We have been using Wowza Streaming Engine for many years and for our self-hosted live stream it has been a robust and stable solution with no performance issues.

Lack of issues with the software allow it to be a seamless experience.

I really like that the customer support is always quick and helpful, and they go beyond just a quick resolution. It's clear that they're striving for the best product to best serve their clients. Wowza Streaming Engine works well with just about every encoder type we use and integrates easily with our own custom software. The initial setup was super easy; barely an inconvenience. We started with Wowza and, though we've considered and tried other products, Wowza continues to fit our use cases the best.
