Ant Media Server Enterprise for ECS & EKS - Container Streaming

What do you like best about the product?

I love how easy this was to set up and start using. As a software engineering student, I find the API integration awesome because it lets me build custom pipelines. On top of that, the performance is amazing compared to other software out there. I’m currently using the Community Edition, and the performance and overall suite of features are a great fit for my projects.

What do you dislike about the product?

My only real gripe with Ant Media Server right now is that adaptive bitrate streaming and the WebRTC codec aren’t available in the on-premise Community Edition. In this day and age, I consider that an essential capability for reaching lower-bitrate devices and connections, especially when the stream is being hosted on hardware the individual already owns.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a software engineering student who DJs, this allows me to build a custom streaming solution that’s independent of the big services like Twitch, YouTube, or Mixcloud. It gives me more control over my stream, including how it’s deployed.

What do you like best about the product?

Ant Media Server provides ultra-low latency streaming with native WebRTC support, which is critical for real-time interactive experiences. It is highly scalable, developer-friendly, and easy to deploy and integrate into existing systems. The documentation and APIs are clear, which reduces engineering effort and accelerates feature rollout.

What do you dislike about the product?

Advanced configurations can require technical expertise.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ant Media Server solved our challenges with high-latency streaming and scalability during peak traffic. With sub-second latency and stable performance, we can deliver reliable real-time video interactions, improve user engagement, and deploy new live features faster, ultimately boosting customer satisfaction and operator confidence.

What do you like best about the product?

It's incredibly versatile. I've been using the Community edition for a few years and have a wide variety of input sources. With a very small number of one-time configuration changes, the server has been able to handle them all with modest hardware. Having the ability to host our own instance on internal networks is extremely useful.

What do you dislike about the product?

I don't think there's anything that I necessarily dislike.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a good number of private streams that need to be hosted on internal, sandboxed networks. Ant Media Server allows us to do this quickly and easily.

What do you like best about the product?

The first thing its latency is very low . its show me almost realtime video and second best part it is very user friendly

What do you dislike about the product?

there nothing as dislike but Ant media server can introduce professional DRM integration to secure live stream.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

it is solving my live streaming major issue as there no such tool esay tool in market by which i can use without high technical knowledge. we can take classes upto 250 user with no issues.

What do you like best about the product?

Been using AMS for several years and have had great experiences with it. Our videos stream as expected. The server is easy to set up and manage.

What do you dislike about the product?

Initially figuring out how to set up camera streams, the documentation could be a little better on that. Once figured out they are easy to set up.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

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 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

What do you like best about the product?

Antmedia has been a perfect solution for our school with its videoconferencing solution, it has allowed us to maintain full control of our classes and infrastructure to provide better attention, 100% recommended, a reliable solution that is easy to use and implement. we are able to stream and share also our clases into multiple social networks and maintain our students and parents with all they need for his kids and share with our followers, we think main features we recommend are live stream into multiple social networks, conference solution for any event or implementation and all can be controlled by api helping us to implement any feature we want.

What do you dislike about the product?

as platform we cant complain maybe we need help with more developers to help new features to implement.

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.

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.

What do you like best about the product?

- Ability to multistream using your own server
- system of access control for various projects
- Possibility of free use with great functionality
- really good technical support
- easy to use interface
- There are detailed instructions for implementation on the server

What do you dislike about the product?

- In the beginning there were problems with some video formats sent to the stream. But with tech support offered solutions
- At the moment there is no graphical interface to start scheduled streams
- Sometimes streams just stopped. But we haven't found the reason yet, more likely just a rare bug
