Successful Migrations
The Challenge
Coveo, while a capable enterprise search platform, comes with significant challenges: high licensing costs that scale with usage, vendor lock-in with proprietary technologies, limited flexibility in customization, and expensive professional services for modifications. Organizations running Coveo often face budget pressures and constraints on innovation due to platform limitations.
Migrating from Coveo to OpenSearch requires careful planning, understanding of search patterns, data model transformation, AI feature mapping, and zero-downtime execution. Many organizations lack the expertise, time, or confidence to tackle these migrations independently, risking search quality degradation, data loss, and missed opportunities to leverage modern AI search capabilities.
Why Migrate from
Coveo to OpenSearch?
Dramatic Cost Reduction
Eliminate expensive per-user or per-query licensing fees. OpenSearch on AWS offers predictable infrastructure costs with no licensing overhead, typically resulting in 50-70% cost savings compared to Coveo, especially at scale.
No Vendor Lock-in
OpenSearch is open source with a vibrant community and multiple deployment options. You own your data, control your infrastructure, and have the freedom to customize without vendor constraints or expensive professional services engagements.
Advanced AI Search Capabilities
OpenSearch offers cutting-edge AI-powered search including neural search with transformer models, vector embeddings for semantic understanding, hybrid search combining keyword and vector approaches, and seamless integration with Amazon Bedrock for generative AI and RAG applications.
Fully Managed on AWS
Amazon OpenSearch Service provides a fully managed experience with automated operations, eliminating the complexity of managing search infrastructure. Benefit from AWS's global infrastructure, security, compliance certifications, and seamless integration with other AWS services.
Complete Control and Flexibility
Unlike Coveo's black-box approach, OpenSearch gives you full control over ranking algorithms, relevance tuning, data pipelines, and custom extensions. Implement sophisticated search features tailored to your specific business needs without vendor limitations.
Scalability Without Premium Pricing
Scale your search infrastructure to billions of documents and millions of queries without hitting licensing walls or premium tier requirements. OpenSearch scales horizontally with predictable costs based on infrastructure, not artificial usage limits.
