What do you like best about the product?
Wowza has the most robust suite of configurable options, allowing maximum flexibility for incoming and outgoing streams. Installation and implementation is always straightforward and the platform integrates with all our streaming providers with ease. Support from the Wowza professionals is top-notch and the product is well documented. We're using the platform installed on our on-premise servers on a daily basis.

There are so many options available, even the GUI can be somewhat confusing until you get used to it -- but Wowza has made many improvements over the years and it is always getting better!

Accessibility features for video is a high priority for us and Wowza puts resources toward making sure their streaming engine supports all the necessary items needed such as closed captions, audio tracks, etc. Wowza also gives us the ability to re-stream to multiple platforms simultaneously without subscribing to a usage-based service.
