Live streaming workflow has simplified setup and now streams browser-based video to multiple platforms
Ant Media offers many features that depend on the version you choose. When using the beginner and professional versions, those features are related to your payment plan. When using a beginner or lower level, the features involve streaming data, FPS, data file from the image, image resolution, image quality, and other components you need to send from WebRTC to Ant Media. Those configurations are available in Ant Media and show how you want to send those media to YouTube. These are the best features, but you need to pay more to get better functionality or better resolution. When using a development level, such as dev, UAT, and production environments, while testing, you do not have all the features and you do not have higher quality when sending the data. When you pay more and have a paid version of Ant Media, they will provide you with the best quality for how you want to send the data to YouTube or elsewhere. This is the basic principle: when you pay more, you receive better resolution. Ant Media is configurable from the web using WebRTC. If I want to do a live streaming project, I would have to create a Flutter application on Android or iOS, but with Ant Media, I can integrate from the browser itself. I only have to pass the Ant Media endpoint API to a Chrome browser from WebRTC. It is easily configurable, and my organization works on live streaming projects. This is the best way to use Ant Media because you can integrate your simplest or quickest version when you have a deadline or specific live streaming needs. It basically saves time. Previously, we were creating our own web server and media server. We no longer need that media server and can just use Ant Media directly. There is no doubt that we are paying for Ant Media, but once you acquire users, they start using your website and start WebRTC live streaming through your application. You increase your customer base, and then you can move to a paid version. Ultimately, Ant Media saves your time, money, and the cost of buying a separate web server or media server. Instead of that investment, use Ant Media, get the endpoint, configure it, and do the live streaming.

Efficient data integration and good automation with challenging configurability
The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met. The application also lacks capabilities within its terminal commands that are not available in their GUI. It requires a lot of configurability, which could be streamlined for an enterprise application user.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Valuable features include live streaming, event scheduling with the Ant Media Enterprise admin panel, and broadcast forwarding to social media platforms."
"We tried other streaming services, but Ant Media provided us with the most reliable and affordable services."
"Ant Media is a powerful platform that delivers on its promise of low-latency, high-quality streaming."
"AMS allowed us to integrate a streaming platform into our solution fairly easily, with great support from a very accessible developer and company."
"The web dashboard is clean and easy to work with."
"Ant Media has allowed us to meet strict security and compliance standards required by our enterprise clients without sacrificing performance."
"Ultimately, Ant Media saves your time, money, and the cost of buying a separate web server or media server."
"It is easy to set up and integrate, and the support is excellent."
"The crawler agents they provide, as well as TetraScience exclusive parsers, allow for specific instruments that we use in our labs with proprietary formats to extract data and put it into more standard formats for various purposes."
"The ingestion engines were pretty good."
 

Cons

"Ant Media needs many improvements. Sometimes I am not getting proper video resolution, and it is lagging."
"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."
"The documentation is generally good, but more deep-dive examples for complex, custom edge-case configurations would be helpful for advanced developers."
"The product could be improved by adding VPN support and offering a local push feature in the free version."
"While the streaming performance is excellent, the pricing could be more accessible for small teams or markets with limited resources."
"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."
"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."
