Customer reviews
I inherited the WOWZA account at work
Even on a Mac Mini, WOWZA gets the job done!
Great product and customer service
Has worked reliably for us for many years.
Also wish there was a way to quickly see which applications are active and also be able to terminate a stream that has accidentally be left running w/out needing to change PW on the app.
Wowza review
There are plenty of Java plugins for Wowza, and it is quite easy to write your own.
Other systems can easily integrate with Wowza.
It is market standard so it is tested on many devices and problems with streaming even strange ones are rare and rather easily solvable.
It does not fully support subtitles for live channels (doable, but requires quite a work and not standard solutions)
Tickets created by support are not visible to the client, so we often report something and have to check if it is implemented in the new version, without proper information from the Wowza team.
