Wowza review

It is easy to set up and use but allows a wide range of customization.
There are plenty of Java plugins for Wowza, and it is quite easy to write your own.
Other systems can easily integrate with Wowza.
It is market standard so it is tested on many devices and problems with streaming even strange ones are rare and rather easily solvable.

It is market standard so it is tested on many devices and problems with streaming even strange ones are rare and rather easily solvable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wowza does not support new streaming technology like AV1.
It does not fully support subtitles for live channels (doable, but requires quite a work and not standard solutions)
Tickets created by support are not visible to the client, so we often report something and have to check if it is implemented in the new version, without proper information from the Wowza team.
