Google Search Appliance is no longer supported. Apache Solr is a popular, free open source solution, but it lacks a web crawler and is more difficult to configure and maintain.

Elastic Enterprise SearchGlean
Likelihood to Recommend
It excels at quickly adding powerful and flexible search capabilities to a web site--especially if you want to populate the search index via a web crawler. It's great if you want a solution that's easy to learn and easy to manage. But you're paying for this ease of use, so if you want/need a free solution you'll have to look elsewhere.

I think Glean can help any organization. It creates an internal search engine that is specific to your organization, and brings everything into one place. This allows you to access content you may not have otherwise found, especially because other systems do not have effective search capabilities

Pros
  • It's very easy to implement. The documentation is great and you can be up and running very quickly.
  • It's easy to configure. The web-based user interface makes it super simple to configure (i.e. customize search rankings, edit synonyms, etc.).
  • Their support is very friendly and helpful. Whenever I had a question or couldn't figure something old, they were quick to help me out.

Cons
  • Swiftype does not have indexes ready to go. When you add a new website to the search set, it takes some time to index the website. This is something that is different from what Google does. Google in this particular aspect does a relatively better job.
  • Swiftype is very expensive, this makes it difficult for smaller companies to afford.

  • Surfacing results that are often clicked on at the top of the search results (i.e. a recommended result)
  • Use AI to suggest question answers based on search results

We selected Swiftype compared to Google as it is very well designed and has a great layout. The technical support helps anytime we need them. They also provide great support. The analytics provided are also great and provide excellent features. It is easy to use and configure. It has excellent integration with sites and mobile applications. We have done a feasibility analysis with other products such as Algolia, Elasticsearch, Apache Solr.
