Wowza is the streaming engine that just makes sense, it gives no headaches, no issues, just results.
What do you like best about the product?
The amount possibilities, Wowza’s API gives us the flexibility to integrate with Amazon S3 for storage and Wowza CDN for reliable, high-quality streaming. As a streaming company, we rely on it to keep everything running smoothly without hassle. We can't see another competitor offering the same as Wowza provides to our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a heavy wowza user I don't have much to complain, our company gets what we pay for, but I would say that the pricing structure could be more accommodating for startups and smaller organizations. Luckily our company can cover the bills just fine, but I can't see how that would apply for smaller companies with less budget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a livestreaming company serving 700 customers, we heavily depends on Wowza Streaming Engine and Wowza CDN to power our operations reliably. The biggest problem Wowza solves for us is providing a stable, scalable, and feature-rich platform that eliminates the need for extensive in-house development.
Without Wowza, we’d have to build a custom streaming infrastructure from scratch, which would be costly, time-consuming, and require constant maintenance. Instead, we leverage Wowza’s powerful API to automate key processes like recording, scheduling, and content delivery

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.
Great product and customer service

Wowza is ready to use, reliable, and their customer service is prompt and useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It's a great streaming service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need a way to distribute or stream to our website as well as to Roku. Wowza allows us to do that easily.
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.
