Streaming Engine is the foundation of our network
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza Streaming Engine provided robust and dependable streaming output for our live sports network. We were able to install modules that customized file naming and insert ID3 data tags for embed score information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support could be more accessible and available by phone. Luckily, we needed very little support over the years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The platform is quite good at transmuxing various resolutions and adaptable via JAVA for advanced functions such as insertion of ID3 tags.
We sell Wowza as an on-premises product.
What do you like best about the product?
There are many different streaming services on the Internet, and there is a lot of competition. Many local governments, factories, and production lines in Japan have networks that cannot be connected to the Internet, but WSE can also operate on closed networks. We sell Wowza appliance products to such environments. The product also comes bundled with YMW software for browser-based management and viewing, including a video platform, HTML5 player, and 360-degree panoramic video player. You can use Wowza directly.There are no products that can be guaranteed to work properly under these conditions.
What do you dislike about the product?
We want to perform stable, low-latency live performances in closed network environments such as factories. I would like to see WebRTC's WebRTC-HTTP ingestion protocol installed in WowzaVideo installed in WSE as well. RTMP has a lot of latency, so it is not suitable for ultra-low latency. WebRTC's browser encoder is not suitable for continuous and stable distribution. I want to sell appliance products that enhance low-latency live streaming.
The same goes for HTML5 streaming. Wowza confirmed that both 8K/HEVC and MPEG-DASH VOD can be viewed live on a Chrome browser, but HLS cannot be streamed as VOD and can only be streamed with CMAF-HLS LIVE. Moreover, the application is exclusive with MPEG-DASH. CMAF settings cannot be saved if edited using the manager. It is still under development. Nginx allows HEVC and VP9 VOD distribution with HLS. We are focusing on delivering 8K quality 360-degree panoramic videos. You can watch it using MetaQuest 3's standard browser, but I feel that Wowza's superiority is weakening.
It's been 13 years since we resold Wowza, but lately we've been feeling a great sense of crisis. I want you to try new challenges at WSE like before. Then, create a flow to expand to WowzaVideo. I would like to convey that the origin of WowzaVideo is WSE. New technology in cloud services has a lot to do with service quality and competitors. WSE can evaluate new technologies at the customer's responsibility. I believe that if we challenge ourselves with that idea, we will be able to promote WSE. Nowadays, prices are going up due to inflation, but the number of resales is not increasing. I think one of the reasons is the lack of innovative technology.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is the issue of live streaming within a closed network. We bundle it with HPE products and sell it as an appliance product.
Local government employees can monitor council meetings from their personal computers. This is just one example.

Wowza Streaming Engine is the answer
What do you like best about the product?
There are very few audio-streaming options in the Mac world, and Wowza works excellent for us, and it scales well with lots of users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Custom solutions are relagated to coders, meaning basic end-users have to spend more money to get solutions, such as simple https links on all browsers for audio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an audio streaming platform that scales well with lots of users that is reliable and fast. For the Mac platform, there aren't a lot of options out there and Wowza works for us.
Bad experience from a billing standpoint
What do you like best about the product?
Nothing. There are better options out there. Vimeo, etc..
What do you dislike about the product?
Wowza has onerous contract terms that prohibit cancellation of the service on any sort of pro rated or similar basis. Wowza ignored my emails regarding a potential discounted price and then tried to charge me for a full year that i didn't want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None.
Versatile Codec Support for Diverse Content
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza's support for a wide range of codecs and formats is a huge plus. It takes the headache out of transcoding and ensures that my content is accessible to a diverse audience without compatibility issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've encountered occasional compatibility issues with certain devices and browsers when using Wowza. Ensuring seamless playback across all platforms and devices can sometimes require extra troubleshooting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wowza's robust codec and format support solve the headache of compatibility issues that I've faced in the past. However, it's true that occasionally, I encounter challenges with certain devices and browsers. Despite this, the troubleshooting efforts required are outweighed by the seamless playback experience it offers once everything is set up correctly. It's a small trade-off for the broader benefits.
Low latency streaming and auto scale to meet the customer demand.
What do you like best about the product?
Being a developer I like the plug and play kind of feature for streaming the video, without putting lots of effort, which gives you the freedom to concentrate on your business logic, I did used for couple of projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found any use case related to video streaming which is not supported by this product, overall good for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had to implement the product around video live stream and video on demand, and wowza product helped for that.

The huge load of options to tune in the engine dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost problem as I previously used Wowza Streaming Service which is a wholesome solution but not much cost friendly. My usage was little below 3000 concurrent users so streaming engine was more than enough.
