Search performance has transformed large-scale intent discovery and hybrid query handling
While Elastic Search is a good product, I see areas for improvement, particularly regarding the misconception that any amount of data can simply be dumped into Elastic Search. When creating an index, careful consideration of data massaging is essential. Elastic Search stores mappings for various data types, which must remain below a certain threshold to maintain functionality. Users need to throttle the number of fields for searching to avoid overloading the system and ensure that the design of the document is efficient for the Elastic Search index. Additionally, I suggest utilizing ILM periodically throughout the year to manage data shuffling between clusters, preventing hotspots in the distribution of requests across nodes.

Good visibility with continuous optimization that helps increase revenue
Integration with GA4 and a plugin integrating with Google Looker Studio would be very useful. Currently, I collect data on searches in two places and I cannot conveniently combine them. The efficiency of the tool can also be improved with some reports - some data takes a long time to load. It would be convenient to use drag-and-drop mechanisms when personalizing settings in the administration panel. Apart from these minor comments, I have only good impressions of working with Luigi's Box and I do not see the need for major changes - it fulfills its task as promised.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"All the quality features are there. There are about 60 to 70 reports available."
"The search speed is most valuable and important."
"I like how it allows us to connect to Kafka and get this data in a document format very easily. Elasticsearch is very fast when you do text-based searches of documents. That area is very good, and the search is very good."
"The observability is the best available because it provides granular insights that identify reasons for defects."
"Decision-making has become much faster due to real-time data and quick responses."
"I really like the visualization that you can do within it. That's really handy. Product-wise, it is a very good and stable product."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Enterprise Search is user behavior analysis."
"There's lots of processing power. You can actually just add machines to get more performance if you need to. It's pretty flexible and very easy to add another log. It's not like 'oh, no, it's going to be so much extra data'. That's not a problem for the machine. It can handle it."
"This smart search capability significantly reduces the time customers spend searching for products, as it anticipates their needs and suggests the most pertinent results."
"Luigi's Box is helpful in implementing even non-standard requirements."
"Within the dashboard, the application offers data analysis that works with different views of the customer data. This data is graphically processed and thus does not need to be further modified for better interpretation."
"In analytics, we can see what our visitors can't find with us, because we can look in history to see what products they wanted to search for and couldn't find. We can see the exact number of people who wanted to find something."
"The most useful feature of the Luigi's Box product is the extensive analytics. We can see in beautiful graphs what exactly visitors to our e-shop searched for."
"Luigi's Box is an excellent tool that solves our problems with the search and recommended products in the carousels."
"Luigi's Box was easy to implement and allowed me to get started quickly."
"With its advanced algorithm and intuitive interface, this tool makes setting up the product feed simple and efficient."
 

Cons

"The solution must provide AI integrations."
"Elasticsearch should have simpler commands for window filtering."
"Dashboards could be more flexible, and it would be nice to provide more drill-down capabilities."
"Pagination in Elastic Search is very slow."
"Elastic Search needs to improve authentication. It also needs to work on the Kibana visualization dashboard."
"Scalability and ROI are the areas they have to improve."
"I think the first area for improvement is pricing, as the cluster cost for Elastic Search is too high for me."
"They're making changes in their architecture too frequently."
"Enhancing the reporting and analytics capabilities would provide us with deeper insights into user behavior and search trends, helping us optimize our offerings further."
"It could simplify the implementation on the website."
"Our products are really diverse. Not everything can be done automatically, and manual intervention is required."
"Our team mainly speaks French. Offering a French-language option would significantly enhance accessibility and streamline usage."
"Enhancing the user interface to be more intuitive and user-friendly could significantly reduce the learning curve for new users."
"The product is already at a very high level, but there is always room for further improvements, especially when we want to keep up with specific requirements and rapidly changing market trends."
"We have been using the service for more than two years, and our experience is only positive."
"When setting up banner ads in the search window, it takes a long time for the banners to appear."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Elastic Enterprise is very, very competitive."
"There is a free version, and there is also a hosted version for which you have to pay. We're currently using the free version. If things go well, we might go for the paid version."
"The basic license is free, but it comes with a lot of features that aren't free. With a gold license, we get active directory integration. With a platinum license, we get alerting."
"The pricing structure depends on the scalability steps."
"The solution is free."
"It can be expensive."
"We are using the free version and intend to upgrade."
"To access all the features available you require both the open source license and the production license."
