One of the best options on the market to implement a search engine system for your website
What do you like best about the product?
Considering that, although Swiftype is not a software with the quality of large companies like Google, it has a fairly stable performance and what I like most about Swiftype is that is very simple, you don't gotta have much programming knowledge. It is designed for any company or person who wants to improve their search system on their website, making it fast and intuitive with professional configuration tools but which in turn are easy to use. It also has its suite for expert developers who can customize their search functions and control their API platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Swiftype is a good tool for what it does, but the lack of many functions that other companies such as Google have at reasonable prices makes it stay in a bad position.The prices between the 3 pricing plans are a bit exaggerated, so you should choose wisely and analyze the needs in the medium and long term. Also, some plugins sometimes fail to integrate with Wordpress and other platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It does what it is supposed to do, since it provides predictable search results with the ability to modify the classification of search results, this solves many problems, especially for those who browse your website and are looking for something in specific. The best benefit that I have noticed when using this software is that it is possible to configure the search engine of your site in a very simple way, I do not need great programming knowledge.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The software is highly recommended since it provides you premium tools to create a good search system for your website, even if it is somewhat expensive. Maybe there are better options on the market in terms of prices, but in functionality Swiftype is very good.

Great search-tool, better and clearer results
What do you like best about the product?
Customer have the possibility to just enter one letter and the engine checks the search requests and interests of the visitor and knows directly what to show. The automatically keyword reader shows the available postings also from the whole topic.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard gives us a datasheet of the whole period but the real-time data it’s not correct - we tried it and we see data with delay or just no results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Giving visitors on the website the perfect search engine - whole database will be checked by projects. The mobile application is responsive and works as it should.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that you should analyze the user and customer search requests and also the results that shows the system - so you can control and analyze the results.
Powering our search tasks to the fullest
What do you like best about the product?
Using Swiftype does not require any high-level knowledge in set up programming, thanks to this novice users will be able to get acquainted with the software without any problems and take advantage of its useful functions. A powerful and extendable API is available, it allows developers to build applications and micro services integrating all Swiftype functions. Data indexing is extraordinary in addition of being one of the fastest I've tried in a long time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a problem regarding the number of pages indexed for the plan we chose, due to the heavy load of documents that the crawler indexed the number of pages exceeded the quota of our plan, I do not know as a step this as we made sure to choose a plan that would fit the number of documents that we were going to use, we contacted the support and it turned out to be a configuration problem in their back end, once this was all done everything go smoothly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously our department was running behind in getting a proper configuration that was stable without false positives but no matter what we were doing we could not find a proper solution, with this software we were able to configure the crawler in the specific way that we wanted, lowering to the maximum the number of false positives that might arise and until now we have not had such problems again.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When searching for a SaaS search engines it is necessary to evaluate a series of parameters that will make you choose the best option with a completely objective approach, among these parameters are Results, Set up, Analytics, Pricing, Support. In all these you will find this software among the best option that stands from the others in the market, out of the box engine set up, automatic crawler, real time analytics data and a number of advantages that Swiftype brings with it that will make it very difficult to decide for other software.
I don't know any alternative, elasticsearch is very good.
What do you like best about the product?
Most likely functions are fuzziness, synonyms and other all functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I can say that dislike this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to use, I am switching my application backend API call side to ElastSearch.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am recommending to use Elasticsearch and move your application backend side (I mean the part where frontend call to backend retrieve a data) to Elasticsearch
Feels like Alpha
We were very pleased discovering the option to procure ES Cloud through AWS Amrketplace. However, we quickly found very basic features missing:
- It is not possible to have more than one management account for ES Cloud. Meaning only one user can create and manage deployments (clusters)
- It is not possible to restrict IP ranges for access to ES endpoints
- A private VPC Link apparently requires manual steps on ES side and was not available for us.
Of Course Elasticsearch works and configuration is relatively easy. Due to the issues mentioned, I can't recommend this service for anything close to production.
Fast, intuitive and easy to use search engine with an acceptable Wordpress plugin.
What do you like best about the product?
As a marketing professional I need to boost sales at a fast pace in order to attract as many customers as possible. Thanks to Swiftype we can carry out easy searches and at a fast pace currently plays an important role in our company. The configuration is very simple and I love that it can be integrated with wordpress and mobile applications. The analysis of geographic information is quite complete with very accurate results when using it. Flexible management and a very skilled team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with wordpress works quite badly the plugin in many occasions generates failures. The price structure doesn't seem right to me, it's almost 80$ a month for a good but not excellent search system. By 2019 the company was really presenting problems in their support team leaving really bad in their services. However, I bet they will be better by 2020.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to carry out powerful and fast searches in such a way as to be able to capture organic traffic in an intuitive and cunning way. I use the wordpress plugin as a bold and versatile integration for search work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can recommend Site search because it really does the job it was made for. However, I must stress that it has many problems with regard to its integration, especially Wordpress, so if you really want to acquire the search engine, I think you should analyze well what you want and seek for your work. It is a young company and will surely improve in the future.
I used Elastic search as a search Engine .
What do you like best about the product?
Elastic search worked on the top of Lucene Engine .Elastic search is an open source search engine which is very good in performance. As Elastic search is a document oriented database that is why it worked on full text search that is why it is fast in searching . I like the performance of elastic search.
What do you dislike about the product?
Till now everything is good, I personally feel good while using elastic search.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used elastic search for searching logs while implementing ELK stack to monitoring logs. I feel elastic search good because it is very fast in searching and also scalable.
The Swiftype Search platform is fully designed to meet the search needs of its users.
What do you like best about the product?
Swiftype Search is a truly comprehensive platform that provides a variety of tools needed to build a very good search experience for your users' websites or applications. Swiftype Search allows you to create and manage a search experience tailored to the specific needs and patterns of your users very quickly. Swiftype Search is distinguished by being fully relevant software, having intuitive customization features and being easy to install. In general Swiftype Search is a very easy to configure platform and provides fairly accurate search results, its interface is really powerful and easy to work with, in general Swiftype Search is a simple but highly functional platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have more control over how search results are generated, because currently it is a bit imprecise when performing searches and can be a headache for users. I also think that the 3 plans offered by Swiftype Search are a bit exaggerated and you really have to know how to choose according to the needs of the user, because they are really expensive, personally I think it would be very favorable Swiftype Search to have a cost structure a little cheaper so that many more people can purchase the service of Swiftype Search.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using Swiftype Search for several years now, and I must say that although it has been a platform that has had some setbacks it has been very functional for us in our company, it has really helped us to simplify our work, as it is very easy to work with and configure, in general we consider that Swiftype Search has been a very strategic tool for our company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Swiftype Search because it is a platform of very good operation and high functionality, Swiftype Search is very easy to use, its interface is extremely simple but very complete, Swiftype Search provides the best experience to work because it is very useful, really this platform is distinguished by providing much solidity and guarantee of its service.
Very good software
What do you like best about the product?
Set-up and install was quick and easy, even for multiple sites. Customized result rankings are a key feature for us (although if you have a ton of results, it can be a little tedious to go through) that is also easy to use, along with the ability to create synonym sets for various search terms. Many of our search terms have variations or are easily misspelled, so the synonym set has greatly reduced the number of empty searches that users were experiencing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Theming of the search bar and results isn't exactly intuitive and can require a little guidance. Some pieces could use an upgrade (such as the color picker) to make it easy to theme based on your branding guidelines.
