Wowza is a simple, inexpensive way to stream to multiple online platforms with minimal effort.
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza has a fairly simple setup for the stream and stream targets. The transcoding options are fairly priced and give us multiple stream resolution options from our incomeoing 1080p stream. We stream to Wowza and Wowza outputs to our Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Rumble, Church Online Platform (2 transcoded resolutions) and and an audio only Phone streaming platform.
We use Wowza 3 times a week presently but in the past we were streaming up to 6 times a week. Wowza's feature set is great for the lower monthly fee options they offer. Once you setup your multiple streaming targets, you can decide if it's full (passthrough) resolution or transcoded down to lower resolutions. They offer video storage, VOD and OTT features we aren't utilizing presently, but they're there if you need them. The few times we've had questions our support emails have been replied to in a timely manner.
Wowza is a straight forward, solid, reliable system for simple to complex streaming needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Wowza just updated their user interface and as they simplified some of the steps for setup, it seems they may have removed some of the target editing options they used to have. I need to investigate further... But I know they listen to user feedback and if there's something that is needed they'll find a way to make it happen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wowza allows us to stream 1 x 1080p stream from our site to their cloud.wowza streaming. They seemlessly provide the stream output to multiple platforms, with multiple transcoded resolutions as needed.

The System Integrators dream!
What do you like best about the product?
It was quite simple to setup, the documentation was thorough when necessary. The Customer support portal was easy to use, and had a very quick response time. Very easy to integrate multiple camera vendors in a building.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more out of the box support for other camera vendors, or a guide / trip and tricks on how to get RTSP URLs for other non-supported vendors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allowed us to get real time interfacing in with our buildings alarm system. The operator receives and alarm on the building management platform and the corresponding CCTV feed is opened on a trigger. This allowed for non-traditional security related alarms to also trigger a CCTV feed.
Good for Internet / lacks support for legacy systems

Works well with internet codecs, I like the multiplatformity, quite stable for long run.

Versatile Codec Support for Diverse Content
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza's support for a wide range of codecs and formats is a huge plus. It takes the headache out of transcoding and ensures that my content is accessible to a diverse audience without compatibility issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've encountered occasional compatibility issues with certain devices and browsers when using Wowza. Ensuring seamless playback across all platforms and devices can sometimes require extra troubleshooting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wowza's robust codec and format support solve the headache of compatibility issues that I've faced in the past. However, it's true that occasionally, I encounter challenges with certain devices and browsers. Despite this, the troubleshooting efforts required are outweighed by the seamless playback experience it offers once everything is set up correctly. It's a small trade-off for the broader benefits.
