    Pinecone
    Similarity search and ranking are fundamental capabilities, and Pinecone just has this nailed. Almost every application, especially those that talk to LLMs, can use this feature, and there is no reason to reinvent it or use anything more complicated or "full stack" than Pinecone. Pinecone is a powerful tool in this space.

    Pros
    Coveo
    • 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.

    • Adding a vector (of course) and we are able to add arbitrary metadata with it.
    • Similarity search, ranking and metadata retrieval.
    • The webui/console tools are nice when debugging/confirming something. Above-average tooling in this regard.

    Cons
    Coveo
    • 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.

    Pinecone
    • Pinecone has come a long way (we have been using it for years). While the tooling used to have some rough edges, I can't really complain these days.
    • Migrating an entire database from one AWS zone to another basically required a full data dump and reload. That could be improved. I have not tried AWS=>GCP=>Azure replications/migrations, but suspect they are not yet well supported, and that would be helpful.

    It is lean and covers all the bases. I am sure there are one or two things that could be better, so 9 instead of 10.

    We selected Pinecone because they had much more startup-friendly pricing.

    Return on Investment
    Coveo
    • 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.

    Pinecone
    • When our product had a primitive search, we were lambasted by users, and we embraced Pinecone to fill an urgent need for something better. Over the years, it has become a wired-in foundation for more than a few product features.
    • The money we didn't spend creating and maintaining something "like" Pinecone has been one of our best investments.
