Amazon CloudSearch vs Lucidworks Fusion

Likelihood to Recommend

Amazon Cloudsearch can be suitable for some queries that require fast data. For example, in our case, we used CloudSearch, in a tool called Global Search. That will search everything like names, emails and a lot of stuff in our application. If you want fast data and you have a simple query, Global Search isn't appropriate for you.

Alternatives Considered

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.

IDOL seems to be a blackbox solution. Fusion is much more flexible with more features and options for developers to choose from.

Allowed us to move software developers from enterprise search to other customer focused applications due to built in signals processing and related popularity boosting out of the box.
Enabled business experts to work directly with Fusion to influence search results and not be so dependent on developers.
