Amazon Kendra vs. Google Search Appliance (discontinued)

Amazon Kendra has been great for our internal knowledge base and website search engine. It's an extremely easy-to-use platform that can be easily integrated into bespoke platforms. We understand that it uses state-of-the-art technology, but pricing can certainly be improved in the long term. It does not bother us much now, because it delivers what it promises.

The Google Search Appliance is well suited to most site search needs and it is possible to customize the front end seen by website visitors to produce a satisfactory basic interface with basic branding applied to it. However, in some situations it may be necessary to instead make API calls from a web page to retrieve search results and the format in which those results are returned might be a little more difficult to work with.

• The GSA was not cheap. At all.
• There has also been a cost associated with our need to switch to another site search solution in the near future, due to Google ending support for the sppliance.
• That said, we have so much support content that we owed it to our customers to offer a comprehensive search tool to help them find the most relevant content - and of course Google are the masters of this. However, it's worth noting that the alogorithms used on the GSA are far older than those used on google.com.
