Considered Both Products	Apache Solr Verified User Anonymous Chose Apache Solr Apache Solr is a ready-to-use product addressing specific use cases such as keyword searches from a huge set of data documents. Incentivized Helpful? TN trang nguyen Software Engineer Chose Apache Solr We have considering AWS search and Elastic search but decide to go with Solr as we need high speed and flexible query, and so far it meets all our requirement so we still continue with Solr. Incentivized Helpful? Richard Davies Web Application Developer Chose Apache Solr We tried to use both Elasticsearch and Swiftype with Drupal 8 but there are currently no good modules that integrate Drupal with those solutions.

Kelvin Yeo Senior Search Engineer Chose Apache Solr Azure Search is not as mature as Apache Solr at this point. So the range of query flexibility is less than Solr.

Bharadwaj (Brad) Chivukula Sr.Technical Manager/Delivery Manager Chose Apache Solr Between Solr and ElasticSearch, there is a constant struggle to pick the best one.

LG Luiz Eduardo Garcia System Administrator Chose Apache Solr We tryed to promote Redis as cache solution for application, in order to replace Apache Solr, but it won't go well.

User Testimonials
	Apache Solr	Luigi's Box
Likelihood to Recommend	Very effective for end-user searching applications and for generating search results. Also very well suited to those looking for high reliability and performance. If [you're doing] fuzzy searching or if you are working on a smaller end-user application or an internal application that does not require high performance and flexible/adapting searching then it may not be necessary to use Solr. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Faceted navigation and field collapsing/grouping : filtering and quick results were what we needed for our websites. Our customers needed to have this functionalities for good and efficient results. We tested them with our customers' registered searches (they received all new goods matching with their registered searches by emails and/or mobile push). Results were incredible by comparison with our old system (old MySQL requests). Note : we didn't put all our data in Solr. Just what we need for searching uses. Other data stayed in our MySQL database. Auto-suggest : our old auto-suggest wasn't performing well. With Apache Solr, our new one was worked really well ! The suggestions came quickly and suggestions were good. We also extended auto-suggestion with geo-spatial data and it worked well. Hit highlighting : we used this functionality and we didn't have problem and nasty surprise. Keep all data status during data upgrading (see next details for improvements) Philippe Kozak Senior Consultant Read full review	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.

Cons	Ease of use -- this is not always the easier platform to configure. Developer Community -- There are not a whole lot of folks out there that understand this stuff so finding talent is difficult. Drupal 8 -- We've been frustrated with slow development on APIs for Drupal 8 integration. Incentivized Peter Feddo Senior Front End Developer Read full review	More choice for customisation and layout would be good. More payment options for example the choice to pay via direct debit. BO Beth O'dell Customer Service Manager Read full review
Usability	It takes some time to deploy and currectly maintein it. And also, to learn how to use and integrate in the enviroment as well. Once you get theses steps done, it usability is very simple, and almost of the time it don't require no further attention on it. Even for maintence, if you deploy it on a cluster mode, it is very reliable and easy to take one host down. Incentivized Luiz Eduardo Garcia System Administrator Read full review	Luigi's Box just slots in nicely to the website with very little code and has no negative impact on pagespeed scores.

Alternatives Considered	We switched from search indexes stored in MySQL to soar and it's made a world of difference for our growing businesses.

Return on Investment	It's enabled us to deliver fast, relevant search results on our new website. The site is still in beta and being actively developed so our complete ROI is still unknown. It integrates very well with Drupal so it has saved us from having to develop a custom solution.
