XSplit (and its "Gamecaster" equivalent) has extremely simple setup tutorials, which leads to an efficient foray into streaming for any new user. It also offers the convenience of integrated chat overlay without needing additional add-ons. Customer service assistance is also offered, although it is limited to email, and responses are not always available (given weekends/holidays/etc.).
The convenience gained via XSplit's streamlined design and simple options leads to restrictions in customization. Its audio settings are some of the most limited, resulting in complications for users who may have multiple devices/sources they'd like the software to pick up on. If you purchase a subscription, there is no warning email - or an option for it - sent out to the user regarding their upcoming billing cycle(s). This can be detrimental to those who have initially signed up via a trial, but they're not the first to do this.
Working in the gaming industry means that having an understanding of various streaming options is crucial. XSplit has been beneficial for clients that need to share their experiences with their audience - especially for those that are unfamiliar with streaming or screen-sharing software. The Gamecaster version in particular grants a guided leap into streaming gaming content for the first time (including the necessary integration with Twitch, Hitbox, or other streaming websites). It has helped my work (and me) to peek into the sort of content gamers, developers, publishers, and everyone inbetween, enjoy. Not only this, but on new computers (or when assisting others with a short-term setup), XSplit has been a decent enough go-to for when we need to share new content with fans.
Not much to be honest... The UI doesn't look any more modern or functional than OBS.
Paid. Watermarks on certain features. Makes you sit and look at an ad to buy their software for 10 seconds every time you launch the program. Some features in the UI are locked down and prompt you to pay.
None, switched back to OBS for all streaming needs.
This product is a wasted effort. The product does not work at all and there is no support.
Not getting what you paid for can be a real bad vibe
it created more problems than it solved.
