"Stable and scalable OpenSearch solution"
What do you like best about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

We've been using AWS OpenSearch Service for the last 5 years and it has proved to be very reliable. It has a very high availability and we don't need to worry about any infrastructure management. AWS also provides a great support whenever we need and they keep updating it frequently. I can see that they're backing the development with a big team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

The only problem is the vendor lock-in, which means that we can't use it on the same cloud that we have a contract. They're also a smaller team compared to Elastic and there's a risk that Amazon will stop investing in it as it's not their core business. They're a bit unflexible with the instance types and the instance reserve is different than EC2s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hassle free"
What do you like best about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

Backwards compatible with elastic search and supports live tailing and dashboards.

Since moving to the aws solution we've not had to change the underlying instance types and maintaining them.

AWS provides quick support if you have a business support plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

It would be nice if they could manage the instances we use to host logstash giving the user an end point to send the logs and allowing us to maintain the config of logstash. Some live ui editors would be good here too.

Taking in logs from cloudwatch would be nicer if you could set a filter before sending it into opensearch.

Doesn't support gp3 storage last time I checked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazon OpenSearch Service experience"
What do you like best about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

After using Amazon OpenSearch Service for a short time love that it offers ease of use, scalability, high availability, and automated management, allowing developers such as myself to focus on building search and analytics solutions without the hassle of infrastructure management.Also integration into the AWS ecosystem and strong security measures which is very important to me as I work a lot with real user data, Amazon OpenSearch Service provides a convenient and secure way to leverage the power of OpenSearch for data processing and analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

I have faced some issues that are mainly on the cost side. A lot of time cost analysis has to be done to reduce the expenditure. A few more points are not important but include limitations on customization compared to self-hosted deployments and the dependency on the service's availability and also not too accessible or integrate able to other opensource services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best in segment with zero ops requirement"
What do you like best about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

It is pretty easy to set up and works out of the box. We use it for multiple purposes, and the best part is it requires zero ops, and we can just configure it from the console and start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

The one part we don't like is as it doesn't require any ops. It can be a problem like the case when there is an issue with one of the nodes, and nither can you restart the node nor can you replace it directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reviewing Open Search Service from Amazon"
What do you like best about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

The fact that its an open source and distributed search and analytics engine that is used to search analyse and visualise data in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon OpenSearch Service?

It is currently difficult to migrate away from the service if organisation on some day decides to switch on to another provider or search engine, also I feel open search can be complex to set up and configure especially if you do not have experience with and search and analytics engines.
