The System Integrators dream!
What do you like best about the product?
It was quite simple to setup, the documentation was thorough when necessary. The Customer support portal was easy to use, and had a very quick response time. Very easy to integrate multiple camera vendors in a building.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more out of the box support for other camera vendors, or a guide / trip and tricks on how to get RTSP URLs for other non-supported vendors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allowed us to get real time interfacing in with our buildings alarm system. The operator receives and alarm on the building management platform and the corresponding CCTV feed is opened on a trigger. This allowed for non-traditional security related alarms to also trigger a CCTV feed.
Good for Internet / lacks support for legacy systems
What do you like best about the product?
Works well with internet codecs, I like the multiplatformity, quite stable for long run.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacking legacy codecs (MPEG1 audio, MPEG2, H.264 CBR). Config thru XML is somehow complex. Java has some limitation on Windows servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
provides access to my media files thru "streaming" (mostly thru HLS)

Lo que más me gusta de Wowza Video es su combinación de escalabilidad, baja latencia y flexibilidad. Su infraestructura robusta asegura transmisiones fluidas y sin interrupciones, incluso a gran escala. Además, la capacidad de ofrecer transmisión de baja latencia es ideal para eventos en vivo y aplicaciones interactivas, proporcionando una experiencia casi instantánea para los espectadores.

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.
