"Trusted part of our pipeline"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ant Media Server?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ant Media Server?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streaming made easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Ant Media Server?

Ant Media Server has been my go-to streamer for several years now. Their technology (both front end and back end) is easy to navigate, easy to incorporate, and is rock-solid.

I run a droplet on my server. Getting Ant Media up and running was incredibly easy. Deployment only takes around 15 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ant Media Server?

As when dealing with any technology company, one needs to have a background in the product. At times dealing with the customer service can have a bit of a disconnect because the end user might not have the faculties to properly explain an issue to someone more versed in the service.

That being said - having a problem with the service would be an edge case. And this is an advanced platform that has customer service more directed toward power users - always a good thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We use Ant Media for all video calls made through our service platform. The result is very good."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ant Media Server?

The samples of usage are very useful and facilitate the process of creation of new models and possibilities.

The stream latency is very low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ant Media Server?

I've been using Ant Media for a few years at another company I worked for. And most of the times the answers given to the emails are very superficial and are not resolute or the answers are partial.

One more email is always needed. And, perhaps because of the time difference, each response takes at least 24 hours. In critical cases this is a problem if we consider 48 hours for the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
