The search results are accurate and are fast. The analytics for what queries are not getting results and what documents get the most hits is nice.

It is (apart from the speed) quite unsophisticated. The entire model is geared to get you to pay more, more, more; which is a bit sad. Bug reports are countered with "we can only fix that on an enterprise server" (which is $1500+ per month).

API's are read only. No access to logs. No access to node level metrics. No frequent hourly backup schedule available. Customer support is worse. Every time they try to focus the attention on shards instead of trying to troubleshoot the issue.
