Endeca - A Powerful Tool In The Right Hands
Endeca is used by both our IT and Marketing departments. It is integrated with our eCommerce platform (Oracle Commerce/ATG) to aid in search and navigation functionality. It allows us to categorize products, accessories, add-ons, etc. which is helpful for up-selling and cross-selling within our product lines. Although it is not especially easy to use, it does solve a definite need for us.
- It provides powerful search functionality.
- It adds functionality for navigation which makes it much easier for customers to use our commerce site and find what they are looking for.
- More documentation for the product would be very useful.
- The product almost requires training in order to be able to use it effectively. Knowledge of HTML is a must.

Oracle Endeca - Powerful way to Increase Website Conversions
In my organization, we use Endeca to streamline and simplify the buying experience for our customers across all channels, and several departments are implicated in this and using Endeca. The main business problem it addresses is improving our conversion rate and increasing the number of customers who finalize their sale and minimizing the number that abandon the purchase near the last steps.
- Simplifying our cross-channel selling strategy.
- Improving search for customers.
- Increasing sales from our multiple selling channels.
- Steep learning curve.
- Difficult to set up.

- Increase in revenue from improved search and recommendations for our customers.
- Increase in revenue from cross-platform selling and reminders.
Oracle Endeca was the best option that we evaluated by far. It gave us the most flexibility and ability to meet our objectives and had features that were not offered by the competing products we evaluated, but which we very much wanted, and this was why we decided to go with Oracle Endeca versus another platform.

Endeca as a search/navigation/promotional vehicle is at the center of our ECommerce platform for the past 10 years, and allows our business team to manage product catalog, as well as hundreds of landing pages. It provides a fairly decent basic experience (not to mention pretty advanced feature set that you can tap into), offers robust performance and stability, and mature Java API. Continuously evaluating other products in the space, I still believe we made the right choice in the first place.
- Landing page creation with Experience Manager
- Operational performance and stability
- Feature set
- Business tool set
- Product roadmap (Oracle Commerce V11)
- No well defined commuity
- Sizable learning curve
- Feature set managed without involving the customer base

10 Years of Endeca but not a Pro

Endeca drives our website search and category organization, navigation, and filtering. We use it to execute queries and organize results.
- Does what you tell it to do
- Its logical in its execution
- IT needs extensive training to understand it
- It is moderately flexible
- There is no exact way to put a number to the impact it has had on our site and the sales, but from a user experience we know if has improved
We have not looked at alternatives other than open source, but it does have a leg up but it comes with a very high cost.

It is the search tool that we used for a large eCommerce retailer. We also utilize its rule manager, pagebuilder to build the site.
A later version was used in another team which was building an eCommerce site for another large retailer. The experience manager is used more often.
A later version was used in another team which was building an eCommerce site for another large retailer. The experience manager is used more often.
- Basic search function, performance is good.
- Rule manager is a rich feature that others do not offer.
- XQuery is a powerful tool. Which allows you to exercise more logic one the server side.
- Page builder. Adobe CQ5 is taking a better lead in this area with a simpler, much more intuitive offering.
- Endeca's page builder is disappointing, hard to use. We used it to build the site, but the the client rarely uses it. It is just too complicated.
- Partial update is a pain. The earlier version actually kills the application. We have to stop the partial update, which is very inconvenient.
- Steep learning curve.
- It is a searching tool, and hard to estimate its impact on conversion.
- It does its job regarding better searching; In terms of efficiency, it's hard to say: it has big learning curve. It requires a dedicated Endeca developer to work on it.
- Compared to Solr, it is way too complicated.
- solr
I described it earlier. Again, Solr is much simpler to learn, use and develop, much more intuitive. As an open source resource, Solr is a great tool. And because of adoption by IBM WebSphere Commerce, the decision to abandon Endeca is easy.
