    Managing the Solr instances was proving to be a pain, which is why we made the switch to ElasticSearch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    At least with version 4.3-4.10, the documentation for Solr was very lacking, and it is difficult to find help with things. There are a lot of features, particularly in your configurations, that can take a bit to understand and get setup correctly. There has been a lot of guesswork in figuring out some of these features, and it seems like there is a lot that could be better documented to help identify where certain things can be used. Dealing with Zookeeper can also be a hassle. Updating the configs through Zookeeper has not been the most straightforward thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    I am an e-commerce website developer in my organization and our application uses mainly Apache Solr for the display, sorting, and managing of products on our website. With the Apache Solr in use products sorting, filtering with ranges, fetching filtered results, and display of products on list pages is possible. With a simple query, we can fetch desired results, and the query in Apache Solr is easy to learn.

    Apache Solr is used to index and store billions of activity events as a document containing information such as time of activity, the user performing the activity, type of activity, and a few business-relevant fields. The data is queried and served as part of the user activity request. It's used within the department and it addresses searching for specific user activity events among billions of events.
    Full-text search capabilities Ranking the results Fuzzy search High scalability

    We utilize Solr as an indexing mechanism for complex product data and user profiles. It allows us to rapidly deliver search results with minimum strain on our hardware configurations. We're currently implementing Solr in a Drupal powered e-commerce environment and enjoying amazing success with the open source integration.
    Speed -- This is a very fast platform. Scalability -- We can rapidly grow our environments to meet expanding business needs. Flexibility -- We can make Solr bend to our business needs and not the other way around.

    Overall: I worked with Solr for 5 years, so I think that's quite a good recommendation. If the product were bad, I wouldn't have used it for so long.
