Elastic Search enhances efficiency, saves costs, offers monitoring, is open-source, and supports problem-solving despite setup and license challenges.
Sentiment score
7.5
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud saves time and reduces costs, offering a rapid ROI and improved efficiencies with integrated platforms.
We have not purchased any licensed products, and our use of Elastic Search is purely open-source, contributing positively to our ROI.
It is stable, and we do not encounter critical issues like server downtime, which could result in data loss.
The main benefits observed from using Elastic Search include improvements in operational efficiency, along with cost, time, and resource savings.
Consequently, we adjusted our processes to use Matillion Data Productivity Cloud only for extraction and ingestion, while Snowflake handled all transformations and jobs.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.3
Elastic Search's support is praised for its online resources and knowledgeable staff but criticized for occasional slow response times.
Sentiment score
7.6
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud excels in service and support with fast response, comprehensive resources, and high customer satisfaction.
The customer support for Elastic Search is one of the best I have ever tried.
They have always been really responsible and responsive to my requests.
I would rate technical support from Elastic Search as three out of ten.
They communicate effectively and respond quickly to all inquiries.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Elastic Search is scalable but requires careful infrastructure management for large databases and quick expansion challenges.
Sentiment score
7.4
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud effectively scales with cloud resources and databases, though managing multiple nodes can be challenging.
I would rate its scalability a ten.
Since we're on the cloud, whenever we need to upgrade or add resources, they handle everything.
I can actually add more storage and memory because I host it in the cloud.
Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required.
The autoscale process works well, allowing the system to start another node automatically if the first machine reaches 80% capacity.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Elastic Search is highly stable and reliable, with few issues, and often receives high ratings for its performance.
Sentiment score
7.9
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud is stable and effective, with responsive support; hardware or configurations occasionally cause issues.
The data transfer sometimes exceeded the bandwidth limits without proper notification, which caused issues.
The stability of Elasticsearch was very high.
Elastic Search is quite stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Elastic Search requires improvements in security, usability, performance, and documentation to address user challenges with integration and scalability.
Matillion needs frequent API updates, improved UI, better documentation, more integrations, enhanced scalability, and real-time data capture.
This can create problems for new developers because they have to quickly switch to another version.
It is primarily based on Unix or Linux-based operating systems and cannot be easily configured in Windows systems.
The consistency and stability of Elasticsearch are commendable, and they should keep up the good work.
Connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex.
The main areas for improvement are AI features and scalability.
 

Setup Cost

Elastic Search provides cost-effective deployment, but premium features and scalability can increase overall enterprise costs.
Matillion's pricing is competitive, flexible, and cost-effective, with discounts for annual commitments and strategic instance management.
We used the open-source version of Elasticsearch, which was free.
Elastic pushes clients to buy the Enterprise edition instead of the Premium edition, and we don't see the value in that other than to spend more money more quickly.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud offers discounts and special deals, especially when dealing with high-volume clients or fewer existing clients in specific regions, like Spain.
The pricing is moderate, neither expensive nor cheap.
 

Valuable Features

Elastic Search offers powerful search, quick indexing, scalability, and affordability, with integrations for enhanced visualization and data management.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud enhances ETL processes with user-friendly tools, automation, and security for efficient, scalable data management.
Elastic Search makes handling large data volumes efficient and supports complex search operations.
The most valuable feature of Elasticsearch was the quick search capability, allowing us to search by any criteria needed.
The speed with which Elastic Search is able to search through all of the documents we place into it is quite remarkable, as we search through 65 billion documents in less than a second in most cases, on a constant consistent basis.
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud is effective for ingest functions, particularly when moving information to Snowflake and performing many transformations.

Searches through billions of documents have become impressively fast and consistent
The seamless scalability is something I see as among the best features Elastic Search offers. The speed with which Elastic Search is able to search through all of the documents we place into it is quite remarkable, as we search through 65 billion documents in less than a second in most cases, on a constant consistent basis. I find configuring relevant searches within Elastic Search platform very straightforward. Elastic Search is easily scalable. The customer support for Elastic Search is quite good. I advise others looking into using Elastic Search to think about the future of your platform and where you intend it to be in five years, and based on that, which version of Elastic Search best suits the needs of your platform. Additionally, jump into the AI products first as you're in the planning phase so that as you're filling out your data, the AI products and machine learning products can enrich the data real-time early on in the process, which will save you a lot of time later. The overall performance of the platform, scalability of the platform and other additional features, especially when it comes to AI, really earn the nine.
Jitendra Jena - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.
