I've been using Wowza for over 10 years
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza had taken the guesswork and mystery out of live streaming while also providing a very rubust and trustworthy streaming platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first we really wanted a platform that would provide a player page for the live streaming player. We learned to use javascript to embed the player on a page. They now offer a iFrame experiance to do it, but I would have been great to have the iFrame method 10 years ago.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for a reliable high quality platform for streaming HD video. Also one that gave confidance that video was being delivered, and did not mysterously cut out or have issues that made you explaine to the client why the live stream didn't work.
Wowza is Best streaming Engine in the Market
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza Streaming Engine is a versatile and robust media server that supports a wide range of streaming protocols and formats, which is one of the features I appreciate most. Its flexibility in handling both live and on-demand streaming makes it suitable for various use cases, from enterprise-level deployments to smaller, custom streaming solutions. Additionally, Wowza's support for adaptive bitrate streaming ensures a smooth experience for viewers across different devices and network conditions.
The comprehensive API and SDKs provided by Wowza also allow developers to create customized streaming workflows, making it a highly adaptable tool. Its low latency capabilities are particularly impressive, especially for applications like live sports or interactive broadcasts where real-time delivery is critical. Lastly, the detailed analytics and monitoring tools offered by Wowza are useful for optimizing and troubleshooting streaming performance

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.

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.

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.
