riskCanvas customer review

riskCanvas is a subsidiary of Genpact. It is a SaaS product offering for a financial crime compliance solution that uses cutting-edge big data, automation, and machine learning technologies to deliver compliance, efficiency, and automation to its clients.

"riskCanvas’ entity-centric monitoring incorporates transaction monitoring, external enrichment, watchlist screening, and negative news to automatically assess risk and alert only for high-risk customers, hugely reducing the effort to meet regulatory compliance requirements. This requires significant and varied analytic processing that often experiences spikey and unpredictable data load. We are excited about Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, which will scale automatically to meet the data ingestion and analytic processing requirements of our workloads and then scale back down as demand decreases to reduce costs drastically—all with no reengineering or maintenance impact."

Ryan Skousen, Chief Technology Officer (riskCanvas) and Vice President of Technology, Genpact Financial Crimes

SmugMug is one of the world's leading photographer-focused communities.

"SmugMug has used AWS search services since 2011 to power search for our customers' photos and albums. Over time, and through generations of AWS search technology, the amount of undifferentiated heavy lifting has decreased, costs have decreased, and performance and search capabilities have improved. Amazon OpenSearch Serverless automatically scales to meet demand, further decreasing the operational work required to keep our searches fast and helping us lower our overall cost. With Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, we can now expand our OpenSearch use cases to build new features to thrill our customers."

Valtix customer review

Valtix helps organizations protect workloads in public cloud deployments with a cloud-based network security platform delivered as a service.

"We are currently using many OpenSearch clusters for our security intelligence database. Our engineering team is responsible for the ongoing maintenance to scale and tune these clusters periodically. With Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, this infrastructure management is handled automatically, freeing up our Engineering team to focus on delivering value for our customers. And since Amazon OpenSearch Serverless automatically scales to meet demand, we do not have to provision a large cluster for our peak load use, so we only have to pay for the resources we actually use."

Praveen Patnala, Cofounder and Vice President of Engineering, Valtix
