We use MediaPackage for producing live streaming content. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chuiyuan M. | Lecturer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2023 **What do you like best about AWS Elemental MediaPackage?** We use MediaLive to capture live input streams and pipe them through MediaPackage, which then distributes the content to end users via its endpoints. This process is pretty seamless and reliable. We enjoy the experience so far! **What do you dislike about AWS Elemental MediaPackage?** We tried to pipe video assets from S3 to MediaPackage to serve fixed-media content, but that process isn't very straightforward and the automation took more effort than necessary. Apparently the MediaPackage is also very sensitive about the asset format, so we gave up on that. It would be ideal to unify live streaming and media assets with MediaPackage though. **What problems is AWS Elemental MediaPackage solving and how is that benefiting you?** It lets us pipe live video content (RTMP) to end users in a scalable fashion. The APIs are easy to use too, so our custom-built system can create & delete MediaLive + MediaPackage pairs fairly easily and reliably. ### 2.

There are different features with DRM purposes as well. **What do you dislike about AWS Elemental MediaPackage?** It needs to support more formats. There should be more documents and articles. The potential customer doesn't know what it is properly. So they don't consider this service for their projects. **What problems is AWS Elemental MediaPackage solving and how is that benefiting you?** Limited on-prem appliances issue a showstopper when the customer receives a bunch of different format videos. This service can handle all of them on short notice. ### 3.
