Wowza Streaming Engine has truly transformed the way we handle live streaming. It's incredibly robust and manages high-quality streams effortlessly. The low-latency performance is quite remarkable, and it integrates smoothly with various protocols, which adds to its versatility. However, I have to say, setting it up isn’t the simplest task—it definitely calls for some technical expertise. Still, if you're on the lookout for a dependable, professional-grade streaming solution, Wowza is absolutely worth the investment. Just be ready to tackle a bit of a learning curve!

The pricing can be a bit high for smaller setups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a small company with limited resources we tried alternatives that could not come close to what Wowza offers. It starts with the documentation which is well written and includes very helpful details. When comparing it to other services, it outperformed by a huge margin. The response time is incredible fast and the videos have hardly any loading time until they play. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation had old content included which we could not use and this could be documented a bit better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wowza can be complex and has a steep learning curve for new users. Setting up advanced configurations often requires a solid understanding of streaming technologies and networking. The documentation is thorough but sometimes difficult to navigate, and support can be slow unless you’re on a premium plan. Additionally, the pricing model may not be ideal for smaller organizations or individual creators, as costs can add up quickly depending on bandwidth and streaming hours.

It has been a reliable solution, however, we've encountered some challenges. The user interface can be complex, requiring a steep learning curve. Additionally, we've experienced occasional latency issues and difficulties with certain codec configurations. The documentation, although extensive, sometimes lacks clarity. Despite these drawbacks, the Wowza team has been responsive to our concerns. With some improvements to the UI and documentation, Wowza could further solidify its position as a leading streaming solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It always works. The application has never crashed, and can always be counted on being available. Being a self-contained Java application, it's never affected by OS updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being a Java application, it is a bit heavy on memory usage. Licensing has room for improvement. A "perpetual license" requires an annual renewal fee if you want updates. Updates are advertised and available whether you pay the annual fee or not, and if you don't, they threaten to shut down your software remotely unless you catch up on fees. They are now more transparent about this, but functionally it's still the same process. Lastly, the software dials home to the mothership and won't run if the license is in use somewhere else. This is a somewhat understandable approach, except it's impossible to have a hot disaster recovery server on standby. In the event of a disaster, a DR server has to be manually configured with the correct version and configuration of Wowza. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
