Overall Satisfaction with Elasticsearch
Elasticsearch is used as a full-text search solution in most of my use cases. We have another analytics us -case which uses Elasticsearch for both text search and aggregation use-cases.
- Extremely easy to get started and great documentation.
- Excellent for full-text use cases.
- Also used for analytics and Kibana UX is great for visualization.
- Encountered scaling challenges with large data sets (typically in petabytes).
- Performance issues for raw aggregation use-cases.
- Every contract (request/response) is in JSON which is not optimal. No support for protobuffs or GRPC.
- Easy to maintain.
- Simple to use.
- Great monitoring out of the box for the product.
- Apache Druid and InfluxDB
Elasticsearch is more expensive, especially on disk storage. In terms of functionality and ease of use, it's better than most solutions out there.
