuring the Quality of Experience of every stream: things like startup time, rebuffering, video quality, and playback failure.
  • Get answers about video performance - Monitor the four key dimensions of video QoS such as playback failures, startup time, rebuffering, and video quality
  • See what’s happening (before users do) - Get alerts when something goes wrong, and use our powerful dashboard to dig deeper.
  • Understand every single view - Track playback down to the individual user level, so your team can know exactly what’s going on.
  • Metrics Tracking - See what your users are seeing , around the world, in real time, to quickly and efficiently correct any issues they may be experiencing.
  • Understand your performance - Our industry-first viewer experience scores quickly summarize your video experience’s performance so you can track day over day and week over week performance.
  • Understand the viewer experience - Track viewer playback down to the individual user so that engineering and support can know exactly what is happening on every viewers device and debug more efficiently.

TED Improves Viewer Experience by 60%

To power their online videos and platform, TED’s engineering team built the entire video production pipeline themselves. When the JioPhone was released in India and took the country by storm, they started to get alerts that their video was dropping for Android Phones which were running FireFox. Using Mux, they were able to identify the specific users that were affected by this issue and detect what the issues were. By isolating that the problem was residing with the JioPhone running KaiOS (fork of Firefox OS), TED’s engineers were able to quickly and effectively tackle the specific issue affecting these customers which resulted in a 60% increase in Quality of Experience (QoE) scores.

The Qubole interface makes it easy for our developers to go to a notebook, pick a cluster, and get started with a query. They don't have to worry about managing the cluster, and they're able to collaborate with other developers easily by sharing notebooks.
