"Limited tool"

2/5

What do you like best about AWS Elemental MediaTailor?

I liked the ad-insertion capability of AWS MediaTailor. Basically this is why we tried to use it in our project. We were actively using AWS at that time, so aws integration was a huge benefit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Elemental MediaTailor?

Unfortunately, we couldn't use AWS mediaTailor in production as it only supports the English language. Also the pricing is really high. In our case we did the in-house implementation which was cheapier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Elemental MediaTailor solving and how is that benefiting you?

In our use case, we were planning to use AWS MediaTailor to monetize our videos by inserting tailored/customized ads based on users data. We ended up just implementing our own solution as AWS MediaTailor did not meet our requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
