Overall Satisfaction with Elasticsearch
We use Elasticsearch in our Web-Payment Fraud and Security Solution. We index every Http Request Response message of our customers' eBanking applications to analyze for fraud/malware/security threats. We then provide flexible and robust analytics on their data including free text search, reporting and real time data insights.
- Free text search. Query String Query is totally awesome and allows complex search in real time.
- Very scalable and highly configurable, there is no scalability problem we couldn't solve.
- Aggregations are great for analytics and we utilize them in our proprietary reporting tool.
- Aggregations scalability - elastic search doesn't do a very good job in protecting its cluster from bad queries. Circuit breakers are good, but to completely protect ourselves we had to implement our own mechanisms.
- Solved major problems
We have used Solr. Elastic Search aggregations is what made us move to elastic search initially.
