Wowza Streaming
What do you like best about the product?
Wowza Streaming is a robust and reliable platform that offers a high level of flexibility for live and on-demand video streaming. One of its standout features is the support for multiple streaming protocols like HLS, RTMP, and WebRTC, which makes it adaptable to a wide range of broadcasting needs. The API and SDK support is excellent, allowing for deep customization and integration into custom workflows or apps.

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.

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.

Wowza solves the hard, infrastructure-level headaches of modern video delivery—protocol juggling, scaling, security, and observability—so our team can focus on content and product features that actually move the needle.
