Overall Satisfaction with Apache Maven
We use Maven in our build pipeline to download and include correct versions of third-party dependencies in our application. The ability to keep track of indirect dependencies greatly simplifies the management of third-party libraries, which our application depends on. Maven is also used to apply custom build steps when building our application.

Ant is useful if your build is heavily based on customs scripts running in the right order. Maven greatly simplifies the process to keep track of and download build dependencies compared with Apache Ant. If your build is based on multiple custom scripts running in a specific order there is a lot of overhead in Maven compared to Apache Ant.
