Secure video workflows have transformed remote financial inspections and digital verifications
What is our primary use case?
We use Ant Media to power secure, real-time video communication features within our SaaS platform. Specifically, we utilize it for remote inspection and digital verification workflows in the financial and insurance sectors, where low latency and high reliability are critical.
How has it helped my organization?
Ant Media has allowed us to meet strict security and compliance standards required by our enterprise clients without sacrificing performance. Previously, balancing high-quality video with sub-second latency in a regulated environment was a major challenge. Ant Media solved this, enabling us to launch seamless remote services, like eKYC and inspections, much faster than building infrastructure from scratch.
What is most valuable?
Ultra-low latency WebRTC is essential for the real-time interaction nature of our products. The flexibility and integration of Ant Media were impressive, as it integrated smoothly with our existing services. The AWS Marketplace deployment option removed the heavy lifting of infrastructure setup and maintenance, allowing our team to focus on product development.
What needs improvement?
The documentation is generally good, but more deep-dive examples for complex, custom edge-case configurations would be helpful for advanced developers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used this solution for 3 years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We switched because previous solutions, which were open source based, could not match the stability and latency performance required for enterprise-grade SLAs.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is very competitive, especially considering the reduction in DevOps overhead. Using the AWS Marketplace version provides excellent value for the ease of scaling and management it offers.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated open-source alternatives like Janus and Jitsi. We ultimately chose Ant Media because its WebRTC technology was superior, and it offered the enterprise readiness and support that open-source projects lacked.
What other advice do I have?
If you are in a regulated industry such as Finance or Insurance and need a secure, scalable, and ultra-fast streaming solution, Ant Media is the right choice. It is reliable, flexible, and the support team is responsive.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Integration into our medical video conferencing is smooth with continuous development and excellent support
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution for video conferencing in a medical setting.
How has it helped my organization?
AMS allowed us to integrate a streaming platform into our solution fairly easily, with great support from a very accessible developer and company.
What is most valuable?
It is easy to set up and integrate, and the support is excellent. The platform is also under continuous development.
What needs improvement?
For our use case, it is pretty good in its current form. However, the update process on AWS could be a little more streamlined. Even so, it is always done quickly, has never failed, and includes good follow-up from the company.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for 2 years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use any previous solutions before this.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing of the product itself is more than fair. The total costs depend more on the AWS configuration. AMS does not require much in terms of the machine it runs on.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I evaluated various solutions before deciding on AMS, including options from both smaller suppliers and big tech companies.
What other advice do I have?
I have no additional advice to share.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Strong management panel integration enhances the auction experience
What is our primary use case?
I use Ant Media for auctions.
How has it helped my organization?
It creates an emotion that feels almost like being in a traditional in-person auction.
What is most valuable?
Their management panel is easy to integrate and was straightforward to implement into our own auction dashboard.
What needs improvement?
While the streaming performance is excellent, the pricing could be more accessible for small teams or markets with limited resources.
It would also be helpful to have a more customizable and ready-to-use WebRTC publishing interface, making it easier to integrate browser-based live streams without relying on external tools.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for some months.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I didn’t use a different product before.
I chose Ant Media from the beginning because of its focus on low-latency streaming and built-in WebRTC support, which are essential for live auction events.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Ant Media delivers strong performance and powerful features, but I would advise others to carefully evaluate the pricing based on their use case and frequency of events.
For large-scale or frequent streaming, the value is clear. However, for smaller markets or occasional events, the cost can become a challenge unless well justified by audience size or revenue.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not consider alternate solutions.
What other advice do I have?
Ant Media is a powerful platform that delivers on its promise of low-latency, high-quality streaming. The technology is solid, and the support team is responsive.
My only advice would be to consider offering more flexible pricing tiers or pay-per-use options to make it more accessible for smaller-scale projects or emerging markets.
I look forward to seeing how the platform evolves.
Best Video Streaming Service and Support
For our video streaming platform, we explored close to 10 different products before we finalized Ant Media and it's probably one of the best decisions we've made. I can't recommend Ant Media enough
The product feels community-driven, open/transparent communication, and their plans are shared with the community. They give importance to customer issues and have the best support. They even offer good suggestions to improve the stream quality and they do care about customers Cost-to-Serve and provide valuable feedback to optimize several things.
Good product
Easy to install & use. Good value for money & helpful support staff.
Still need to try it out in a real setting but in my tests seems to deliver very good video quality with low latency.
Performs as advertised. Vendor support is fantastic!
We are using Ant Media Enterprise Edition 2.0 for one of our core initiatives, streaming over webRTC and able to achieve ULL quality.
The AntMedia team is very responsive and supportive. We highly recommend them.
