What do you like best about the product?

Wowza Streaming Engine is a versatile and robust media server that supports a wide range of streaming protocols and formats, which is one of the features I appreciate most. Its flexibility in handling both live and on-demand streaming makes it suitable for various use cases, from enterprise-level deployments to smaller, custom streaming solutions. Additionally, Wowza's support for adaptive bitrate streaming ensures a smooth experience for viewers across different devices and network conditions.

The comprehensive API and SDKs provided by Wowza also allow developers to create customized streaming workflows, making it a highly adaptable tool. Its low latency capabilities are particularly impressive, especially for applications like live sports or interactive broadcasts where real-time delivery is critical. Lastly, the detailed analytics and monitoring tools offered by Wowza are useful for optimizing and troubleshooting streaming performance

What do you dislike about the product?

I am not happy with their Pricing, IT should be less for Startup Companies.

What do you like best about the product?

Wowza has a fairly simple setup for the stream and stream targets. The transcoding options are fairly priced and give us multiple stream resolution options from our incomeoing 1080p stream. We stream to Wowza and Wowza outputs to our Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Rumble, Church Online Platform (2 transcoded resolutions) and and an audio only Phone streaming platform.

We use Wowza 3 times a week presently but in the past we were streaming up to 6 times a week. Wowza's feature set is great for the lower monthly fee options they offer. Once you setup your multiple streaming targets, you can decide if it's full (passthrough) resolution or transcoded down to lower resolutions. They offer video storage, VOD and OTT features we aren't utilizing presently, but they're there if you need them. The few times we've had questions our support emails have been replied to in a timely manner.
Wowza is a straight forward, solid, reliable system for simple to complex streaming needs.

What do you dislike about the product?

Wowza just updated their user interface and as they simplified some of the steps for setup, it seems they may have removed some of the target editing options they used to have. I need to investigate further... But I know they listen to user feedback and if there's something that is needed they'll find a way to make it happen.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wowza allows us to stream 1 x 1080p stream from our site to their cloud.wowza streaming. They seemlessly provide the stream output to multiple platforms, with multiple transcoded resolutions as needed.

What do you like best about the product?

It was quite simple to setup, the documentation was thorough when necessary. The Customer support portal was easy to use, and had a very quick response time. Very easy to integrate multiple camera vendors in a building.

What do you dislike about the product?

I would like to see more out of the box support for other camera vendors, or a guide / trip and tricks on how to get RTSP URLs for other non-supported vendors.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allowed us to get real time interfacing in with our buildings alarm system. The operator receives and alarm on the building management platform and the corresponding CCTV feed is opened on a trigger. This allowed for non-traditional security related alarms to also trigger a CCTV feed.
