WSE Provides a Good Foundation for Production as Well as Enabling Business Models in Streaming
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of getting started and getting up and running. This has come in handy to just stand up a streaming ingest and reflection service in minutes. Once the basics are going, there is so much under the hood, between the API service and the support for virtualized servers to really allow you to tweak and tune to your particular needs.

It is not a dislike, it is just a "you should know." Once you start to get into tuning and customizing WSE, it does require a large cross section of skills to do as a one person show or a decent team working together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem statement is one of a streaming ingest point to a number of customers and then proper routing and delivery to a plethora of destinations, whether they be social or other player technologies.
Helped me transcode security camera feeds for wall boards and web page embedding
What do you like best about the product?
Fairly simple to setup and get web page capable feeds from rtsp camera feeds. I don't play around too much with multi-media streams, but wowza made it pretty simple to convert sources to formats I could stream on video walls and web pages.
Install the app on a server with access to your feeds, then add your feeds settings (protocol, etc) and the output you want....so it's fairly straight forward.
From there, it was pretty simple to embed into a web page using their JS library and get a feed that my android based device attached to a TV to stream the transcoded video.

What do you dislike about the product?
Would be nice if I could test my settings immediately in the web app versus needing to jump to another program to test my settings. It could be inside their program already, but I didn't see it after some html player updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to be able to present security camera feeds to employees so they could see where customers were, and keep an eye on traffic.
