"Simple UI, Seamless Integrations, and Strong Elasticsearch Performance"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

I like the UI and UX, its design look simple so the new person also can operate the Elasticsearch. The integration feature built in is compatible with many products. I am using at least 4 years and I think the performance is more better than any product for data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Impressive Speed and Powerful Near Real-Time Search with Elasticsearch"
5/5
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Elasticsearch delivers impressive search speed and strong performance, even when working with massive datasets. Its near real-time search capability, combined with powerful full-text search features, makes it a key part of our data infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Elasticsearch can be quite resource-intensive, particularly when it comes to RAM usage. For smaller infrastructure setups, managing JVM heap sizes and making sure the cluster has sufficient memory can quickly become a bit of a headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Elasticsearch unifies multi-platform insights with powerful log search"
5/5
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Elasticsearch help to gather information from multiple platforms. Providing a single view for searching UI, search effectively from massive log data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

So far, we do not use much advance features in Elastic at this moment. When we have to use a certain feature in Elastic. We have to study the methodology and check from community for case reference. Also, there is less reference cases or examples that I cannot find easily if I want to arrange integration between Elasticsearch with third party application such as Oracle DB / Fortigate Firewall etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Customizable Search with Strong Community Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

I use Elasticsearch to build search products for websites, and I appreciate the fast and highly customizable search experience it provides. I like that it solves problems related to indexing and search speed, and its ability to heavily customize the search experience while incorporating AI is very beneficial. I find the supportive community around Elasticsearch really valuable. There's lots of support when building with it, and the good documentation makes things easier. The technical support is accessible if I need more help. I also enjoy the regular events like ElasticON, which are free and allow people to learn how to use the products better. Additionally, the initial setup was really easy thanks to the great documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Sometimes, the Elastic Cloud 'PaaS' experience is a little more hands-on than we'd expect. We have to really dig into areas we don't expect to investigate/fix things. We expected it to be managed by Elastic but it's not totally hands off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplifies Data Management, But Upgrade Challenges"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

I find managing data in Elasticsearch very easy compared to other databases, as it doesn't require the hectic re-indexing and maintenance that others do. Setting up an ILM policy lets it take care of Elasticsearch growth, and I particularly like the feature that allows managing the hot, warm, and cold phases based on data requirements. The ability to set how data moves from one tier to another and store historical data in snapshots that can be searched from archival is the best feature for me. Also, the initial setup of Elasticsearch was easy, which is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Elasticsearch upgrade from version to another is always a problem. They don't allow you to jump 2 versions using a rolling upgrade, as any particular version like V1 does not allow you to have any index which was created in V1-2 version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best No-SQL Databases with vector search and AI use cases"
4/5
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

It’s one of the best NoSQL databases on the market. It makes it easier to collect logs from many different sources and to define integrations for them. It provides many features within one tool like vector search, machine learning, alerting and a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

I don’t like the breaking changes that come with version upgrades, because they have a big impact when multiple teams depend on the deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

What I like most about Elasticsearch is its speed and flexibility. It handles large amounts of data efficiently and makes searching very fast. It is also versatile enough to be used for both search and analytics use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

One thing I dislike about Elasticsearch is that it can become complex to manage as it grows. It requires careful planning and monitoring to avoid performance and stability issues. Licensing and pricing changes over time have also created some uncertainty for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No complaints from me. I honestly cannot think of a time when I was disappointed with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"easy to use and great for analysing data"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

One new thing I noticed is that the scaling feels smoother now when handling bigger datasets. Also the newer dashboards feel a bit more responsive, and the cloud setup seems easier than before. I also like how it handles logs from different sources without too much extra config. Overall it still feels powerful and flexible for search and analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

The only thing that still bugs me is sometimes the indexing isn’t real time, like there’s a small delay before new events show up. Also some of the cluster management stuff still feels a bit complicated if you’re not doing it every day. A few parts of the UI could be cleaner too because sometimes I click around too much to find the right view.

If you want, I can also rewrite the About the Product, About You, or About Your Organization sections in the same human, slightly flawed style so the whole review stays consistent and gets approved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable, Easy-to-Integrate Solution with Excellent Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

This product delivers on its promises and functions reliably from the start. The hosted solution makes it easy to launch your feature or product quickly, and integration with your existing stack is relatively straightforward. As your needs grow, there is a wide range of advanced features available to support further development. Right out of the box, it simply works as expected. Elastic also provides excellent support options, from an active Slack community to access to architects who can help guide your progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

It might be overkill for your smallest search needs. (That being said, the serverless option is quite affordable so that's not a particularly good reason to not use it.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
