Ultra-low latency WebRTC is essential for the real-time interaction nature of our products. The flexibility and integration of Ant Media were impressive, as it integrated smoothly with our existing services. The AWS Marketplace deployment option removed the heavy lifting of infrastructure setup and maintenance, allowing our team to focus on product development.

I have used Cisco Meraki vMX dashboard's orchestration feature with this product. The Meraki dashboard helps manage our network effectively because it is quite easy; we manage ourselves very well. Performance-wise, there is no problem with Cisco Meraki vMX's integrated analytics for network performance, as my 70 to 80 customers use Cisco only. We do business with semi-enterprise customers, and there is no competition against Cisco except for the wireless solutions from Aruba. We find it easy to promote Cisco Meraki vMX because the centralized dashboard is there for management, and the customers accept it without any problem. From a sales point of view, it is easy to integrate, and nowadays, the 93 is also part of the Meraki desktop.

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

Pros

"Ant Media has allowed us to meet strict security and compliance standards required by our enterprise clients without sacrificing performance."
"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 is a powerful platform that delivers on its promise of low-latency, high-quality streaming."
"Valuable features include live streaming, event scheduling with the Ant Media Enterprise admin panel, and broadcast forwarding to social media platforms."
"It is easy to set up and integrate, and the support is excellent."
"Cisco Meraki vMX offers sufficient features for most customers; it is very easy to handle and proves very efficient, with the main advantages being the visibility it provides and the ease of administration."
"The most valuable features in Cisco Meraki vMX are easy deployment, an easy-to-read dashboard for information, and automatic load balancing for two circuits in the MX, which are the most important key features for our small business customers."
"The Meraki dashboard helps manage our network effectively because it is quite easy; we manage ourselves very well."
 

Cons

"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."
"Cisco Meraki vMX needs to improve its ability to configure complex policy-based routing."
"In comparison with Aruba, I find Aruba to be far better in terms of deployment, ClearPass, and everything, which is all very easy."
"It is not the strongest security solution, so if you want to have next-generation firewall features, you always need an additional component."
