Customizable search the way it was meant to be!
What do you like best about the product?
The results filtering and ranking flexibility of Swiftype are unmatched by other solutions in the market. The admin portal is very user-friendly, even for not technical managers to cultivate successful search results. Platform offers very robust and granular options/capabilities which puts the control and power back into your own hands.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very little our organization doesn't like about Swiftype, but we could have used a little more hand-holding with implementation and the startup. Pricing is very reasonable, and overall this service is one of the best on the market we've found.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a large enterprise with far too many digital properties (e.g. consumer-facing websites, business SaaS web applications, mobile apps, etc.) and Swiftype has allowed us to unite many of these disparate properties into one global search and CMS ecosystem. We've unlocked the benefits of getting closer to our end-user to discover where our applications or UI/UX is failing customers by studying search analytics and improving our content architecture and fine-tuning our knowledge management resources.

So fast

The speed is incredible. Querying 2 billion or more documents usually returns results in less than 500ms, and sometimes way faster.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, especially if you're still on MYSQL and the database is becoming a bottleneck for performance
Search made simple
What do you like best about the product?
The Swiftype team is incredible responsive and they helped us in every step of the Search integration. As a tech publication, we need to be able to deliver real time results and make sure users are always able to find what they are looking for.
Swiftype provides full control over exactly which search results appeared for our most important queries, while also being flexible enough to integrate with our database structure.
In addition to that, Swiftype’s crawler was able to index the site by extracting directly the data from the website’s HTML, so we didn't have to spend time on that.

What do you dislike about the product?
When we launched the new search results, the only missing feature was a big analytics dashboard to measure the impact of the search results. After speaking with the team, the worked on a dashboard that was release short after. Thanks to that, we were able to have a much deeper understanding of who their readers are, where they come from, and what they are looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Engadget was running multiple backend databases and facing issues related with the search results. By implementing the Swiftype Engine we were able to customize those results, remove duplications and offer real time suggestions based on a combination of our databases.

Ease of implementation is the best thing in elasticsearch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Loosing data while partitioning and no sql like query system to look for data. No layer above implementation for any solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Implemented seamless search for all the entities in our system. After successful implementation for entities data we implement for meta data and it did not find any performance setback.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This can work as basic and advance level of solution depending on the need. When it comes to searchable the Elasticseach is the best choice because of its ease of implementation and scalability.
Easy to use, hard to master
What do you like best about the product?
Elasticsearch is opensource, it just works out of the box, you throw some documents in elasticsearch and you can search on them. You get started in no time and the documentation is great for the most common of uses. The ELK stack is a great addition for logging.
What do you dislike about the product?
The query language is hard to master for advanced cases. I never needed advanced features but still I have spent a lot time with the documentation trying to solve my cases with trial and error. Elasticsearch needs more server resources than you average application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Elasticsearch provides us with a super fast search engine. We work with Amazon Elasticsearch Service, this allows us to easily scale. I takes away all infrastructure management. Elasticsearch works with a beautiful API so it can easily be integrated into any technology.
