Excellent experience with AMS
What do you like best about the product?
It works like it's supposed to. Relatively trouble-free for the three years we've been using it. Support is very responsive,
What do you dislike about the product?
I am somewhat concerned that it is based on Red5 core and since Red5 is no longer under development, there is a risk of technology stagnation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a major customer who likes our product and continues to use us after 4 years, even though there are many competitors out there trying to replace us in the account.

Ant Media's Services were Super Useful for Our EEE Capstone Project!
What do you like best about the product?
As senior METU EEE students, we used Ant Media's Ultra-Low Latency WebRTC Streaming Services for our senior year capstone project. In our project, we aimed to help blind people to navigate streets and crossings by capturing the real-time stream from the user's mobile device and processing the live stream in a cloud environment. For this purpose, we used Ant Media's Enterprise Edition Service.
+ We used the Android Java WebRTC Framework provided by Ant Media. The documentation was easy to follow and user-friendly. Moreover, the sample app included in the framework already allowed us to build further on that.
+ The data channel included in the framework was also valuable for sending and receiving various signals for our needs.
+ According to the results of our finalized project, the latency was well below 0.5 seconds in our case. The quality of the stream was very clear even without WiFi, and sufficient for real-time object detection.
+ Ant Media's support was beneficial throughout the project. They responded quickly to our emails.

What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, our user experience was satisfactory. If we were to be the devil's advocate, the installation procedure of the server in our domain was a little troublesome. It could be due to the fact that we did not have years of experience dealing with server installations and port configurations. However, the documentation regarding this procedure can be improved. Although the documentation is updated, outdated information can be found in various places when one searches online for troubleshooting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As we have mentioned before, we used the Ant Media Server for our senior year EEE capstone project. Having a low latency was crucial for real-time object detection. Furthermore, having a base Android sample app allowed us to go through and learn how the Android Java WebRTC Framework is used with all its methods.

The REST API documentation could have been better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AMS is good at building scalable live streaming solutions and supports WebRTC and HLS protocols.
It also supports video-on-demand with an Adaptive bit rate.
We are using AMS as an out-of-the-box solution rather than building the entire streaming infrastructure.

I have been using Ant Media Server for some time now and can confidently say it is the best streaming server available. The sales team is highly knowledgeable and helpful, the support team is always available to answer any questions, and the self-hosting platform is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. I have tried many other streaming servers, but none of them compare to the quality and reliability of Ant Media Server - it is worth the time and money.

I have tried many other streaming solutions, and Ant Media Server stands out due to its ability to effortlessly deliver a full range of services - from pay-per-view, live streaming, video-on-demand, simulcasting, and online TV broadcasting. Without hesitation, I would recommend Ant Media Server, as it will save time and money.

Ant Media is the best live streaming platform in the world
What do you like best about the product?
It's over three years since I started deploying Ant Media server for tens of clients. Ant Media as a platform offers streaming capabilities you need to optimize performance, scale the streaming infrastructure and deliver high-quality streaming to any size of the audience. I have deployed Ant Media for small and large projects, and my clients are always happy with it when I set it up for them.
Ant Media support team is undoubtedly the best support I've ever found. These guys are always there whenever you write to them if you need them to help you figure out something. One day I got a project to deploy an Ant-media cluster with over 100 auto-scaling server instances on AWS. And when I reached out to Ant Media support, these guys walked me through everything I needed. This truly touched my heart.

Easy to use, great customer support

What do you dislike about the product?
None so far, any issues we've had with AMS were quickly resolved in collaboration with their support.
In the coming "age of AI" it would be nice to have out-of-the-box integration with major PaaS providers' services from this area (e.g. to be able to configure sending a video stream's frames to AWS Kinesis, which the user can then connect to image processing services).

Antmeida really saves my time and cost
What do you like best about the product?
Most helpfull thing was that it was so easy and straightforward to install and deploy in production (In our case, we deployed on our demand severs). Documentation and support was very good.
And the monthly fixed cost pricing is really nice. Most of other solutions was too complicated and charge per hour.
