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).

Amazing tool for live-streaming

  • December 01, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ant Media server allows me to use vMix, Yolobox and Owncast in conjunction. I have an event coming up and I did a few tests, the videographer has camera with Yolobox Pro to live stream, however I have a few of my own NDI cameras. Due to this, the tested solution is Yolobox to locally hosted Ant Media Server to vMix to Owncast. vMix already has the other NDI cameras as more of the inputs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The community edition of Ant Media Server has quite a bit of lag which affects the live stream latency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Yolobox -> vMix

Excellent Product with Outstanding Customer Support

  • October 01, 2024

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.

Trusted part of our pipeline

  • June 08, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Well-presented, trusted part of our daily client review workflow for a little over 4 years. Does exactly as advertised and is one of the few products that I genuinely look forward to updates for. Customer support is effective and friendly. Price is very reasonable. Roadmap is spelled out.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation could be slightly better in places. Installation on some distributions, where GPU acceleration is required, could be slightly more straightforward. Little to complain about though, generally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ultra-low latency, GPU-accelerated ABR video delivery. While quality is a factor, low latency is the primary focus, and AMS comfortably delivers it.
