Real-time streaming and seamless integration enhance workloads with room for competitive pricing improvements

Pros

"Amazon Kinesis is easy to get started with, provides good documentation, and has a multilang daemon interface that makes it programming-language agnostic."

Cons

"Amazon Kinesis could improve its pricing to be more competitive, especially for large volumes."

Pipeline setup is very simple

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is not difficult because we are using the tool on the cloud."

Cons

"The tool should focus on having an alert system rather than having to use a third-party solution."

Used for media streaming and live-streaming data

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Amazon Kinesis is real-time data streaming."

Cons

"The solution has a two-minute maximum time delay for live streaming, which could be reduced."

Available as a managed service that can be shared automatically

Pros

"There is no problem with the tool's stability."

Cons

"There are some kind of hard limits on Amazon Kinesis, and if you hit that, then you will get the throughput exceed error."

High-throughput streaming elevates real-time transcription capabilities

Pros

"The Kinesis VideoStream and DataStream are the most important features."

Cons

"There could be valid data in Kinesis that is not being processed, which affects stability. Although it rarely happens, this issue has been observed in many deployments, making it not completely stable."

Efficient Data Ingestion and good performance

Pros

"I find almost all features valuable, especially the timing and fast pace movement. "

Cons

"The price is not much cheaper. So, there is room for improvement in the pricing. "

Has a positive impact on operational efficiency and helps save costs

Pros

"The integration capabilities of the product are good."

Cons

"AI processing or cleaning up data would be nice since I don't think it is a feature in Amazon Kinesis right now."

Easy to activate and easy to test and set up

Pros

" I like the ease of use and how we can quickly get the configurations done, making it pretty straightforward and stable."

Cons

"For me, especially with video streams, there's sometimes a kind of delay when the data has to be pumped to other services. This delay could be improved in Kinesis, or especially the Kinesis Video Streams, which is being used for different use cases for Amazon Connect. With that improvement, a lot of other use cases of Amazon Connect integrating with third-party analytic tools would be easier. "
