But, our live stream is just a small fraction of the services we provide and we don't have time for a product that needs full time handholding. Wowza has been a consistently steady friend in this endeavor. Plus, we also love being able to route the stream to as many places as we need to. > > **Cons**: Setting up a new stream involves a lot of options and settings that, when we were brand new to the tool, were confusing and somewhat tedious. We had to document the settings we wanted and referred to that documentation for a long time before we had it down. A more streamlined set up, perhaps even with a 'copy from previous event' would go a long way in making the tool easier to use. > > We have found Wowza to be a great company to work with. Even though we use the tiniest fraction of the tools and services that Wowza offers, we get great customer service and attentive help whenever needed. We feel like we are important clients, even though we are nowhere near their largest client. ----- ### "Horrible support packages, no integrity\!" — 1.0/5 > **Frank** | *27 May 2021* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Worked with limited functionality. Lots of options that are better. > > **Cons**: Support takes days unless you pay extra.Back and forth with support very slow, not built for a production environment. Failed to cancel on the day of renewal and was not offered a refund (though we are not using the software) Customer service is not a priority. > > Customer service is limited and not a priority. Company integrity is questionable as refunds are not offered post subscription renewal date, even though no service has been rendered. Lots of available options with better customer service and higher standards available. ----- ### "Wowza Engine at GST" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *18 September 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use right out of the box to do Live Streaming.It has its own API for us to use in our applications. > > **Cons**: The (UPGRADE) process could be a little more smoother. ----- ### "Wowza Streaming from a 2nd-generation admin" — 4.0/5 > **Sean** | *11 August 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Most of the features of the Wowza streaming engine are extremely easy to use; Streamlock, creating/updating VOD applications, and configuring server setting (e.g. media cache) to name a few. The analytics tools are also extremely useful for reading usage over time, as well as identifying moments in time when the server(s) started experiencing issues, making any necessary debugging less time-consuming. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the bugs are extremely difficult to debug. We had a recurring issue where the server would suddenly become unresponsive. There was never really any clear indication why it was hanging, nor was there any sense of cause. It seemingly occurred at random points of the day without any clear cause. Restarting would quickly fix it, but it was still a frustrating system-interruption. Customer Service made this issue easier to manage.\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] were all extremely helpful. After updating to a newer version the issue appears to have been alleviated (though it did still occur once last month). > > Having inherited the administrative duties and development/implementation of the Wowza Streaming Engine from my predecessor, it's been an interesting experience. The interface came across as a little daunting, with terminology I didn't recognize, at first, however; after quite a bit of homework, I feel quite comfortable with the system now. I went through the process of installing, configuring, and updating a secondary trial version on one of our internal testing servers to learn more about the system. Overall, the experience of working with the Wowza Streaming Engine has pleasant. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/215893/wowza-streaming-engine?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/215893/wowza-streaming-engine) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
