"11 Years of Rock-Solid Reliability with Wowza Streaming Engine"

5/5

What do you like best about Wowza Streaming?

We have been using Wowza Streaming Engine at our company for 11 years now. With the myriad of things that can go wrong with live streaming - I can't think of a single instance where the issue was trace routed back to Wowza Streaming Engine. Amongst the myriad of variables - from live stream operator knowledge, internet hiccups and outages, gear malfunctions, CDN node outages and the variables that want to play interference with a successful live stream - I can whole heartedly say Wowza is bottom of the barrel in the "blame game". Admittedly we are ona fairly old version of Wowza Streaming Engine as we believe in "if it's not broke don't fix it" and it's been overwhelming solid. We use the software hosted on Azure VM's.

What do you dislike about Wowza Streaming?

Sometimes it takes a while to load all the way, and navigate around in the interface - even on a smoking Azure VM. That said - as we use an older version of Wowza Streaming Engine - this could have been fixed eons ago. Ultimately it's nothing cripping by any stretch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wowza Streaming solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wowza Streaming Engine solves our way of handling a variety of live streams operated by clients without having to deal with channels - we use Azure API to allow clients to boot up Azure and use the Wowza API to overlay streaming stats over the live stream - such as the stream uptime and quality. Basically knowing it's super reliable ensures we have clients operating live streams on the weekends without Wowza being in the equation for issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
