Wowza is the streaming engine that just makes sense, it gives no headaches, no issues, just results.
What do you like best about the product?
The amount possibilities, Wowza’s API gives us the flexibility to integrate with HAQM S3 for storage and Wowza CDN for reliable, high-quality streaming. As a streaming company, we rely on it to keep everything running smoothly without hassle. We can't see another competitor offering the same as Wowza provides to our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a heavy wowza user I don't have much to complain, our company gets what we pay for, but I would say that the pricing structure could be more accommodating for startups and smaller organizations. Luckily our company can cover the bills just fine, but I can't see how that would apply for smaller companies with less budget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a livestreaming company serving 700 customers, we heavily depends on Wowza Streaming Engine and Wowza CDN to power our operations reliably. The biggest problem Wowza solves for us is providing a stable, scalable, and feature-rich platform that eliminates the need for extensive in-house development.
Without Wowza, we’d have to build a custom streaming infrastructure from scratch, which would be costly, time-consuming, and require constant maintenance. Instead, we leverage Wowza’s powerful API to automate key processes like recording, scheduling, and content delivery

Even on a Mac Mini, WOWZA gets the job done!
What do you like best about the product?
WOWZA is a super reliable, effecient media server empowering our orgaization to deliver lprogramming live and on demand. We have been using WOWZA for over 20 years, starting on an Apple Xserver. Our WOWZA now resides on older Mac Mini (3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5) and is easily able to keep up with the demand for our programming. Maintence is almost non-existant, save for the yealy renewal of our Streamlock certificate. It just works!
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial configuration can be a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it is easy to alter and add functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With our internal WOWZA server, we are able to host an enorous amount of archived programming since we can use cheap, local storage.
Great product and customer service
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza is ready to use, reliable, and their customer service is prompt and useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It's a great streaming service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need a way to distribute or stream to our website as well as to Roku. Wowza allows us to do that easily.
PAYG streaming - quick, easy and affordable
What do you like best about the product?
We've used Wowza on and off for many years - the quality of the encoders and the recently updated FlowPlayer are pretty hard to beat, particularly at the price point (you can go down a fantastic rabbithole of customising FlowPlayer to match your site with the FlowPlayer add-ons)
Embedding is as simple as a line of code that is generated by the site when you create your stream (and all the encoding options get auto generated but are stil available to adjust as you see fit - nothing seems to be hidden away here!)
A great recent addition has been improving the speed of download on the saved stream footage - previously an 8-hour day would take almost an hour from request to actually starting a download. Now it's much quicker and I can't say how much more usable this has made Wowza (thank you, you've literally cut hours off our tunr-around times!)
Although the customer service times seem quite slow for PAYG customers, I've never had to wait that long to get help (and in 'critical' time sensitive matters they do seem to reply quickly)

What do you dislike about the product?
Over the past few years, every little annoyance seems to have been ironed out of the platform meaning that my dislike is a little bit of my impatience!
For the PAYG, it'd be nice if they had a tally of current charges outstanding on your account.
The prices for PAYG clearly displayed, they tell you how much data you've used each day but you need to work out the price yourself (I know, basic multiplication, but it'd be nice if they could add this into their fantastic platform

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Occasionally we need to run multiple streams over conflicting times meaning we run out of available streams on our main provider. Wowza's PAYG has a (seemingly) limitless amount of streams available, customising our FlowPlayer to look 'close enough' to our main streams is easy and to be completely honest, none of our end users could tell that we had 2 separate back-end services providing streams!
Wowza is reliable and a necessity for our application.
What do you like best about the product?
We use Wowza as our live streaming solution inside of our application. The reliablibility and flexibility is a necessity for us and Wowza provides seamless integration. It is used daily as our solution for live streaming. We have not had to reach for customer support very often, but when we did, the response was quick and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Off hand, I really can't think of any negatives. We haven't ever experienced any outages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use 3rd party cameras with a proprietary firmware for to show live streaming on construction sites for our customers. This allows our customers to see what is happening on a job site without having to travel to the site, which saves them time and money.
Solid Streaming Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza is a robust streaming platform that frankly just works. It does everyting my organization has needed it to do and hase been rock solid throughout our subscription.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tracking mechanism for where the viewers are originating could be more granular.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wowza gives us a 24/7 linear streaming feed with minimal support needed
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 choose Wowza Video because of its fair pricing model. It works great for my monthly livestreams for years. I hade some issues before one livestream and the wowza suppot helped me solving it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wowza had some trouble updating its video portal to the new version. But now everything works fine.
