Cons
"Snapshot from the the from the the stream of the data analytic I have already on the cloud, do a snapshot to not to make great or to get the data out size of the web service.

So, there is room for improvement in the pricing.""I think the default settings are far too low.""I suggest integrating additional features, such as incorporating Amazon Pinpoint or Amazon Connect as bundled offerings, rather than deploying them as separate services.""There are certain shortcomings in the machine learning capacity offered by the product, making it an area where improvements are required.""The services which are described in the documentation could use some visual presentation because for someone who is new to the solution the documentation is not easy to follow or beginner friendly and can leave a person feeling helpless.""Kinesis is good for Amazon Cloud but not as suitable for other cloud vendors."
