What do you dislike about the product?
I would recommend to have some more languages support so that it can be used by other development people who are comfortable working in just limited languages..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most common problem is getting a reliable service provider for streaming. So wowza proved to be reliable and easy to understand integration and this benefited integrating it easily.
Cost trap. Very dangerous product
We no longer have any instance of this product and without reluctance I continue to receive invoices.
This is a nightmare.
The online information on this situation is very deficient if not non-existent.
It does not make us trust the AWS Markewtplace ( AND WOWZA ) at all for future projects.
Easy Setup Video Streaming Application

Wowza streaming is very easy to set up and Wowza media solutions provide tons of resources that help and guide how to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the help support will take a few days to reply to a raised ticket. But other than that I have not found anything to dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Wowza engine for live streaming of events and it has served my purpose for small scale viewership.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to live stream content to a small audience then Wowza engine is the solution. You can deploy it on a cloud or on a local machine easily and there are a lot of support documents that help and guide you to do that.
Arbitrarily Limited
This has been great for cost management of Wowza servers that don't need to be running 24/7, but that is where the positives end. EC2 has released new instance types, specifically m5, since this image was last updated which are not supported. Attempts to manually migrate to other instance types have failed also. But now that I've deployed my fleet with this AMI, I'm stuck.
Newer instance types
We use Wowza AMIs all around the world and they work pretty good.
Do you have a plan for supporting newer instance types? We use c4.4xlarge EC2 instances in most regions, but in some regions they are not available. Only newer instance type c5.4xlarge is available but your AMI doesn't support it. Could you please add it? Thank!
Wowza Media Server is the Best
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Wowza for Streaming for over a decade. The latest Wowza Streaming Engine is the best available so far. The web management feature is really good, there is no more messing around with config files like some of the older versions. This media engine serves just about all the formats that anyone would need, It is stable and a true work horse. If you ever have to ask for support they are on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there is a single thing that I do not like about this product. The only thing I would not like to see is is they get purchased by some big company. From what I can tell they focus on their streaming technologies and that is a good thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had to build an in house secure VOD system to sever thousands of videos that were over an hour long. Our front end is written in PHP and the whole system is authenticated through our LMS using LTI. It is secure and encrypted using StreamLink. The Streaming Engine is rock solid and the only time we need to touch it is to upgrade to a newer version.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to host your own streaming engine I would look no further than the Wowza media server. It is solid, fast, efficient , and easy to set up. Documentation is good and their support is stellar.
