Great solution for implementing searching over vast amount of data!!

Elasticsearch helps in performing optimised searching over the vast amount of data present in your system. The configuration for Elasticsearch can have some learning curve, but once setup completely, the indexed searches are really fast as compared to other basic solutions and helps users in searching your system from vast amount of data. Its ideal for Big data and can be used in other e-commerce solutions also. Text searching is really fast and helps your system in maintaining performance and scalability over search operations.

Pros:

Elasticsearch is a great solution for implementing optimised searches over the data you have lying in your databases. The setup and configuration is a bit tricky, but once you have configured the data points and the indexes, the search is lighting fast. You can go for the complete text search or for the autocomplete bases suggestions which can help your users to quickly search for the right things in your system.

Cons:

The setup of Elasticsearch does have a learning curve for the developers, but the documentation is really helpful in getting you over the curve. Setting up indexes or data points for search can be tricky. Elasticsearch needs to setup a more proactive customer support so that developers who are facing deadlines, can easily sort their issues with the help of tech support.

Pros:

The fact that Elasticsearch offers really efficient & quick querying of data without a compromise on the different range of queries it can support is really awesome, also Elasticsearch can rank matching documents based on matching criteria which is also very useful. Elasticsearch also handles distributed queries very efficiently.

Cons:

Reindexing documents can be a real pain if there is a major change in the schema, otherwise no complaints.

Reasons for choosing Elastic Enterprise Search

Elasticsearch has more features, a good user community, and suited our needs better, therefore we selected Elasticsearch.

An extremely powerful search engine

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Elastic search has completely changed how we can fetch and visualize our customer's data. With the advanced text indexing, we can easily build a text search engine which gives accurate results. The powerful query format allows us to construct complex queries from deep filter trees and aggregate data in any way we want. Most importantly, all of this is extemely fast - giving results within milliseconds when working with complex queries on milions of documents. If performance ever becomes a problem, Elastic search is easily horizontally scalable and therefore future-proof.

Cons:

One critical thing I'm missing is a proper way of handling migrations. If you for example need to change the format of indexed documents - and therefore the mapping, you need to develop your own way of programatically handling the reindexing - or do it manually.

Pros:

As a backend developer, I know for a fact that I can rely upon elasticsearch for all the times when I have to support search based on string across the database. You throw some set of documents to elasticseatch, and you are good to go to search anything amongst the provided documents. They have some supercool features to support string based search for say support for distributed systems, support for aggregations and analysers & folding, etc. The documentation out there makes it lot easier to get going with it :)

Cons:

The memory optimisation related issues could be alarming sometimes if not taken care of properly. You may end up having some weird system crashes.

High quality search engine tool

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Easy to get started, fast with basically no optimization. It can handle massive amounts of data without breaking a sweat.

Cons:

Getting data INTO Elasticsearch can be tricky, depending on the source. Version 7 fixes a lot of these issues, however. Licensing is less than ideal, too: many useful features are locked behind a paid support license, and the open source version is receiving fewer and fewer new features.

Super powerful search engine for your Business.

A bit hard at first, specially tweaking the queries & indexes to get just what we needed from it. But after that, it has been a very reliable tool that we use everyday.

Pros:

ElasticSearch provides some of the mos accurate & fast search results of the market. We moved from a Sphinx installation into ES and have never looked back. Multiple indexes, lots of querying options & great support from tooling.

Cons:

Can be a bit hard to get into at first. However, the product is very well documented, so you just need to invest some time in their docs.

Pros:

We used Google Custom Search and were really disappointed when Google dropped paid support. We changed to Swiftype and are very happy. It has given us the similar functionality with improved UI. The UI for optimizing the search is really easy to use yet powerful.

Cons:

Unlike Google, Swiftype does not have indexes ready to go. As a result, when you add a new site to the search set, it takes some time to index the site. Its understandable but using Google was really simple.

If you worked in a big online store on the analytics side you can really understand the hard work that this software is doing, and the value that it adds to your conversion rate. It has great potential and used in combination with Kibana it proves a very good choice for fast and great search results.

Cons:

Powerful tool to create a rich search engine experience

Developing a powerful and a fast search engine, dealing with content coming from various data sources, inside our website.

Ease of use

Pros:

ElasticSearch, as of Solr, is the right tool if you want to create a powerful search engine inside an application or a website. Indexing documents can be done through a REST API, as for querying data. Most of the modern frameworks and content management systems can ship with modules that interact with ElasticSearch to index and retrieve documents. For most complex systems, you can implement synonyms, auto-completion, auto-correction (using fuzzy search), and also configure how results should be sorted using a full text search. Searching with complicated parameters is really fast using ElasticSearch, and you can also retrieve facets to display to restrict results when needed.

Cons:

Learning ElasticSearch seems to be a bit more difficult than learning it's competitor, Solr. In my experience, Solr has a better support for Drupal CMS which we use a lot in my company. But our last project using ElasticSearch was a success, thanks to all it's powerful features.
