Overall Satisfaction with Endeca
Endeca is primarily used by our technology team for the search platform. Endeca offers search and navigation capabilities, which are fairly good compared to market standards. Using Endeca has been essential to our team's deployment of a high performance search platform on our website. In addition to this, we also manage search rules using Endeca's rule manager.
- Possibly the best tool for a basic/simple search platform implementation
- XQuery works well
- Rule Manager is a very useful tool
- Endeca's page builder is not fit to be an enterprise product - it is just BAD!
- It is not easy for a non-user to understand Endeca quickly
- Multi-index search (or any complex search implementation) is not easy to setup in Endeca
Endeca is brilliant for setting up simple and straightforward search platforms that utilise only basic search rules. On the other hand, Apache Solr supports far more complex search platform implementations, including multi-index search. Overall, I would say Solr is far more powerful than Endeca.
