Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The feature that I've found most valuable is the replay. That is one of the most valuable in our business. We are business-to-business so replay was an important feature - being able to replay for 24 hours. That's an important feature.""The management and analytics are valuable features.""One of the best features of Amazon Kinesis is the multi-partition.""The scalability is pretty good.""Setting Amazon Kinesis up is quick and easy; it only takes a few minutes to configure the necessary settings and start using it.""The solution works well in rather sizable environments.""Great auto-scaling, auto-sharing, and auto-correction features.""The most valuable feature is that it has a pretty robust way of capturing things."

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. But to stop the process and restart a few weeks later when I have more data or more available of the client teams.""Could include features that make it easier to scale.""Something else to mention is that we use Kinesis with Lambda a lot and the fact that you can only connect one Stream to one Lambda, I find is a limiting factor. I would definitely recommend to remove that constraint.""Amazon Kinesis involved a more complex setup and configuration than Azure Event Hub.""If there were better documentation on optimal sharding strategies then it would be helpful.""I think the default settings are far too low.""Lacks first in, first out queuing.""Kinesis can be expensive, especially when dealing with large volumes of data."
