Amazon OpenSearch Service Reviews & Product Details

I find Amazon OpenSearch Service very effective for centralized log management and search analytics. It helps us by aggregating application logs, infrastructure metrics, and operational events into a centralized platform, allowing teams to quickly search, analyze, and troubleshoot issues, significantly reducing debugging time. The usability of Amazon OpenSearch Service improves our team's operational efficiency by centralizing logs, monitoring, and read and search capabilities into a single platform, making it easy to search and filter issues through dashboards and queries. It enhances collaboration among different teams, such as developers and support engineers, as they work from the same operational data. The dashboarding and visualization feature also makes operational metrics easier to understand in real time for nontechnical stakeholders. Moreover, Amazon OpenSearch Service offers better integration with our AWS environment, improved scalability for cloud-native workloads, and lower operational costs for large-scale log storage compared to our previous solution.

Cluster during indexing strategies and storage optimization can become complex for large environments. Cost can also increase significantly if indexing and retention policies are not properly handled. Index management and cluster optimization can require expertise, especially for high volume logging environments. Basic setup is relatively easy, but scaling clusters and optimizing index strategies for production workloads require experience and is complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Amazon OpenSearch Service for its scalability and managed nature, which removes the overhead of maintaining search infrastructure. Near real-time search and powerful indexing are standout features. I appreciate the seamless integration with other AWS services, which makes data ingestion and processing more efficient and reliable. OpenSearch Dashboards are also a highlight, as they make it easy to visualize logs and gain actionable insights quickly. Switching from a self-managed Elasticsearch setup to Amazon OpenSearch Service has helped reduce operational overhead, improve scalability, and leverage the fully managed environment.

While it’s a powerful service, cluster management and tuning can still be complex, especially for larger workloads. Costs can increase quickly with scaling, and performance optimization requires a good understanding of indexing and shard strategies. Also, some advanced features and version upgrades could be more seamless and better documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great stability, good performance and ease of upgrading and updating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a little hard to monitor what is happening inside a domain at an index level compared to third-party tools. However, the AWS Insights tool is improving this aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great tool to search, view, and analyze data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The view is not so informative and should be descriptive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 neither can you restart the node nor can you replace it directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easiness to use, features, the frequency it can be used and integrate and implement. The customer support is fast and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were no downsides found up to date Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Along with other AWS tools and platform having integration or support of amazon opensearch for AWS elastic search and business operations features are great such as log events, search options and search analytical dashboards and variety of files/text support.

Can't see anything for this tool and this Amazon service till now. Good support and getting start documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
