Amazon Kinesis Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
AWS Cloud Architect at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees3.5I am using Amazon Kinesis for real-time streaming, drawn to its easy setup, comprehensive documentation, and seamless AWS integration. Its competitive pricing and KCL library documentation need improvement. We considered Kafka but preferred Kinesis for its ease and AWS compatibility.
Senior Engineering Consultant at ASSURANCE IQ, INC.4.5In our project, we utilize Amazon Kinesis for logging and temporary buffering, finding its scalability and ease of use valuable. It replaced direct API calls to data warehouses and seamlessly integrates with other analytical tools without needing additional features.
Senior Software Engineer at JPMorgan Chase & Co.4.0We use Amazon Kinesis for media and live-streaming data, valuing its real-time data streaming capabilities for call monitoring and transcripts. However, the two-minute time delay in live streaming could be improved. Our deployment is on AWS.
Data Engineer at Tiger Analytics4.5I use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams in my company similarly to Kafka topics. It's a managed service that handles automatic scaling, though it has hard limits leading to throughput errors. We consolidated multiple jobs into one to address this issue.
Director AWS at NeuraFlash India Pvt Ltd4.0We use Amazon Kinesis with Amazon Connect for voice and screen recording, valuing its VideoStream and DataStream features for real-time streaming. The product meets our needs effectively, requiring no improvements, and serves primarily developers and architects.
Solutions Architect & PMO at AS TV Play Baltics/TV3 Group4.0Our company uses Amazon Kinesis to integrate data into our data lake as part of our processing workflow. While it serves its primary purpose well, integrating AI for data processing would be beneficial. However, adding too many features may affect its efficacy.
Senior Director of Product Management at Sprinklr4.0I use Amazon Kinesis for data streaming, mainly to integrate with Redshift and Amazon Connect configurations. It's easy to configure and test but needs improvement in reducing delays, especially with Kinesis Video Streams, for seamless third-party integration.
Senior Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees3.5In my experience, Amazon Kinesis effectively provides real-time event streaming, especially by tracking silent events on endpoints. However, integrating Amazon Pinpoint or Amazon Connect as part of the service could enhance its usability instead of offering them separately.
