Versatile Codec Support for Diverse Content

Wowza's support for a wide range of codecs and formats is a huge plus. It takes the headache out of transcoding and ensures that my content is accessible to a diverse audience without compatibility issues.

Wowza's robust codec and format support solve the headache of compatibility issues that I've faced in the past. However, it's true that occasionally, I encounter challenges with certain devices and browsers. Despite this, the troubleshooting efforts required are outweighed by the seamless playback experience it offers once everything is set up correctly. It's a small trade-off for the broader benefits.
It was do it yourself at first but a rewarding platform to put to high capacity use

The ability to deliver on different renditions and ingest from almost everywhere around the world.
What do you dislike about the product?
The huge load of options to tune in the engine dashboard.

Cost problem as I previously used Wowza Streaming Service which is a wholesome solution but not much cost friendly. My usage was little below 3000 concurrent users so streaming engine was more than enough.
Flexibility with the capability to work with any project.
What do you like best about the product?
High level of flexibility and not complex to integrate.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I have yet to see any downside...

We have a web portal that people need to preview audio from and Wowza allows up to build and support that player.
What I wanted to know before I purchased the product?
How to deactivate or terminate if I just wanted to Try on AWS?
I would like to get answers in one or two lines for the following:
1. list of devices that can access the stream
2. list of client OSes
3. list of server OSes
4. Quick start guide for VOD
5. Quick start guide for live streaming
6. Devices required for live streaming
6. Software required for live streaming
In short, a quick start guide for each of its intended applications.
Even in this review, .. rate this product? item is getting my attention!
This worked really well for us
I've used the Wowza products for years. So my level of product knowledge might be higher than a new user. We would normally buy license keys and load it on our own servers but I decided to try the online version instead. This ended up saving us a lot of time not having to order licenses and servers. It also allows us to scale up quickly. I give it a thumbs up.
Cheers,
Mike Braico
