Perfect balance of abstraction and power

  • January 03, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ant Media allows more customisation than typical CPaaS solutions, but handles the under-the-hood WebRTC work, allowing engineering teams to focus on more valuable application-specific features.

For me, it's the perfect balance — we can tweak low level things and access the raw streams if we want to, but we don't have to.

Some of the best parts of our Ant Media experience have been:

- The ease of deploying on AWS
- The cloud portability
- The ease of scaling
- The ease of integrating with other systems
- The plug-in architecture (easy to extend funcionality)
- The support offered by their engineers
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing really that I dislike about it.

The only potential downside (which you're unlikely to come across and might not be a downside if you have the skills), is that the source code is Java.

You won't even notice this in normal use, but it just means that if you want to write your own plugin, you'd need to do that in Java. Java's a good choice of language for this kind of thing, though, and Ant Media's team will probably help you if needed.

For the vast majority of use cases, you won't need to write your own plugins. Ant Media already does what most people will need 'out of the box' ,with SDKs for JavaScript, Flutter, Unity, React Natvie, iOS and Android. They also provide pre-made plugins for some pretty cool stuff, including Tensorflow analysis — so you're unlikely to be writing your own unless you have very specific applications. And if you do, Java's a pretty good choice to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ant Media allowed us to develop our proof of concept within weeks rather than months. It provides powerful WebRTC features within a very elegant scalable architecture that allows us to easily access raw streams for analysis and processing for our application's specific needs (which are to do with large crowds).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a school and we use Antmedia to provide live classes to our students. using live conference on our own infraestructure, these help us with control of video, control of privacy, get our own infraestructure and implement new features at a good price.

We have been using Ant Media Server for a while now, and I’m extremely impressed with both the product and the team behind it. The server performs efficiently, offering great streaming capabilities, but what truly sets Ant Media apart is their exceptional customer support.

When we encountered an issue with the server's memory, their support team was quick to respond, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to help resolve the problem.

Streaming made easy

  • February 17, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ant Media Server has been my go-to streamer for several years now. Their technology (both front end and back end) is easy to navigate, easy to incorporate, and is rock-solid.

I run a droplet on my server. Getting Ant Media up and running was incredibly easy. Deployment only takes around 15 minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
As when dealing with any technology company, one needs to have a background in the product. At times dealing with the customer service can have a bit of a disconnect because the end user might not have the faculties to properly explain an issue to someone more versed in the service.

That being said - having a problem with the service would be an edge case. And this is an advanced platform that has customer service more directed toward power users - always a good thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a way to propogate video across multiple websites with as little delay as possible.

Ant Media Server totally rocks! Setting it up on Amazon was a breeze, thanks to their clear instructions. The streaming quality is top-notch with minimal hiccups.

The WebRTC tech is a game-changer, giving me low-latency, high-quality streams. Plus, it scales like a champ, handling traffic like a pro without a glitch. Integration with AWS is smooth, making everything run like a dream.

Big shoutout to their support team—super responsive and helpful. If you're into streaming, Ant Media Server gets a solid 5 stars from me. Highly recommend! 🚀

Best in Class Video Streaming Infrastructure - a true "swiss army knife" of capabilities

  • January 23, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ant Media Server is infrastructure, which is what I am looking for. It is the best in class for a wide variety of video streaming use-cases, focusing on performance and flexibility. It is great that there are a variety of solutions in the market such as AWS and Linode who support Ant Media server turn key installation of the server, this makes it very easy to get an instance up and running quickly.

For The AI Music Video Show, we need a solution that allows for our immediate needs including live streaming, and linear live streaming to a variety of social media destinations. We were able to get this running very quickly by uploading our files and configuring endpoints, now our music video channel can stream to our audience 24x7 without interruptions.

Because we intend to grow the variety of video oriented solutions and products we offer, the scaleability and the flexibility of the Ant Media Server are the two things I like best, as we grow our audience I do not worry about our ability to handle the load, and as we innovate with new ways to use generative video for entertainment, I am confident the Ant Media Server will be a core utility we can count on.

Finally, I really appreciated the personal touch the team provides new customers onboarding for the first time, the customer support has been really fantastic and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is not as modern as I would prefer, but this does not affect performance or capability in any way so it's really not a big deal, plus they have the API's and SDKs if we ever need to develop something user facing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a flexible and scaleable solution for serving video content. The Ant Media Server meets our immediate needs of:
- Streaming our Live Shows to multiple social media network destinations
- Customizing linear live streaming content for specific destinations and running these channels 24x7

In addition, with the rise of generative AI Video, we anticipate the flexibility and scaleabililty of the Ant Media Server to come in quite handy as we continue our product development and audience building journey.
