"Searching Became Efficient With Elastic Search"
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

As I have already had the title as Searching made easy with Elastic search. The important part of it is that it stores the data in a file and thus makes the search more efficient and faster. We can search the table columns, we can also search for the specific text present in the document in a very faster way. but it would have become difficult in the case of relational DB's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

The thing I do not like is that it takes more time to sync the records. Suppose if I wanted to process say 10k records then it takes more time to sync the docs. Thus it shows some kind of inconsistency between data, but after sometime when we refresh, it shows the correct data.

Shard failures occurs so that become difficult to solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Elasticsearch is easy to set up and provides searchers with the results they are looking for"
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Setup is a snap. With some JavaScript and an HTML tag, you can be up and running in no time. Administration and analytics is also intuitive, making training optional for marketing staff that want to analyze data right away. It allows you to weight your search, add synonyms, examine useful insights and extend with engagement modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

There's nothing to dislike. Elasticsearch can be extended in many different ways, and some of them, like adding images to search, will require learning how to properly tag content and allocating time to add those tags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Blazing fast search engine, but a steep learning curve"
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Speed! ElasticSearch is FAST. It is also flexible. You can create very complex index structures, with filters, aggregations, vast array of sorting options, structuring your documents in a 'noSQL' way and deploy it either on one node or multiple nodes for performance and spreading the load across multiple devices. It works on a local server as well as in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

It is hard to get started with the syntax, the DSL, understanding the intricacies. I also don't like that they deprecate things too fast. Before you can learn how everything works and you manage to implement it, a new version comes out and some of the features are deprecated. The syntax is quite hard to get a hold of and knowing where everything goes is a challenge when you are starting out. The documentation on the website is quite hard to navigate, most of the time you find yourself on the wrong version and the examples don't apply. Many times, the examples are out of date and do not work, even if you are on the correct version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Search your index at a blazing fast response times with Elastic"
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Elasticsearch works on Lucene which makes it perform searches on the index/metadata available. It is also good enough to perform an analysis of the searched content.

"Swiftype as a unique experience for enterprise search managers."
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Most of its functionalities are totally flexible, in every aspect relatively known and frequently used by the users that govern these software installations, including its initiative stage in any platform in which it is going to be integrated, to get I take advantage of its very collaborative tools, which allow easier and more fluid access, including that its support system is very bold and strong, since it offers the precise and necessary answers, for the problems that arise with this program, with a rapidity extraordinary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

There are drastically no configuration options to index documents made from word or any PDF format, mostly to customize them to our most conducive and demanding environments, which we want to capture in the system, which is a problem that is not intended for the complete comfort of users who stay on this platform, highlighting that it would be quite useful if this function is available for familiar personal use.

"A quick search with Swiftype."
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

This software is a sophisticated and understandable tool in most of its collaborative efforts that it has designed in its programming, I mainly like Swiftype since it is a very powerful fluid administrator and provider, in other aspects we could consider that it is the best in its class, when we address information issues that it offers in large proportions to all establishments that come to integrate this system into their platforms, including large companies, thanks to its rapid and effective development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

It should be determined that this software, although it has incredible tools that promote good operation, we can highlight that these virtues have a negative aspect, and this is that it is expensive in each function it has designed, which is not appropriate for companies low category in work performance, mainly due to the simple fact that they cannot meet the constant payment established by Swiftype, being a minimal problem, which does not affect their processes, but economically on a large scale.

"Versatile search manager tool adaptable to whatever environment you engage in."
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

It should be noted that the interface that it contains in all the search managers that the software has, are totally incredible, since it contains information quite relevant to what the system is based on, in terms of functions, transmitting a modern and luxurious appearance to at the same time, so that large companies can focus on this multi functional service, naming certain keywords on their home page that make the content shorter, but at the same time more powerful, which I love unlimited when viewing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

We can critically determine that Swiftype contains very high costs, which can be a fairly significant problem, since each package with different and improved functionality contains a different cost each, which could be a margin of availability for companies with a smaller development, that is, it does not reach the financial monthly payments that the software requires for its operation on a particular platform.
