Likelihood to Recommend Coveo Relevance Cloud is a great solution to implement into Salesforce to provide Knowledge-Centered Support, Enhancements to a Customer Community, to provide sales aids, or to complement your customized app in Salesforce.
Read full review Overall, IBM Watson Discovery is an amazing technology that we use with our clients to address various business problems, but the biggest challenge has always been about ingesting, analyzing, enriching, and searching huge collections of documents and allowing our end users and SMEs to be able to search for what they need to reduce the time and efforts spent daily on a manual search through various collections of documents. We have successfully managed to reduce manual work by over 80%, and now our SMEs are being used for the skills they have to gather insights rather than do manual work.
Read full review Pros Coveo is fast, search results come up quick (though it's not always great). Not much complexity to run. Coveo is implemented within our portal and doesn't require extra steps to use it. Read full review It is an excellently fast platform with documents and the answers to queries. With automation learning beneficial as it saves time. When searching for a document, everything stays located and easy to find. Acceptance of various documents. It has a quite comfortable Technical support, always available when required. Read full review Cons It would be great if Coveo 6 allowed you to rebuild indexes from a certain subtree instead of needing to rebuild the entire tree to see changes. This functionality was added in Coveo 7 and is very useful. In Coveo 6, integration with Sitecore is more difficult than one would expect. This integration is much improved in Coveo 7. I have seen cases where an exception thrown when crawling a specific document will cause the indexing to stop completely. I believe this only happens in implementations using custom faceting but it could be handled more efficiently if the trouble document was skipped and the indexing could continue. Relevancy ranking editor is good but not as powerful as GSA. GSA offers a self-learning scorer which automatically analyzes user behavior and the specific links that users click on for specific queries to fine tune relevance and scoring. We've ran into issues on multiple clients with Sitecore items being indexed multiple times in Sitecore 7 and Coveo 7. The fix Coveo suggested was to upgrade our Sitecore version and Coveo but unfortunately this didn't resolve our issue. After months of testing we were finally able to resolve this by implementing our own CoveoItemCrawler to get around the issue (based on https://developers.coveo.com/display/public/SC201404/Items+in+the+Same+Language+Gets+Indexed+Multiple+Times;jsessionid=3C1A2AE33540E0A0B8BB52BA3A64AF70). Integration with RabbitMQ in Coveo 7 seems error prone. We often see the error "The AMQP operation was interrupted" and on occasion, need to restart the Coveo service to get this operating again. In some extreme cases, we have also had to restart the server because of issues when attempting to restart the Coveo service. Read full review I believe AI should be more flexible about providing data. However, it's understandable that you need to provide the details you need in a more specific and detailed way. The interface could use more tweaking. Being new to the program, it was kind of hard to navigate. Luckily, there was a customized feature of the dashboard that I could set up, and having something that you know where you are placed always feels familiar and comfortable.

Read full review Support Rating Similar to all IBM Watson and Salesforce product solutions, the overall support would be a 10/10. Their provided FAQ's help with frequently experienced issues and if still unable to figure something out, their customer service representatives are always super responsive. With instant chat functions available, it is easy to ask a quick question rather than sitting on hold.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Discovery differs from its competitors due to the better ease of implementation and the high level of natural language recognition, it is equal in integration resources such as API and workflow or process pipeline, but it loses in the price for a high volume of documents and/or research. If you own or plan to use other services from the IBM Watson family, there is no doubt that Watson discovery is your best option. Another important point is if you plan to use a cloud or on-premise service (local server or private cloud).
Read full review Return on Investment Quick to find things in a massive database when needed. Results need to be more concise - sometimes we spend more time looking for the right file than if we were to just search amongst our own networks instead. Coveo is not always the most useful but does its job when general information is needed. Read full review We find its Enterprise plan expensive for a country of LATAM. For US or Europe based businesses, looks great. A Big Data and massive queries based company would find the service expensive. Maybe a flat price plan would be helpful. Have you thought in making a cheaper plan where you take the learning from your customer's data to enrich your AI tool? Read full review ScreenShots
