Full documentation

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes after update. Once. Got problem and roller back

I could not record incomming rtp streams wowza did not catch them and I looked for another solution

I find the API have a parrier of passage. Not one click lunch or something like this.

1 year support only for all life license makes no sence because updates all life will need support...
The log files take tooo much space over time and I am not sure I read about alert to put them somewhere not to fill the disk!

What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to manage it via web management panel.Our staff even newbies can manage it easily. In case of any problem they have a very good community for asking. It's possible to find your questions on their forum.

And it has a very good transcoder for transcoding streams to different bitrates. With GPU and Intel Quicksync support we are able to transcode many streams in a single box.
What do you dislike about the product?
Poor Analytics . You need other tools to get deeper statistics and data. Also you can't keep historical data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It supports GPU transcoding. We are doing same operation with a single server instead of 20 server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please spend some time to try and configure it. It could solve all your needs.

Buy this, you will get none support from Wowza, I send e-mail to support but always said can't find my e-mail account with any relation with Wowza license and reject my support service request. Wast my time and money, Don't buy this, if you consider to get supp from Wowza! This AMI product no support service!

sits there and does nothing.

Even without instances running this will sit there and run up your bill. $100 had ticked by never telling me it was out there. Beware.

Had no Problems setting up a simple Livestream-Engine und publishing it via Cloudfront.

Best Software for setting up a Livestream in Minutes i worked with ever.

Great Work Guys!

What's missing for 5 stars

  • October 17, 2014
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

I'm using this AMI and it's perfect. Work as should.

This AMI should be a HVM type(not paravirtualization) to perform 10Gbps on VPC with enhanced network on c3.8xlarge. 1 star less

Support is slow. I'm trying to reach them on support@wowza.com and still don't have an answer about origin/edge with adaptive bitrate(SMIL) configurations for 2 days. One more star less

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,

I am sure that this program will be great to use if the people at Weiss will streamline access more efficiently. After paying for and spin up an instance with using the 1-Click feature in the marketplace, I couldn't access to the streaming enginemanager http://[wowza-ip-address]:8088/enginemanager ( of course I replaced the wowza ip address). I read and performed every step and was not able to get into that page.
