Used for years, always a great experience for our audience.
What do you like best about the product?
We love how simple it is to set up and monitor. It integrates with our streaming software VMix -using just a short code. And for our audience members, the quality of the streams, regardless of device, has been excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is they did increase the basic monthly fee to use the service a la carte. Not cost prohibitive, but as small K12 school, for what we stream to our parents/etc, it it was an unwanted fee increase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wowza allows us to stream our live events to our parents and community members who cannot attend. IT's been awesome to receive feedback from grandparents in other states/even countries, to be able to see their grandchild on stage/etc.

I've been using Wowza for over 10 years
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza had taken the guesswork and mystery out of live streaming while also providing a very rubust and trustworthy streaming platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first we really wanted a platform that would provide a player page for the live streaming player. We learned to use javascript to embed the player on a page. They now offer a iFrame experiance to do it, but I would have been great to have the iFrame method 10 years ago.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for a reliable high quality platform for streaming HD video. Also one that gave confidance that video was being delivered, and did not mysterously cut out or have issues that made you explaine to the client why the live stream didn't work.
