17 out of 18 Total Reviews for Amazon Elastic Transcoder
Amazon's transcoder is one of their simplest-to-use products but it packs a solid technical punch. It does require some knowledge to configure just right, but there are some sensible defaults as well, so you don't need to dive too deeply into the details if you don't want to. And the integration with S3 makes it super easy to get assets in and out of the transcoder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI can be a little confusing to use at times; if you don't use a default all the way through, sometimes it can take a few test-runs to get your settings dialed in right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use in terms of transcoding in various formats and sending it out to team collaborators Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Price could be better. It’s pretty expensive for me but gets the job done Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that you can create pre-defined templates for transcoding that can be attached to an SNS which notifies the transcoder to kick off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's not much not to like. The only thing I would like to see is maybe a more intuitive way to make connections between the transcoder template and the queue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that Elastic Transcoder is fully integrated into our AWS workflow. And it's FAST. The same AWS credentials I use for S3 work for Elastic Transcoder, so there is less configuration you have to keep track of. Also, it supports all the essential codecs including MP4, WMV, and WEBM.

I don't like that Elastic Transcoder doesn't support adaptive bit rate (ABR) encoding. Apple requires HLS when we serve clips from our iOS app. We use AWS MediaEncode also to build our ABR profiles. The problem is we need both services to get everything we need.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that it's easy to convert media files and view them on any device. This makes running from meeting to meeting so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The effectiveness of this software so far from what I have heard. They use this system a lot in the labs which include the many technicians. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have not worked with the system enough to know if it works or not. When the company implemented , I was moving to a different area of the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is about as easy as it comes in terms of finding the best way to get files from the media library and onto the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
