Strong management panel integration enhances the auction experience
Reviewed on Jul 02, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
I use Ant Media for auctions.
How has it helped my organization?
It creates an emotion that feels almost like being in a traditional in-person auction.
What is most valuable?
Their management panel is easy to integrate and was straightforward to implement into our own auction dashboard.
What needs improvement?
While the streaming performance is excellent, the pricing could be more accessible for small teams or markets with limited resources.
It would also be helpful to have a more customizable and ready-to-use WebRTC publishing interface, making it easier to integrate browser-based live streams without relying on external tools.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for some months.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I didn’t use a different product before.
I chose Ant Media from the beginning because of its focus on low-latency streaming and built-in WebRTC support, which are essential for live auction events.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Ant Media delivers strong performance and powerful features, but I would advise others to carefully evaluate the pricing based on their use case and frequency of events.
For large-scale or frequent streaming, the value is clear. However, for smaller markets or occasional events, the cost can become a challenge unless well justified by audience size or revenue.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not consider alternate solutions.
What other advice do I have?
Ant Media is a powerful platform that delivers on its promise of low-latency, high-quality streaming. The technology is solid, and the support team is responsive.
My only advice would be to consider offering more flexible pricing tiers or pay-per-use options to make it more accessible for smaller-scale projects or emerging markets.
I look forward to seeing how the platform evolves.

I’ve been using Ant Media Server and I must say I’m really impressed with their service. One of the things I appreciate the most is their excellent support — the team is always responsive, helpful, and quick to assist whenever I face any issue.
The platform itself is very easy to work with, even for complex streaming projects. Thanks to Ant Media Server, I was able to successfully build and deploy a streaming project for my classroom, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best projects we have validated so far!
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly streaming solution.

Review provided by G2
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?
