Served the purpose and added value to my work

  • October 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Provides solution for most of the search related use cases.
Ease of implementation is the best thing in elasticsearch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Loosing data while partitioning and no sql like query system to look for data. No layer above implementation for any solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Implemented seamless search for all the entities in our system. After successful implementation for entities data we implement for meta data and it did not find any performance setback.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This can work as basic and advance level of solution depending on the need. When it comes to searchable the Elasticseach is the best choice because of its ease of implementation and scalability.

Easy to use, hard to master

  • October 24, 2016

What do you like best about the product?
Elasticsearch is opensource, it just works out of the box, you throw some documents in elasticsearch and you can search on them. You get started in no time and the documentation is great for the most common of uses. The ELK stack is a great addition for logging.
What do you dislike about the product?
The query language is hard to master for advanced cases. I never needed advanced features but still I have spent a lot time with the documentation trying to solve my cases with trial and error. Elasticsearch needs more server resources than you average application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Elasticsearch provides us with a super fast search engine. We work with Amazon Elasticsearch Service, this allows us to easily scale. I takes away all infrastructure management. Elasticsearch works with a beautiful API so it can easily be integrated into any technology.

While the API interface is pretty straight forward, having deeply nested hashes can be a little cumbersome.

I use ElasticSearch for many tasks; geo queries, events, and standard full text searching.

Elastic search is a great tool for searching across a large body of documents.

  • May 31, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ES is easy to get up and get running. Building a multi node farm is also fairly easy. The community around Elastic Search is growing and very helpful if you reach out with questions as your getting setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
There seems to be some inconsistency when it comes to query performance. While initial setup of environments seems easy there are some gotchas that you really need to read through the documentation completely in order to avoid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are utilizing Elastic Search to build our Enterprise Search web application that searches across our internal employees, documents, and social content (blogs, microblogs, videos, etc).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pay attention and read through all of the documentation in the starter guide as well as the performance recommendations.

Great tool for search, but only search

  • May 11, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Search is fast and the RESTful API is easy to use, not to mention documentation is great and there is a sizable ElasticSearch community. ElasticSearch should be the go-to tool for anyone looking for a full-text search solution for their application.
What do you dislike about the product?
For anyone that came from a SQL background (like me), getting used to ElasticSearch can take some time. In particular, you need to know what an index, a cluster, nodes and shards are before you can decide the best configuration for your application. ElasticSearch is an open source tool with a paid support function if you'd like, but it's very expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need full text search for an integral part of our application, ElasticSearch has been a great tool for that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You'll likely spend a while learning ElasticSearch before you become comfortable with it. Depending on the application you use to incorporate ElasticSearch, there may be official libraries that help you get up to speed fast. For example, ElasticSearch has a ruby gem for Ruby on Rails users
