Elastic Search Reviews

We are using Elastic Search for free text search. We scan cache files and convert them into OCR. This allows our end users to search for any judgment given in the 1980s or 1990s based on their criteria. 

Elastic Search is very quick when handling a large volume of data. The facet search is particularly valuable. It is scalable. Elastic Search makes handling large data volumes efficient and supports complex search operations.

I use the solution to store historical data and logs to find anomalies within the logs. That is about it. I don't create dashboards from it.

I find the solution to be fast. Aggregation is faster than querying directly from a database, like Postgres or Vertica. It's much faster if I want to do aggregation. These features allow me to store logs and find anomalies effectively.

It is basically for the banking and non-banking sectors. We use it for the APM perspective and application performance monitoring, but not in a holistic way; it is just layer seven, layer five, and six that are there.

In analytics, people use it for search patterns. I've also used Elasticsearch for indexing, where we can have content and do these things. But from an analytics perspective, I have never used Elasticsearch. I have used it in one project

It's a good tool because if you compare it with MongoDB, MongoDB is better. It has a very good data warehouse and search pattern. Elasticsearch cannot be made into a data warehouse. You can use it for smaller-scale analytics, but if you are looking at anything over 30-40 TB, it's not a data lake or big data solution. 

It's a normal database, and any Oracle database or enterprise DB like MSSQL or PostgreSQL can do these things. I've never used it for unstructured data. I have used MongoDB, but not for this.  

I can describe a project where we use Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK stack) for our archiving objectives. I work in the security department of a Fintech company in the payment industry. We use the ELK stack to connect our internal systems with the bank's systems and we used Beats for data collection. We then store and forward this data to Elasticsearch for indexing and analysis, visualize and create alerts using Kibana based on categorized access logs, identifying and blocking malicious traffic or payloads.

Logsign provides us with the capability to execute multiple queries according to our requirements. The indexing is very high, making it effective for storing and retrieving logs. The real-time analytics with Elastic benefits us due to the huge traffic volume in our organization, which reaches up to 60,000 requests per second. With logs of approximately 25 GB per day, manually analyzing traffic behavior, payloads, headers, user agents, and other details is impractical.

We use Elastic Enterprise Search to develop robust and competitive projects. 

We provide clients with a chance to upload a file. They have all the accounts and transactions that they want to do and we have a limit of 10,000. In two minutes, they can have the 10,000 transactions in their accounts.

We have a distributed login environment. We have logs in databases and some in files. We use the solution to centralize everything. It's good for monitoring. 

The solution is useful for observing logs. The observability is good. 

It's good for collecting various types of logs. The metrics on offer are great.

We also collect logs from VMs, and we can look at the CPU and RAM situation to see what is being used. 

The APM for our ITSM tools is helpful. It provides good visibility.

It is scalable.

The solution offers good stability.

The initial setup is easy.

Elastic Search significantly improved our blog management at the organization. It played a crucial role in enhancing our cybersecurity efforts by allowing me to identify the geographical origins of web traffic. This feature was instrumental in identifying and mitigating potential threats from various actors. The ability to pinpoint the source of the traffic helped in quickly addressing security concerns and filtering out potential threats.

The most valuable features are its user-friendly interface and seamless navigation. The abundance of tutorials and helpful mocktails significantly contributed to the ease of managing the system. The user interface stood out for its accessibility, making it straightforward to perform tasks and queries. The availability of resources, such as tutorials and mocktails, not only facilitated my learning process but also enhanced the overall usability of Elastic Search. Additionally, the ability to seamlessly integrate Elastic agents into our system not only enhanced our overall efficiency but also facilitated smooth integration with the cloud. The versatility of adding Elastic agents and leveraging the source components provided a comprehensive solution for managing and optimizing our system.

We use the solution to monitor our website and APIs request and response cycle, also for log aggregation. We also used it for APM and searching for slow and database queries. 

It helped a lot in identifying bottlenecks and events happening simultaneously among several services, since we can aggregate the logs into a single repository of data
