Great tool for search, but only search
What do you like best about the product?
Search is fast and the RESTful API is easy to use, not to mention documentation is great and there is a sizable ElasticSearch community. ElasticSearch should be the go-to tool for anyone looking for a full-text search solution for their application.
What do you dislike about the product?
For anyone that came from a SQL background (like me), getting used to ElasticSearch can take some time. In particular, you need to know what an index, a cluster, nodes and shards are before you can decide the best configuration for your application. ElasticSearch is an open source tool with a paid support function if you'd like, but it's very expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need full text search for an integral part of our application, ElasticSearch has been a great tool for that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You'll likely spend a while learning ElasticSearch before you become comfortable with it. Depending on the application you use to incorporate ElasticSearch, there may be official libraries that help you get up to speed fast. For example, ElasticSearch has a ruby gem for Ruby on Rails users

What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation is sometimes not very clear to request parameters and perhaps users will re-index their data before obtaining the best search result.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem : get a complete view of all the informations of customers.
The data are scattered across multiple sources (RDBMS, file, ...)
Putting them in a unique system (elasticsearch) and building search-based applications that query this data lake give a large benefit to the employees to rapidly get a complete information about customers.
