I had to implement the product around video live stream and video on demand, and wowza product helped for that.
It was do it yourself at first but a rewarding platform to put to high capacity use

The huge load of options to tune in the engine dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost problem as I previously used Wowza Streaming Service which is a wholesome solution but not much cost friendly. My usage was little below 3000 concurrent users so streaming engine was more than enough.
Flexibility with the capability to work with any project.

Some of the integration solution like flowplayer is bit complex and not as streamlined as it should be. Specially interatice playback feature is need to improve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wowza streaming engine is best when it comes to customisation. However it's other features of security and scalability is better in every aspect in this domain.
I Was Wowed By Wowza
What do you like best about the product?
1. I wouldn't say I like downloads (except for the reason to try them), especially for software I frequently use. Hence Wowza Cloud Streaming comes fast in the bargain for me because I have been able to stream live from my Browser as it can stream from any browser, and browser-based streaming is simple.
2. The capability to stream pre-recorded and edited videos as LIVE on my YouTube channel is a winner all the way. It enhances my live video message as clarity and quality come to the fore.
3. The 1 Month Free Trial is excellent and long enough to appreciate what this tool can do. If your live streamings are for business, then within the trial period, you can make enough money to continue using it as a paid user after the trial is over. Here the software owners have the poor me in mind as much as they think about the rich user. Talk about empathy!

What do you dislike about the product?
1. The fact that you must pay for some upgrade to access better-enhanced support is an apparent turn-off to start-ups on low budgets. Start-ups have the most questions and need full access to support services regardless of their membership status. They want to learn how to use the software to make money and come back to pay for the paid service and not to be charged for learning. Asking for help to use your software correctly must never be a paid-for service in any way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Live videos on YouTube bring higher numbers of viewers and subscribers. The more viewers I have for my videos, the more clicks I have on my affiliate links that go along with the videos. The more clicks on my affiliate links, the more sales I make. In this regard, Wowza Cloud Streaming is highly beneficial.
Newer instance types
We use Wowza AMIs all around the world and they work pretty good.
Do you have a plan for supporting newer instance types? We use c4.4xlarge EC2 instances in most regions, but in some regions they are not available. Only newer instance type c5.4xlarge is available but your AMI doesn't support it. Could you please add it? Thank!
Easy and Expert Solution
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to manage it via web management panel.Our staff even newbies can manage it easily. In case of any problem they have a very good community for asking. It's possible to find your questions on their forum.
And it has a very good transcoder for transcoding streams to different bitrates. With GPU and Intel Quicksync support we are able to transcode many streams in a single box.

What do you dislike about the product?
Poor Analytics . You need other tools to get deeper statistics and data. Also you can't keep historical data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It supports GPU transcoding. We are doing same operation with a single server instead of 20 server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please spend some time to try and configure it. It could solve all your needs.
g2 instances not available
Why g2 instances are not available? Is there any particular reason for it? We really have the need to utilize NVENC transcoding capability of g2.
