"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"The quality of the solution is good."
"The best feature is its scalability in that Cloud is always on the fly."
"AWS CloudSearch's best features are good performance under high CPU and memory use, and ease of deployment and scaling."
"It's the best solution for any company. It has a hosting ERP system for any task. AWS is stable. AWS is more flexible and its elastic concept is a new concept. AWS is also very secure. It has many layers of security, like hardware security and software security. This is a big issue."
"CDN service reduces latency when accessing our web application."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the out of the box Kibana."
"It is stable."
"I value the feature that allows me to share the dashboards to different people with different levels of access."
"The ability to aggregate log and machine data into a searchable index reduces time to identify and isolate issues for an application. Saves time in triage and incident response by eliminating manual steps to access and parse logs on separate systems, within large infrastructure footprints."
"I appreciate that Elastic Enterprise Search is easy to use and that we have people on our team who are able to manage it effectively."

"Amazon AWS CloudSearch is highly stable. However, the speed depends on your internet connection."
"Maybe they are common in Egypt, but you should make a request on Amazon to create a function to monitor CPU performance, memory, and files. It is very difficult in AWS. I would tell them it should be simple, just drag and drop. I think they could develop this option so we can drag and drop to monitor performance of the processor and memory."
"Security is a concern but they're working on it."
"A reboot should be enhanced."
"Latlon data type only supports single value per document. All other types support multiple values. We faced issues with this because we had scenarios where, for each document, we needed to store multiple latlon values for different geographical locations."
"The price of the solution can be expensive."
"Index cleanup is sometimes painful. No easy way to clean indexes or a bulk of documents. Full indexing or regeneration of entire indexes sometimes gets stuck. In one instance, we had to delete the entire index and re-create it."

"They could improve some of the platform's infrastructure management capabilities."
"Elastic Enterprise Search's tech support is good but it could be improved."

"The solution must provide AI integrations."
"Ratio aggregation is not supported in this solution."
"The different applications need to be individually deployed."
