Google Search Appliance (discontinued) vs. Perplexity

The Google Search Appliance is well suited to most site search needs and it is possible to customize the front end seen by website visitors to produce a satisfactory basic interface with basic branding applied to it. However, in some situations it may be necessary to instead make API calls from a web page to retrieve search results and the format in which those results are returned might be a little more difficult to work with.

• There is a significant learning curve for new users.

It's great, but doesn't necessarily feel like it adds enough value over using CoPilot, ChatGPT, or whichever generative AI tool your business already uses. Time will tell if this model continues to be developed, and whether it remains competitive with the other big models out in the industry, and innovating features and integrating more use cases fast.

Neutral rating because I've never needed support.

Google search has always been superior. No other search engine application can even come close.

Perplexity is a good allrounder when it comes to different use cases that an AI could or should cover. There are other AI tools that are better for specific niches such as creation of pictures or other content. But all in all Perplexity is on eye level with ChatGPT and other tools when it comes to being an AI assistant for the user.

• The GSA was not cheap. At all.
• There has also been a cost associated with our need to switch to another site search solution in the near future, due to Google ending support for the sppliance.
• That said, we have so much support content that we owed it to our customers to offer a comprehensive search tool to help them find the most relevant content - and of course Google are the masters of this. However, it's worth noting that the alogorithms used on the GSA are far older than those used on google.com.

• Better initial calls with prospects.
• More in depth knowledge to create a conversation.
• Have advanced some opportunities has a result of using Perplexity.
