Used for media streaming and live-streaming data

It is not compulsory to use Amazon Kinesis. If you don't want to use the data streaming, you can use just the Kinesis data firehose. Using the Kinesis data firehose is compulsory because we can't store all chats and recordings in Amazon S3 without it. When a call comes in the Amazon Kinesis instance, it will go to Data Streams if we use it. Otherwise, it will go to the Kinesis data firehose, where we need to define the S3 bucket path, and it will go to Amazon S3. So, without the Kinesis data firehose, we can't store all the chats and recordings in Amazon S3. Using Amazon Kinesis totally depends upon the user's requirements. If you want to use live streaming for the data lake or data analyst team, you need to use Amazon Kinesis. If you don't want to use it, you can directly use the Kinesis data firehose, which will be stored in Amazon S3. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

SaaS platform used by developers to store and conveniently search for logs

If a company has the budget and the log service is critical for them, I would say use Coralogix. It is a very good service for that. I would rate Coralogix an eight out of ten. It is an excellent service for storing logs for a long time. The capacity is unlimited for unindexed logs. The cost model is also very efficient because you pay for the ingested data per month. This can be compared to a solution like New Relic where you have to pay it upfront and cannot limit the data ingestion. Coralogix provides an easy way to search for logs and to visualize them. This a great feature because developers are constantly looking for or browsing logs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon Kinesis also provides us with plenty of flexibility."

"What turns out to be most valuable is its integration with Lambda functions because you can process the data as it comes in. As soon as data comes, you'll fire a Lambda function to process a trench of data."

"What I like about Amazon Kinesis is that it's very effective for small businesses. It's a well-managed solution with excellent reporting. Amazon Kinesis is also easy to use, and even a novice developer can work with it, versus Apache Kafka, which requires expertise."

"The solution has the capacity to store the data anywhere from one day to a week and provides limitless storage for us."

"The management and analytics are valuable features."

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

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

"The scalability is pretty good."

More Amazon Kinesis pros

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."

"The overall stability and reliability of Coralogix are excellent, and I rarely encounter issues."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."

"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."

"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."

"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."

"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."

More Coralogix pros

Cons

"In order to do a successful setup, the person handling the implementation needs to know the solution very well. You can't just come into it blind and with little to no experience."

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

"Kinesis Data Analytics needs to be improved somewhat. It's SQL based data but it is not as user friendly as MySQL or Athena tools."

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

"One thing that would be nice would be a policy for increasing the number of Kinesis streams because that's the one thing that's constant. You can change it in real time, but somebody has to change it, or you have to set some kind of meter. So, auto-scaling of adding and removing streams would be nice."

"We were charged high costs for the solution’s enhanced fan-out feature."

"Lacks first in, first out queuing."

"It would be beneficial if Amazon Kinesis provided document based support on the internet to be able to read the data from the Kinesis site."

More Amazon Kinesis cons

"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."

"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns."

"The documentation of the tool could be improved"

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."

"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."

"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."

More Coralogix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's entry price is cheap. However, pricing increases with data volume."

"Amazon Kinesis pricing is sometimes reasonable and sometimes could be better, depending on the planning, so it's a five out of ten for me."

"The pricing depends on the use cases and the level of usage. If you wanted to use Kinesis for different use cases, there's definitely a cheaper base cost involved. However, it's not entirely cheap, as different use cases might require different levels of Kinesis usage."

"The product falls on a bit of an expensive side."

"Amazon Kinesis is an expensive solution."

"I think for us, with Amazon Kinesis, if we have to set up our own Kafka or cluster, it will be very time-consuming. If one considers the aforementioned aspect, Amazon Kinesis is a cheap tool."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The solution's pricing is fair."

More Amazon Kinesis pricing and cost advice

"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."

"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
