Versatile Codec Support for Diverse Content

  • August 17, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

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.

It was do it yourself at first but a rewarding platform to put to high capacity use

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to deliver on different renditions and ingest from almost everywhere around the world.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.

I Was Wowed By Wowza

  • August 27, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

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.
