What do you like best about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

I have already used the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams page to buy things, so one of my favorite features of Amazon Kinesis Video Streams is that it has the same security system that protects my bank details from third parties when making payments. The security provided by this app seems excellent to me to avoid being victims of scams or fraudulent sales. Even as a merchant, providing services or selling products is made much more secure when you follow the security policies of the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams platform. It even has a refund system.Furthermore, most people can handle it easily, but just in case, the platform has a good base of information on its usage policies and that makes us all quite aware of the correct use and handling of the application. . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

We do not want to use plastics with debit or credit cards since the application links all our information registered with Amazon and you can decide with what to pay without problems. The really good thing is that it does not add any additional commission when I want to make my purchases through the app. Its main characteristic is that it is looking to the future and that must be applauded, since in the digital age it is normal for everything to be aimed at only having to pay using our phones and an internet connection.The times that are taken for the validation of accounts, sometimes tend to take a long time, it would be good to reduce those times, and more taking into account that it is a process that they carry out every time I add a new account, although I remain the only owner of all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Kinesis Video Streams:

My recommendation for the user is that they are encouraged to try this new way of making payments, either personally or in their stores, since nowadays everyone has smartphones, and for the developers of the Amazon Pay app , is that they look for a way to approach a little more of the international market, in that way they make life easier for many people who want to make purchases online and do not dare due to cyber security issues.It is extremely gratifying to be able to have a platform that is not only a means of payment, but that protects your identity or banking information from third parties, and also provides you with projection in possible cases of scams, that is why I encourage users to try to processing payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Kinesis Video Streams solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unfortunately for many, even this system is not widely accepted in all businesses or in a larger number of countries. This is a nuisance for those of us who want to buy or sell products internationally and it turns out that they have not yet implemented it in many places, being that this is an excellent tool from any point of view.Furthermore, most people can handle it easily, but just in case, the platform has a good base of information on its usage policies and that makes us all quite aware of the correct use and handling of the application. .

What do you like best about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

It seems to me that Amazon Kinesis Video Streams has a good payment control, in addition to allowing you to buy in a lot of online businesses that can be found inside and outside my country. The fact that I associate my cards and my payment accounts in a single account is very helpful when making purchases. I also consider that it is a great feature that donations can be made to various foundations through this payment platform. I think it is a very good idea that they not only work with businesses and that they have been encouraged by this type of charitable cause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

My favorite aspect of Amazon Kinesis Video Streams is that I can go shopping using Alexa. What an excellent idea that it is compatible and that it also helps us in those tasks since the transactions become faster and I can go shopping while I organize other things. In addition, it is important to note that buying with Amazon Pay will not generate an additional commission, that is good to be able to control the expenses of the purchases.Although the system is very fast for managing payments, unfortunately when a problem occurs with a transaction, the technical support staff is very slow to solve it. People in general have a lot of patience and a good deal, however, the management times should be faster and more if we are dealing with money issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Kinesis Video Streams:

I really like using this payment system for my online purchases. Also, I recommend the installation and adaptation of this payment processor for virtual stores because the vast majority of people are already familiar with this system and know how to use it, and it also has all the security that Amazon systems can offer so that people often place their trust and make more purchases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Kinesis Video Streams solving and how is that benefiting you?

Few negative aspects could I mention about this app, I just wish it was available in more online stores worldwide since that opens the possibility of being able to make my purchases safely online on any page you want. It would also be good if they were a little faster to solve problems with some transactions. Response times are sometimes very long.Amazon Kinesis Video Streams is a good tool for making purchases. I have used it and I have not had a problem with it, its main characteristic is that it offers speed in payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that I can re-play audiovisual content anytime I want in great quality.

What do you like best about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

We wanted to find a better way to stream conferences, talks, and anything we need to broadcast for student and staff activities and keep it centralized. We loved that it keeps everything organized and we are in control of the media that is presented to the staff, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

It took a bit of time to set-up and needed IT to complete the setup as it was not readily implementable from our HR end. Since it was new, we need additional time to understand the process, but it was easy with few hiccups since that time. However, the customer service behind this service desperately needs work. Simple questions were not terribly helpful, likely due to speaking with other countries when trying to resolve an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Kinesis Video Streams:

Definitely give it a try, worth seeing if it can support your team. It is definitely a one-of-a-kind software that could realize a lot of benefits for streamlining media and reducing lag-time with media demonstrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Kinesis Video Streams solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are still evaluating this new process for broadcasting and streaming, yet we have definitely streamlined this process and made board and staff meeting much more supported by technology and not relying on the staff in the room to ensure that it all goes smoothly.

What do you like best about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

What I find most helpful about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams is that it allows me to stream videos on all my devices such as the webcams in my home. It helps me also with the playback features so I can have the videos from my webcam stored securely. I was introduced to this software because it is being used at my work for video chats and I found it to be very effective and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

The least helpful things about the software is that there is not really a tutorial to help if you have any questions about how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Kinesis Video Streams solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use this software to do video chats with business partners that are out of state. We prefer this software over Skype because of all the features it offers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

AWS always managed to introduce new products that just make our lives easier. While working on a machine learning project, my team needed to ingest live data from multiple camera feed and do object detection. We didn't knew of any existing solution and would had to build one ourselves. With Amazon Kinesis Video Streams, we didn't have to do any of those.

It ingests video/audio/image data from multiple sources in real-time, hence it's scalable. We didn't run into any issues.

It allows to build real time batch processing applications, think of Amazon kinesis data streams and this works on the same level. With Amazon Kinesis Video Streams, our focus shifting in building the product rather than manage the infrastructure which we all know is tedious Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Kinesis Video Streams?

I used this service for one project and don't have much to compare it against and hence don't know many shortcomings. One thing for sure is this has a some good learning curve and since this is relatively new service, you won't find many blogs/ video tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Kinesis Video Streams:

I would surely say to try this once and since this a pay as you go model there is no need of substantial investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Kinesis Video Streams solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were trying to build a object detection task by ingesting data from multiple input sources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
