ThoughtWorks Technology Radar Reports Highlights Open Source
June 20, 2013
The ThoughtWorks Technology Radar report was recently released, and it is recommending Elasticsearch as an enterprise search platform. MarketWatch covers the news in its article, “Elasticsearch Platform Recommended as ‘Adopt’ by ThoughtWorks in Its Latest Technology Radar Report.”
The article begins:
“Elasticsearch, the company behind the popular real-time search and analytics open source project, was highlighted by ThoughtWorks, the global technology consultancy, as a leading go-to search platform in its bi-annual Technology Radar report. Read by thousands of technology leaders, this inclusion is validation of Elasticsearch, which has more than 2.5 million downloads to date. Companies around the world are using Elasticsearch to explore and understand large sets of data easier and more cost effectively than with other solutions.”
But Elasticsearch has encountered some known reliability issues when deployed on a large scale. In addition, their download count can be misleading, as each update is released and counted as a separate download, instead of an update of an existing user. Lastly, cost effectiveness is more than just monetary; there is also the cost of time and expertise in order to implement the solution. For the reasons above, LucidWorks, a value-added Apache Lucene Solr solution, may be a better option for many enterprises. LucidWorks fully supports their solution and its out-of-the-box capability, saving time, money, and heartache over the long term.
