"Reliable, Secure Live Video Transport with Flexible Protocol Support"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Elemental MediaConnect?

AWS Elemental MediaConnect provides a reliable and secure way to transport live video streams over IP. I especially appreciate its support for protocols such as Zixi, SRT, and RTP, which gives it the flexibility to fit different broadcast workflows. The option to create redundant flows and maintain high availability is particularly valuable for mission-critical live channels. Its integration with other AWS services, including MediaLive, also helps keep the end-to-end workflow smooth and seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Elemental MediaConnect?

The initial setup and configuration can feel a bit complex for new users, particularly when it comes to networking, entitlements, and protocol settings. It may take some extra time to understand how these pieces fit together and to get everything configured correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Elemental MediaConnect?

Due to having been a “user” of the content and not a creator, I feel I likely didn't have enough usage to encounter something to dislike. Perhaps if I were one creating content it would be different. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Couldn’t be better"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Elemental MediaConnect?

So far, so good! My company uses this to upload videos for the employees or future employees. The quality is amazing, but of course I wouldn’t expect less from Amazon. It is so easy to make and upload the videos and you can easily store them in iCloud, to send out in the future. Another nice feature is that you can stream live, although we do not use that just yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Elemental MediaConnect?

I have yet to find anything that I dislike. The ease of this is through the roof! I have not run into any issues whatsoever. Contacting amazon IF there is an issue, is very easy and effective as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only used it for a month or so when I was attempting to break into video production. I have not really found any issues where I am bothered to the point that I can recall.
