Most Helpful Favorable Review
Verified User in Information Technology and Services
The search results are accurate and are fast. The analytics for what queries are not getting results and what documents get the most hits is nice.
Most Helpful Critical Review
Bas v.
Verified User in Information Technology and Services
It is (apart from the speed) quite unsophisticated. The entire model is geared to get you to pay more, more, more; which is a bit sad. Bug reports are countered with "we can only fix that on an enterprise server" (which is $1500+ per month).
