Amazon CloudSearch vs. IBM Watson Content Analytics

I would like to mentioned about the scenario where Amazon cloud search was well suited is when we need regular updation of data and the subject matter requires continuous alterations due to the continuous changing environment and talking abut the least appropriate would the times when their is high level of customisation requirements in the project.

IBM Content Analytics is well suited for organizations with the resources to invest a significant amount of energy in an advanced analytics engine. The software improved the productivity of analysts and programmers. The software is not suitable for companies that just want Excel-type analyses or that lack the capabilities of doing advanced analytics.

• Really fast queries
• Good Reporting
• Reduce the cost of the server

• Impressive and efficient indexing system.
• Rarely does the indexing have issues that need to rebuild/reindex.
• Searches are almost instantaneous and end users can move on to the next task.

• First thing I would like to mentioned about its indexing speed, I have noticed while working with large sums of data
• Second I would like to mentioned about customisation challenge, although it is also its pros but a con as well, as it is a tedious task to customise when time value comes place as well.
• Thirdly, I do feel that its advanced search queries could be more supported. I have seen some level of lagging when it comes to more advanced search queries given the size of data.

• It would be better if its available for cross platforms.
• Pricing could be adjusted better.
• More number of third party add-ons required.

I didn't investigate the best alternatives to CloudSearch, but did help with implementing this feature in our application. But from what i tested and used - Cloudsearch is very fast to get queries. Some negative points can be the time to implement this and some configurations that can be tricky.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of IBM Watson Content Analytics is the IBM feel. I think IBM puts lots of resources into developing products that even sociologists can use. It's so easy, that to professionals wanting customized analysis, it might be kind of offensive. The drawback is that Content Analytics is not as fast as its competitors.

• It has directly or indirectly improved the operational effiecncy for sure.
• Its limitations towards limited customisation requirements makes it a bit negative side of the scenario.
• Its scalability of the growth offers seamless accommodation of large data sets which is a positive impact although.

Incentivized

• Organized, easy to produce search results.
• Never lose a document again.
