If you need rtmp multichannel rtmp streaming and don't want a $$$$$ bill monthly, Antmedia is 100% the right choice.

I would say 10/10 honestly, the ease of use, support, built in apis, recording options, s3 integration was all excellent. If your in a similar situation I would 100% recommend Antmedia.

PROS

I had a project that needed 6 channels live streaming 24/7 rtmp at hd. Costing it out, to use AWS or mux would have cost up to $4k usd in transcoding and ingest costs alone with was way to much for a small project like this. We opted to buy a second hand Dell r730, install unraid and install Antmedia, which basically paid itself back in less than a few months. This process was simple and honestly I spent more time working on the server set up, than Antmedia config. Support is also fantastic! I had two issues come up, the first was about the api I was using to manage recordings, and I got a detailed response/solution in less than a day. The second issue was with SSL support and again, extraordinary helpful and customer focused support and resolution. Overall, very glad to have gone with Antmedia over other options.

CONS

The api documentation could be a little more user friendly, but it's minor stuff really. I would like a unraid docker instance in the unraid community apps, to make install, updates and ssl management easier, rather than having manual management. Again it's a minor issue really, but would have been very helpful and easier to Antmedia as an option when researching.

Reason for choosing Ant Media Server

Cost was the deciding factor, buying a server, licence and install was cheaper than a few months transcoding and streaming with any of these services.

Ant MídiaServer is simply the best Live broadcast service with low cloud service consumption.

The best solution for my beginning work as a stream, low cost with high quality, the best of both worlds. Positive highlight for UpTime (no problems reported). AMS Support is excellent. I thank everyone for the support. Very active community, it makes a lot of difference. I simply had no problems with AMS.

PROS

Ease of live broadcast on multiple platforms, Youtube, X, Facebook. Excellent UPTime - No record of transmission failure in more than 3 months of transmitting live content to YouTube (Infinite Live). Low equipment consumption and cloud service (processing, memory and file system).

CONS

A more intuitive console for the end user.

Reasons for switching to Ant Media Server

OBS Studio machine consumption was very high and my cloud service did not support running it.

Great product! Lot of possibilities!

PROS

It's up to us to manage and we have access to a lot of configurations. The rest API is awesome for automation and integration with our backend.

CONS

The dashboard lacks some information. Like conference rooms, more configurations (we have access to them in config files or MongoDB), better log.

Reasons for switching to Ant Media Server

Because Vonage didn't support portrait mode in the live stream.

Good product! A futuristic media server and a streaming engine

We are very much satisfied with the product and the collaboration

PROS

As a Technology Alliance partner, we are satisfied with the collaboration and professional support from both Ant Media Server sales and support team. We leverage the Ant Media Server streaming functions as part of our highly scalable Cloud Video Surveillance and Storage solution. We could easily customize and extend the system based on our customer needs. The ultra-low latency with less than a sec latency streaming experience was commendable.

CONS

Though we faced few technical road blocks and high system memory issues during integration, the Ant Media Server team was kind enough to support us quickly.

Perfect for Homegrown Setups

I'm not sure I could ask for something easier to setup - the barrier to entry is quite low and I have successfully hosted ant media server for at least the last two years.

PROS

Easy to setup - the guides were informative, and the staff at the support desk quite responsive.

CONS

There are some elements of the webUI that did not lend themselves previously to ease of use, e.g. it was not always obvious to me (even as a tech person) how to setup stream keys intuitively - fortunately, the UI is simple enough that it only takes a few minutes of trial and error to safely and non-destructively figure out what's going on.

AntMedia would just be my default option in future

9.5/10 I can't complain

PROS

Ease of use, best value/price, reliability, low-latency

CONS

Monitoring capabilities. As the AntMedia is stable I don't see issues yet, but it would be even nicer if monitoring capabilites and integration of AntMedia can be developed more!

Best value for money while streaming ultra-low latency live videos

Ultra-low latency with adaptive bitrates is wonderful. Typical latency is around 0,5 seconds.

PROS

Adaptive bitrates are available on the fly while live streaming goes on. Very reasonable price compared to its competitors.

CONS

Documentation should be enriched. User manuals should be updated with actual versions.

Vendor Response

We are grateful for your encouraging comments. You inspired us to do better.

Best low latency server I tried

We're driving fine wine auctions all over the world. AntMedia is our partner to stream video through our livebidding app. Customers from Asia, Europe and US can attend in real time to the auctioneer video. Since the last developments, the lag has almost disappeared.

PROS

Performances of course, but before all the incredible level of support of the technical team.

CONS

I've been using the software from the early years, some little bugs had been encountered. They all have been corrected since.
