Wowza Media Server is the Best
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Wowza for Streaming for over a decade. The latest Wowza Streaming Engine is the best available so far. The web management feature is really good, there is no more messing around with config files like some of the older versions. This media engine serves just about all the formats that anyone would need, It is stable and a true work horse. If you ever have to ask for support they are on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there is a single thing that I do not like about this product. The only thing I would not like to see is is they get purchased by some big company. From what I can tell they focus on their streaming technologies and that is a good thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had to build an in house secure VOD system to sever thousands of videos that were over an hour long. Our front end is written in PHP and the whole system is authenticated through our LMS using LTI. It is secure and encrypted using StreamLink. The Streaming Engine is rock solid and the only time we need to touch it is to upgrade to a newer version.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to host your own streaming engine I would look no further than the Wowza media server. It is solid, fast, efficient , and easy to set up. Documentation is good and their support is stellar.
Useless Redhat Instance with no package upstream. DIY yourself.
Needed to fire an instance up for SRT development. only to find after wasting an hour trying to get gstreamer installed for seperate testing I could not get it installed. Redhat is like the worst Linux ever and terrible to manage. That bad I wasted time trying to install something that didn't exist as its upstream package rep is not in sync with anything else.
Going to have to DIY my own debian and use apt. At least I can install gstreamer without wasting time in my R&D phase being on a timer and all.
It is good
