IBM Watson Discovery is applied in our chatbot for a seamless customer service experience. Also the cloud based Insight architecture of IBM Watson Discovery that unraveled the value of our data: automated data retrieval and NLP content simplification. That saved our time and now makes data control much more accessible. It was also easy with Watson's graphical user interface to train the models of natural language processing in adjusting chatbot templates well. With IBM Watson Discovery, our products and customer satisfaction have increased tenfold. So easy and effective that we were astounded. Overall, IBM Watson Discovery is top notch in sentiment analysis and web service integration.
  • Its flexible, no-code platform allows easy integration into our chatbots.
  • It accelerates the development of cognitive applications with its simple query language and automatic data ingestion.
  • Can process almost every type of file format.
Cons
  • Their lowest tier plan only allows a limited number of Discovery instances.
  • The pricing also increases significantly if you choose to use a higher tier plan.
I'm most likely to recommend IBM Watson Discovery. As its cloud based Insight architecture saved our time by automating data gathering and simplifying the content of NLP. Moreover, using the graphical interface, we efficiently trained NLP models, which allowed us to receive a noticeable increase in customer satisfaction.

An integrated automation tool, capable of tracking, storing and analyzing the data.

We use IBM Watson Discovery in our organization to efficiently and accurately analyse our data and extract useful data points and insights to further improve our software. And all this can be done by using their powerful API which not only is fast and accurate but can analyse almost every type of document such as pdf, excel, word, txt etc. So now we don't need anyone to manually extract data from these files or hire freelancers to do it for us.
  • Help us analyse and extract useful data points and insights.
  • Powerful API which is both fast and accurate.
  • Can analyse almost every type of file including word, pdf, excel, txt etc.
  • No need to hire anyone or a freelancer to extract the data.
Cons
  • Better predefined queries to quickly analyse data after setting it up.
  • Need better OCR as it struggles with any data have images.
If your main goal is to only analyse data that only includes texts, then you should go with IBM Watson Discovery as it is really good at it and the API that it provides is really powerful and analyses almost every types of file. But if your data includes images, then IBM Watson Discovery may not be the best choice for you as it struggles with OCR.
