"While our previous workflows delivered a satisfactory outcome, we needed a faster, more unified observability solution that aggregated data at a central location and could also be accessed by security teams across the business."
"Our website content is essential to the success of the business. From new product launches and special offers to blogs and notifications for customers, it’s crucial that website visitors can quickly find the information that is most relevant to them."
“As we get more and more customers, it's going to get really hard to manage because you always have to grow your own team of engineers at the same rate as you get customers because you get so many more clusters — there's so much manual configuration. And that’s not going to work in the long run."
"The power of Elastic’s machine learning capabilities enriches the user search experience in the areas of recommendations and discovery."
"This is a true observability solution. We not only immediately know when something is wrong, but we can also understand why and quickly apply a fix."
"The key is that from ingest onward, everything is multi-tenanted, so each client has their own segregated data. Even when the information is sent to Elasticsearch, we use Datastreams to keep the data physically separate, with each item tagged to a firm ID. Elasticsearch aliases allow us to slice and dice any search whilst security is maintained in our middleware and API gateway to the front end. Elastic is our central search engine that allows all this to happen."
"With Elastic's cross cluster replication, sales representatives and customers anywhere in the world are now able to find a suitable vehicle more comfortably."
"The journey with Elastic has been hugely positive to this point."
"Before Elasticsearch enabled The Guardian to develop Ophan, we used a traditional analytics package which had a fourhour lag, Trying to get data out of it was horrendous. It was painfully slow. So the ability to see the results of what we did, to have any clue at all, just wasn’t there. We were shooting in the dark."
“The fact that we only have to do fairly light amounts of optimization to be able to do fairly complex faceting is a big advantage. We can query over 360 million documents without having to spend enormous amounts of time optimizing – and Elasticsearch has enabled us to do that with a small development team, not spending all of our time working on this aspect. Without Elasticsearch there is no way we would’ve been able to implement a number of features that we have, in the time we have.”
"Using Elasticsearch queries, we can quickly see every action the user has done - this is a great way to see whether an account has been stolen, hijacked, or whether the user has done something naughty."
“It didn’t work very well for our use case. Once we moved everything to Elasticsearch and used its histogram facet queries, everything worked really well.”
"Elastic Security really shines compared with other SIEMs if you need to build content for multiple different vendor devices in a specific category across hundreds of customers."
"The Elastic training was excellent, especially the mentors and on-demand and virtual in-person training."
“We can’t always change our content to match searchers’ intentions — for example, we don’t call our residence halls “dorms” — so being able to set up synonyms and custom result sets, at an affordable price, sold us on Elastic Site Search.”
