Amazon Elasticsearch Service vs. Luigi's Box

Elasticsearch is a good alternative to relational databases for setting up complex searching of data. It's inbuilt features for slicing the data [in] different ways and its ability to add weights to search results makes it easy to set up complex searching scenarios. Given that data must be pushed to this service, it may be best suited for data that is not changing very rapidly.

Luigi's Box is the perfect solution for sales platforms that have search engine problems on their site. Luigi's Box allows you to go to the next level and enable customers to find what they are looking for. With additional options to recommend and indicate substitutes and add-on products, it can work great as a sales-boosting element.

• Fast Index based search.
• Scalable.
• Best for structured and unstructured data.

• Wide access to the analysis panel that supports sales and helps analyze user behavior.
• Adapting functionality to the partner's needs, which confirms the flexibility of the tool.
• The boost function which allows us to prioritise showing customers certain products over others, which improves conversions.

• More choice for customisation and layout would be good.
• More payment options for example the choice to pay via direct debit.

It is an extremely powerful tool if the time is put in to learn it. There are basic skeletons of out of the box behavior, it involves having really dedicated people to learn how to use it to take full advantage of its capabilities. A 10 for the tool itself, minus 3 for the difficulty in learning and maintenance

Luigi's Box just slots in nicely to the website with very little code and has no negative impact on pagespeed scores. Having been using it for a number of months now, we have had no bugs or downtime. The search functionality works for every customer and even our staff use it every day to get to the product they want faster.

Their support is excellent. Quick and helpful.

Splunk is the most flexible of the 3 where you can manipulate the data to whatever fits your specific use case. Grafana has the most powerful capabilities but the steepest learning curve. Grafana also does offer the most flexibility as you can visualize almost any data source. Elastic is a solid middle ground between the 2

In my opinion, Luigi's Box is superior. It was much easier to implement, customer service was better, the search results are much more accurate, the customization options are much more advanced, the analytics section is superior and the price for all of the tools that Luigi's Box has to offer is extremely reasonable. We did also try to build our own product in house, but this proved very difficult and complicated to get the results we wanted.

• The cost is a bit expensive if compared with other clouds but [the] performance is very good.

• Reduction in the number of abandoned carts - since the launch of the service, we have seen a drop in cart abandonment by more than 10%
• Lower reports of product search problems from customers
• Analytical accounts - they were able to recommend many things to us and improve services
