Real-time streaming has boosted live events and reduces infrastructure work for our team
The minor improvements needed are for the documentation. Overall, it's a solid solution. I don't have any complaints about Ant Media. It's great. I recommend clearly defining your streaming requirements before implementation. Spend time understanding WebRTC basics as well. Proper configuration makes a big difference in performance. Once it's set up, it works very efficiently. My final thought is that Ant Media is a reliable and efficient solution for real-time streaming. It simplified complex streaming challenges and delivers strong performance. For teams working on live video applications, it's definitely worth considering. It made a real impact for us. I rate this product an 8.5 out of 10 overall.

Visual workflows have accelerated our agent POC while better UI and observability still need work
My personal experience with Dify's UI is that it is not my favorite, as it can be improved a little bit, and sometimes the UI feels a little bit buggy. I am not sure if that is because it was a self-hosted version. The documentation can also be improved a little bit more. I think not a lot of people are using Dify currently, so that is why the documentation is not very great. If the documentation was improved, that would also be a really good thing. Currently, Dify could improve by offering better observability like other platforms. We currently use OpenAI Agents SDK, which requires you to build everything by code, but the observability is really good. It has OpenAI Traces, and you can basically trace everything for a conversation. If Dify had that kind of tracing functionality, that would be great.

Pros

"AMS allowed us to integrate a streaming platform into our solution fairly easily, with great support from a very accessible developer and company."
"My final thought is that Ant Media is a reliable and efficient solution for real-time streaming."
"The web dashboard is clean and easy to work with."
"We tried other streaming services, but Ant Media provided us with the most reliable and affordable services."
"It is easy to set up and integrate, and the support is excellent."
"Ant Media is a powerful platform that delivers on its promise of low-latency, high-quality streaming."
"Ant Media has allowed us to meet strict security and compliance standards required by our enterprise clients without sacrificing performance."
"Valuable features include live streaming, event scheduling with the Ant Media Enterprise admin panel, and broadcast forwarding to social media platforms."
"Considering the pricing, I would rate Dify a seven on a scale from one to ten, but for usability, use case, and feasibility, I would give it a ten, as it surpasses both Zapier and N8N."
"Using Dify has positively impacted our organization because we were able to cut down on some development time and do a lot of testing in a very small time period."
"With the AI-powered data analysis we built, we achieve cost savings since we do not need to hire a person specialized in data analysis."
"Dify has positively impacted the organization because accuracy has been improved, and the time and complexity in flows that were manual are now automated, from HR automation to ERP level transactions, including subscription management in the SaaS application, monitoring, and analytics."
"I have been using Dify as a powerful tool for AI automation for more than 1.5 years, and I appreciate its model-agnostic approach that allows easily swapping AI models like OpenAI and Anthropic."
"Using Dify has positively impacted our organization because we were able to cut down on some development time and do a lot of testing in a very small time period."
"Since I have used Dify personally, I have noticed ways it has made my workflow and research easier, saving me time and helping me find answers more quickly."
 

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."
"More detailed debugging guides would be a real help, especially in detailing WebRTC issues."
"The documentation is generally good, but more deep-dive examples for complex, custom edge-case configurations would be helpful for advanced developers."
"One of the main concerns that we had is that it might not be very scalable because we are hosting it in a self-hosted environment, and we have to configure the architecture and everything."
"Dify can be improved by adding features such as an end loop or exit loop capability, similar to options available in N8N and Zapier, to make workflow completion easier without needing to select additional outputs and understand complex steps, which can be time-consuming."
"The only improvement would be if Dify provided an SMTP server that could be connected to automate Dify workflow management, as that would be a great option."
"Dify is missing a few features which could be improved by polishing the website and creating a more attractive experience with motion graphics."
"Dify does not appear to handle larger workloads well regarding its scalability."
"One of the main concerns that we had is that it might not be very scalable because we are hosting it in a self-hosted environment, and we have to configure the architecture and everything."
