I inherited the WOWZA account at work
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is a pure streaming service and not something affiliated with social media/major online companies, etc. I'm not an expert and was able to figure out how to use it with OBS software pretty quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm just a digital generalist, not a video expert, so I have nothing to compare WOWZA to. So no complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We host free live events and like to stream them as well.

Even on a Mac Mini, WOWZA gets the job done!
What do you like best about the product?
WOWZA is a super reliable, effecient media server empowering our orgaization to deliver lprogramming live and on demand. We have been using WOWZA for over 20 years, starting on an Apple Xserver. Our WOWZA now resides on older Mac Mini (3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5) and is easily able to keep up with the demand for our programming. Maintence is almost non-existant, save for the yealy renewal of our Streamlock certificate. It just works!
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial configuration can be a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it is easy to alter and add functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With our internal WOWZA server, we are able to host an enorous amount of archived programming since we can use cheap, local storage.

Has worked reliably for us for many years.
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility. Has many customizable options. Using stream targets between applications has been handy. We've used it reliably for many years.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial configuration with GPU acceleration for transcoding has been problematic.
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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a live streaming provider, it's perhaps our most vital application coupled with a good CDN.

Wowza review
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to set up and use but allows a wide range of customization.
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
Wowza does not support new streaming technology like AV1.
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.
