Executive director

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.

Designer Web

It has great potential and used in combination with Kibana it proves a very good choice for fast and great search results.

President

The last month or more, most of our searches were spam bot searches for non-existent domain names. This made our reports really worthless.

Software Developer

Best search engine available, it's really powerful when combined with cloud solutions.

Lead

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

Developer

The process of refining the research is manual and slow. Bad documentation and need more usage examples.

It has given us the similar functionality with improved UI. The UI for optimizing the search is really easy to use yet powerful.

The customer service has been excellent and user-friendly.

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

Search Manager

It's an inexpensive solution that's easy to configure for searching of complex content like major support portals.

Elasticsearch is the best search engine available in the market, it's the state of the art for it's technology.

A server crash could result in a total. Loss of data, so it can’t be used to store important data.

Founder

It does what it needs to do, in that it provides predictable search results with the ability to tweak the search result rankings.

Senior Software Engineer

It is very easy to integrate with javascript projects because it stores data in json format. Querying is easy with lot of selectors and modifiers available.

System Analyst

Finally, in the elatic stack there is no module that crawls completely integrated.

Développeur web (Symfony/Drupal)

Learning ElasticSearch seems to be a bit more difficult than learning it's competitor, Solr.

Our products got better, we make good money and save our time.

It seemed to provide more accurate search results over time. Customer service concerning technical questions was good.

Totally regret the purchase of this software

Way to expensive to implement

An extremely powerful search engine

Helps bring clients to my door

I am extremely satisfied with Elasticsearch, its speed & querying capabilities among lots of data amaze me!

Blazing fast in searching through a lot of data!

Best search engine available

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.

Highly recommended for search platforms

Our overall experience with Swiftype was really negative. A big waste of our time and money. 
After waiting for them to follow up on our last conference call, we switched to Google Custom Search Engine. It turned out to be far less expensive than we thought.
Swiftype is a bad investment if you have lots of files to be indexed but far fewer monthly searches.
Google Custom Search now works well for us -- at a tiny fraction of Swiftype's annual cost.

We wish we had not subscribed to Swiftype.

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.

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

You know, for search!

High quality search engine tool

One stop solution for all the heavy search operations across huge set of data

Elastic-search is a distributed, Restful search and analytics engine.

I work with Elasticsearch as a developer on a daily bases for textual search. It is the greatest tool I've used in years. Really like it.

Best search engine on the market

A revolutionary tool for web applications

Best full text search engine

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.

Super powerful search engine for your Business.

Is great, easy implementation and configuration, just the requirements are a bit high.

Great to implement smart search functionality.

It's better than a big name solution we previously used for support content search. And a LOT less expensive.

Good for large content repositories

Highly scalable search functionality

Great alternative for Google Custom Search

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

Powerful tool to create a rich search engine experience

Avoid this product

We get to solve our search scalability problems on our on-premise product with the ease and consistency of Elasticsearch.

One of the best text-based search products in the marketing.

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

We power our search across many platforms using direct queries to swiftype.  Keeping search traffic off our servers reduces our API load, speeds our response times, and gives us flexibility.
