Pros:

Auto corrections on several languages Instant search Synonyms search Is amazing, the search of my app works awesomely.

Cons:

Is based on Java and that might cripple your low end machine or server, is better to run it on a cloud instance like AWS Elastic Search.

Highly recommended for search platforms

Setting up a search platform using Elasticsearch was super fun and easy. I was able to get some great search query response times and development efforts were minimal compared to dealing with Lucene directly.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

It's a great tool to setup a search platform almost of any size in a company. I have worked with Apache Lucene and Elasticsearch just saves all that trouble of dealing with the indices all the time in Lucene and rather provides seamless integration through APIs for search queries. It was really easy to setup the cluster and shards and manage the stack. The APIs offer a wide range of search features and saves a lot of effort coding hundreds of line for every small advanced search filtering function.

Cons:

The documentation of the APIs could be improved. It was a bit overwhelming at times to lookup the correct functionality we wanted to actually implement. The tutorials and courses are quite expensive.

Pros:

It is just the best back end for search engines in the market. A NoSQL database that is trustworthy. Also, it is open source. Incredibly easy to use.

Cons:

Mostly for developers: other people would have a hard time with it.

Reasons for choosing Elastic Enterprise Search

Elasticsearch is basically the standard of the market. Much easier to set up, maintain and extend than Solr. And it is an open source software, unlike Algolia.

Elastic Search is built on top of Lucene, it provides the most powerful full-text search capability

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Easier to horizontally scale Distributed by design Excellent full-text search Elastic Search is schema free'instead, it accepts JSON documents, as well as tries to detect the data structure, index the data, and make it searchable. Elastic Search is document-oriented. It stores real world complex entities as structured JSON documents and indexes all fields by default, with a higher performance result. Elastic Search is API driven; actions can be performed using a simple Restful API. Elastic Search records any changes made in transactions logs on multiple nodes in the cluster to minimize the chance of data loss.

Cons:

Elastic-search query DSL is less common and less flexible than Postgres SQL . Everything is indexed by default, which creates an index overhead. in order to understand how to properly query your data and how it is stored, you have less control over consistency.

A revolutionary tool for web applications

By using RoR as a platform we use wrappers developed by Elasticsearch. This is a great, well-documented solution for a quick start, a great help to the developers.

Pros:

As a web developer, I have been looking for opportunities to make our apps better, smarter and more developed. Elasticsearch made a revolution in our business by providing complex filtration systems and search, which weren't easy to implement previously: too much code and server consumption. Our products got better, we make good money and save our time.

Cons:

I still haven't figure the implementation of replication and clusterization of Elasticsearch, but maybe it is a lack of information.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

easy to set up and configure .

Cons:

Unfortunately, and this is VERY SERIOUS, we have noticed that the search results returned by Switftype are incorrect. Some of the results that it SHOULD BE including for a given user keyword request are NOT included and some of the results that it IS including DO NOT match the keyword request. We have worked with their technical support to no avail. Unless you test your search results carefully, you wont notice this very serious flaw in the product. Given that creating the correct set of search results is the basic function of this kind of product, this flaw means that Swiftype is unusable. We are now in the process of converting to another product.
