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.

What do you dislike about the product?

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. The documentation is thorough but sometimes difficult to navigate, and support can be slow unless you’re on a premium plan. 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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. The result has been faster launches, fewer fires to fight, and a noticeably better viewer experience.
