It requires lot's of configuration between multiple AWS data services to use and analyze data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is another one of those extremely complicated AWS services to understand. What I love about it is how well it integrates with Pinpoint (another pretty good AWS service) and we used it to set up data streams to monitor user activity on campaigns, Marketing emails in real time. This provided some great data and the cost was pretty much negligible - so in that aspect (and data streams can do much more - I'm just using one of our main test cases as an example) it's a great service to use. But, pretty complex to set up and understand fully in my opinion.

Great and granular reporting though - one can really learn a lot about and benefit from knowing what users do on the site, after clicking emails, the entire workflow as it were if one takes the time to learn.

Amazon actively uses this service itself to prosper. That alone should tell you a lot! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Kinesis is powerful, it comes with a steep learning curve, especially for those not familiar with AWS or real-time data processing. Its cost structure can also be challenging to predict, as it is based on various factors like data volume, shard count, and data retention period. Without proper management and monitoring, costs can escalate quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
