I am creating a streaming service for a customer-facing product I am developing.
Live streaming has elevated customer-facing events and now supports more professional broadcasts
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The feature is now more professional and feasible with Ant Media Server.
What is most valuable?
Valuable features include live streaming, event scheduling with the Ant Media Enterprise admin panel, and broadcast forwarding to social media platforms.
What needs improvement?
For the auto-managed service on AWS, it would be an improvement if it auto-scaled and the launch from the marketplace function actually added to the currently running instance in a scaled manner instead of creating an isolated instance that cannot be used without CloudFormation.
If the launch from the marketplace button is to make any sense, it should also create the CloudFormation bucket setup.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for 1 to 2 years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I am just starting to develop the product.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Ant Media Enterprise Server gives value for money.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Wowza and Red5 Pro were contenders, but the implementation was not straightforward. Ant Media is already built on Red5 and has services from Wowza, so it became the default.
What other advice do I have?
The customer support for this product and service is on point.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Video streams seamlessly to the cloud but VPN support and local push feature could be added
What is our primary use case?
The solution is used to stream video from CCTV to the cloud.
How has it helped my organization?
It helps to seamlessly stream the videos to the cloud.
What is most valuable?
The web dashboard is clean and easy to work with.
What needs improvement?
The product could be improved by adding VPN support and offering a local push feature in the free version.
For how long have I used the solution?
The solution has been used for two months.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
A previous solution was used and it was too cluttered, but the Ant UX is clean.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would expect the setup to be a bit cheaper.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
An open-source free version was considered as an alternate solution.
