We need some better granular controls for ensuring the proper items are returned in a given order. The beginning level does not include any form of phone support, which is often needed to quickly resolve simple issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

The first thing I like is that it's open source. If it weren't, I wouldn't have used it. Distributed search was another thing which helped me choose elasticsearch. I love the fact that I have control over many aspects of this search engine, providing me opportunity to extend it the way I want and optimize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Documentation could be improved a lot. Some concepts of elasticsearch take time to learn. Improving documentation and creating hands on tutorial in virtual environment without setup will provide opportunity to get one familiar with the engine and make less mistakes.

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

It works, whenever you remember to force a crawl update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Does not directly integrate into Magento (so a single search, turns up as 8 search results, due to Magento's caching methods). The Analytics are completely out to lunch and inaccurate (you cannot exclude search queries by IP, so you cannot remove internally generated searches). Basically makes the Analytics useless. Too expensive for the results and lack of useable analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Installation is a little tricky and you are best to have the support of a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

The ability to shape and guide the returned results to ends that benefit your business model is well handled. Features in this area are what make Swiftype rise above simply replacing our Google services.

In the midst of set-up I've had the need to contact support and I always found them helpful and quick responding. Providing code samples and links to relevant resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

While Swiftype presents good value relative to their competitors it's still a bit uncomfortable getting used to a search service so much more expensive than Google. Again, not a Swiftype specific issue but just market reality.

Historically they used to have a low-cost tier for small WordPress sites and they've eliminated that from their model. I wish they still had that for my personal sites away from work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

full text search, statistical info on words, n-grams, bag of words occurrences, speed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

some feature like term vectors is limited at each node, so each node of your cluster has his own statistics.

if i delete, update a document statistics don' t change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Swiftype is easy to use in a variety of situations. For instance, our deployment required two different kinds of installing Swiftype and both were easy. In one case, we need it deployed as a Drupal widget. In another case, we need it written directly into the HTML for a different web property. Both cases were as simple as you could like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

The basic plan includes a search, with additional features costing additional money. There are some features that I would like but don't want to pay more for, or at least, pay for at the increases required. I do understand that this is business though. They might consider something of a middle ground. For instance, instead of paying extra to use synonyms, they might (1) include a bunch of misspellings as free synonyms so that users who search for 'secruity' get results for 'security'; (2) suggest synonyms based on analytic results; (3) allow X free-of-charge synonyms.

One thing I would change about the product is that I would add assistance for skinning or theming search results and the search bar. I'm pretty handy, so I figured out what I needed, but it would have been difficult for some people to re-theme the search results highlight color, for instance. A little guidance can go a long way.

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

I like that I can manage multiple sites. I like that I can control the results on searches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

It is a little glittchy. I can't click the back button when I am in result ranking or synonyms. Sometimes when I click the link to view a item and go back my results ranking goes back to its original state. This erases my progress sometimes even when I hit refresh. I also cannot find items that I know are on the website but are not on swiftype. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
